Michael #1: Leaving the cloud
- Also see Five values guiding our cloud exit
- We value independence above all else.
- We serve the internet.
- We spend our money wisely.
- We lead the way.
- We seek adventure.
- And We stand to save $7m over five years from our cloud exit
- Slice our new monster 192-thread Dell R7625s into isolated VMs
- Which added a combined 4,000 vCPUs with 7,680 GB of RAM and 384TB of NVMe storage to our server capacity
- They created Kamal — Deploy web apps anywhere
- A lot of these ideas have changed how I run the infrastructure at Talk Python and for Python Bytes.
Brian #2: PEP 723 - Inline script metadata
- Author: Ofek Lev
- This PEP specifies a metadata format that can be embedded in single-file Python scripts to assist launchers, IDEs and other external tools which may need to interact with such scripts.
- Example:
# /// script # requires-python = ">=3.11" # dependencies = [ # "requests<3", # "rich", # ] # /// import requests from rich.pretty import pprint resp = requests.get("https://peps.python.org/api/peps.json") data = resp.json() pprint([(k, v["title"]) for k, v in data.items()][:10])

- Now we have Android.
- Here’s a good YouTube video showing the build process for APKs.
