It's kind of crazy that both GPT and Claude really love to manipulate files by writing Python scripts that do text search-and-replace. First of all, why isn't this a dedicated tool? Second, the generated scripts usually don't check that the search-and-replace was successful. Are they just good enough at regurgitating text that they never make mistakes? What if the file was modified in the mean time?

Due to popular demand (it's me—I'm the demand), I've decided to cut pgbg in two and liberate the database-agnostic parts.
So if you want a self-healing way to run a background thread in Python with flexible wakeups, check it out!
The ideal outcome would be if someone wrote something like mysqlbg or so on top of it. :D

The state of #Python ecosystem right now: almost everything is slop. Some projects are complete vibe-coded slop (autobahn, chardet, cryptography). Some projects are disguised slop ("Coding agents shouldn't co-author themselves.")
There is only a handful of human projects left (Flask being one bright example). And they're being killed. They're being killed by the neverending slew of slop pull requests. They're being killed by all their dependencies becoming slop. They're being killed because this whole ecosystem has became such a complete cesspit that you have zero motivation to do anything.
EDIT: and honestly, this is only going to get worse. When you kill the incentive to work on projects, you only get more slop. Maintainers give in, and more projects become slop. Or they give up, and projects get forked unto slop.

Zero days since I regret filing a bug since it meant that some random asshole used life-destroying, nazi-supporting #slop machine to (checks notes) perform a two-line change that was precisely suggested in the bug report and add a test case that was also literally given on the bug. Well, at least they added a wall-of-slop explanation to the changes, so they wouldn't have to copy the one sentence explanation given on the bug.

I’m somewhat embarrassed to finally announce svcs 26.1.0 – my solution to #Python service location and dependency injection.
It’s been a minute, and the changelog is chuck-full, but the main features are autowiring, which looked like a simple add-on that grew to a four-digit monster diff, and of course, TypeForms that allow registering/getting abstract types!

#Python in a nutshell:
1. Let's use this new fancy #TOML thing for everything, it's so cool!
2. Everyone starts depending on third-party TOML libraries.
3. TOML library is finally added to the standard library, so people are moving to conditionally using it.
4. As old versions of Python become irrelevant, people are finally dropping fallbacks to the third-party library.
5. TOML 1.1 is introduced, and everyone has to start using a third-party library again… (at least until Python 3.15)
That's in case anyone is wondering why dev-python/tomli is suddenly getting installed on #Gentoo systems again.

Oh no, I've missed another anniversary of sphinxcontrib-websupport 2.0.0 being released broken. Well, the author merged a fix to the git repository since, but never made another release. Let's not forget it's an official #Sphinx package and a required dependency of Sphinx itself.

So now that #awscli 1.x is pretty much dead, I've finally gotten around to packaging 2.x properly for #Gentoo. You know, the one where other developers claimed it was impossible to build from source because (checks notes) upstream said so. So we instead must use their horrible 70M binary package that bundles its own Python interpreter along with all the random libraries and dependencies.
And guess what? Sure, they don't publish it to PyPI anymore, but it still is a regular #Python package branched out from 1.x. It has regular Python package dependencies, a regular Python build backend and when you build it with it, you get a regular Python wheel that can be installed and just works with the system Python and system dependencies.
Sure, it's crap, but it's no worse than the 1.x crap. It bundles a modified fork of the unreleased 2.x branch of botocore (now dead for 5 years, apparently) and a fork of s3transfer. It has some random meaningless dependency pins that we patch out. It has a horrible test suite that can eat tons of memory if run via xdist, but with some hackery, I've gotten it to work reasonably.
Honestly, I feel like Gentoo developers these days just don't care to even try.

Zero days since the #Python feedparser library switched to yet another #SGMLlib fork.
Yes, #Gentoo has only packaged the previous SGMLlib fork because of them.
