On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Have you moved through the fundamentals of Python, and are you now considering building a more extensive project or complete application? Where can you study the architecture of existing Python projects and learn best practices? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects.

We discuss a set of resources that developers can study to learn how to structure projects. The collection was shared in a blog post titled “Great Resources a Beginner Might Not Find So Easily.” It includes a pair of books on the architecture of large software applications and another aimed at more modest projects.

We consider when you should use lambda expressions in your Python code. These one-line expressions create anonymous functions. How do they differ from standard functions, and where is it appropriate to use them?

We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a couple of release announcements, an explanation of Python as a compiled language, a discussion covering the controversy about the recent Flask release, a project for writing less Selenium code, and a project to create ASCII art with Python.

This week’s episode is brought to you by Site24x7.

Course Spotlight: Design and Guidance: Object-Oriented Programming in Python

In this video course, you’ll learn about the SOLID principles, which are five well-established standards for improving your object-oriented design in Python. By applying these principles, you can create object-oriented code that is more maintainable, extensible, scalable, and testable.

Python Thread Safety & Managing Projects With uv 34:48

منذ 6 أيام34:48

34:48

What are the ways you can manage multithreaded code in Python? What synchronization techniques are available within Python’s threading module? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. Christopher discusses his recent Real Python video course about thread safety. The course provides a quick overview of race conditions and how to use locks in your code. It then goes on to share a collection of additional synchronization primitives to make your code thread-safe. We dig into a tutorial by Leodanis Pozo Ramos about managing Python projects with uv. The tutorial shows you how to quickly initialize a project, build the directory structure, add dependencies, and publish your package while practicing the commands inside uv. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, unraveling t-strings, what’s new in pip 25.1, an SVG-first plotting library, and a data modeling tool built on top of Polars and Pydantic. Course Spotlight: Thread Safety in Python: Locks and Other Techniques In this video course, you’ll learn about the issues that can occur when your code is run in a multithreaded environment. Then you’ll explore the various synchronization primitives available in Python’s threading module, such as locks, which help you make your code safe. Topics: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:23 – PEP 773: A Python Installation Manager for Windows 00:03:09 – PEP 784: Adding Zstandard to the Standard Library 00:03:28 – Python Insider: Python 3.14.0 Beta 1 Is Here! 00:03:48 – Django Security Releases Issued: 5.2.1, 5.1.9 and 4.2.2 00:04:09 – ty: New Type Checker and Language Server by Astral 00:05:01 – pyrefly: A Fast Type Checker and IDE for Python 00:06:03 – The Future of Textualize 00:07:08 – Managing Python Projects With uv 00:12:20 – pre-commit: Install With uv 00:13:03 – Python’s New t-strings 00:16:38 – Unraveling t-strings 00:18:33 – Video Course Spotlight 00:19:50 – What’s New in Pip 25.1 00:24:30 – Thread Safety in Python: Locks and Other Techniques 00:28:40 – glyphx: SVG-first Plotting Library 00:31:20 – patito: A data modeling layer built on top of Polars and Pydantic 00:34:02 – Thanks and goodbye News: PEP 773: A Python Installation Manager for Windows (Accepted) PEP 784: Adding Zstandard to the Standard Library (Accepted) Python Insider: Python 3.14.0 Beta 1 Is Here!

Textualize the open source project will remain. Show Links: Managing Python Projects With uv – In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create and manage your Python projects using uv, an extremely fast Python package and project manager written in Rust. pre-commit : Install With uv – pre-commit is Adam’s favorite Git-integrated “run things on commit” tool. It acts as a kind of package manager, installing tools as necessary from their Git repositories. This post explains how to use it with uv . Python’s New t-strings – Using f-strings is a readable way of building output, but there are situations where they can’t be used because the contents need to be verified before being string-ified. The new t-strings, coming in 3.14, are a solution to this problem. Unraveling t-strings – PEP 750 introduced t-strings for Python 3.14. These are a template string mechanism similar to f-strings. Although they are in 3.14.0b1, there isn’t any documentation yet, so this post explains what they are how they can be used. What’s New in Pip 25.1 – pip 25.1 introduces support for Dependency Groups (PEP 735), resumable downloads, and an installation progress bar. Dependency resolution has also received a raft of bugfixes and improvements. Thread Safety in Python: Locks and Other Techniques – In this video course, you’ll learn about the issues that can occur when your code is run in a multithreaded environment. Then you’ll explore the various synchronization primitives available in Python’s threading module, such as locks, which help you make your code safe.

Going Beyond requirements.txt With pylock.toml and PEP 751 1:31:46

منذ 20 يومًا1:31:46

1:31:46

What is the best way to record the Python dependencies for the reproducibility of your projects? What advantages will lock files provide for those projects? This week on the show, we welcome back Python Core Developer Brett Cannon to discuss his journey to bring PEP 751 and the pylock.toml file format to the community. Brett has been working on a way to move beyond the requirements.txt file for over six years. He was on the show previously to discuss his work on PEP 665, which was rejected. He decided to continue to push forward, authoring PEP 751 last year, which was accepted at the end of March this year. The PEP calls for a new file format to record your project’s dependencies. The goal was to have a standardized immutable record for what should be installed to reproduce your project in a virtual environment. He discusses working with other packaging projects and the compromises involved in creating a standard. Course Spotlight: Using the Python subprocess Module In this video course, you’ll learn how to use Python’s subprocess module to run and control external programs from your scripts. You’ll start with launching basic processes and progress to interacting with them as they execute.

52:01

Are you looking for a fast database that can handle large datasets in Python? What’s the difference between a Python expression and a statement? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. We cover a Real Python article that explores DuckDB and discuss creating a database by reading data from multiple file formats. When building queries, DuckDB uses standard SQL syntax, or for an object-oriented approach, you can chain methods together using the Python API. We also explore the advantages of lazy evaluation using DuckDB relations. Christopher digs into another Real Python tutorial that covers the differences between expressions and statements in Python. The piece goes beyond definitions to answer questions about where and when to use them in your code. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, an investigation into the lack of security in MCP, a discussion on the differences between staff engineer and engineering manager roles, guidance on creating and modifying Word documents with Python, and a project to go beyond print for debugging your code. Check out realpython.com/workshops to join the upcoming cohort of the Intermediate Python Deep Dive course. Course Spotlight: Creating a Python Dice Roll Application In this step-by-step video course, you’ll build a dice-rolling simulator app with a minimal text-based user interface using Python.

How can you simplify the management of your Python projects with one file? What are the advantages of using LazyFrames in Polars? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. We share a recent Real Python tutorial by Ian Currie about managing projects with a pyproject.toml file. This file simplifies Python project configuration by unifying package setup, managing dependencies, and streamlining builds. Christopher continues his exploration of the Polars library by covering another Real Python tutorial about working with LazyFrames. He describes how LazyFrames don’t contain data but instead store a set of instructions known as a query plan. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, building a to-do app with Python and Kivy, working with DuckDB directly instead of using a DataFrame library, a discussion on fiction and nonfiction books about computer science, a terminal visual effects engine, and a full-stack platform for interactive data apps. Course Spotlight: Everyday Project Packaging With pyproject.toml In this Code Conversation video course, you’ll learn how to package your everyday projects with pyproject.toml .

Eric Matthes: Maybe Don't Start With Unit Tests 1:10:48

منذ 13 weeks1:10:48

1:10:48

Should you always start testing your code with unit tests? When does it make sense to look at integration or end-to-end testing as a first step instead? This week on the show, we speak with previous guest Eric Matthes about where to begin testing your code. Eric is the author of the popular book Python Crash Course . Early in the development of the book, he decided to introduce testing and added a chapter on testing code with pytest. Over the past couple of years, Eric has continued to consider when and where to test a project’s code. He thinks there are hazards to always starting with unit tests. The type of project and its audience should determine what kind of testing to employ initially. We discuss using pytest to develop integration tests on multiple types of projects. We also explore fixtures and what goes into building a test suite. Eric also shares criteria for when and where it makes sense to add unit tests to a project. Course Spotlight: Using Python’s assert to Debug and Test Your Code In this course, you’ll learn how to use Python’s assert statement to document, debug, and test code in development. You’ll learn how assertions might be disabled in production code, so you shouldn’t use them to validate data. You’ll also learn about a few common pitfalls of assertions in Python.

Are you looking for fast tools to lint your code and manage your projects? How is the Rust programming language being used to speed up Python tools? This week on the show, we speak with Charlie Marsh about his company, Astral, and their tools, uv and Ruff. Charlie started working on Ruff as a proof of concept, stating that Python tooling could be much faster. He had seen similar gains in JavaScript tools written in Rust. The project started as a speedy linter with a small ruleset. It’s grown to include code formatting and over 800 built-in linting rules. Last year, the team at Astral started working on a Python package and project manager written in Rust. As a single tool, uv can replace pip, pip-tools, pipx, poetry, pyenv, and more. We discuss how uv can install and manage versions of Python and run scripts without thinking about virtual environments or dependencies. Charlie talks about growing the team at Astral over the past couple of years. We also discuss the funding model Astral has adopted and sustaining open-source software. This episode is sponsored by Postman. Course Spotlight: Python Basics: Installing Packages With pip Python’s standard library includes a whole buffet of useful packages, but sometimes you need to reach for a third-party library.

What goes into creating automated tests for your Python code? Should you focus on testing the individual code sections or on how the entire system runs? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. We discuss a recent article from Semaphore about unit testing vs. integration testing. Christopher shares his experiences setting up automated tests for his own smaller projects. He also answers questions about building tests in an existing codebase and integrating tests across systems. We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, improving default line charts to journal-quality infographics, why hash(-1) == hash(-2) in Python, data cleaning in data science, ways to work with large files in Python, a lightweight CLI viewer for log files, and a tool for mocking the datetime module for testing. This episode is sponsored by Postman. Course Spotlight: Testing Your Code With pytest In this video course, you’ll learn how to take your testing to the next level with pytest.
