Michael #1: Distributed sqlite follow up: Turso and Litestream

Michael Booth:

Turso marries the familiarity and simplicity of SQLite with modern, scalable, and distributed features.

Seems to me that Turso is to SQLite what MotherDuck is to DuckDB.

Mike Fiedler

Continue to use the SQLite you love and care about (even the one inside Python runtime) and launch a daemon that watches the db for changes and replicates changes to an S3-type object store.

Deeper dive: Litestream: Revamped

Brian #2: PEP 792 – Project status markers in the simple index

Currently 3 status markers for packages

Trove Classifier status

Indices can be yanked

PyPI projects - admins can quarantine a project, owners can archive a project

Proposal is to have something that can have only one state

deprecated

This has been Approved, but not Implemented yet.

Brian #3: Run coverage on tests

Hugo van Kemenade

And apparently, run Ruff with at least F811 turned on

Helps with copy/paste/modify mistakes, but also subtler bugs like consumed generators being reused.

Michael #4: docker2exe: Convert a Docker image to an executable

This tool can be used to convert a Docker image to an executable that you can send to your friends.

Build with a simple command: $ docker2exe --name alpine --image alpine:3.9

Requires docker on the client device

Probably doesn’t map volumes/ports/etc, though could potentially be exposed in the dockerfile.

Brian:

Back catalog of Test & Code is now on YouTube under @TestAndCodePodcast

So far 106 of 234 episodes are up. The rest are going up according to daily limits.

Ordering is rather chaotic, according to upload time, not release ordering.

There will be a new episode this week

pytest-django with Adam Johnson

Joke: If programmers were doctors
