Santa #Python came super early in 2026!
With build 1.4.0, it is now possible to easily dump effective package metadata!
So getting the version of a package in the current directory is now as easy as `pipx run build --metadata 2>/dev/null | jq -r .version`.
This is NOT like parsing pyproject.toml or whatever. It builds the package and looks at the result. So it works even with…

The rewrite of the Sisyphus server continues, I've got all of the GET endpoints and about 60% of all the endpoints finished overall. Some initial testing on the `/workers` and `/queue` endpoints show some worrying results from the old version and some great results from the new version. The `/workers` endpoint started throwing errors at about 800 RPS on the Python/Flask version (the old one), the rewrite is showing around 4800 RPS (Golang/Gin). The `/queue` endpoint doesn't show a…

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.

I did skim through a Python GTK Adwaita tutorial in the last few days. Besides stumbling over some deprecations here and there it worked really well so far. For some stuff I needed to look up other projects how they solved my current issues. It's interesting how more experienced developers structured their code to layout their applications' windows. And it's interesting that I begin to understand what's going on in the code.

So, decided to get them rookie `/queue` numbers up so did a quick bit of caching. For a 12-job queue, I went from 240 RPS (Python/Flask) to 680 (Golang/Gin) then to 3400 RPS with some proper caching. The `/workers` endpoint would benefit as well, but I think its performant enough though I may end up adding a bit of caching later.

Did you know that #PEP425 ("Compatibility Tags for Built Distributions") said:
> Why isn’t there a . in the Python version number?
>
> CPython has lasted 20 years without a 3-digit major release. This should continue for some time. Other implementations may use _ as a delimiter, since both - and . delimit the surrounding filename.
This didn't age well.

Fun case of circular logic in #Python #standards:

1. Use "globs" in the specification.
2. Decide that "glob" may be ambiguous, so add severe restrictions on what's supported.
3. Because of the severe restrictions, people may have reinvented the wheel instead of using system `glob` module.
4. Since people may have used their custom implementations, just relaxing the spec is a problem.

I was using the Python csv library for a script but decided I should dig into the pandas DataFrame stuff instead.
It was more complex, and it took me awhile to figure things out, and I had to read a bunch of web pages explaining things.
But in the end, I am 100% happy I did it that way.
I did not want to ask some AI/LLM for the answers, or to write the code for me.
Because for me, the struggle and the journey is part of creating something worthwhile.

And while we're releasing, here's a double-feature, mostly to avoid GitHub Actions complaining about deprecated actions:

#Python is just doing great. We're not having impossible constraints, as some projects need old #setuptools for pkg_resources, and other projects are starting to require newer setuptools for some fancy new features. And ofc after promising to release pkg_resources standalone over a month ago, setuptools upstream didn't deliver.
