Brian #1: Possibility of a new website for Django

Michael #2: aiosqlitepool

  • ️A resilient, high-performance asynchronous connection pool layer for SQLite, designed for efficient and scalable database operations.
  • About 2x better than regular SQLite.
  • Pairs with aiosqlite
  • aiosqlitepool in three points:
    • Eliminates connection overhead: It avoids repeated database connection setup (syscalls, memory allocation) and teardown (syscalls, deallocation) by reusing long-lived connections.
    • Faster queries via "hot" cache: Long-lived connections keep SQLite's in-memory page cache "hot." This serves frequently requested data directly from memory, speeding up repetitive queries and reducing I/O operations.
    • Maximizes concurrent throughput: Allows your application to process significantly more database queries per second under heavy load.

Brian #3: deptry

  • “deptry is a command line tool to check for issues with dependencies in a Python project, such as unused or missing dependencies. It supports projects using Poetry, pip, PDM, uv, and more generally any project supporting PEP 621 specification.”
  • “Dependency issues are detected by scanning for imported modules within all Python files in a directory and its subdirectories, and comparing those to the dependencies listed in the project's requirements.”

  • Note if you use project.optional-dependencies

    [project.optional-dependencies]
plot = ["matplotlib"]
test = ["pytest"]

  • you have to set a config setting to get it to work right:

    [tool.deptry]
pep621_dev_dependency_groups = ["test", "docs"]

Michael #4: browsr

  • browsr ️ is a pleasant file explorer in your terminal. It's a command line TUI (text-based user interface) application that empowers you to browse the contents of local and remote filesystems with your keyboard or mouse.
  • You can quickly navigate through directories and peek at files whether they're hosted locally, in GitHub, over SSH, in AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage.
  • View code files with syntax highlighting, format JSON files, render images, convert data files to navigable datatables, and more.
