The beta release for version 2 of @skytemple Randomizer is out! It's completely rewritten in GTK 4 and Adwaita and runs on Linux (Flathub), macOS and Windows!

Thanks to Workbench, Blueprint Compiler and GNOME's HIG redesigning the UI was actually a lot of fun, and the new UX just feels so nice and satisfying to work with.

Next up is migrating the SkyTemple main app to GTK 4 as well!

Python has seen significant performance improvements in the last few releases. MarkupSafe has a C extension to speed up operations, but it's now *slower* in many cases than the plain Python implementation. Having a C extension increases the difficulty of maintenance, builds, releases, and installs. I'm wondering if it's time to drop the speedups. github.com/pallets/markupsafe/… #Python #MarkupSafe #Flask


Jupyter notebooks in 2024 is still not accessible.

In his #PyCascades talk, Venkatesh Potluri (who is blind) noted that popular Python libraries like matplotlib etc still can't embed alt text.

He made a patch for it, but the notebooks still don't pick up alt text.

Workbench 46 is out! 🛠️

flathub.org/apps/re.sonny.Work…

Actually it was a couple of hours ago before GNOME 46 but I didn't want to steal the show 😎

Here are the highlights 💡

Inline diagnostics for #Rust :rust: and #Python :python:

New Library demos: 📚

"Snapshot" to demonstrate one of GTK4 coolest feature.

"Dialog" and "Message Dialogs" to demonstrate libadwaita 1.5 new responsive dialogs.

26 demos ported to Python
5 demos ported to Vala

@dangerzone is an open source app that uses container sandboxes to create a "virtual photocopy" of a document.

This is to protect journalists and others from malware & trackers that might be implanted in documents sent to them by someone pretending to be a confidential source.

We (@freedomofpress) are hiring a software developer on a 6 month contract to work on the project. Remote, $70/hour, >=3 years of Python dev experience.

Is this Python diagnostics coming to Workbench 46 ? :python: :gnome:

Why yes it is!

Collaborative effort with @janvhs and @capypara 🙌

We are using pylsp and Ruff.

I'm also very excited to share that all 100+ demos have been ported to Python. Thanks to all contributors!

Happy 30th to #Python 1.0.0, announced by Guido van Rossum on 27 Jan 1994 in comp.lang.misc! 🎂 🎈 3️⃣0️⃣ 🍾 🎉

Python 1.0.0 is out!

Guido van Rossum
27 Jan 1994

--> Tired of decyphering the Perl code you wrote last week?

--> Frustrated with Bourne shell syntax?

--> Spent too much time staring at core dumps lately?

Maybe you should try Python, the next generation object-oriented
scripting and prototyping language, with a *readable* syntax.

The #Kivy UI framework for #Python has been completely inaccessible to screen reader users for many years. But my colleague Arnold Loubriat is working on fixing that, using #AccessKit, particularly the Python bindings that he developed. There's still a long way to go on this project, but he has posted his work in progress here: github.com/DataTriny/kivy/tree… And here's the tracking issue: github.com/kivy/kivy/issues/85…

I was laid-off a few weeks ago and am looking for a new role. If anyone is looking for an experienced backend engineer who loves to build products & teams then please reach out or connect!

I have experience with #Python, Rust, lots of networking background, and more. Open to remote or hybrid roles in near Boston.

So I've been working with GTK4/Libadwaita in Python (in Flatpak), and I'm trying to get notifications to work.

I keep getting this error: "gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: Timeout was reached (24)"

Am I missing Flatpak overrides? (Docs seem to say no docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/por… )

Am I doing this wrong? (Code at github.com/TheKrafter/Grouping… )

My task was to wrote a custom import module in #python that can read data from an excel xlsx document. I had end up implementing it by using #xlrd module initially and later on I discovered it no longer handles xlsx files thus I converted it to use #openpyxl instead.


I'm looking for a new job, or contract work, for the first time in a while - boosts appreciated!

I'm a polyglot programmer, with a wide range of experience behind me, from developing firmware that runs on 8-bit AVR, to highly distributed systems across hundreds of nodes, I covered pretty much the whole landscape.

I had my fair share of Ops experience too, and worked in (technical) Customer Service aswell.

I speak many languages (#C, #Rust, #Lua, #Python, #JavaScript, some #Go among them), but I pride myself in being able to pick up a new language at a decent level between signing a contract and starting on the job.

I'm a #Linux guy through and through, and have very little experience (or desire) to work with anything else, save maybe for the BSDs. I worked with containers, databases (relational and otherwise); in the cloud and on premises. I can debug, I can mentor, I can teach, and build, and integrate (continuously, even!). I'm not afraid of git rebase, nor of a crowd to speak in front of.

I live in Hungary, and am seeking remote work. I cannot relocate.

If you are someone looking for something like that, or know someone who is, please get in touch. My CV - with contacts - is available here.

Happy Monday! I am looking for work.

I am looking for a role related to compilers ideally, but I'm also capable in numerical computing and back-end roles. I have experience with #Rust 🦀 and #Python 🐍 .

I have a deep knowledge of Python from working on #mypy and CPython itself. The quantum compiler I worked on was a mixed Python/Rust codebase.

I'm looking for remote/hybrid near SF Bay Area.

We have 2 openings in my team to work on #OpenSource full time vr.se/om-vetenskapsradet/jobba… #sunet #python #Linux #debian #sweden

I can vouch for the team & the management, and your work will directly affect research & higher education sector across the globe. Oh, also the identity developer role also means you will work on projects touching every EU residence's life.


Si tu fais de l'informatique, et que tu comprends pas toujours ce qui se passe dans ta babasse, parceque tu ne programmes qu'en #java, #javascript,#python je t'encourage vivement perdre quelques heures de ta vie pour regarder cette série de vidéo.

Hello #Fediverse! #Pinetta is a decentralized FOSS social pinboard in the style of Pinterest. After a month of planning, we've settled on a basic game plan and are opening up our @Codeberg repo for contributions from devs and designers!

We'll be working on a prototype that uses #Python and #Django to get the basic functionality working. We'll also be hosting weekly sharing sessions on #CommunityBuilding principles to develop our Code of Conduct and a larger framework for community wellness. 🥳


So let’s see if Mastodon can be used to find jobs. Please boost for visibility! 🙏

Irina Truong is one of the best senior #Python developers I know. Her work is always outstanding and polished. She also contributes to open source: github.com/j-bennet. You want her in your team, trust me.

Unfortunately she was part of the 13% recently laid off by #Elastic. This is your luck! She’s now open to work: linkedin.com/in/irinatruong


I used #OpenAI to write a poem about the programming language #Python. It's amazing, actually, that this works so well.

This website is going to change a lot about our society. I can see how it may change my life already.

Repeated the #compression #benchmark with the same file on a beefier machine (AMD Ryzen 9 5950X), results are quite identical, except faster overall.

This plot is also interesting:

- #gzip and #lz4 have fixed (!) and very low RAM usage across levels and compression/decompression
- #xz RAM usage scales with the level from a couple of MBs (0) to nearly a GB (9)
- #zstd RAM usage scales weirdly with level but not as extreme as #xz

#Python #matplotlib


First results of my #compression algorithm benchmark run on a 72MB CSV file. It seems #zstd really has something for everybody, though it can't reach #xz's insane (but slow) compression ratios at maximum settings.

This chart includes multithreaded runs for #zstd.

Very interesting! 🧐
