#31 You should have a change log
Python Bytes - Podcast tekijän mukaan Michael Kennedy and Brian Okken - Maanantaisin
Kategoriat:
Brian #1: TinyMongo
- Like MongoDB, but built on top of TinyDB.
- Even runs on a Raspberry Pi, according to Stephen
Michael #2: A dead simple Python data validation library
validus.isemail('[email protected]')- Validation functions include:
- isrgbcolor()
- isphone()
- isisbn()
- isipv4()
- isint()
- isfloat()
- isslug()
- isuuid()
- Requires Python 3.3+
Brian #3: PuDB
- In episode 29, https://pythonbytes.fm/29, I talked about launching pdb from pytest failures.
- @kidpixo pointed out that PuDB was a better debugger and can also be launched from pytest failures.
- Starting pudb from pytest failed tests (from docs):
pytest --pdbcls pudb.debugger:Debugger --pdb --capture=no - Using pytest-pudb plugin to do the same:
pytest --pudb
Michael #4: Analyzing Django requirement files on GitHub
- From the pyup.io guys
- Django is the most popular Python web framework.
- It is now almost 12 years old and is used on all kinds of different projects.
- Django developers pin their requirements (64%): Pinned or freezed requirements (Django==1.8.12) make builds predictable and deterministic.
- Django 1.8 is the most popular major release (24%)
- A bit worrisome are the 1.9 (14%), 1.7 (13%) and 1.6 (13%) releases on the second, third and fourth place. All of them are no longer receiving security updates, 1.7 and 1.6 went EOL over 2 years ago.
- Yikes: Only 2% of all Django projects are on a secure release
- Among all projects, more than 60% use a Django release with one or more known security vulnerabilities. Only 2% are using a secure Django release.
- On the remaining part of more than 30% it's unclear what exactly is going to be installed. That's because the Django release is either unpinned or has a range.
Brian #5: Changelogs
Michael #6: Understanding Asynchronous Programming in Python
- by Doug Farrell via Dan Bader’s site
- A synchronous program is what most of us started out writing, and can be thought of as performing one execution step at a time, one after another.
- Example: A web server
- Could be synchronous
- Could be fully optimized but
- You’re at best still waiting on network IO back to all the web clients
- The Real World is Asynchronous: Kids are a long running task with high priority, superseding any other task we might be doing, like the checkbook or laundry.
- Example 1: Synchronous Programming (using queuing)
- Example 2: Simple Cooperative Concurrency (using generators)
- Example 3: Cooperative Concurrency With Blocking Calls (same, but with slow operations)
- Example 4: Cooperative Concurrency With Non-Blocking Calls (gevent)
- Example 5: Synchronous (Blocking) HTTP Downloads
- Example 6: Asynchronous (Non-Blocking) HTTP Downloads With gevent
- Example 7: Asynchronous (Non-Blocking) HTTP Downloads With Twisted
- Example 8: Asynchronous (Non-Blocking) HTTP Downloads With Twisted Callbacks
Errata/Giving Credit:
- Also in episode 29, https://pythonbytes.fm/29, I talked about pipcache as an alias for pip download. I think I said the author of a blog post contacted me. It wasn’t him. It was @kidpixo. Sorry kidpixo, keep the ideas coming.
For fun: Python Private Methods
Our news
- Beta 3 of Python Testing with pytest should come out this week with Chapter 7: Using pytest with other tools, which includes using it with pdb, coverage.py, mock, tox, and Jenkins.
- Next beta will be the appendices, including a clean up and rewrite of pip and venv appendices, plus a plugin sampler pack, and a tutorial on packaging.
- Thanks to everyone who has submitted Errata.
- Finished recording RESTful and HTTP Services in Pyramid AND MongoDB for Python Developers. Add your email address at https://training.talkpython.fm to get notified upon release of each.
