@lzsthw @lzsthw quiet day reading old newspapers. A blow torch? My Dude. I see you, I feel you but "melt the locktite" I'm dying.

Been the guy with sandpaper, never heard of "Gorgomyte cloth", bravo! It's a very good story, love a happy ending.

Do you have photos of the hole at work?

[Elena Williams @elequ]

@AdamChainz 🤔 "recommendations from friends" ... maybe you already have the good oil ... kindest regards either way.

Further I also need to kick my googs habit also and this "x" is good. More evidence on the pile though I'm painfully attached.

[Elena Williams @elequ]

@AdamChainz Ended up plonked next to some delightful individuals from Fastmail at PyConAU last, so if you need any needfuls just let us know and can forward appropriately.

@tveastman kk, had to find it, but you say "indefatiguable" I think of Richard Burton's grave shakespearean drop:

Honestly I thought it was in that amazing opening, but that's "slowly, surely, they drew their plans against us". So good.

@tveastman For me it's from killer 1978 War of the Worlds concept album from the Horsell Commons scene.

Dun-dun-duuuuhhh ....

So exciting, I'm still mind-blown and humbled 🤯

When I was learning Flask and wondering about the genius behind it, I didn't imagine this 😊

One thing is meeting your heroes... but another is sharing the stage, for an event around the little thing you made 🤩

[Elena Williams @elequ]

@pydanny Here in Oz, they're teaching Flask, there was a wonderful talk at PyConAU to this effect: https://t.co/Z8egpHY1a0

NB: WE MISS YOU GUYS :sparkle_hearts:

[Guido van Rossum @gvanrossum]

Yeah, so I helped the Excel team with this. Excited that it's out! https://t.co/zH1o2Fiaad

Learn how Python and FastAPI let Elena Williams and the team behind G-NAF, the monster-scale National Address File, get huge data to anyone who wants it fast, in "Learning FastAPI on hard-mode: getting out lots of the hardest (aw yeah, geo) data fast" https://t.co/ZKNHbx1Tnk

Need to work with timezones in #Python?

Don't use pytz! Use zoneinfo.

It's included in the standard library from Python 3.9 onward and pip install-able if you're on 3.8.

Big NOTE: If your code needs to run on Windows, you'll also need to pip install tzdata too!

[FastAPI @FastAPI]

IT'S HERE! 🍾🎉

FastAPI 0.100.0, final release 🚀

Official support for @pydantic v2 😎

Still supporting Pydantic v1 🤓

Is there a better way to celebrate 60k GitHub stars? ✨

Check out the release notes: https://t.co/nccy2aDrdB

[Sebastián Ramírez @tiangolo]

This is what adding support for @pydantic v2 in @FastAPI looks like. 🚀

...all while keeping compatibility with Pydantic v1. 😎

Of course, lots of those lines are tests. 🤓

Prepare the champagne. It's minutes/hours away. 🍾
