Increased diversity in communities usually comes from active outreach work. PyCon's has a partially blinded talk selection processes.

If 300 people submit talks and 294 are men, then 98% of talks will likely be from men.

If 500 people submit talks and 394 are men, then ~79% will likely be by men.

When you type code into the Python REPL, it will be colorized as you type it. Read more �‘‰ https://trey.io/flfwr9 #Python

So when writing a file using Python's csv module, you're expected to always specify newline="" when opening the file you're writing to, to make sure that you don't accidentally double up your carriage returns on Windows. Read more �‘‰ https://trey.io/ca0qyn #Python

In the 1960s, teleprinters used a carriage return (CR) to move the printhead back to the beginning of the line, and they used a line feed (LF) to move to the next line. Read more �‘‰ https://trey.io/ca0qyn #Python

This is such a weird email to get from the Social Security Administration... 🙁

But PEP8 (the official Python style guide) recommends putting binary operators (operators that go in between two values, like and and or) at the beginning of each line, for the sake of readability. Read more �‘‰ https://trey.io/f98u5c #Python

Working with file paths in Python? (splitting, joining, navigating, etc.)

Check out #Python's pathlib module.

It's great for splitting/joining paths, finding files by filename patterns, renaming files, and more.

I decided to just quote the oath of office on mine. #NoKings

Enjoyed this morning's #PyConUS keynote from @tfmfm.bsky.social & @geoffhing.bsky.social on a very important use for #Python.

Hello #PyConUS attendee who I have probably never met!

If you would like to say hello, please message me while we're both in the same city together! I'm on Signal at trey.02. More contact details at trey.io/pycon

Also I have Python Morsels stickers! I'd love to give you one. 🐍🍪

When chatting in the hallway at PyCon, try leaving a gap for someone else to join the conversation. #PyConUS

We're playing Cabo and other games in the Westin lobby.

Come join us #PyConUS folks!

Don't miss out on the rooftop track at #PyConUS this year! 🌳

There are a couple dozen of us out here eating lunch right now and I many folks will be hanging out here over the next few days of @pycon.us.

The rooftop track is like the hallway track, but with a great view! 🖼️

Hey #NBPy folks! 👋

I'm flying out tonight, so if you would like a Python Morsels sticker, hug, or a chat, find me today.

I would love to say hey to you if we haven't met yet!

If you would like a Python Morsels sticker today PLEASE ask me for one (or 10!). I brought so many! 🐍🍪😅

#EarthDay

Well that was weird... DeepSeek R1 just thought for almost 8 minutes before starting to give me a response. 🤯

It used over 22,000 tokens just thinking about a response. 🤔

Each day, you'll watch a 4 minute video and then attempt to write Python code. ⌨

It's 2 hours of video, but about 20 hours of carefully crafted bite-sized exercises. 🍪

I just launched this course and it's 50% off, but only through Monday. 💸

Comprehensions have their own scope:

>>> n = 4
>>> squares = [n**2 for n in range(9)]
>>> n
4

But loops do NOT have their own scope:

>>> n = 4
>>> for n in squares: ...
>>> n
81

This looks like a #PythonOddity, but there's a good reason. #Python
