Pre-PEP: Redesigning CPython Source & Binary Dependencies Building CPython from source, whether for local development by contributors or releases, requires various dependencies (like zlib, tcl/tk, etc). Having run into technical limitations with the status ...

I’ve been working with @emmatyping.dev and @itamaroren.bsky.social on a proposal to redesign CPython source and binary dependencies.

Would love to hear from contributors, redistributors etc. about how this redesign might best meet your needs! 🙏

Open source is fun. ❤️

Arithmetic *

I care enough to pull out an envelope and write down the asthmatic to get closer to an answer and I'm inviting the opportunity to have more verified numbers.

I love the saying "back of the envelope" calculations. Is it just me and my dad who says that?

I literally do math on the back of the envelope. I feel like its such a quick empathy building way to convey effort and earnestness.

What kind of economic indicator is it when cute C suite / executive titles pop up?

I would love to be the "Chief Heart Officer" one day.

Heads Up, #Python Developers!

There is an active phishing attack targeting PyPI users.

• Threat: Emails from noreply@pypj.org (with a 'j') link to a fake login page.
• Action: Do not click any links. If you already did, change your PyPI password ASAP.
• Note: PyPI itself has not been breached.

Wife sticking out their tongue. Im smiling. We both have on California class, Cerritos star trek uniforms.

Smiling at the camera blurry.

I'm smiling really big. My wife is kissing my cheek. I'm in a yellow California-class Cerritos star trek uniform. My wife is in a blue uniform of the same design with a Voyager lapel badge.

POV: You walk home with me and my wife from a choose-your-own fancy dress party / surprise backyard wedding.

Who knew the thing that would get me to take my phone off silent for the first time in 3 years was setting my ringtone to Golden x KPop Demon Hunters

Announcing Toad - a universal UI for agentic coding in the terminal I’m a little salty that neither Anthropic nor Google reached out to me before they released their terminal-based AI coding agents.

The Toad is out of the bag! 🛍🐸

Looking down on many tables of sprinters.

Sprinters at their laptops.

Sprinters at their laptops.

An array of snacks and sweets including one with a written warning poster: "VERY SPICY. EAT ONE A TIME. CAROLINA RIPPERS. WASH FINGERS." Plus two types of Finnish salmiakki which should have a warning, and a big rainbow unicorn balloon.

Thanks to everyone for taking part in the #CPython sprint at #EuroPython2025!

Across all CPython repos this weekend:

* 122 PRs created (69 the previous weekend)
* 79 PRs merged (65)
* countless invaluable in-person discussions (a few?)

Changing Directions - Jacob Kaplan-Moss <p>I have two important announcements:</p> <ol> <li> <p>I&rsquo;m leaving the tech industry. Hopefully &ldquo;for good&rdquo;; if not, at least &ldquo;for now&rdquo;.</p> </li> <li> <p>As such, the co...

Reading @jacobian.org 's exit from tech rings a bell. We love computers but we hate the tech industry. We love space but we dread the space industry. We love music but we loathe the record industry.

We can have nice things, just not under capitalism.

(OTOH, excited for him ❤️)
