#258 Python built us an anime dog!

Watch the live stream: Watch on YouTube About the show Sponsored by Shortcut - Get started at shortcut.com/pythonbytes Special guest: Karen Dalton Brian #1: stale : github bot to “Close Stale Issues and PRs” Was one response to a question by Will McGugan Something like “An issue filed on an open source project, I’ve asked a followup question about the issue, and filer doesn’t respond. Is there an easy way to close the issue after a set time period of inactivity.” Just trying to get a reference to Will out of the way early in the episode. stale does this: Warns and then closes issues and PRs that have had no activity for a specified amount of time. The configuration must be on the default branch and the default values will: Add a label "Stale" on issues and pull requests after 60 days of inactivity and comment on them Close the stale issues and pull requests after 7 days of inactivity If an update/comment occur on stale issues or pull requests, the stale label will be removed and the timer will restart If defaults seem too short or harsh, everything is configurable Michael #2: jut - JUpyter notebook Terminal viewer via kidpixo The command line tool view the IPython/Jupyter notebook in the terminal. Even works against remote ipynb files (via http) Karen #3: JupyterLyte via Marcel Milcent @MarcelMilcent JupyterLite is a JupyterLab distribution that runs entirely in the browser and is interactive Built from using JupyterLab components and extensions Being developed by core Jupyter developers, but the project is still unofficial Example: https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_static/lab/index.html Offers JupyterLab or RetroLab (a.k.a JupyterLab Classic) look No application server required, cacheable Try "import this"! Brian #4: Feature comparison of ack, ag, git-grep, GNU grep and ripgrep ack now, supplies are limited! Tangent for those unfamiliar with grep grep is an essential tool for many developers that prints lines that match a pattern grep foo *.py - list all lines containing “foo” in this directory grep -l foo **/*.py | grep -v venv **``*/**``.py Recursively find all Python files this directory and all subdirectories -l Print just the name of the file if it contains a “foo” in it. | grep -v venv Exclude virtual environments, because there’s a lot of “foo” in there. (There’s gotta be a better way to do this, someone suggest a better way, please). Article compares ack, ag “The silver Searcher”, git-grep, grep, and rg “ripgrep” Language, Licence, and regex versions Features like parallelism, config, etc. Fine grain feature comparisons searching capability regular expression style search output file presentation file finding inclusion, exclusion file type specification random other features This is on the ack website, and kinda makes my want to try ripgrep. Michael #5: Python Client for Airtable: pyairtable by Gui Talarico What is Airtable? Hmm kind of like: Excel Trello boards CI Pipelines A big player on nocode/lowcode community Check out the quickstart to see how it works. Karen #6: Black can now format notebooks via Marco Gorelli gh: MarcoGorelli (creator of nbQA [isort, pyupgrade, mypy, pylint, flake8, and more on Jupyter Notebooks]) pip install black[jupyter] black mynotebook.ipynb “…it should be significantly more robust than the current third-party tools” Extras Michael Trying a new password manager (sorta): Bitwarden The PSF is looking for an Executive Director Want a person in anime form?
