I've updated the https://www.python.org/downloads/ page:
Added download links to the active Python versions table. Before, you had to hunt for the one you wanted in the table below.
They're redirect links, so, for example, https://www.python.org/downloads/latest/python3.15/ goes to https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3150a2/ and https://www.python.org/downloads/latest/python3.13/ goes to https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3139/
Could be handy for your docs, if you want to point people to the latest, say, 3.12.

Mastering Machine Learning starts with understanding its core algorithms.
This cheatsheet covers supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning — along with key practices like normalization, evaluation metrics, and model tuning.
A must-have for anyone building predictive or intelligent systems.

I was asked over IRC if my cosine-powered Fizz Buzz could be a one-liner. Of course it can:
printf 'from math import cos, pi\nfor n in range(1, 20):\n print([n, "Fizz", "Buzz", "FizzBuzz"][round(11/15 + (2/3) * cos(2*pi*n/3) + (4/5) * (cos(2*pi*n/5) + cos(4*pi*n/5)))])' | python3

I have spent an unproductive afternoon wrestling with #tkinter in #Python. I don't think I've ever used such an unfriendly layout manager.

Fun easter egg in Python 3.12 release notes

TIL in #python,
str(None) == repr(None) == 'None'
but if you evaluate None interactively in a repl nothing is printed.
I've noticed that you can make #QtWebEngine act as a simple web browser with a very thin wrapper written in #Python using #PySide.
It might help me to be more conscious about my internet usage, which is something I want to achieve since a long time.
So, I've committed such crime: https://codeberg.org/Aelspire/pyquefa-browser
I'm sorry!
