Had a great time at @pycon.us this year—skipped most talks and went all in on the hallway track.
I asked Python folks what they really think about AI taking over programming. Their answers (and a few surprises) are in my latest post 👇

Thanks to open-source tools like `python-chess` and Stockfish, anyone can build their own chess analysis program.

I'll be walking through how to do this live at @pycon.us poster session this weekend. Let’s write some code, analyze some blunders, and build something fun together. ♟️

GitHub - gruns/icecream: 🍦 Never use print() to debug again. 🍦 Never use print() to debug again. Contribute to gruns/icecream development by creating an account on GitHub.

- A superset of github.com/gruns/icecream
- Supports debugging function calls, benchmarking execution time etc.

Introduction Agent Framework / shim to use Pydantic with LLMs

#Python Gem of the Day

💎: Pydantic releases PydanticAI: AI agent framework
ai.pydantic.dev

- Can create LLM-powered agents that can run tools/functions based on user prompts, all with the type-safety guarantees provided by Pydantic.
- Can also be run locally using Ollama models that support tools.

- The implementation overfetches an object and uses that to determine if next page is present.

𝚍𝚎𝚏 𝚙𝚊𝚐𝚎(𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏, 𝚗𝚞𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛):
...
𝚋𝚘𝚝𝚝𝚘𝚖 = (𝚗𝚞𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛 - 𝟷) * 𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏.𝚙𝚎𝚛_𝚙𝚊𝚐𝚎
𝚝𝚘𝚙 = 𝚋𝚘𝚝𝚝𝚘𝚖 + 𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏.𝚙𝚎𝚛_𝚙𝚊𝚐𝚎 + 𝟷
...

- Can also be applied to ORMS other than Django for optimizing performance.

Avoid Counting in Django Pagination This article looks at how to avoid the count query in Django's paginator.

#Python Gem of the Day

💎: Avoid Counting in Django Pagination by Nik Tomazic: testdriven.io/blog/django-...

- Default Django paginator uses SELECT COUNT(*). Slow for big tables.
- Discusses an implementation of paginator class without COUNT.

We need more of these Python in production posts! Waiting for the next part..

Opposite of Cloud Native is? Time to define what it means to be NOT cloud-native, in a positive way.

Python in production #1 (Cloud Native vs Stack Native) by @mkennedy.codes

💎: mkennedy.codes/posts/opposi...

Covers the architecture of production apps which handle:
- 9M req per month
- 10 TB traffic (1 TB served by Python)
Hosted on a 8 CPU / 16 GB Hetzner server.

Loop targets People were surprised by my example of assigning to a dict item in a for loop. Here’s more explanation.

for loops can assign to dict keys (and much more)..

Python puzzles where we are given test files and need to write solutions to satisfy the tests.

Is Python Really That Slow? My standard response when someone asks me how I deal with Python being such a slow language is that Python is by far the fastest to write, cleanest, more maintainable programming language I know, and…

Python is said to be the second-best language for everything.

Thread local data in #Python

Since threads in Python share the memory space of their parent process, we might need to define thread-specific variables for specific use cases to avoid unintended side effects.

Evolution of `sort` in #Python and the role of `cmp_to_key`

This article from my "Python in the Wild" newsletter discusses the evolution of sorting from Python 2 to 3, and features an open-source example illustrating the usage of `functools.cmp_to_key` for sort operations.
