Python@programming.dev•Doing language agnostic automated unit test generation with LLMs and contextually aware mutation testing to remove code vulnerabilities
1·1 year agoReported as spam. I tend to agree. Removing.
Hey Ulrik, apologies for not responding sooner.
I’m more than happy to talk about adding one (or more!) mods for any of the communities I mod for right now, including c/python. I have at least one person in mind, who has been pretty active both in c/python and c/django. I’d also like to talk more about mod expectations, particularly with regard to reported posts/comments.

Python@programming.dev•bruin-data/ingestr: ingestr is a CLI tool to copy data between any databases with a single command seamlessly.
6·2 years agoReading the docs and I’m a little disappointed to see that disabling telemetry is opt-in: https://bruin-data.github.io/ingestr/getting-started/telemetry.html#disabling-telemetry.

Python@programming.dev•Help trying to extract some data
3·2 years agoLooking at the docs, it looks like it’s an instance of
ID3Tags, which appears to be based on couple of helper classesmutagen._util.DictProxyandmutagen._tags.Tags, whereDictProxy(and its baseDictMixin) provides the dict-like interface. Underneath that, it looks like it’s storing the actual values in a simpledict(DictProxy.__dict) and proxying to that.I’m not seeing anything obvious that would muck with the incoming lookup key anywhere in
ID3TagsorDictProxy.__getitem__or any of the other base classes.I have to jump off to pack for a trip, but might try this out later in a live shell session to see if there’s something odd going on with the API.
In the meantime, OP, are you positive you were looking at the same file each time? Was this in a script or in a live Python shell session?

Python@programming.dev•time-machine: Travel through time in your tests.

This proved to be a fair amount of work, absent a bot of some sort that I haven’t had time to create yet.
So, I failed toward just including events in the sidebar, with a link to python.org’s Event Calendar.
Ha! Great catch. Yeah, I’ll get that sorted.
Also trying out Today in Python!. I accidentally launched the first one early, in that I posted about 20 June 2023 on 19 June 2023. Whoops.
Next experiment is Talk Tuesday where each top-level comment is about a particular conference talk that a commenter liked and why they like it.
Thought I would also keep track of things we experiment with here. The first is Media Mondays where we track podcast and video episode from the community over the last week.
