Had a brief, but intensely frustrating couple of hours of work today.
I was trying to test things on Windows. It was painful. And suuuuch a waste of time.
After a jumping through one dumb hoop after another, the conclusion was this: My problem wasn't Windows! It was #Python! Updates fucking breaking things that used to work. Again.
I enjoy writing Python. I am invested in Python. All my big projects are Python.
Which I now see as a mistake. I should have left when they fucked Python 2.

I’ve been using #Python for 17 years now. Crazy.
And the 8 years before that, I did PHP. I felt more of a PHP expert in those 8 years than I feel like a Python expert now, after 17 years. Is it just the hubris of being young and naive, or is Python that more complex? Or just bigger?

Good point. My problem when I'm a tiny bit 'refreshed' is remembering the basics!
So yeah, sorry all, but how do I get started with this beast?!

OK, I'm (again) seeking help on this Python stuff.
Just received the allegedly definitive book on Python, and the very first example in the book is basically this:
principal = 1000
rate = 0.05
numyears = 5
year = 1
while year <= numyears:
principal = principal * (1 + rate)
print ("{0:3d} {1:0.3f}",format (year, principal))
year +=1
And on my machine (python3 I believe) this fails on execution with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/keith/bin/testing/test.py", line 7, in <module>
print ("{0:3d} {1:0.3f}",format (year, principal))
~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: format() argument 2 must be str, not float
I mean, WTAF? The integer variable 'principal' gets multiplied by a floating value rate, and the following print fails because the result is not a floating value?
I might just go back to Perl, as I know how that works!

I'm working on the docs for the next version of inline-snapshot and I think you will love the new possibilities to create your snapshots. #Python

Looks like #pyenv releases will now be more closely in sync with #CPython releases thanks to some newly implemented automation. That's great news!
Thanks to the devs for making this happen.
