Been using #python intensely for a project at work for a month. Normally everything is #typescript. I am much more familiar with TS but I am falling in love with the expressiveness of Python.
It’s slow and verbose to write good TS, with Python I can be more concise and still get the explanatory value of types through typehinting (surely the main benefit of TS as it’s all JS at deploy). Also testing is such a breeze. Will advocate for more Python less TS.

TIL RHEL8/9/10 have different approaches to the "system" #python used by some of its internal tools like dnf/subscription-manager. They don't all using their own private "platform-python" and in some cases (EL9) it's different between those two tools ...
On EL9/10, platform-python does still exist but is is symlinked back to /usr/bin/python3.9 or 3.12 respectively.
@fedora 41+ uses dnf5 which is a native binary.
platform-python background:

🚴♂️ Here's a small, Python-based, open-source shortest path calculator for cyclists, using OpenStreetMap data.
It runs locally on your (Linux) machine. It supports intermediate waypoints and gives the possibility to fine tune the kind of streets you want to follow (e.g. primary, secondary). Routing quality relies on the information from OpenStreetMap.

Feedback and contributions are welcome 😊

Want to get the unique values from a #Python list? Use a set!
import random
numbers = [random.randint(0, 10) for i in range(20)]
set(numbers) # returns a set of unique numbers
{*numbers} # same result, but uses unpacking syntax
Of course, list elements must be hashable!

Software engineers at major companies are using AI to write production code. Right now.
The question isn't whether to use AI tools. It's whether you know how to use them well.
I'm running two AI-powered practice workshops (#Python and #Pandas) where you'll learn to design better prompts, evaluate AI output critically, and understand the code being generated.

Hey #python #datascience and others who are looking to work in science!
I saw this on BlueSky and thought of you.
Highlights:
The Data Management Division at STScI is seeking an Archive Analyst who will focus on creating user-oriented documentation and tutorials to enhance our sophisticated astronomical data archive.
Applicants must either reside in or be willing to move to our local area, which includes MD, DE, VA, PA, DC, and WV. US Citizenship or Permanent Residency is required due to ITAR regulations.
It looks like they are looking for someone who is Python skilled and interested in space. If that sounds like you or someone you know... hit him up!
