One of the Cython upstream folks, David Woods, approached me at #EuroPython2024. "Hey, I don't need anything, I just wanted to introduce myself."
Everybody should do this, it feels great, thank you.

They apparently also decided to say the project is now MIT-licensed (nose was LGPL) and they fail to understand that's impossible. https://github.com/mdmintz/pynose/issues/16

Ah, the infamous assert called with which never asserted anything and fixing it makes the test fail. That's one of my favorites.

Spent the day with @npub1e6w…0e03 waiting for #Python 3.13b2. I found out it happened after 1 AM local time, scheduled a testing Feodra rebuild of everything and passed out around 2 AM.
Just woke up at 7 realizing test_gdb has failed due to some #Fedora-only patching in gdb and Copr (cc @npub1r8u…gfn5) happily builds "after" a failed build, so the builds were not with b2🤦‍♂️

The bird poo on my laptop keyboard yesterday morning was definitively a sign of good fortune 😀

It has been ~3 years since @npub16d3…4r20 proposed the "Python Packaging Guidelines overhaul" in Fedora.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PythonPackagingGuidelines202x
I've noticed today that the number of #Fedora #Python packages using the RPM macros from the new guidelines is higher than that of the old ones:
$ rg %py3_build -l | wc -l
1672
$ rg %pyproject_wheel -l | wc -l
1852

#Python 3.13 in #Fedora is now built with -03, which seems faster.
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f41-change-proposal-python-built-with-gcc-03-self-contained/112743/13
It also has the python3.13-freethreading subpackage with disabled GIL (parallelly installable).
https://peps.python.org/pep-0703/
I'm working on building the experimental JIT (enabled on runtime via PYTHON_JIT=1).
https://peps.python.org/pep-0744/
Python 3.13 is now future-complete and I encourage you to test your projects with it. It will be the default Python in Fedora 41.

I wonder why is the deadsnakes build called nogil and not freethreading 🤔 We wanted to call it nogil at first as well but were told not to, so now we have 2 different names for it.
