By popular demand (@miketheman), pypistats now has a `--sort` option so you can sort by other columns such as date, rather than the default downloads.

Does anybody need going to #fosdem2026 #fosdem an #elixir or #ruby coder? I can also do #python #java and #clang
Just for the sake of #programming with #python and #claude I created a script to refresh ADGuard DNS private linkip (for devices that don't support secure DNS).

Someone opened a bug report in my project https://github.com/Jajcus/python-alsa-midi/ so I finally have a reason, to get back to it, at least for a bit.
And again, as every time, I need rework the CI pipeline bit that tests the code with actual ALSA in Linux kernel (standard kernel on #GitHub runners does not contain the ALSA stack at all). Virtualisation is not officially supported and the hacks that work change every time.
Tomorrow at the Data Science Lab 🧪 we are hearing from the amazing Edgar Ruiz about the {mall} package:
Run Natural Language Processing against your #RStats tibbles or #Python Polars DataFrames for sentiment analysis, text summaries, and more!
Join us at 12 pm ET: https://pos.it/dslab

Mentioned this a couple weeks ago, curious about possible use cases in #blender3d. For an artwork (which I'll share this week!) I wanted to pose 3D characters, then convert to 2D to further adjust for composition. The default "convert to grease pencil" leaves it in 3D, unculled and without matching colors/materials.
So, I coded an add-on that projects 3D meshes into 2D grease pencil.
The biggest appeal I see for this is webcomics, but any other use cases I'm missing? #b3d #python

Starting to plan #pyconus2026 logistics.
Bummer. There are no direct flights from Boston to Long Beach.
I find stop overs INCREDIBLY stressful, navigating between gates and figuring out the signage with low vision is - unfun :)
A coworker recommended flying into LAX and taking an Uber to Long Beach. That may bear some research!
Heard about __new__, the constructor in #Python?
You can basically forget about it. It's for advanced, unusual cases.
Just use __init__! It runs automatically on every new instance.
__init__ is for assigning attributes to self (what other languages call "instance variables").

Giới thiệu LLM-X – thư viện Python mã nguồn mở để ước lượng chính xác bộ nhớ sử dụng khi chạy mô hình ngôn ngữ. LLM-X phân tích ngược tensor, hỗ trợ định cỡ bộ nhớ theo thực tế (kể cả padding, căn chỉnh, bộ nhớ tạm, KV cache), tương thích phần cứng và đạt độ chính xác ~98% (sai số ~1.8%). Hiện hỗ trợ *.safetensors, GGUF sẽ có sau. Thử ngay và đóng góp nhé! #LLM #AI #MachineLearning #Python #AI #LLM #Python #Máy_học #Trí_tuệ_nhân_tạo

Did you know you can get similar concurrency as asyncio/ASGI in Flask, by using gevent? It's been possible as long as Flask has existed! Turns out we never documented it, so how would anyone have known? Fixed that https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/gevent/ #Python #Flask #gevent
