A great write-up on #async vs #multiprocessing in #Python. Many teams face that problem for data science tasks with external data consumption (e.g. using #Kafka), but don't understand the underlying mechanics. There's no magic bullet; engineering is a #discipline. https://pythonspeed.com/articles/two-thread-pools/ by @itamarst #datascience #threadpools #performance #optimization

#newzealand Do you know your way around Payment Processors, eg Stripe? Would you please volunteer to coach a small group of learners through (virtual) hands-on workshop covering the Python i/face plus professional-grade considerations eg privacy and security?
Emphasis on the 'doing'. Suggesting 'now', December, January.
Happy to help assemble materials and plan approach...

Good templating is fun.
Buckets are used to store the bytecode for one template. It’s created and initialized by the bytecode cache and passed to the loading functions.

Does anyone know of a good overview how much overhead using ctypes to call functions from a dynamic library adds to #python code instead of building a native extension e.g via #cython #pybind11 or #nanobind ?
A blog post with some statistics would be perfect but just ballpark figures from anyone who knows what they are talking about is fine
