How to get a package removed from #Gentoo?
1. Add a new #NIH dependency.
2. The dependency turns out to use coherent.build. Nightmare! Oh, wait, apparently coherent.build generates source distributions that use flit.core (understandable; coherent.build is unusable).
3. The dependency depends on chardet (the project famous for GPL copywashing). Okay, technically it works with the older version, and the dependency is optional with poor person's fallback, so I guess it would be fine.
4. But hey, this package is not used by anything, and the last package using it in Gentoo was removed in 2020, after not being touched for 4 years already. Also, that package is not maintained upstream since 2017, so I guess there's negligible risk of it ever coming back.

This is such an end of an era that fresh Python programmers can’t even fathom.
PyPy used to be our hope! No major Python conference that didn’t suggest that they’re gonna fix the GIL and make time go backwards. And yeah, it’s really fast! I suspect the money-backed focus on performance in CPython combined with the compat paper cuts PyPy always came with has sealed its fate. I‘ve watched its decline over the years so I’m not surprised, but damn.

Why does it feel like Python did everything in the world to not just use printf?

Proper #security nightmare time.
#LMDB is a database that's designed to operate on trusted input. Upstream has historically rejected all bug reports regarding problems with malformed input.
Py-LMDB project provides #Python bindings to LMDB that are normally built against bundled LMDB. Someone recently started mass-filing "untrusted input" vulnerabilities against py-lmdb, and py-lmdb started #slop - coding fixes to their bundled LMDB. Of course, nobody even bothered reporting most of these bugs upstream, and the one that I've seen reported was rejected as "don't do that".
Py-LMDB supports building against system LMDB, and #Gentoo was doing that so far. However, now we are facing a problem: system LMDB operates under the assumption that it is working on trusted input, while py-lmdb (and its bundled LMDB) operates under the assumption that it may be working with untrusted input. The guarantees no longer align.
If we continue to use system LMDB (and skip all the added slop tests that literally cause Python to crash), then Gentoo's py-lmdb package will now have different input expectations than upstream py-lmdb. And of course we can't just remove that crap because someone added exactly one package (TorchVision, i.e. part of the plagiarism machine suite) depending on it.

Python-Projekt mit Bahn-API: 4. Feintuning der Datenausgabe
So filterst du mit Python und der Bahn-API nur relevante Zugverspätungen ab jetzt – inklusive Namensauflösung der Bahnhöfe.

So, remember how all the cool kids dumped #Sphinx and went for the shiny #MkDocs thing? And then used the shiny Material for MkDocs theme?
Well, apparently MkDocs 1.x is dead, and MkDocs 2.0 is coming with no support for plugins, incompatible theming system, closed contribution model and unclear licensing.
So which hype train are the cool kids jumping to these days?
