I am happy that it actually works identically and interchangeably across tools for you.

Rust has and “advantage” here that it’s not generally shipped with your distro’s package manager. I think my biggest problem with this article is that the distros put Python there in the first place, and all of them apply patches to make Py

Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. —The next line This ZoP line is by far the most misused cliché of all things Python. How is it determine that “prototyping in C++ and rewriting in C++” is not the obv

I think I use struct much more when interfacing with C, but I can see array being useful for arrays specifically when you expect more than a couple of elements. Both are still quite niche though.

They are recommended when you want speed, but most people writing Python probably never need that much speed (or would probably want numpy anyway), and the few who do likely have more private sources to recommend it for specific occasions.

The latter two are correct (and likely most of your etc.), but pip is not official. pip maintainers only claim it is “PyPA recommended”, and PEP 453 is extremely careful to only say “officially recommended” (by CPython core maintainers). I

To be pedantic, Python has exactly zero official package managers. Nothing in packaging is “official” (well maybe distutils is but it’s also officially deprecated).

Because it’s out of the language implementors’ hands. Support in Apache, for example, requires Apache to be compiled with certain configuration, so if big Apache distributors don’t compile with support to your language, there’s nothing a l

The compile time depends largely on dependencies. If you have OpenSSL, zlib, and whatnot pre-installed (either via Homebrew or self-compiled and specified with environment variables), the compile time is close to 5 minutes. If you don’t, by

I suppose you actually mean close source? Because it’s trivial to distribute proprietary code on PyPI: Just say that in your license. There is no true “close source” for pure Python programs, but if obfuscation is close enough, you can choo

Another solution if you write fully-typed Python is to use typing.Literal: calc(x, y, mode="gain") where the function is defined as def calc( x: float, y: float, *, mode: Literal[&quo

The story presented in the article is actually a simplified example presented by Cleomedes to explain the method. It is unknown what Eratosthenes did to derive the calculation, but according to Eratosthenes, he used existing surveyed measur

(Disclosure: I’m one of the PEP authors.) I want to clarify a point since many comments seem to go “I do container/Nix/virtualenv so this is not a problem”. That’s absolutely correct, nothing will ever go wrong if you do any of th

This is similar to the static vs dynamic linking debate. It’s easiest to deploy things if they are all self contained, but Linux distros have a strong tradition of dynamic linking and really don’t want to have (say) two separate paycopg2 in

To supplement, the “root” issue of the whole situation is some users are actively installing things into that system env. So the PEP is providing a mechanism for pip to detect it’s being used to install things into a system env and have a c

Are you confusing live chats to comments? My post (and your parent post) was about the comment section, which is not real-time. You can’t comment under a live event, only in its recording after the event has finished. The live chat section

“Deleted all comments” is click bait IMO. This is a YouTube video, so the choice is either to allow commenting, or disable the comment section with all existing comments with it. The title reads to me to imply MS is doing some kind of censo

I know you did, but it does not make the accusation less, uh, irritating to a Taiwanese, lacking a better expression (I don’t feel that strong, but do feel uncomfortable). The point is not how the threat can be addressed in what way, but yo

pre-commit is actually a very solid linter task runner framework, I would still recommend it even if you don’t like Git pre-commit hooks (just omit the `pre-commit install` part); the `pre-commit run` command is still very useful invoked di

Home cook tip: You can approximate the cooking step by microwaving the onions. Not the same, of course, but takes a lot shorter.
