How is it that there's no good tool to migrate a setuptools project to pyproject.toml, while still keeping setuptools as the build backend? Meanwhile, hatch and pdm both have workflows for converting (and thus switching off setuptools). #python

Did any of your projects use pylint? I'd love something that runs faster than pylint but they are still missing some compatibility there. Though it's been a while since I've gone though all the rules github.com/astral-sh/ru...

What?! I don't understand how layoffs like these make sense when the total number of employees each year goes up. What could be the justification?

@brianokken.bsky.social Just listened to your test & code episode on pytest-check. From the episode it seems like it's in the same space as unittest's subtest. There's a pytest-subtests plug-in as well. It would be interesting to hear how these compare. Perhaps in a separate episode?

Thanks for this. A helpful thing to add in the table would be review score, either from steam reviews or metacritic.

Really enjoyed this. Wish it was longer so you could have gotten more into the details of the algorithms

Very cool linking back to the original in 2007 and reading the comments talking about Python 2.5+!

Well the opening of that video hasn't aged well. Now we can't talk about dei in America at all.
