A year of contributions on my private #forgejo instance. 12 repositories running on a raspberry pi 3. Definitely one of my favourite bits of tech right now.

Would love to read more like this if any #DataEngineering or #DataScience folks have more / similar articles please share 🙏

TIL typing.Callable and typing.Iterator are deprecated in Python.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Callable

https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Iterator

Go straight to the well with collections.abc.Callable and Iterator. 🧠

Does anyone know of a tab completion widget for Textual?

There’s a list of about 50 account names and I’d like to be able to have tab completion on the account field of the "new payee" dialog using that list.

I’ve already tried the Select built in widget, but it was too strict and inefficient, so I’m looking for something where I can type a couple of characters and then tab complete to the account name I want.

Still impressing me that when I want to quickly hack something in the shell, I can get uv to run iPython with any extra packages installed with a one liner...

uv tool run --with ftfy ipython

This time it was a mojibake issue and I needed FTFY: https://github.com/rspeer/python-ftfy/

Question for the #ansible hive mind: Is there a "uv tool" equivalent of the community general pipx module?

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/pipx_module.html

I’d like to be able to have a list of command line tools managed by "uv tool", triggered by ansible.

Oh and big shout out to interviewers that use this kind of knowledge-based question to clear out candidates that "don't know what they're talking about".

Ironic clap 👏

Bash - I've used it since 1998 and still can't remember stderr redirection "2>&1".

On the plus side, I can now remember how to do markdown links (which has taken me about 8 years to get into my head), so there's hope for me yet.

The issue of creating an interface for Python code to call uv is one of the most interesting features of this new tooling that I've run into so far: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/3190

Nice one @alex for getting this feature into uv so quickly https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/9557 👏 - and @charliermarsh for the quick review too 👌

Question for the #Ansible hive mind: "What's the current state of using Ansible with uv?"

I'm thinking about:

How can I get a Python interpreter on the host using uv?
How can I have the host's Python environment managed by uv?

I'd really like to avoid tainting the host's system Python environment with packages required by Ansible runbooks.

So far I've only found @alex 's uv package on Galaxy: https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/moreati/uv/

All pointers very welcome - otherwise my hacks will become a blog post!

After completing a complicated build with child[0], was checking the viability of sorting all our small #Lego plates by their number of surface knobs. These are our remaining "small plates" - plates with both dimensions between 2 and 5 knobs inclusive.

Am loving the Rpi Zero 2. So quick for a machine that’s less than £20 including postage and packaging 🥹
