And the next big blocker for #Python 3.15 in #Gentoo is time-machine. Which is obviously broken. There's a patch but it's #slop and complex, and it's sitting for 3 months already with no reply. Because obviously patching CPython internals is so much a better idea than freezegun ever were. All these time-based tests need all the ricing you can get; portability doesn't matter.

DefoEye: Python-Based Software for Facilitating Time-Series InSAR Analysis of Sentinel-1 Remote-Sensing Data
Alireza Taheri Dehkordi, Hossein Hashemi, Amir Naghibi
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.04915 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.04915 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.04915
arXiv:2608.04915v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Many existing time-series Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (TS-InSAR) software tools have limitations, including restricted geographic applicability, commercial licensing, and incomplete end-to-end processing support. Although GMTSAR avoids some of these constraints, it still requires substantial manual intervention and C-shell commands, lacks a user-friendly graphical interface, and omits important steps such as interferogram network pruning and anchoring of unwrapped interferograms. This paper introduces DefoEye (v1), an open-source Python-based software package that wraps GMTSAR and provides a unified, user-friendly TS-InSAR workflow for Sentinel-1 data. DefoEye supports parallel job execution, interferogram network pruning, and multiple anchoring options. Its performance was evaluated from 2020 to 2024 in four regions with different geological settings, deformation mechanisms, and atmospheric and climatic conditions. In Bologna, Italy; Gotland, Sweden; and Houston, USA, DefoEye results were compared with observations from 10 GNSS stations and showed strong agreement, with RMSE values of 4.3-11.9 mm and Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.63-0.95. In Karaj, Iran, where GNSS observations were unavailable, DefoEye was compared with other widely used processing tools and achieved similarly close agreement, with an RMSE of 4.8 mm/yr and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.98. These results demonstrate that DefoEye provides reliable TS-InSAR products for geological, hydrological, and environmental applications.

Joint elastic full waveform inversion of multi-component geophone and distributed acoustic sensing data
Hoang Anh Nguyen, Ali Tura
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.01649 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.01649 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.01649
arXiv:2607.01649v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Joint full waveform inversion (FWI) of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) and ocean-bottom node (OBN) data typically requires converting measured strain to particle velocity, introducing numerical noise and spectral distortion. To eliminate this, we present an elastic multi-parameter FWI framework using a velocity-stress-strain (VSS) formulation that directly models pressure, particle velocity, and gauge-length-averaged DAS strain from a single forward simulation. Data residuals are injected additively into a single backward simulation, making computational cost independent of the active sensor subsets. We benchmark individual and combined datasets on cross-talk and elastic Marmousi models. Our results show that joint inversion recovers elastic parameters more accurately than single deployments when the sensors offer complementary information. Specifically, pairing two-component geophones with a deviated borehole DAS cable yields the most accurate parameter recovery and mitigates inter-parameter cross-talk by providing a distinct physical observable and complementary depth aperture. We release our implementation as xFWI, an open-source, Devito-based Python package for scalable, multi-deployment inversions.

Python in Berlin BBQ @ c-base, Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 7:00 PM | Meetup
Normally we announce our talks here, but this time we are taking a short summer break and therefore invite you to a barbecue at the Spree. The BBQ is for all Berlin Python

speaking of slophub, here's environ-config 26.1.0 (my #Python take on loading config from env variables and secrets from safe places) a minor modernization update. thanks so much to every single name in the thanking section and to github who made it possible:

Release 26.1.0 · hynek/environ-config
Highlights Mostly packaging, small bugs, and docs updates. Only heads-up is that the created classes are now using attrs's NG-style ones with subtly different defaults. Full changelog below! Specia...

Me after laboriously backporting #Python 3.15 fixes to #Django 6.0.x in #Gentoo: "oh, nice, the patchset applies cleanly to 5.2.x as well."
And today, I have to laboriously backport another patch to 6.0.x, and it turns out the backport doesn't apply cleanly to 5.2.x, so I have to laboriously backport it there as well.
I honestly *hate* Django Python version support policy. Shifting all the burden downstream.

Happy/nervous to announce argon2-cffi-bindings, the low-level C binding wheels used by argon2-cffi the best package for hashing passwords in #Python.
It's a big release with wheels for new platforms, but the biggest item is the liberation from setuptools with great help by Nathan Goldbaum & @…

Release 26.1.0 · hynek/argon2-cffi-bindings
Highlights Big and scary release! We've switched from setuptools to scikit-build-core and added wheels for pyemscripten and (provisionally) RISC-V. Full changelog below! Special Thanks This release...

I wish #mypy would slow down with adding new features to mypyc, and instead focused on fixing the train wreck that mypyc is right now (since 2023 at least). Like, if your code crashes hard with assertions enabled, then it's broken, period. Ignoring proper testing and shoving the issue under the carpet doesn't make it right.

Final preparations for tomorrow’s BBQ for all Python user groups in Berlin @…: https://www.meetup.com/python-users-berlin-pub/events/314905083

Zero days since I've discovered a random #CPython bug that triggers in very specific circumstances and I don't really have time to report it, nor can expect anyone to do it for me.
This time it's a test failure and refcounts being broken while running fastjsonschema's test suite on #Python 3.15 freethreading with pytest's --junit-xml option enabled 😱. And of course removing --junit-xml makes all tests pass.
EDIT: and of course I cannot reproduce outside Portage. Yet inside, it reliably crashes every single time.

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!

Release 26.1.0 · hynek/svcs
Highlights In the spirit of "we do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy" this release brings a great new feature: autowiring! It resolves depend...

Does anyone happen to know if #PSF is processing contributing membership applications? Mine is stuck with no reply for almost 2 months now, and I'm wondering if it's just normal delay or something went wrong.
#Python

0 days since provenance checks protected us from [checks notes] another project starting to upload distributions via #uv.

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.
