Hi! I said this with more certainty than I should have. Software can always have bugs! For reference, I wrote isort, and my response came from the perspective that I have certainly worked very hard to ensure it doesn't have any behavio

FWIW, I wrote isort, but am seriously considering migrating my projects to use Ruff. Long term I think the design is just better over the variety of tools we use within the Python ecosystem today. The fact we have a plethora of projects tha

I personally think avoiding getting infected ever, just is so impractical as to not lay out as an option. As evidence more and more is showing both infected and vaccinated people are likely to spread the infection (even if they don't g

This is complete nonsense. If anything VAERS would be over-reported, the people who are most against vaccination, blast it so often I see it in my facebook feed more often than advertisements. Anyone can add to VAERS, and I'm sure with

While we are sharing meaningless anecdotes, almost everyone I know (since I live in Seattle) has been vaccinated. No one has reported any issues, a couple have since successfully had a child. None have even gotten a breakthrough infection o

I use this for the isort in browser demo: https://pycqa.github.io/isort/docs/quick_start/0.-try/ it was really awesome to be able to directly use a Python package without any wrangling or modification as

Articles like this: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20201026/COVID-19-now-like... make me think that's seriously unlikely. I mean unless, you are talking about one of the historical flu pandemics. Yes, this

The problem with examples like this is that simple FileIO operations are optimized across all languages. It would likely have similar speed in very naive unoptimized Python. Here is an example: Given `create_csv.py`: with open("out

Can confirm that I would be happy to collaborate on this project, it looks really cool!

Reminder that we officially live in a post Python 2.x world. I think at this point the correct answer to the awkwardness of threads is to use async.

It's funny you say this. I've always had a suspicision that every budding programmer I encounter studies forward looking things, and if a young person did study something ancient like COBOL, they'd probably have great job sec

Switched to poetry and couldn't be happier. From my experience, poetry wins hands down. It managed to replace flit, remove duplicate dependencies, and maintain stability across machines. All while using the standard pyproject.toml conf

What is that platform? Are you considering Go a platform, or something that was built with it (like Docker)? And what are the frameworks you consider to be the most advanced in decades?

Most of my complaints, I feel like are pretty well documented: No ability to do Generics, no ability to do operator overloading, no ability to make your own for each style loop objects, very manual and repetitive error handling. These are a

And yet it still feels like a language out of the 60s or 70s. To me, Go feels like the programming language equivalent of insisting that everyone communicate just by grunting because it's less complex to teach people just grunting than

What would you say are the biggest blockers to becoming realistic? I saw on the README they need tools in the Python ecosystem to start utilizing them, which I can help with starting with isort, beyond that I'd want to do whatever I c

Python is very healthy at the moment, and still growing! However, I think that makes it even more important as a community that we don't rest on our laurels and we fix the issues we do have. CPU concurrency is definitely one of those i

I hate the fact that you may be right, because I really don't like Go in many ways: - I hate it's module system and package eco-system story. - I don't like its syntax. - I don't like its error handling. - I'd much
