Oh, in other news, Wheel Variants (formerly PEP 817) is being split into smaller PEPs that will be easier to comprehend. The draft of the first split part, PEP 825, titled "Wheel Variants: Package Format" has been merged. We'd appreciate your feedback!

I'm looking for guidance on #python and #uv best practices. I'm developing a small web api with a bunch of components that I'm hoping will be in reusable libraries.
The traditional way to do this would be to just develop the app, with the libraries inside a number of packages in the app root, and then somehow transplant those packages into separate repositories and tweak the original app's dependencies, sometimes with much swearing.
Then there was pip install -e, which at least allowed you to edit the packages as you developed against them.
Now uv seems to have the concept of a workspace which seems to assume a single git repository for all the app and associated libraries, which seems the opposite of what I want, as I would like to start with the separate repositories to begin with.
Is it expecting me to pull the separate repositories as git submodules?
How do I lay this out correctly in the most uv-friendly way?

Assignment Expressions was a controversial enhancement to the Python language and played a central role in Guido stepping down as BDFL https://peps.python.org/pep-0572/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-committers@python.org/thread/GQONAGWBBFRHVRUPU7RNBM75MHKGUFJN/ #programming #language #python #pep

aaand we're off doing the #7drl challenge. This time I'm collaborating with more moonbrainers, with @robotkikker on the arts and deuterium coding and hopefully arting too. We'll make a weird #dream themed #roguelike.
I quickly wrote some game-ish stats in gnumeric, and monkeypatched a #python ods-parser so I can feed it some delicious #spreadsheets All these names will change so no spoilers here, its just enough to get some mechanics going.

Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT) will be available shortly!
This will be a drop-in replacement for the older shell-based toolkit!

Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT) availability announcement
Earlier, we have worked on the shell-based development toolkit that allowed users to build projects and applications more efficiently with the use of shell scripts. We were proud when we had released the toolkit under the tools repository in GitHub.
However, the problems that followed it, including inconsistency in the vendor scripts structure (one shell file for Linux and macOS vs. various batch files for Windows), and maintenance burdens, caused us to implement the second-generation development toolkit, which weâll announce below.
Today, we are very excited to announce that the Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT) implementation is now finally finished!
However, we are going to make this toolkit available shortly, as we are conducting further tests to the toolkit to ensure that it works as intended on multiple projects, such as our public projects. Without further ado, weâll tell you about some of the key features of how ADT will transform your development experience when working on projects:
- Python instead of shell scripts: We have advocated into using Python 3.x in the development toolkit as itâs available on all major platforms, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also simplifies the way you implement your vendor scripts to reduce maintenance burden and to make your scripts more convenient to work with.
- Built-in report system: The development toolkit provides you an âinternal reportâ facility that allows you to generate a report about your project to a text file either locally or on a remote SSH server. This lets you get extensive details about your projects effortlessly.
- Built-in basic Git integration: ADT also contains the Git integration, which allows you to perform some of the most common Git operations, including committing, pushing, and so on. This is not a drop-in replacement for Git and its command-line interface, as it only focuses on the basics.
- Conventional commits: The Git integrationâs commits use conventional commits that weâve described in our contribution guidelines, but you can opt out of the feature to commit changes with bare body by passing
extas the commit type. - Cloneable as a Git submodule: ADT respects the old script-based toolkitâs goals by making it cloneable as a submodule to make the toolkit focus on only one project. This also allows you to maintain different revisions of ADT across different Git repositories.
But, why Python? Why not C# in .NET? Because Python is a scripting language, while C# is more suited for applications. We are very grateful to explore new opportunities moving forward with the ADT toolkit!
The initial version will be released as a drop-in replacement for the script-based development toolkit, but you can still use the older toolkit under a new, archived branch.
Please note that youâll have to obtain Python 3.10 or greater to be able to use this toolkit without any problems.

How do you collapse runs of adjacent spaces in #Python ?
That is, shorter runs of 2+ consecutive spaces so there's only 1 space there?
I can't come up with a simple/straightforward way to do it with `str.join` and I'm surprised...
What am I missing?

And non-zero version epochs in #Python are now officially discouraged. Not that anyone used them.

Don't get me wrong, the learning curve is real!
However Python devs have a head start â you already think in types, you already care about elegance + clean code.
Which tip would've helped you most? Or any other ones?
