Michael #1: Why I Still Use Python Virtual Environments in Docker
- by Hynek Schlawack
- I was going to cover Production-ready Docker Containers with uv but decided to take this diversion instead.
- Spend a lot of time thinking about the secondary effects of what you do.
- venvs are well known and well documented. Let’s use them.
Brian #2: Python Developer Survey Results
- “… official Python Developers Survey, conducted as a collaborative effort between the Python Software Foundation and JetBrains.”
- Python w/ Rust rising, but still only 7%
- ““The drop in HTML/CSS/JS might show that data science is increasing its share of Python.” - Paul Everitt
- 37% contribute to open source. Awesome.
- Favorite Resources: Podcasts
- Lots of familiar faces there. Awesome.
- Perhaps I shouldn’t have decided to move “Python Test” back to Test & Code
- Lots of familiar faces there. Awesome.
- Usage
- “Data analysis” down, but I think that’s because “data engineering” is added.
- Data, Web dev, ML, devops, academic,
- Testing is down
23%
- Python Versions
- Still some 2 out there
- Most folks on 3.10-3.12
- Install from: mostly python.org
- Frameworks
- web: Flask, Django, Requests, FastAPI …
- testing: pytest, unittest, mock, doctest, tox, hypothesis, nose (2% might be the Python 2 people)
- Data science
- 77% use pandas, 72% NumPy
- OS: Windows still at 55%
- Packaging:
- venv up to 55%
- I imaging uv will be on the list next year
- requirements.txt 63%, pyproject.toml 32%
- virtual env in containers? 47% say no
Michael #3: Anaconda Code add-in for Microsoft Excel
- Run their Python-powered projects in Excel locally with the Anaconda Code add-in
- Powered by PyScript, an Anaconda supported open source project that runs Python locally without install and setup
- Features
- Cells Run Independently
- Range to Multiple Types
- init.py file is static and cannot be edited, with Anaconda Code, users have the ability to access and edit imports and definitions, allowing you to write top-level functions and classes and reuse them wherever you need.
- A Customizable Environment
Brian #4: Disabling Scheduled Dependency Updates
- David Lord
- Interesting discussion of as they happen or batching of upsates to dependencies
- dependencies come in
- requirements files
- GH Actions in CI workflows
- pre-commit hooks
- David was seeing 60 PRs per month when set up on monthly updates (3 ecosystems * 20 projects)
- new tool for updating GH actions: gha-update, allows for local updating of GH dependencies
- New process
- Run pip-compile, gha-update, and pre-commit locally.
- Update a project’s dependencies when actively working on the project, not just whenever a dependency updates.
- Note that this works fine for dev dependencies, less so for security updates from run time dependencies. But for libraries, runtime dependencies are usually not pinned.
