Though I will admit that there are also NO OTHER REASONS for putting lazy imports in a context manager. It's just the backwards compatibility use case and no others.

I think I should have used Cunningham's law instead of asking questions in this post: https://t.co/X6x0sGhuny

I suspect I would have gotten more people weighing in.

I further contend that other than `contextlib.suppress`, there is no other situation where lazy imports in a context manager could be dangerous.

While I’ve hosted lightning talks at #PyConUS before, I’ve finally given one today! Enforce documentation coverage with `interrogate`! It’s got a cute logo 😍🦥 https://t.co/vFnfck5cW9

Dear #pycon presenters. Here are my accessibility requests for next year. 1. No colorized code on black backgrounds. Blue or purple or gray is really hard to read. 2. Use large text please. I cannot read your regular terminal font. PLEASE.

Hey, do you know the @ThePSF is hiring for a full-time position called the Deputy CPython Developer in Residence?

It's a special role where you'd work with me and the rest of the core team on directly shaping the future of #Python.

Want to know more?

@moreati Which will be easier now that the CGPM has decided to eliminate leap seconds by 2035: https://t.co/UfjzQCu1ao

[Paul Ganssle @pganssle]

@moreati Even better would be for timekeeping authorities to remove the concept entirely, since it is a "solution" to a non-problem in civil time.

Would be cool if everyone dealing with datetimes got together and agreed to ignore any future leap seconds.

@AdamChainz @BajoranEngineer Like, they're better than a for loop in your test *without* subtests, but if you want parameterized tests you should use `pytest.mark.parametrize` or some equivalent thing. Your reasons to not use subtest are the reasons I'd give for not using subtests *for parameterization*.

[Paul Ganssle @pganssle]

@AdamChainz @BajoranEngineer I am not sure that there's as much difference in our positions as you think, if I understand correctly. As I mention in my article, I don't really see subtests as a method for test parameterization.

I tried looking for an labs at Harvard and MIT, but I am not seeing any researchers there doing work that seems like it would need research subjects.

[Paul Ganssle @pganssle]

@GregNuckols @EricTrexler Hey guys, I've been listening to your podcast for a while and I'm curious to know if you have any advice for someone interested in being in an exercise or diet study. I live in the Boston area so I feel like there should be many exercise depts. around.

A perfect illustration of why clinical trial registration needs an upgrade to a full #RegisteredReports model. @RegReports

There are some logistical challenges, but they are solvable. The alternative is this👇

Long shot, but anyone with Android / Android Auto experience know what's going on here?

Carter's has this shirt for kids, but I can't find an adult version anywhere. Trying to tell Amazon or a search engine that it's important that the shirt have all three colors (much less in a specific order) seems impossible.

[Paul Ganssle @pganssle]

One day I hope ML technology advances to the point that I can describe a shirt and find out if someone is selling something like it.

[Python Package Index @pypi]

PEP 658 has finally landed on PyPI!

Wheels uploaded as of about 15 minutes ago now have the appropriate information served from the simple APIs, and METADATA files available on https://t.co/hVzzMojVbA.

This is great

@Blanchard_NMR This is exactly why I cut all power cables open before using them.
