Very excited to announce the release of my first solo book:

Talk Python in Production: A Cloud-Agnostic Guide to Building, Scaling, and Managing Your Own #Python Infrastructure

[Talk Python Podcast @TalkPython]

Just shipped a big update to the Talk Python Training app! Rebuilt on the latest Flutter, iPad & Android tablet support, way better offline handling, smoother video playback, and a pile of fixes. If you've got courses, take them on the go.

Grab it: https://t.co/JRLRIwuVnN

@JamieSc29767813 Thanks Jamie! I tried it and it did take a major feature from plan to completion with something like 2hrs of work. Pretty impressive.

I'm still on the fence as I feel less engaged with it working independently the entire time. :)

@BenjaminMuses @sixfeetup @calvinhp @pythonbytes Brian decided to retire/step back from the show to work on other projects.

Introducing the new Talk Python web player.

It starts out minimal, but once you trigger it, you can change the playback speed, it remembers your position, and , it shows the transcript live below the player so you don’t miss a word.

Fun episode with @IronicBadger and host @mkennedy talking Self hosting for Python devs and data scientists.

https://t.co/q9BZolB6e0

[Michael Kennedy @mkennedy]

@tymofii Thanks. The orgs Glasswing mentioned didn't include any runtimes (python, node, etc). The core devs didn't have any news to share either. It looks like no at this time.

[Michael Kennedy @mkennedy]

Does any one know whether Claude Mythos was shared with the CPython team to check for issues before its impending release? How about with web framework teams like FastAPI, Flask, Pydantic, etc? Web server projects like nginx?

[Michael Kennedy @mkennedy]

Any recommendations on who to invite for a "self-hosted apps" topic on @talkpython?

They don't need to be the creator of a self hosted app necessarily, but Python-leaning and experienced in self-hosting web apps is the key. (You can invite yourself).

New essay: Cutting Python Web App Memory Over 31%

I reduced Python web app memory by 3.2 GB using async workers, import isolation, the Raw+DC database pattern, and disk caching. Detailed before and after numbers for each technique.
