I don't think Python is special in this regard. I have the same issue with .NET/C# stack traces. With Python, you can run your program under pdb, which will automatically enter break on exceptions, and you can easily print locals.

This is awesome. Here are a couple bits of feedback: - It took me a while to find the Metadata tab to edit a request's name, I guess because I don't think of the name and description as metadata (even if in a technical sense they

Considering how important style is in most genres, I think the swipe interface could be a good way to quickly find better potential matches, assuming there's a pre-filter based on your selected genres. If I was looking to start a band

The general rule I use is that libraries should not specify upper bounds on dependencies but applications should. I use Poetry for all my projects, but I agree that it exacerbates the issue somewhat with its default npm-style version syntax

I've recently started using Lighthouse to test sites for accessibility compliance, and you can easily get a score of 100 without actually addressing all the accessibility issues a site might have. So, if you're not conscientious,

I used to be one of those devs, thinking I had the most beautiful coding style. When I embraced formatters, I started spending so much less time and effort keeping the style "correct" and worrying about how other people on the t

I was an occasional smoker for over a decade and only got addicted to nicotine when I started vaping. It's more anecdata, but I don't think vaping is any less addictive than smoking cigarettes, and for many people vaping will incr

I was just looking at the status of IronPython, and it's on Python 3.4 , which has been end-of-life for nearly five years. I'm not sure that indicates practical usability for most developers. Only C#, VB, and maybe F# actually

I've been learning .NET recently and there are several choices for building a webapp, such as MVC, Razor pages, and Blazor (further split into server vs web assembly). MVC uses Razor views , Razor pages use Razor pages , and Blazor u

I use pyenv myself, but that is beside the point. The two examples above are using different strategies to install python3 versus pypy. A valid comparison would use a package manager for both or pyenv for both.

by saila 3y ago
For a more apples to apples comparison, you would install pypy using your package manager, e.g. apt install pypy3 or brew install pypy3 . On Linux, you might have to add a package repo first.

They support SSL because some browsers force https, but they then force a redirect to a non-SSL page. Seems reasonable. I think I may be missing the point of this being posted on HN. Does it cause issues in certain workflows or something?

Coming from a mostly-Python background myself, I'm curious if you've looked into F# for this. It's succinct like Python, gives you type safety, and you can use .NET libraries.

Your comment is quite unnecessarily vitriolic, but I do love the notion that it's possible to become cool by learning a new programming language. Besides, all the common languages we use now, whether or old or new, have all gone thro

I don't think it's fair to say Rust is a "latest craze" language. Maybe five years ago, but not now. Numerous tools have been (re)written in it and supplanted old tools in at least some cases. Additionally, there are rea

I use `pip install --user pipx` to install pipx, but I think a better option when using homebrew would be `brew install pipx`. With the latter, doing a `brew upgrade` should keep python and pipx in step. EDIT: Thinking about this some more,

If you don't mind adding a pyproject.toml, you could use pipx[1] to install these scripts. The directory structure would look like this: <name>/ pyproject.toml <name>.py The pyproject.toml woul

I don't think there's a consensus, but there are some good modern options. I think poetry is a good choice, and it seems to be fairly popular. I use it for all my Python projects and haven't found a compelling reason to switc

You can do something similar in Python: utf8_bytes: bytes = bytes(input_string, encoding="utf-8") # Perform the conversion from one encoding to the other. unicode_string: str = str(utf8_bytes, encoding="utf

Using a typical set of Post & Comment models, where Comment has a foreign key to Post, I couldn't figure out how to do this with just a single query in Django. Using prefetch_related, the 2-query version is pretty straightforward:

You could probably get this down to two queries, one for posts and one for comments, if you aggregate the vote count when retrieving the comments. I think this is pretty easy to do with most ORMs. You could also get it down to 1 query using

If you type `func "arg"`, you get a generic syntax error. If you type `print "arg"`, the syntax error is a bit more informative, but I wouldn't say that the compiler "understands" what you mean . It'
