After #Python conferences in 🇮🇹/🇩🇪/🇵🇱 (and ~1.5k #pytest booklets gone), my conf season is almost over for the year. Next, I will be at the CH Open Workshop-Tage in 🇨🇭, for once not talking about pytest, but with a one-day course on Python Best Practices (German): pretalx.com/workshop-tag...

Python Best Practices Workshop-Tage 2026

Python hat den Ruf, "ausführbarer Pseudocode" zu sein, und wird oft lapidar als Skriptsprache abgetan. Diesem Ruf zum Trotz eignet sich Python aber auch für grosse Projekte, so spielt es beispielsweis...

My #pytest quick reference brochures finally arrived at #PyConDE! Find them at this desk at the entrance, or at the community sponsors desk in the Lounge (first floor). Please take as many as you (and/or your colleagues) need, I have 500 here weighing in at >30kg, and I am here by train 😅 #Python

I wanted to design a #pytest cheat sheet for #PyConDE. Hyperfocus kicked, so I ended up with a 40 page booklet! 🤯 I ordered 500 copies to my hotel, should arrive on Wed. Make sure to get yours, or I'll have to find a way to get 30kg home 😅. github.com/The-Compiler... PDF: pyte.st/ref.pdf #Python

I have some big news to share: My name and pronouns changed! 🎉 After more than a year of self-discovery and a sometimes exhausting double identity, it finally felt like the right time to take this big step. Big kudos to all the amazing people who knew and supported me in the past couple of months!

My next open in-depth #pytest trainings: 🇨🇭 October 29th to 31st, Zurich, Switzerland, with letsboot.ch: www.letsboot.ch/kurs/pytest 🇩🇪 🌍 March 3rd to 5th, Leipzig, Germany & Remote, with Python Academy: python-academy.com/courses/pyth... #Python

Going the extra mile for my #pytest trainings and found someone to draw me some illustrations for my slides! Love how things look so far. #Python

We've gone full circle: My pytest training slide now links to @mathspp.com's blog post with an (outdated) screenshot of the same slide 🤣

It is now easy to contribute financially to the pytest project, as we are now members of the GitHub Sponsors program: github.com/sponsors/pyt... This is an easy and convenient way to contribute, integrated with GitHub. Any contribution, no matter the size, is really appreciated by the team!

The pytest framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.

I'm delighted to announce that my introductory #pytest training ("simple, rapid and fun testing with #Python") has been accepted for both @pyconde.bsky.social as well as @europython.eu! See you in Darmstadt 🇩🇪 and/or Prague 🇨🇿? I'm already working on the next CfP, for the CH Open workshoptage.ch 🇨🇭!

I just released #pytest-xvfb v3.1.0 and .1 (after some CI trouble)! Other than the usual Python version and tooling updates, this exposes a new #pytest hook pytest_xvfb_disabled(), which can be implemented to dynamically decide to disable Xvfb for this test run. github.com/The-Compiler...

I did a 100% speedrun of the @europython.eu proposals community voting... got the email about it only yesterday, voting closes on Monday 😅

@sjvn.bsky.social FWIW, I think www.zdnet.com/home-and-off... is wrong: You say "encourage the creation of new Chromium-based web browsers" and "any new browsers will be housed under the Linux Foundation", but that's the exact opposite what the @linuxfoundation.org press release says: [1/2]

The Linux Foundation launches an initiative to support open-source Chromium-based browsers

Google's Chromium source code will be used as the basis for new open-source web browsers.

#qutebrowser is 11 years old, almost on the minute! I'm celebrating by releasing v3.4.0: listi.jpberlin.de/pipermail/qu...
