ICYMI, there is a new blog for #Python ! 🥳
blog.python.org
Give it a follow in your #RSS reader of choice, I am hoping to see more exciting Python content beyond just release notes published there.
We released DuckDB v1.5!
This release comes with a “friendly CLI” client, a new (opt-in) PEG parser, support for VARIANT types and many lakehouse features. It also ships a new network stack, a reworked geospatial extension, Azure writes and an ODBC scanner.

I've seen a lot of people talking about the practice of code review in a way that I consider unrealistic lately. So here are my thoughts on what code review is—and isn't—for: https://blog.glyph.im/2026/03/what-is-code-review-for.html

free software folks: what design/org patterns are there for publishing community software to mainstream app stores these days?
eg, is there an umbrella org/institution that publishes free software apps to the app stores, on behalf of community projects?
could be an org like ASF.

Capítulo 24. Metaprogramação de classes
Todo mundo sabe que depurar um programa é duas vezes mais difícil que escrever o mesmo programa. Mas daí, se você der tudo de si ao escrever o programa, como vai conseguir depurá-lo?[117]

Depurar um programa que você não escreveu é ainda mais difícil.
Se você deixar a IA escrever um programa que você mal entende, como vai conseguir depurá-lo?
Let's try this again 👋
Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.
I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?
…yep, “star args”!
How do you read `*args` in a function signature?
PLEASE reply with how you'd read it, I'm trying to prove someone wrong 🤣
Reposts are appreciated :D

I am very happy to share that PEP 814 is accepted.
Huge kudos to @vstinner.bsky.social for driving this PEP from the start!

Why use OrderedDict if #Python dicts are now ordered?
Because equality checks order too:
d1 = {'a':10, 'b':20}
d2 = {'b':20, 'a':10}
d1 == d2 # True — dicts ignore order
od1 = OrderedDict(a=10, b=20)
od2 = OrderedDict(b=20, a=10)
od1 == od2 # False!

looks like it's time to run https://github.com/glyph/mopup again today (3.13.12, 3.14.3)

Hey all! Friendly reminder that it's almost time for the next Python Lisbon Meetup! 🐍
This Thursday, @setnomt.bsky.social will be giving his talk "BEEP". It should be a blast 🔊
See you on Feb 5 @ 19:00 at IST, Pavilhão de Matemática, room 3.10!
🎞️ The slide decks and talk recordings of last Friday's developer meeting are out! duckdb.org/events/2026/...

DuckDB 1.4.4 LTS is out:
duckdb.org/2026/01/26/a...
The last time we had a “.4” patch release was in 2022 for version 0.3.4. Of course, the project was at a very different stage then.
We hope that this release irons out most of the bugs that you encountered in v1.4. Let us know!
