    Lutron Caseta has a telnet interface via an Ethernet port. Read as much into that statement as you want.

    I keep wondering if it was as well given code I've had to wrangle that _wants_ twos compliment fixed size math in Python. Both signed and unsigned. But our language tries not to ha…

    Because there are. Digging through our history, a person who reported the same thing earlier than you never got a response at all. Like I said, we've identified organizational issu…

    We'll link to this in ten years when you're still writing some Real Things in Python assuming this site even stays up that long and we have nothing better to do. ;)

    Doesn't the local government want to tax those digital "currency" sales you used as a transfer mechanism as capital gains income?

    Look up PyOxidizer. But also look at MyPy's internal MyPyC if you want something that uses type information for some speedups.

    MyPy is not owned by Dropbox. They use it and many significant contributors work there, so it is easy to get this impression. But it was started before that happened.
