Is there a language that handles dependencies well?
Python's virtual environments are a bit awkward but everything mostly works, I haven't played with Java build tools much, Javascript is a trainwreck. I've been happy with Dart, but haven't gotten into the weeds much. Same with rust, cargo seems nice, but I haven't played with it enough to know the pitfalls yet.
#programming #dependencies #python #java #javascript #dart #flutter #rust #cargo #pip #npm #yarn
To prepare for a #DWP Work Capability Assessment a friend was given separately the same advice from a Job Centre workcoach and a #Restart worker:
"Tell them what you're like on your worst day"
How counterintuitive, how incongruent is being coached for success by being told to be yourself at your very worst?
#RDLaing and #DeleuzeAndGuattari understood that the origins of #mentalillness lie also in the double-binds that inhere in the family, as a microcosm of the society #Capitalism creates.
#PIP
IDEA: A #pip / #pipenv wrapper that reports back to you what it is going to install before it installs & reports the security rating/states/download counts, so you can decide if you really want to install it.
I think I just need to parse the output from
```python
--dry-run
```
and feed it into package info API calls.

How To Fix pipx: Fatal Error From pip Prevented Installation / No Module Named pip

@bbelderbos NOTE: on windows, do not install from store, as this does not have batteries included.
This install gets minimal packages, e.g. #pip, #setuptools, #venv, #wheel, and dependencies.
Then use desired python executable with a "-m venv .venv" in working dir, activate the virtual env, and use "-m pip install -U package-name".
This minimizes you chance of messing up the install, and gives you a safe place to install packages without messing with the main install. /2
If anyone is having issues with installing xmlsec package via pip on mac there is a version mismatch between the supported <1.3.0 version of libxmlsec1 installed via brew and what is supported by python-xmlsec. There is a workaround that can be found here: https://github.com/xmlsec/python-xmlsec/issues/254#issuecomment-1507659129

PyPI Organizations is an awesome step forward.
Well done!
The next step I would really like to see happening is package name namespaces like `org-name/package-name` instead of just `package-name` support on PyPI and in pip.

I've been fighting with #conda and #mamba all day long, and let's just say I'm this close to never using either ever again.
I'm usually an apologist when it comes to #Python packaging, but really that's just because #pip and #virtualenv are serviceable enough for 90% of use cases. mamba does a pretty good job of papering over the unusable mess that is conda, but it's still lipstick on a pig.
In terms of the brokenness of python packaging tools, I think it's
conda > virtualenv > mamba = pip

Why is the user experience for #npm and #pip so awful when you have to deal with private repos?
Both tools like to make it impossible to install anything when a credential expires/repo is unreachable and you get useless error messages and have to spend hours googling/ asking 6 people before you find which config file (local? global? other?) has the ref to the private repos

Using a combination of pyproject.toml, metadata library and #invoke the #edwh library allows for combining several #tasks.py collections. With #pip installable plugins, local tasks and run-everywhere functions it combines the best of code reuse, maintainability and project specific functionality. Still in beta, we'll be moving a lot of our internal project #devop code into an mit licensed open source repo.
The 1st functional plugin lives at https://github.com/educationwarehouse/edwh-multipass-plugin #python

Hi, friends I have and haven't met yet! I'm Kellyann, and this here is my #Intro. I recently (like, a year and a half ago) moved from #Vermont to #NewHampshire with my spouse, Tim. I'm #queer, of the #pan variety, and #genderqueer, though I don't talk about the latter much because in the past few years I've become femme. I dunno, maybe it's part of the glorious cycle that is genderqueerness.
Tim and I have two #cats, #Pip the Golden Boy, and #Dayenu, whom we also call Nubbins.
My spouse and I enjoy #hiking, #nature (we're both amateur naturalists), #LeverageRedemption, and the #Horizon games, #HorizonZeroDawn and #horizonforbiddenwest.
I work from home as an #indexer and as-yet-unpaid #Writer. I take lots of #Photographs; they're not good but I share them anyway.
We belong to a local #Reform synagogue, despite being Christians (one of us [me] a former professional Christian). There are many reasons for this: a lifelong appreciation of Jewish ritual and ethics, a Jewish step-mom who's closer to me (and my spouse) than we are with our bio-moms, and an aversion to supersessionism and bad theology in general in Christian churches. (When I left my last church, under very unpleasant circumstances, a fried, the organist, said, "I didn't think I could be a Christian, but you made a place where I could be a Christian." Turns out I did the same for myself.😢
I'm #autistic and have #cPTSD. Also #ChronicPain, #asthma, and a scarred trachea, making this #pandemic both incredibly tedious and yet full of suspense!
Too tired! More later!

How do you isolate your dev environment? Do you?
regarding #webdev or #dev In general. When using f.e. react, next or even just axios I got a ton of #npm modules installed in the JS ecosystem. Same with python #pip (though it seems a lot friendlier).
Now these packages sometimes become a security risk for my computer, my data, potentially life.
That's why I think we should all get a secure but ideally hastle free way to code.
How do you do it or do you have an idea? Pls boost!
"When thing to notice here" -> "One..."
"virtualen" -> "virtualenv"
"single-file virtual environment creator" -> you can use virtualenv as a zipapp, this is how I bootstrap a new #Ubuntu machine, and no, it is not small 😉
And #Ubuntu not distributing #pip by default is a blessing, as then there is no chance that I install anything globally or into my user folder by mistake.

For a client, I am considering upgrading their entire #python dependency management from #pip to Poetry. Regardless of how many libraries we have pinned, with pip, there is always a chance that some transitive dependency will get updated to an incompatible version, and cause hours of bug-chasing.
Are there any underwater Poetry traps that I should be aware of?

This might be related how your #Python / #pip is installed.

You can install it with #pip
Yesterday when hearing about the rise of malicious #pypi packages on the #realpython podcast, I had an idea for a package I’m calling`pre-pip`.
It’s a way to run some custom #python code before a #pip command. This could potentially be used to check if a package is on a known list of bad packages before installing it or to automatically upgrade pip before a pip install.
Seems there are lots of possibilities here.
