Michael #1: terminal-tree

• An experimental filesystem navigator for the terminal, built with Textual


• Tested in macOS only at this point. Chances are very high it works on Linux. Slightly lower chance (but non-zero) that it works on Windows.
  
  
  
  • Can confirm it works on Linux
  
  

Brian #2: posting: The API client that lives in your terminal

• Also uses Textual


• From Darren Burns


• Interesting that the installation instructions recommends using uv:
  
  
  
  • uv tool install --python 3.12 posting
  
  


• Very cool. Great docs. Beautiful. keyboard centric, but also usable with a mouse.


• “Fly through your API workflow with an approachable yet powerful keyboard-centric interface. Run it locally or over SSH on remote machines and containers. Save your requests in a readable and version-control friendly format.”


• Able to save multiple environments


• Great colors


• Allows scripting to run Python code before and after requests to prepare headers, set variables, etc.

Michael #3: Extra, extra, extra

• spaCy course swag give-away, enter for free


• New essay: Opposite of Cloud Native is?


• News: We've moved to Hetzner


• New package: Introducing chameleon-flask package


• New release: Listmonk Python client


• TIOBE Update


• PEP 750 – Template Strings


• Canary email


• Left Omnivore, for Pocket, left Pocket for, …, landed on Instapaper
  
  
  
  • Supports direct import from Omnivore and Pocket
  
  
  • Though Hoarder is compelling
  
  


• Trying out Zen Browser
  
  
  
  • Wasn’t a fan of Arc (especially now) but the news turned me on to Zen
  
  

Brian #4: UV does everything or enough that I'm not sure what else it needs to do

• Jeff Triplett


• “UV feels like one of those old infomercials where it solves everything, which is where we have landed in the Python world.”


• “My favorite feature is that UV can now bootstrap a project to run on a machine that does not previously have Python installed, along with installing any packages your application might require.”


• Partial list (see Jeff’s post for his complete list)
  
  
  
  • uv pip install replaces pip install
  
  
  • uv venv replaces python -m venv
  
  
  • uv run, uv tool run, and uv tool install replaces pipx
  
  
  • uv build - Build your Python package for pypi
  
  
  • uv publish - Upload your Python package to pypi, replacing twine and flit publish
  
  

Extras

Brian:

• Coverage.py originally was just one file


• Trying out BlueSky brianokken.bsky.social
  
  
  
  • Not because of Taylor Swift, but nice.
  
  
  • There are a lot of Python people there.
