@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsBREAKING: #CPython 3.13.10 and 3.14.1 changed the multiprocessing message format in patch release. As a result, programs using multiprocessing may break randomly if they are running while #Python is upgraded (i.e. need restarting).
But apparently it's not a big deal, since all the cool kids are running Python in containers, and nobody is using Python for system tools anymore. Everything has been RIIR-ed and Python is only omnipresent in some backwaters like #Gentoo.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaOnce I pulled my head out of my ass this wasn't horrible. Part 1 was straightforward, decided to do some set stuff and managed to get it right the first time. Part 2 made my brain hurt a bit because all of the ideas that came to me were very, very slow and memory intensive. Then decided to scrap it and just do what the directions told me to do: count the paths...so I replaced the dumb with a dictionary which was so much better as an idea.
Solution:
@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsWorked on some more #Gentoo global #jobserver goodies today.
Firstly, Portage jobserver support patch: #PyTest jobs will also be counted towards total job count.
Again, it's not a perfect solution, but it works reasonably. The plugin still starts -n jobs as specified by the arguments, but it acquired job tokens prior to executing every test, therefore delaying actual testing until tokens are available. It doesn't seem to cause noticeable overhead either.

In Python, you can declare and initialize a field together:

foo: number = 5;

Fortunately, looks like #Gentoo can just ignore all the fancy crap and compile it with GCC.

@frankel@mastodon.top @mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsLet's get this straight: it is entirely normal for a #OpenSource project to accumulate bug reports over time. They're not a thing to be ashamed of.
On the contrary, if you see a nontrivial project with a very small number of bug reports, it usually means one of the following:
a. you've hit a malicious fake,
b. the project is very young and it doesn't have many users (so it's likely buggy),
c. the project is actively shoving issues under the carpet.
None of that is a good sign. You don't want to use that (except for b., if you're ready to be the beta tester).
