If anyone's interested I've implemented a fairly user friendly lazy import mechanism in the form of context managers (auto_proxy_import/init) at https://pypi.org/project/lazyimp/ t…

If you're building anything past a hello world c ext you're already off the path of shit like poetry, in which case AIUI we're basically on our own as we've always been lol, for be…

AIUI, as the official way setuptools is used is a setup.py calling setuptools.setup(), doing this will remain supported in perpetuity and will really still be powering everything u…

Significant but as it's freethreaded you only run one large process. That alone allows for all kinds of additional optimizations that would be pointless with a lot of little single…

Past some critical mass local dev indeed simply doesn't work, but the majority of codebases aren't ~that~ large. And until that point I feel there's an analogy between having a lig…

I'm a fellow fan of antlr but it's not really an option for the base interpreter. They're (rightfully) very stingy about deps. cpython supports a wide range of platforms and has it…

The whole point of python is to eschew 'magic' in favor of dumb explicitness, and this is about as big of a conflict as you can get to that. Python lacks statement lambdas not beca…

> You could use this to do little stunts like adding an "unless x:" statement equivalent to "if not x:" You say that like it's a good thing. Python is a language empowered by its c…

As far as I can tell functools.partial has been implemented in C since it was added sixteen years ago ( https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/9c323f8de4910dfc0ba... ), and it's …

> Built for Scientific Computing I mean the thing's called 'numba' lol. I always liken Pypy to HotSpot in that to this day the numerical performance of the latter isn't spectacular…

It actually exceeds non-police theft these days: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/11/23/cops-... ( https://outline.com/UX7nfW ).

As a language purist this one is surprisingly well put together. Its impl suffers from legacy (py2 support in general, predating builtin dataclasses, staying in the shallow end of …

and greenlet, and stackless, and pypy's stm.. python's never really been about dogma. part of why its package management is such a mess is because it's been so successful at integr…

If your python files are not in a python package (do not have __init__.py in their directory) then they will be importing non-relatively and resolution depends on sys.path. If you …

As below node has the luxuries of both having been able to learn lessons from python and ruby ~and~ not being a victim of its own success of being already integrated with and a dep…

Name conflicts were basically fixed in 2003 with absolute/relative imports ( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/ ) - you don't ever have to include the name of your library i…

Imagine if it was the day of the Super Bowl, and you wanted to go out to a sports bar that was going to be airing the Super Bowl. So you go out and find a bar that says they're thr…

loom ( https://jdk.java.net/loom/ ) is well on its way :)

Curing polio wouldn't be fair to everyone who already died of polio.

Was the cold war real?

They took a step towards this with https://docs.python.org/3/library/gc.html#gc.freeze but it doesn't go as far as disabling refcount touching outright. I've experimented with doin…

It's not China's fault that the US isn't even testing its own healthcare workers displaying symptoms.

This is the most Hackernews post title I've ever seen.

In the real world it is inevitably a lot more than just those 3 tables - add 'groups', different types of groups, different privacy settings, different per-user feed preferences, e…
