Python Tip: str.removeprefix/removesuffix
filename = 'test_utils.py'
module = filename.removesuffix('.py') # 'test_utils'
name = module.removeprefix('test_') # 'utils'
Python 3.9+ added removeprefix() and removesuffix(). No more error-prone string slicing.

Python Tip: any() and all()
nums = [2, 4, 6, 8]
all_even = all(n % 2 == 0 for n in nums) # True
has_big = any(n > 5 for n in nums) # True
any() and all() short-circuit on generators. Elegant replacement for loop-based checks.

Health-Sync: How I Automated My Nutrition and Sports Tracking with Python and Obsidian

@ireneista @fogti I strongly feel that #Python is a language for people who despise any semblance of software engineering discipline. Every single part of the ecosystem seems a disorganised mess.
I know it does make it easy for people who are not software engineers to cobble together quite remarkable systems, but...
Some things are just too noisome even to touch.

I’ve been thinking about making an #algorithm for #Python and #JavaScript to create a collage or grid of images varying in dimensions. Perhaps for front end stuff without overlaps, #CSS grid or flexbox will suffice. Issues arise when several moderately large images are to be displayed with overlaps (due to a smaller area to fill).
Any insights?

@ricko The opposite would be great too, as a #Python developer.

Anyone I know good with Python/GTK, and familiar with Exaile media player?
I would like to see some changes, either as core PRs, or plugins, and can't code well enough to make them happen.
Curious to see what a napkin-math quote would be to have them coded, #NoAI, natch.
1) Moodbar background and highlight theme-aware, adjustable height, faster cursor update, increased samples/track
2) Custom columns (any field, including moodbars)
3) Desktop album art size/position

One slight variant option here: instead of writing fiction, I could put together a quick and dirty Learning Python for TypeScript Developers book.
There are a few texts like this already available, but they are (1) very brief, (2) increasingly out of date, and (3) too shallow. By which I mean, they mostly just cover the #Python syntax differences ... which are almost trivial. Especially if #TypeScript isn't your first language. Like, the syntax differences are the least interesting part of it all.
Instead, I could cover things like "here's how you do this common TS/JS/Node/npm task in the Python ecosystem", and "here are some idiomatic differences so your code won't look so alien".
As more and more of the world gets eaten by AI and Python, it seems like it could help some folks feel less like their careers are dead-ending into a brick wall.
