This week, the #Python Software Foundation rejected a $1.5MM NSF grant, due to a requirement that the PSF abandon diversity work. So I joined forces with Python folks (@offby1, @petrillic, @amethyst) and we're matching up to $12,000 of donations to the PSF. 🧵

This should be the easiest boycott ever and if you can’t even satisfy this baseline level of solidarity then you have no right to question why we are all now under the gun.

It is either very funny or very depressing that I’ve now been trained to seek a second source for online queries as innocuous as ‘when is my local coffee shop open til today’. I’ve been conditioned to not trust Google’s first answer. Great stuff.

sys._getframe should probably have a pure python default that uses an exception and tb_frame

010

Thomas Grainger @graingert.co.uk · 12/03/2025

But I think tb_frame is just as unmandated (and for practically the same reasons) so I think this compat function is indeed redundant

Thomas Grainger @graingert.co.uk · 12/03/2025

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure PyPy does have this function. Python 2 doesn't have `__traceback__` though

Like doing things without OOP/types/ABCs/discord/FastAPI or server sockets and just glue code around requests and keyboard etc?

A lot slower! try/except is zero cost when no exception is raised

suppress is slower and will unintentionally catch ExceptionGroups

asyncio.timeout being async is because of Yuri overriding me while it was being designed 🙈

Thomas Grainger @graingert.co.uk · 01/02/2025

Yep I saw that discussion and was very smh. But not too bad the async-ness lets me backport it all the way to 3.8

Open question for Python friends: What are your favorite and least favorite design choices for async APIs/endpoints? Curious to hear what you think makes async APIs delightful (or frustrating) to use!

7105

Thomas Grainger @graingert.co.uk · 01/02/2025

Favorite: anyio.create_memory_object_stream way better than Queue and warns if you forgot to close it anyio.Path ergonomic async file IO anyio.wait_readable even works on windows ProactorEventLoop! anyio to_interpreter.run_sync run in a subinterepreters pool and unused workers die when idle

000

Thomas Grainger @graingert.co.uk · 31/01/2025

Least favorite: edge cancellation asyncio.shield/asyncio.wait(_for) eager tasks asyncio.timeout needing async with, and always raising TimeoutError, anyio.move_on_after ftw APIs that take a Coroutine, should take an async function so you avoid unawaited warnings Exceptions in callbacks getting lost

Heartbroken and devastated to hear about Michael "voidspace" Foord's passing. I have so many cherished memories of our fun and always weird conversations — about Python, life, and everything in between — at conferences and IRC. You'll be deeply missed.
