One thing I noticed about communities I've been part of in the past is the regularly asked question, "what podcast does everyone listen to about ?"

So, I thought I thought we could get ahead of that question here and start building a new tradition that I call, for lack of a better name, Media Monday. For now, I'll list episodes from the last week or so of the podcasts I know.

I'm sure I'm not tuned in to everything, so please don't hesitate to give suggestions. And, as the name implies, it doesn't just have to be podcasts, feel free to also suggest newsletters and vloggers/streamers.

This is yet another attempt at reducing (or eliminating) the performance impact of the GIL on concurrency.

Lots of existing discussion here: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-703-making-the-global-interpreter-lock-optional/22606

What are people's thoughts? I like the idea, but am concerned that it may fracture python development in the short term.

Random math fun with Python

Day 2!

Early release but excited to share. Currently supports logging in, searching for a community and posting into it.

I am using in my mastodon bot, to crosspost to my reddit community

From the description:

I'm still digesting this one and haven't formed any strong opinions yet.

I've had problems in the past where this could have been useful, like ingesting millions of lat/long positions and trying to string them together in a "trail". But, I was still able to handle that fine with namedtuple without too much pain.

Thoughts?

Actually started like an hour ago, derp.

Some neat tricks for using Makefiles with Python that I hadn't seen before. The one I have seen, having a help target, has been super useful in team environments and for debugging when used with variables.

u/msage's comment on another post made me remember seeing this a couple of days ago.
