Building on the web is like working with the perfect clay. It's malleable and can become almost anything. But too often, frameworks try to hide the web's best parts away from us. Today, we're looking at PyView, a project that brings the real-time power of Phoenix LiveView directly into the Python world. I'm joined by Larry Ogrodnek to dive into PyView.

Brian #1: Better Django management commands with django-click and django-typer Lacy Henschel Extend Django manage.py commands for your own project, for things like data operations API integrations complex data transformations development and debugging Extending is built into Django, but it looks easier, less code, and more fun with either django-click or django-typer, two projects supported through Django Commons Michael #2: PSF Lands a $1.5 million sponsorship from Anthropic Anthropic is partnering with the Python Software Foundation in a landmark funding commitment to support both security initiatives and the PSF's core work. The funds will enable new automated tools for proactively reviewing all packages uploaded to PyPI, moving beyond the current reactive-only review process. The PSF plans to build a new dataset of known malware for capability analysis The investment will sustain programs like the Developer in Residence initiative, community grants, and infrastructure like PyPI. Brian #3: How uv got so fast Andrew Nesbitt It's not just be cause “it's written in Rust”. Recent-ish standards, PEPs 518 (2016), 517 (2017), 621 (2020), and 658 (2022) made many uv design decisions possible And uv drops many backwards compatible decisions kept by pip. Dropping functionality speeds things up. “Speed comes from elimination. Every code path you don't have is a code path you don't wait for.” Some of what uv does could be implemented in pip. Some cannot. Andrew discusses different speedups, why they could be done in Python also, or why they cannot. I read this article out of interest. But it gives me lots of ideas for tools that could be written faster just with Python by making design and support decisions that eliminate whole workflows. Michael #4: PyView Web Framework PyView brings the Phoenix LiveView paradigm to Python Recently interviewed Larry on Talk Python Build dynamic, real-time web applications using server-rendered HTML Check out the examples. See the Maps demo for some real magic How does this possibly work? See the LiveView Lifecycle. Extras Brian: Upgrade Django, has a great discussion of how to upgrade version by version and why you might want to do that instead of just jumping ahead to the latest version. And also who might want to save time by leapfrogging Also has all the versions and dates of release and end of support. The Lean TDD book 1st draft is done. Now available through both pythontest and LeanPub I set it as 80% done because of future drafts planned. I'm working through a few submitted suggestions. Not much feedback, so the 2nd pass might be fast and mostly my own modifications. It's possible. I'm re-reading it myself and already am disappointed with page 1 of the introduction. I gotta make it pop more. I'll work on that. Trying to decide how many suggestions around using AI I should include. It's not mentioned in the book yet, but I think I need to incorporate some discussion around it.

Today on Talk Python, the creators behind FastAPI, Flask, Django, Quart, and Litestar get practical about running apps based on their framework in production. Deployment patterns, async gotchas, servers, scaling, and the stuff you only learn at 2 a.m. when the pager goes off. For Django, we have Carlton Gibson and Jeff Triplet. For Flask, we have David Lord and Phil Jones, and on team Litestar we have Janek Nouvertné and Cody Fincher, and finally Sebastián Ramírez from FastAPI is here. Let's jump in.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: ty: An extremely fast Python type checker and LSP Charlie Marsh announced the Beta release of ty on Dec 16 “designed as an alternative to tools like mypy, Pyright, and Pylance.” Extremely fast even from first run Successive runs are incremental, only rerunning necessary computations as a user edits a file or function. This allows live updates. Includes nice visual diagnostics much like color enhanced tracebacks Extensive configuration control Nice for if you want to gradually fix warnings from ty for a project Also released a nice VSCode (or Cursor) extension Check the docs. There are lots of features. Also a note about disabling the default language server (or disabling ty's language server) so you don't have 2 running Michael #2: Python Supply Chain Security Made Easy We know about supply chain security issues, but what can you do? Typosquatting (not great) Github/PyPI account take-overs (very bad) Enter pip-audit. Run it in two ways: Against your installed dependencies in current venv As a proper unit test (so when running pytest or CI/CD). Let others find out first, wait a week on all dependency updates: uv pip compile requirements.piptools --upgrade --output-file requirements.txt --exclude-newer "1 week" Follow up article: DevOps Python Supply Chain Security Create a dedicated Docker image for testing dependencies with pip-audit in isolation before installing them into your venv. Run pip-compile / uv lock --upgrade to generate the new lock file Test in a ephemeral pip-audit optimized Docker container Only then if things pass, uv pip install / uv sync Add a dedicated Docker image build step that fails the docker build step if a vulnerable package is found. Brian #3: typing_extensions Kind of a followup on the deprecation warning topic we were talking about in December. prioinv on Mastodon notified us that the project typing-extensions includes it as part of the backport set. The warnings.deprecated decorator is new to Python 3.13, but with typing-extensions, you can use it in previous versions. But typing_extesions is way cooler than just that. The module serves 2 purposes: Enable use of new type system features on older Python versions. Enable experimentation with type system features proposed in new PEPs before they are accepted and added to the typing module. So cool. There's a lot of features here. I'm hoping it allows someone to use the latest typing syntax across multiple Python versions. I'm “tentatively” excited. But I'm bracing for someone to tell me why it's not a silver bullet. Michael #4: MI6 chief: We'll be as fluent in Python as we are in Russian "Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum computing are not only revolutionizing economies but rewriting the reality of conflict, as they 'converge' to create science fiction-like tools,” said new MI6 chief Blaise Metreweli. She focused mainly on threats from Russia, the country is "testing us in the grey zone with tactics that are just below the threshold of war.” This demands what she called "mastery of technology" across the service, with officers required to become "as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages." Recruitment will target linguists, data scientists, engineers, and technologists alike.

Michael #1: Has the cost of building software just dropped 90%? by Martin Alderson Agentic coding tools are collapsing “implementation time,” so the cost curve of shipping software may be shifting sharply Recent programming advancements haven't been that great of a true benefit: Cloud, TDD, microservices, complex frontends, Kubernetes, etc. Agentic AI's big savings are not just code generation, but coordination overhead reduction (fewer handoffs, fewer meetings, fewer blocks). Thinking, product clarity, and domain decisions stay hard, while typing and scaffolding get cheap. Is it the end of software dev? Not really, see Jevons paradox: when production gets cheaper, total demand can rise rather than spending simply falling. (Historically: the efficiency of coal use led to the increased consumption of coal) Pushes back on “only good for greenfield” by arguing agents also help with legacy code comprehension and bug-fixing. I 100% agree. #Legacy code for the win. Brian #2: More on Deprecation Warnings How are people ignoring them? yep, it's right in the Python docs: -W ignore::DeprecationWarning Don't do that! Perhaps the docs should give the example of emitting them only once -W once::::DeprecationWarning See also -X dev mode , which sets -W default and some other runtime checks Don't use warn, use the @warnings.deprecated decorator instead Thanks John Hagen for pointing this out Emits a warning It's understood by type checkers, so editors visually warn you You can pass in your own custom UserWarning with category mypy also has a command line option and setting for this --enable-error-code deprecated or in [tool.mypy] enable_error_code = ["deprecated"] My recommendation Use @deprecated with your own custom warning and test with pytest -W error Michael #3: How FOSS Won and Why It Matters by Thomas Depierre Companies are not cheap, companies optimize cost control. They do this by making purchasing slow and painful. FOSS is/was a major unlock hack to skip procurement, legal, etc. Example is months to start using a paid “Add to calendar” widget! It “works both ways”: the same bypass lowers the barrier for maintainers too, no need for a legal entity, lawyers, liability insurance, or sales motion. Proposals that “fix FOSS” by reintroducing supply-chain style controls (he name-checks SBOMs and mandated processes) risk being rejected or gamed, because they restore the very friction FOSS sidesteps. Brian #4: Should I be looking for a GitHub alternative? Pricing changes for GitHub Actions The self-hosted runner pricing change caused a kerfuffle. It's has been postponed But… if you were to look around, maybe pay attention to These 4 GitHub alternatives are just as good—or better Codeburg, BitBucket, GitLab, Gitea And a new-ish entry, Tangled Extras Brian: End of year sale for The Complete pytest Course Use code XMAS2025 for 50% off before Dec 31 Writing work on Lean TDD book on hold for holidays Will pick up again in January Michael: PyCharm has better Ruff support now out of the box, via Daniel Molnar This is from the release notes of 2025.3: "PyCharm 2025.3 expands its LSP integration with support for Ruff, ty, Pyright, and Pyrefly.” If you check out the LSP section it will land you on this page and you can go to Ruff. The Ruff doc site was also updated. Previously it was only available external tools and a third party plugin, this feels like a big step.

For years, building interactive widgets in Python notebooks meant wrestling with toolchains, platform quirks, and a mountain of JavaScript machinery. Most developers took one look and backed away slowly. Trevor Manz decided that barrier did not need to exist. His idea was simple: give Python users just enough JavaScript to unlock the web's interactivity, without dragging along the rest of the web ecosystem. That idea became anywidget, and it is quickly becoming the quiet connective tissue of modern interactive computing. Today we dig into how it works, why it has taken off, and how it might change the way we explore data.

Michael #1: PEP 798: Unpacking in Comprehensions After careful deliberation, the Python Steering Council is pleased to accept PEP 798 – Unpacking in Comprehensions. Examples [*it for it in its] # list with the concatenation of iterables in 'its' {*it for it in its} # set with the union of iterables in 'its' {**d for d in dicts} # dict with the combination of dicts in 'dicts' (*it for it in its) # generator of the concatenation of iterables in 'its' Also: The Steering Council is happy to unanimously accept “PEP 810, Explicit lazy imports” Brian #2: Pandas 3.0.0rc0 Pandas 3.0.0 will be released soon, and we're on Release candidate 0 Here's What's new in Pands 3.0.0 Dedicated string data type by default Inferred by default for string data (instead of object dtype) The str dtype can only hold strings (or missing values), in contrast to object dtype. (setitem with non string fails) The missing value sentinel is always NaN (np.nan) and follows the same missing value semantics as the other default dtypes. Copy-on-Write The result of any indexing operation (subsetting a DataFrame or Series in any way, i.e. including accessing a DataFrame column as a Series) or any method returning a new DataFrame or Series, always behaves as if it were a copy in terms of user API. As a consequence, if you want to modify an object (DataFrame or Series), the only way to do this is to directly modify that object itself. pd.col syntax can now be used in DataFrame.assign() and DataFrame.loc() You can now do this: df.assign(c = pd.col('a') + pd.col('b')) New Deprecation Policy Plus more - Michael #3: typos You've heard about codespell … what about typos? VSCode extension and OpenVSX extension. From Sky Kasko: Like codespell, typos checks for known misspellings instead of only allowing words from a dictionary. But typos has some extra features I really appreciate, like finding spelling mistakes inside snake_case or camelCase words. For example, if you have the line: *connecton_string = "sqlite:///my.db"* codespell won't find the misspelling, but typos will. It gave me the output: *error: `connecton` should be `connection`, `connector` ╭▸ ./main.py:1:1 │1 │ connecton_string = "sqlite:///my.db" ╰╴━━━━━━━━━* But the main advantage for me is that typos has an LSP that supports editor integrations like a VS Code extension. As far as I can tell, codespell doesn't support editor integration. (Note that the popular Code Spell Checker VS Code extension is an unrelated project that uses a traditional dictionary approach.) For more on the differences between codespell and typos, here's a comparison table I found in the typos repo: https://github.com/crate-ci/typos/blob/master/docs/comparison.md By the way, though it's not mentioned in the installation instructions, typos is published on PyPI and can be installed with uv tool install typos, for example. That said, I don't bother installing it, I just use the VS Code extension and run it as a pre-commit hook. (By the way, I'm using prek instead of pre-commit now; thanks for the tip on episode #448!) It looks like typos also publishes a GitHub action, though I haven't used it. Brian #4: A couple testing topics slowlify suggested by Brian Skinn Simulate slow, overloaded, or resource-constrained machines to reproduce CI failures and hunt flaky tests. Requires Linux with cgroups v2 Why your mock breaks later Ned Badthelder Ned's taught us before to “Mock where the object is used, not where it's defined.” To be more explicit, but probably more confusing to mock-newbies, “don't mock things that get imported, mock the object in the file it got imported to.” See? That's probably worse. Anyway, read Ned's post. If my project myproduct has user.py that uses the system builtin open() and we want to patch it: DONT DO THIS: @patch("builtins.open") This patches open() for the whole system DO THIS: @patch("myproduct.user.open") This patches open() for just the user.py file, which is what we want Apparently this issue is common and is mucking up using coverage.py Extras Brian: The Rise and Rise of FastAPI - mini documentary “Building on Lean” chapter of LeanTDD is out The next chapter I'm working on is “Finding Waste in TDD” Notes to delete before end of show: I'm not on track for an end of year completion of the first pass, so pushing goal to 1/31/26 As requested by a reader, I'm releasing both the full-so-far versions and most-recent-chapter Michael: My Vanishing Gradient's episode is out Django 6 is out Joke: tabloid - A minimal programming language inspired by clickbait headlines

This API, centered around the email.message.EmailMessage class Brian #3: Advanced, Overlooked Python Typing get_args, TypeGuard, TypeIs, and more goodies Michael #4: codespell Learned from this PR for the Talk Python book. Fix common misspellings in text files. It's designed primarily for checking misspelled words in source code (backslash escapes are skipped), but it can be used with other files as well. It does not check for word membership in a complete dictionary, but instead looks for a set of common misspellings. Therefore it should catch errors like "adn", but it will not catch "adnasdfasdf". It shouldn't generate false-positives when you use a niche term it doesn't know about. Extras Brian: Is mkdocs maintained? Hatch 1.16 Michael: Follow up on tach from Gerben Dekker: tach has been unmaintained for a bit but is not anymore. It was the main product from Gauge which is a Y combinator startup that pivoted to something unrelated and abandoned tach. However, https://github.com/DetachHead forked it but now got access to the main repo and has committed to maintaining it. ruff analyze graph is fully independent of tach - we actually started to look into alternatives for tach when it became unmaintained and then found ruff analyze graph. For our use case, with just a bit of manipulation on top of ruff analyze graph we replaced our use of deptry (which was slower - and I try to be careful depending on one-man projects).
