Reading a CSV file into a #Python #Pandas data frame? Speed things up by specifying the PyArrow engine. Data storage isn't affected.
df = pd.read_csv(filename)
df = pd.read_csv(filename, engine='pyarrow')
With a 2.2GB file, it took 4s vs. 55s -- more than 10x faster!

The @ThePSF is hiring an infrastructure engineer. If you have an interest in keeping the things that make Python work going this is for you!

What choices lay before you when your Elixir app needs functionality that only exists, or is more mature, in Python? There are machine learning models, PDF rendering libraries, and audio/video editing tools without an Elixir equivalent (yet). You could piece together some HTTP calls, or bring in a message queue...but there's a simpler path through Oban.

Plan to Adopt Contributor Covenant 3 as Django’s New Code of Conduct
Last month we announced our plan to adopt Contributor Covenant 3 as Django's new Code of Conduct through a multi-step process. Today we're excited to share that we've completed the first step of that journey!
What We've Done
We've merged new documentation that outlines how any member of the Django community can propose changes to our Code of Conduct and related policies. This creates a transparent, community-driven process for keeping our policies current and relevant.
The new process includes:
- Proposing Changes: Anyone can open an issue with a clear description of their proposed change and the rationale behind it.
- Community Review: The Code of Conduct Working Group will discuss proposals in our monthly meetings and may solicit broader community feedback through the forum, Discord, or DSF Slack.
- Approval and Announcement: Once consensus is reached, changes are merged and announced to the community. Changes to the Code of Conduct itself will be sent to the DSF Board for final approval.
How You Can Get Involved
We welcome and encourage participation from everyone in the Django community! Here's how you can engage with this process:
- Share Your Ideas: If you have suggestions for improving our Code of Conduct or related documentation, open an issue on our GitHub repo.
- Join the Discussion: Participate in community discussions about proposed changes on the forum, Discord, or DSF Slack. Keep it positive, constructive, and respectful.
- Stay Informed: Watch the Code of Conduct repository to follow along with proposed changes and discussions.
- Provide Feedback: Not comfortable with GitHub? You can also reach out via conduct@djangoproject.com, or look for anyone with the
Code of Conduct WGrole on Discord.What's Next
We're moving forward with the remaining steps of our plan:
- Step 2 (target: March 15): Update our Enforcement Manual, Reporting Guidelines, and FAQs via pull request 91.
- Step 3 (target: April 15): Adopt the Contributor Covenant 3 with proposed changes from the working group.
Each step will have its own pull request where the community can review and provide feedback before we merge. We're committed to taking the time needed to incorporate your input thoughtfully.
Thank you for being part of this important work to make Django a more welcoming and inclusive community for everyone!
