🐍🔐 Python lockfiles are back!

PEP 751: lock files (again)
This was all last discussed in Lock files, again (but this time w/ sdists!) . Probably the biggest change since the initial post of that topic is adding support for per-package locking instead of only per-file locking (it’s explained in the PEP what …Discussions on Python.org
I want to write my #Python docstrings in #Markdown, but I can't seem to find a standardised workflow and format for doing so. I've come across a bunch of tools and scripts people have hacked together, and Stack Overflow answers telling me to write code to convert the Markdown to ReStructured Text so documentation tools can understand it.
Is this really so rare that I have to take on a boat load of complexity to make it work?
This ends a decade of using projects such as gbulb that kindly bridged that gap.

I promised myself that I wouldn't return to this, but the maintainer of #PyNose while "leading a busy life" found time to grace us with a "post-mortem" to the "license confusion". Do I have to point out that it just keeps adding insult to injury?
Some interesting things we learn:
• we "mainly came from Reddit and 4Chan."
• "Certainly looks legal if Microsoft can do it."
• or maybe not… "even big companies can get licensing wrong sometimes."
• …and in general, past actions of Microsoft justify everything.
• he's the hero "who fixes unmaintained Python packages that businesses still depend on", while we're all the villains.
In the end, the biggest issue remains. The guy's so full of himself that he still didn't realize that license wasn't the real problem. The problem was that he was a complete asshole about it, and this "post-mortem" proves that he still is completely incapable of self-reflection.
• […] "pynose will continue to be shipped with Linux distributions around the world."
I wonder why would we want to do that, given that he already banned people participating in the original thread from reporting bugs.
I'm looking for a new role. I've been working professionally with #python for 12 years. For the past year and a half I've also been working with #rust.
In open source, I've contributed multiple headline features to #django and I'm a maintainer of #pyo3.
I'm based in the UK and I'm comfortable with remote work or hybrid.
My ideal role would involve both Python and Rust. I'm open to considering other roles too.
Ouch. The voting page for the #Python Software Foundation (#PSF) Board of Directors 2024 Election is completely inaccessible with a keyboard.
It's hosted by OpaVote, which is presumably a third party. None of the director candidate checkboxes or bylaw change radio buttons can be navigated to, nor can their state be determined with a #screenReader to make sure I'm voting for the intended things. #accessibility

Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I complained that a very large #python contribution to #inkscape was poorly formatted and I felt embarrassed about pushing back and asking them to run a linter over it?
Yeah I'm not fucking embarrassed now, I'm furious. 🤬

🐍🧪 Python 3.13.0 is due out in October 2024 and work is underway to implement *experimental support* for PEP 703 "Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython".
As the Steering Council noted in their acceptance of the PEP, to succeed it's important to have community support.
I wrote a little guide on how you can help test out the beta in your project, and help us find bugs in CPython:

Once upon a time, there was a cool emulator frontend called Retroarch. This emulator wasn't accessible until I and a few other gamers went to them and asked about adding accessibility. An amazing person known as BarryR made it happen. Now, if you turn on accessibility mode in settings, or pass the "--accessibility" (or something like that) flag on the command line, you get spoken menus, including the emulator's pause menu, good for saving states and such. Then, using PIL and other image processing Python utilities, running a server and hooking into Retroarch, the script allowed players to move around the map, battle, talk to NPC's, ETC. The only problem was, no one wanted to test it. The blind gaming community pretty much spoke, saying that we want new games. We want cool new, easy accessibility. So that's what we have no, follow the beacon or get sighted help in the case of diablo and such. It's sad, but meh. It's what we wanted I guess. No Zelda for us. So, this is about as far as he got:
To expand on what devinprater was saying: I am working on an accessibility pack/service for Final Fantasy 1 for the NES (this was what was shown in the latest RetroArch update). The idea is similar to how Pokemon Crystal access works, but it's using the RetroArch AI Service interface to do so.
Right now, the FF1 access service is mostly done, but I need more testers to try it out and give me feedback on how it's working. Right now, you can get up to the point where you get the ship, but there's no code to deal with how the ship moves, so that still needs to be done. Likewise with the airship later on.
The service works the latest version of RetroArch, on linux and mac, but not windows. This is due to how nvda reads out the text and until the next major update to nvda (which will have a feature to fix this), it'll have to wait. If you have those, I (or maybe devinprater) can help you set it up on mac/linux to test out. The package itself is available at: (new link cause old one broke yesterday): dropbox.com/scl/fi/ggffl769fx6…

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.

Jupyter notebooks in 2024 is still not accessible.
