Michael #1: PyPI+

Very nice search and exploration tool for PyPI

Minor but annoying bug: content-types ≠ content_types on PyPI+ but they are in Python itself. Minimum Python version seems to be interpreted as max Python version.

See dependency graphs and more

Examples

content-types

jinja-partials

fastapi-chameleon

Brian #2: uv-ship - a CLI-tool for shipping with uv

“uv-ship is a lightweight companion to uv that removes the risky parts of cutting a release. It verifies the repo state, bumps your project metadata and optionally refreshes the changelog. It then commits, tags & pushes the result, while giving you the chance to review every step.”

Michael #3: How fast is 3.14?

by Miguel Grinberg

A big focus on threaded vs. non-threaded Python

Some times its faster, other times, it’s slower

Brian #4: air - a new web framework built with FastAPI, Starlette, and Pydantic.

An very new project in Alpha stage by Daniel & Audrey Felderoy, the “Two Scoops of Django” people.

Air Tags are an interesting thing.

Also Why? is amazing

“Don't use AIR”

“Every release could break your code! If you have to ask why you should use it, it's probably not for you.”

“If you want to use Air, you can. But we don't recommend it.”

“It'll likely infect you, your family, and your codebase with an evil web framework mind virus, , …”

Extras

Brian:

Python 3.15a1 is available

uv python install 3.15 already works

Python lazy imports you can use today - one of two blog posts I threatened to write recently

Testing against Python 3.14 - the other one

Free Threading has some trove classifiers

Michael:

Blog post about the book: Talk Python in Production book is out! In particular, the extras are interesting.

AI Usage TUI

Show me your ls

Helium Browser is interesting. But also has Python as a big role.

GitHub says Languages

Python 97.4% 👀

Shell 1.9%

Other 0.7%
