In retrospect, I should have known better than to do this, but I was hoping to avoid making a temporary copy. (SPOILER on why not in the replies) #python #gotchas

I will be streaming on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/glyph_official/ in a bit over 17 hours (10AM US/Pacific on Tuesday), writing some #Python code in #Emacs. If that is interesting to you feel free to stop by, and don't worry about derailing anything; I'll probably be working on Pomodouroboros again but happy to chat about whatever!

Test your mental model of Python's import system. 🤨

I haven't had to write a Python app that uses a database in a very long time. I thought things were different now. Better, I would hope. But, seriously? Do I still need to write my own SQL statements? What year is that? 🙄

PS: if someone can suggest a Python library that I can use to manipulate SQLite without writing SQL, I would appreciate it.

#Python #SQLite

oof here's a cursed question:

how does one make a #python dataclass with a subclass that changes *only* the default values of its fields, without adding new ones? is that doable?

Can any #python folks develop an opinion about https://github.com/glyph/Fritter/pull/10 ? I don't need a full code review but it would be really useful to have thoughts about whether it's clear when this would be useful, if it would in fact be useful, or if "discrete" is both a correct and useful shorthand for what it's doing.

Earlier this week I asked how people name the different parts of a function in Python. I wrote up my takeaway thoughts here:

Learning #Rust made me a better #Python programmer.

Not because I write Rust at work. Because Rust forced me to think about things I'd been ignoring and I never realized this fact.

I don’t know if there’s anything the #python community can actually do to make python less appealing to malware developers—maybe it’s just easier to develop software with, and malware is software—but we should be reckoning with the fact that it *is* popular for that https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/02/02/infostealers-without-borders-macos-python-stealers-and-platform-abuse/
