the problem with hating on javascript is that if you participate in it you're on the side of pythonistas who create incomprehensible architecture crimes because they have no taste so their comments about javascript based on taste are meaningless

Does your life need more Python? Come to PyCon Ireland 2026 in Dublin on Sat 21 Nov for a day of talks and workshops with hundreds of other Pythonistas.

Niall Murphy, instigator of the famous Site Reliability Engineering book, will be speaking on Reliable Machine Learning.

Had a v fun time speaking à PyCon France in Biarritz earlier today! Slides are linked below for any pythonistas francophones sur BSky (and, well, English speakers too, I wasn't brave enough to give this talk in French, lol).

I regret the python parts, I didn't even like it then and I didn't know the pythonistas could make it so much worse with the OO

The newest PSF Board is excited to continue monthly PSF Board Office Hours into 2027! We welcome you to join these sessions to share with us how we can help your community, express your perspectives, and provide feedback for the PSF 🐍📣 #Python
Mark Your Calendars! PSF Board Office Hours for the Year Ahead
Greetings, Pythonistas- thank you so much for supporting the work of the PSF and the Python community! The newest PSF Board has decided to continue investing in connecting with the global Python community by running the PSF Board Office Hour sessions on the PSF Discord into 2027. We began running these sessions in September 2024, and they have proven to be a great method for the community to connect with the board and vice versa. This venue has been invaluable to the PSF as we work on critical areas over the last year such as the PSF Strategic Plan, elections, and the recent PSF Grants Program Funding Round. The sessions have also provided the PSF Board and Staff the opportunity to hear what our community is up to and what challenges they are facing.

Mark Your Calendars! PSF Board Office Hours for the Year Ahead
Greetings, Pythonistas- thank you so much for supporting the work of the PSF and the Python community! The newest PSF Board has decided to continue investing in connecting with the global Python community by running the PSF Board Office Hour sessions on the PSF Discord into 2027. We began running these sessions in September 2024, and they have proven to be a great method for the community to connect with the board and vice versa. This venue has been invaluable to the PSF as we work on critical areas over the last year such as the PSF Strategic Plan, elections, and the recent PSF Grants Program Funding Round. The sessions have also provided the PSF Board and Staff the opportunity to hear what our community is up to and what challenges they are facing. ### What are the PSF Board Office Hours? During the PSF Board Office Hours, you can participate in a text-based live chat with PSF Board Directors. This is a chance to connect, share, and collaborate with the PSF Board and Staff to improve our community together. Occasionally, we will have dedicated topics such as PyCon US and the PSF Board Elections for the office hour sessions. Here is some of the work that we collaborate with staff and volunteers on: * Promotion and outreach for the Python programming language * Supporting local Python communities * Organizing PyCon US * Diversity and Inclusion in our community * Support handling Code of Conduct issues within our communities * Support regional Python communities via the PSF Grants Program * Furthering the mission of the PSF Unless we have a dedicated topic for a session, you are not limited to talking with us about the above topics, although the discussions should be focused on Python, the PSF, and our community. If you think there’s something we can help with or we should know, we welcome you to come and talk to us! ### Joining the office hours The office hour sessions will take place on the PSF Discord server in the #psf-board channel. If you are new to Discord, make sure to check out a tutorial on how you can download the app and sign up for free– then join us on the PSF Discord! To make the office hours more accessible, the office hours will be scheduled at alternating times, so no matter where you are based, you can find a time that is most convenient for you! Here is a list of the dates and times: * November 10th, 2 pm UTC * December 8th, 9 pm UTC * January 12th, 2 pm UTC * February 10th, 9 pm UTC * March 9th, 1 pm UTC * April 13th, 9 pm UTC * May 11th, 1 pm UTC * June 8th, 9 pm UTC * July 13th, 1 pm UTC * August 10th, 9 pm UTC * September 8th, 1 pm UTC * October 12th, 9 pm UTC Each session lasts for an hour. Sessions after October 2027 will be announced in the future. ### Who will be at the office hours? Some board members of the PSF will be attending each office hour, as well as members of the PSF Staff. The list of the PSF Board Directors can be found on our website. We are passionate Python community members who are excited to listen, help, and provide support to you. We are happy to follow up with you if there are any issues we cannot address immediately during the office hour sessions. As always, you can email us at psf-board@python.org with inquiries, feedback, or comments any time.

who called them pythonistas instead of dict fetishists
October 20, 2026 at 4:24 AM
As an occasional bayesian, I've been a fan of bambi for a while now, because Pythonistas deserve brms too.
Anyway, I just merged a PR there, and while I'm yet to update my posterior of P(bayesian impostor), I am still quite proud to be able to contribute new capabilities to this already great tool.

Seeing Joshua going at it with all the Pythonistas in the comments section of the Python vs. R debate post, I feel like he would HATE working with me lol. I've never seen someone love R so much while hating Python so much at the same time to the point it makes them angry... 🍿🍿🍿

Speaking of purity and activist spaces, the biggest threat to gittip after the crisis got mired in Rubyists refusing to write code unless it was Ruby, and the Pythonistas refusing to write python code, then everybody agreed on Haskell as a compromise and then everybody complained instead of coding.

I'm looking forward to seeing lots of Pythonistas from Ireland and elsewhere next month at PyCon Ireland in Dublin.
Get ready for PyCon Ireland 2026, coming to Dublin on Saturday, 21 November! Experience three insightful talk tracks, two engaging workshop tracks, and the ever-popular "hallway track."

Anyone have an in with the #npm team? I published github.com/bwthomas/vicary & while the #rubyists & #pythonistas can type `vicary` for cheaper, faster, & better anonymization than #bedrock guardrails, for #JS folk it's `@bwthomas/vicary` or nothing cuz, "vicary" ~ "vary" 🤷🤦‍♂️

Overkill for a single script.
But all needed for shipping / sharing an app.

I'm building a free, self-paced 6-week course to help Pythonistas learn all this and more.

We do that by building a command line app from scratch using these tools + workflows.

More Rust goodness today 🦀 😄

Here is something weird for Pythonistas coming to Rust:

```rust
use std::io::Read;

let mut file = File::open("data.txt")?;
let mut contents = String::new();
file.read_to_string(&mut contents)?;
```

We import `Read` but it's not being used anywhere?

Hi all Pythonistas! 👋 EuroPython 2026 took over the ICE Congress Centre in Kraków from 13 - 19 July and it wouldn’t have been possible without all of our attendees, speakers, volunteers, and sponsors. You allowed us to showcase the Python community at its best once again, and the conference truly
