Brian #1: Possibility of a new website for Django
- Current Django site: djangoproject.com
- Adam Hill’s in progress redesign idea: django-homepage.adamghill.com
- Commentary in the Want to work on a homepage site redesign? discussion
Michael #2: aiosqlitepool
- 🛡️A resilient, high-performance asynchronous connection pool layer for SQLite, designed for efficient and scalable database operations.
- About 2x better than regular SQLite.
- Pairs with aiosqlite
aiosqlitepoolin three points:- Eliminates connection overhead: It avoids repeated database connection setup (syscalls, memory allocation) and teardown (syscalls, deallocation) by reusing long-lived connections.
- Faster queries via "hot" cache: Long-lived connections keep SQLite's in-memory page cache "hot." This serves frequently requested data directly from memory, speeding up repetitive queries and reducing I/O operations.
- Maximizes concurrent throughput: Allows your application to process significantly more database queries per second under heavy load.
Brian #3: deptry
- “deptry is a command line tool to check for issues with dependencies in a Python project, such as unused or missing dependencies. It supports projects using Poetry, pip, PDM, uv, and more generally any project supporting PEP 621 specification.”
- “Dependency issues are detected by scanning for imported modules within all Python files in a directory and its subdirectories, and comparing those to the dependencies listed in the project's requirements.”
Note if you use
project.optional-dependencies[project.optional-dependencies] plot = ["matplotlib"] test = ["pytest"]you have to set a config setting to get it to work right:
[tool.deptry] pep621_dev_dependency_groups = ["test", "docs"]
Michael #4: browsr
browsr🗂️ is a pleasant file explorer in your terminal. It's a command line TUI (text-based user interface) application that empowers you to browse the contents of local and remote filesystems with your keyboard or mouse.- You can quickly navigate through directories and peek at files whether they're hosted locally, in GitHub, over SSH, in AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage.
- View code files with syntax highlighting, format JSON files, render images, convert data files to navigable datatables, and more.
