@treyhunner The build tool should automatically produce binaries that run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Thank goodness for PyOxidizer. IMHO, making binaries should be a first-class feature.

@hynek @MtgyBY That was genuinely a fantastic summary 💡❄️

Don't follow people who look down on assistive technology. They sound like cavemen telling others spears cannot fix their real problem: not reaching far enough with their arms and nails.

Whether it's glasses or a debugger, telling people to just "look closer" is bad advice.

Python 3.11 is finally released. In the CPython release team, we have put a lot of effort into making 3.11 the best version of Python possible. Better tracebacks, faster Python, exception groups and except*, typing improvements and much more. Get it here:

@realpython I think so, and it could be "opt out" rather than "opt in".

@sadhlife @nedbat @realpython My impression is that this is *not* well known. Why not make it the default pip behavior?

TLDR:

- Docs in the same repo as the code
- Mechanisms for creating test data
- Rock solid database migrations
- Templates for new projects and components
- Automated code formatting
- Tested, automated process for new development environments
- Automated preview environments

A few software engineering practices which many teams will also consider "best practices."

What other useful engineering practices would you mention?

(Yes, getting back to working on @EngGuidebook!)

@anna__geller @PrefectIO Thanks so much @anna__geller . I'm still hoping to find a solution to this issue. I really appreciate any boost! 🤓🐍

@Martin_Heinz_ I've just played with xonsh (pipx install xonsh[full]) and found it absolutely fantastic! Why isn't it more popular? 🤓

I'm surprised https://t.co/iRMyTDGNWV doesn't have more stars. It's a really easy and handy way to replace expensive subprocess calls in unit testing. Started to write this sort of mock by hand (again) and then found this, a couple of readable lines and it works! :)

@brettsky @naivebayesian I always build my apps (I rarely build libraries) using pyproject.toml, because it's easier to me, and would love to see it included in any enhancement if possible 🙂🤞

[__b-long__ @__b_long__]

@brettsky I'll vote for pyproject.toml 🙂 Isn't requirements.txt a less-good option in a world where the standard library can parse TOML?

The mypy tool only does static type checking right... is there a way to run a Python test suite (using pytest for example) such that the type annotations are checked for every function and method call made while that test suite is running?
