#Python

I'm in the valley of despair in using mastodon.py - short of
...doing browser automation to do a login and get a token or
...switching to only doing code projects that use anonymous endpoints
...or writing an API wrapper just for login

#python #mastodon #mastodonpy

#mastodonapi
Did the 4.0 release break all the old API code?

In #python world, there are 3 main patterns

- mastodon.py(broken for me)
- minimal-activitypub (broken for me)
- toot (cli)

Toot appears to be active and in use and unlike the other 2, have an explicit "grant this app access to my data" step.

I just want an API lib that does this (or just works)

#isort to sort your imports
#pylint to yell at you for leaving in unused imports
pycln to remove the extras
black to fix the whitespace between imports

#pycharm then hides all of it in a collapsed region and you never see it.

#python

Is there a way to follow boolean combos of tags?

"#python #ide" nothing
"#python -#snake" doesn't work

folksonomy - the tag people think of 1st is the worst curated tag. The best curated tag is going to have lousy discoverability

#python - code + literal snakes
#pythonlang - code, but also people talking about tags, nearly 0 activity

ruff (a #python linter) is really fast but if you already worked your pylint issues & use black... ruff for my code had only 2 new rules.

http://bit.ly/3Xk0O4u

if a == b == 2:
print("this syntax is messin' with my mind")

#python

(What is the tag for python the computer language but not python snakes?)

Defaults for scalars? a few characters.
Defaults for lists? a factory method and a lambda

class Data:
thing: Optional[str] = None
ids: list[str]= dataclasses.field(default_factory=lambda: [])

#python

What #python console TUI/CUI are we using for new apps? Should `curses` based ones be avoided or preferred?

I did it! I finally accidentally named a private package that already existed on pypi and pip tried to install that instead. From now on, I'm adding prefixes to all my private package names.
#python

Dynamic programming gives you the power to program against `Union[type, str]` because that is just the sort of Heisenberg's uncertainty centaur everyone wants to work with. #python

#python thought... if I don't fake visibility keywords, dead code analyzers can't be expected to work.

Does #python have delegates? It has abstract base classes, where methods have to have a similar signature, but I don't see a corresponding "one function interface" thing.

(delegate is a C# "interface"-like thing for a single function)

#python Craziest thing... I update pip and it installs every pip since version 0.3 ... am I going to research this? nope, nuking it all from space, removing every python from the machine to reinstall from scratch.

#python every other time you reference a file, python says it can't find it, it searches for files relative to where python was executed. Having to do this for every open(), it seems like open() is brain-damaged:
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), file_name)

500 reputation points if you can solve this hard-ish #python problem. If you can solve it, poetry might be able to run `poetry shell` correctly on windows

new to me: You ever use `safety` to check if #python packages are malicious? New player on the scene: `jake`, made by sonatype, but they got a free version. As easy as `safety` to use. I can't tell if they're using the same vuln list or differnt.

Is there a way or tool to find which #python dependencies one has that have native code?

Build script is reporting http://setup.py doesn't exist like that is a bad thing, it should be rejoicing this state of affairs. #python

#datascience #python What is a classification model (pref random forest) that can create models where the model only requires pure python to run?

For example, sklearn requires numpy etc & a saved model is pickling the whole thing. I don't want to ship sklearn with my little app

#python units of reuse
- def, class
- modules (http://file.py, folder/__init_.py)
- package (pip installable thing)
- app (OS packaging tools, apt-get/yum/msi)
- data files? (json-like things)

What am I forgetting?

#python I'm going to try the http://setup.py, setup.cfg, http://MANIFEST.in free life-- rip them out of every project I meet, replace with poetry, pip, pipenv, etc.

I can't think of any downsides.

#python poetry. So if you use git-bash as your main shell, but have #wsl on your machine, poetry will only launch and install dependencies into wsl. Because wsl 1 & 2 have broken IO, it take a billion years. But it can still package, unlike setuptools.

Okay, I was trying to use the setup.cfg only technique for packaging. Instead, I'm going to try out having no setup.cfg and no http://setup.py at all. This is the motivation I needed to try out poetry. I hope it doesn't use the same broken crap in the background

#python

Only malice can explain how bad the UX is for setuptools, find_packages() & http://MANIFEST.in #Python

#python Trying to add StackOverflow links to source code comments and they don't fit in 80 chars.

#python Thinking about vendorizing & how it has a lot in common with creating virtual environments.

Everyone jokes about mindless copy-pasting StackOverflow but no one is formalizing it...until now!

`so_pip` will turn a #StackOverflow question into a #python module.

Alpha phase. Will be Beta by Monday.
