Brian #1: Open Source Pledge

• Learned about this because of this post
  • Why Django supports the Open Source Pledge
• Steps
  • Pay Open Source maintainers.
    • Min to participate is 2k/year/dev at your company
  • Self-report annually
    • Publish a blog post outlining your payments
• Armin’s post about launching Open Source Pledge and mixing money with open source

Michael #2: Jeff Triplet's DjangoTV

• A nice aggregation of lots of Django conference talks
• Filter by conference
• Good search as well

Brian #3: PEP 735 – Dependency Groups in pyproject.toml

• Author: Stephen Rosen, Sponsor: Brett Cannon, PEP-Delegate: Paul Moore
• Accepted. Resolotion Oct 10, 2024
• “This PEP specifies a mechanism for storing package requirements in pyproject.toml files such that they are not included in any built distribution of the project.”
• Allow us to define named groups of dependencies that can be independent of the main project.

• ex:

  [dependency-groups] test = ["pytest", "coverage"] docs = ["sphinx", "sphinx-rtd-theme"] typing = ["mypy", "types-requests"] typing-test = [{include-group = "typing"}, {include-group = "test"}, "useful-types"] 

• “might” work like this: pip install --dependency-groups=test,typing

  • but tool venders are able to define how they use groups. Of course.
• Similar solutions
  • multiple requirements.txt files: requirements_test.txt, requirements_docs.txt, etc.
    • no standard naming convention, not standardized
  • package extras:
    • not gauranteed to be statically defined (TIL)
    • additional to main dependencies, so not independent

Michael #4: livereload

• Example from talkpython.fm: asset_bundler_watcher.py
• The docs are sparse, so see the gist above

Joke:

• A programmer’s partner asks them: “Would you go get a loaf of bread from the store? And if they have eggs, get a dozen.”
• A while later, the programmer returns with 12 loaves of bread and says “They had eggs.”
