Recommendation: use uv export --format pylock.toml -o pylock.toml He also has How to install from a pylock.toml lockfile with pip but the short version is: use -r because tools treat it like a requirements file Michael #3: https://github.com/facebook/Lifeguard Lifeguard is a static analyzer to detect Lazy Imports incompatibilities and ease the adoption overhead for Lazy Imports in Python. I'm more excited about lazy imports after my Cutting Python Web App Memory Over 31% experience Some Python patterns depend on imports executing immediately. For example: Module-level side effects — a module that registers a handler or modifies global state at import time will behave differently if that import is deferred. The registry pattern — a module that registers itself (e.g., adding to a global dict) when imported will silently fail to register under Lazy Imports. sys.modules manipulation — code that reads or writes sys.modules assumes prior imports have already executed. Metaclasses and __init_subclass__ — class creation side effects may depend on imports being resolved. Project Stage: Beta Lifeguard is in active development. We are aiming to be ready for general use by the Python 3.15 final release. Brian #4: Choosing a Python Logging Library in 2026 Ayooluwa Isaiah " which libraries matter, how they compare, where they overlap with the standard module, and when each one makes sense.” The slant with this article is the need to log json output, which seems reasonable as things like API entry and exit point logging will include json. Covered libraries standard library logging with a hat tip to python-json-logger Same site has a guide to setting up python-json-logger structlog Loguru Logbook picologging Some benchmarks with structlog, stdlib+json, and Loguru, with structlog coming out faster I liked the Loguru example I'm going to have to try @logger.catch and logger.exception() for easily logging exceptions and serialize=True to enable JSON output.

Following a shot fired outside the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, President Trump spoke with Norah O'Donnell on 60 Minutes. He praised the quick response and professionalism of security teams, but fell apart when O'Donnell read excerpts from the suspect's reported manifesto. Trump assumed the claims of top officials being involved in heinous crimes against women and children involved himself and jumped right into denying it all. Authorities identified the suspect as 31‑year‑old Cole Tomas Allen, of California. During his alleged attack, a Secret Service agent was struck but protected by a vest. The suspect was taken into custody. From Trump‘s reaction on 60 Minutes to the growing sentiment that the attack appears staged, we will dig into it all.

In this episode, we talk with emergency physician and author, Dr. Ashely Alker about her new book, 99 Ways to Die and How to Avoid Them.
A few years ago, Trymaine Lee, though fit and only 38, nearly died of a heart attack. When his then five-year-old daughter, Nola, asked her daddy why, he realized that to answer her honestly, he had to confront what almost killed him—the weight of being a Black man in America; of bearing witness, as a journalist, to relentless Black death; and of a family history scarred by enslavement, lynching, the Great Migration, the also insidious racism of the North, and gun violence that stole the lives of two great-uncles, a grandfather, a stepbrother, and two cousins.In this powerful narrative, Lee weaves together three strands: the long and bloody history of African Americans and guns; his work as a chronicler of gun violence, tallying the costs and riches generated by both the legal and illegal gun industries; and his own life story. With unflinching honesty he takes readers on a journey, from almost being caught up in gun violence as a young man, to tracing the legacy of the Middle Passage in Ghana through his ancestors' footsteps, to confronting the challenges of representing his people in an overwhelmingly white and often hostile media world, and most importantly, to celebrating the enduring strength of his family and community.In A Thousand Ways to Die (St. Martin's Press, 2025) Lee answers Nola and all who seek a more just America. He shares the hard truths and complexities of the Black experience, but he also celebrates the beauty and resilience that is Nola's legacy. In this episode we discuss the work of Dana Tenille Weeks.

Join Pulitzer Prize winning writers Trymaine Lee and Nikole Hannah-Jones for a conversation about mortality, the weight of journalistic witness, and the enduring power of family in the face of violence — and Lee's new book, A Thousand Ways to Die: The True Cost of Violence on Black Life in America. A few years ago, Trymaine Lee, though fit and only 38, nearly died of a heart attack. When his then five-year-old daughter, Nola, asked her father why, he had to confront what almost killed him — the weight of being a Black man in America; of bearing witness, as a journalist and in his own family, to relentless racist violence. A Thousand Ways to Die confronts the long and bloody history of African Americans and guns; his work as a chronicler of gun violence; and his own life story— from almost being caught up in gun violence as a young man, to exploring the legacy of the Middle Passage in Ghana through his ancestors' footsteps. In a deeply personal conversation, join Lee with fellow journalist and historian Nikole Hannah-Jones as they unpack and examine the burden of witnessing violence and oppression on both a personal and systemic scale — a powerful evening of conversation about the true stakes of survival.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Trymaine Lee has spent his career chronicling the daily toll of violence and inequality. In his new book, he blends journalism with personal narrative to show how racism, trauma and violence cut lives short and carry on across generations. Geoff Bennett sat down with Lee to discuss "A Thousand Ways to Die: The True Cost of Violence on Black Life in America." PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders.
