Michael #1: Fixit 2: Meta’s next-generation auto-fixing linter

• via Bart Kappenburg
• Fixit is dead! Long live Fixit 2 – the latest version of our open-source auto-fixing linter.
• Fixit provides a highly configurable linting framework with support for auto-fixes, custom “local” lint rules, and hierarchical configuration, built on LibCST.
• Fixit 2 is available today on PyPI.
• Created by Meta’s Python Language Foundation team — a hybrid team of both PEs and traditional SWEs — helps own and maintain the infrastructure and tooling for Python.
• Interesting comments on this article on Hacker News
• I wonder if ruff format was already a thing when Fixit was adopted, whether it would exist?

Brian #2: FastUI

• Samuel Colvin
• “FastUI is a new way to build web application user interfaces defined by declarative Python code.”
• MK: Reminds me of the code matches DOM style of Flutter. See code samples at the end.

Michael #3: Mail list / newsletter conversation

• I’ve been tired of Mailchimp for a long time
• Raising the prices month over month by $100 several months may be the straw
• But what are the options? Lets ask Mastodon:
  • emailoctopus.com
  • listmonk.app [self hosted, open source]
  • keila.io [self/saas, open source]
  • mailyherald.org [self hosted, open source]
  • sendportal.io [self hosted, open source]
  • brevo.com
  • buttondown.email [django]
  • zoho.com/campaigns/
  • sendy.co [use your own bulk emailer (e.g. sendgrid or aws ses)
  • convertkit.com
  • mautic.org [open source]
  • constantcontact.com
  • getresponse.com
  • convertkit.com

Brian #4: CLIs from type hints

• From Sander76
• Pydantic Argparse “is a Python package built on top of pydantic which provides declarative typed argument parsing using pydantic models.”
  • Clipstick is a “cli-tool based on Pydantic models.”
  • tyro “is a tool for generating command-line interfaces and configuration objects in Python.”
    • tyro includes support for dataclasses and attrs in place of Pydantic

Extras

Brian:

• Django 5.0 has been released
• vim-keybindings-everywhere-the-ultimate-list - submitted by Paul Barry
• PythonTest (the podcast formerly known as Test & Code, to be read in an undertone similar to the way one used to say “The artist formerly known as Prince”) has moved form testandcode.com to podcast.pythontest.com
  • Plus more guests are listed now. I think I’ve gone backwards from current to episode 182. I tried to get my kid to help out, unsuccessfully. May have to hire someone to help. grrr.
