I'm not sure I understand the question, but I can answer both interpretations: 1. Did it (the chord trainer app) help my son when he was studying music? Not as far as I can tell. He has also been taking piano lessons and sometimes it h

I can't believe I didn't put this in the original repo, but this is where I got the piano samples from: https://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/mis.html They have guitar samples as well, but it was a bit more complicated

So I built the original web app for this (it's not stolen, it's open source and I told OP they could fork it). I've been glad to see it getting more attention over the years. One note of caution here is that with my older son

Well, pytz actually is technically flawed at the moment because it cannot read TZif Version 2+ files, so it breaks for dates >2038 (and it would break if you tried to point it at system data generated with zic's "slim" mod

Actually, naïve times are considered aware in the system time zone. There's no good way to create a `tzinfo` object that behaves like "the system time zone" and doesn't have unfortunate consequences. See this article: h

This is at worst a lateral move — you need something installed that handles your test invocation for you. It could be `make`, `tox`, `nox`, `poetry` or whatever. For a number of reasons (detailed in the article), that thing shouldn't

Sorry, I could have been more clear there, and I've updated the post. I have the "curse of knowledge" and took is as assumed that you can only do this if your particular build configuration fits in setup.cfg. For me, the fact

I think that it is true that I should have written this article or something like it years ago, but there's still a long tail of people who don't even know that invoking setup.py is bad, or that the goal is to get rid of all set
