Everything old is new again: CPython is discussing official support for stackless/greenlets https://discuss.python.org/t/add-virtual-threads-to-python/91403

I figure @carlton might appreciate this if he hasn't seen it already.

@wagtail co-founder Tom Dyson has a sample repo for putting all the wagtail docs in a LLM chat session (with the docs in the context window) and say:

"using only the provided documentation, how do I do x in Wagtail?”

https://github.com/tomdyson/wagtail-prompt/

Mainly works with Google Gemini because the context window is large enough for all the docs.

You know how sometimes a little hobby side-project can get a bit out of hand? An unexpected performance regression on speed.python.org that only showed up on GCC 5 (and 7) led me to set up more rigorous tracking of Python performance when using different compilers. I'm still backfilling data but I think it's pretty awesome to see how much, and how consistently, free-threaded Python performance has improved since 3.13:

Django Admin Theme Roundup 2025 https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2025/apr/18/admin-theme-roundup/

i'm very excited about this new work my team at @trailofbits is doing: we're building an ASN.1 API for PyCA Cryptography, giving users direct access to the same memory-safe, high-performance DER parser that Cryptography already uses for X.509:

Generic expert Python programming advice: "Or, you could just not do any of that."

OK, that surprised me, I did not expect that outcome. I assumed all() for an empty list would return False? And it explains why my code was not doing what I wanted xD

You're busy. And you may think awards like the CMS Critic Awards are dumb. But they CAN be a way for us to reach new people who don't know about Wagtail. So, if you think we're the best, please help us show others we're the best. Please vote.

Proposal for a Django project template

The author's take on what could be a project template for Django advanced usage, with modern tooling (for Python and UI dependencies, as well as configuration/environment management), but not too opinionated.

We've moved to Hetzner (from Digital Ocean) for our hosting. Tests so far show faster bandwidth and CPUs at a fraction of the cost. Details below (#python, cc @mkennedy):

Hey all!
I am once again looking for jobs in Germany.

I have 5+ yrs of professional experience in developing backend python, even more years as hobby.

I know how to work with the infra bits too, and have embedded and networking experience on the side! I know a bit of rust.

I live in Hamburg and I'm willing to accept a job with office presence, but 100% remote is preferred.

I'd appreciate if people could send any interesting job possibilities they see in my way.

For visa reasons I must be employed as a full time tech worker, in an English workplace, paying 45k+EUR/yr but I do not need sponsorship. I can speak acceptable German (A2-B1).

Reposts welcome!

PEP 761 has been accepted by the Steering Council, CPython 3.14 and onwards won't provide PGP signatures:

This is a win for Python release managers who volunteer their time for the #Python community for 7+ years. Thanks to all past and current release managers 💜
