I figured they would wait for !Python's PSF to decide for all #python related channels.

Finding the #Nim language interesting because it reminds me of !Python.
It has some similarities to #Python, at least on the surface level that the 2nd video explores, along with compiling to #C (so interfacing with C via FFI is said to be “easy”).
@musicman I’m definitely not what I’d call proficient in !Python, but I did find “Dive Into Python” (there’s also a “Dive Into Python 3” now) helpful. I bought “Learn Python the Hard Way” for one of my sons, but I don’t have any idea whether it was better or worse than any other language-learning resource.
I remember hearing about some big breaking changes in the 3.x series of !python. What I mean is, like from 3.4 to 3.5 there were some breaking changes. I cannot, however, remember what those are, or immediately find answers with a search tool. I use python so infrequently, that it just hasn't been an issue until now. Does anyone know what those changes I am thinking about might have been? I do think it was either 3.4 to 3.5 or 3.5 to 3.6. !sysadmin
Is there a #fedora group? I'm trying to get a legacy !python application to compile on 27. I think it's getting confused about pip modules vs. yum modules, but I'm not sure.
Actually more like 2, as Cython isn't a Python implementation. So, they're talking about Tauthon and PyPy.
I'm not so sure about Tauthon -- There hasn't been much activity since the original work, even though a new 3.x version is out which presumably has features that could be backported (pathlib.Path().resolve() now has a strict parameter which, when False, makes it act like normpath() instead of abspath() yaay!).
But then they're also forgetting a newly launched Python implementation that decided to go with 2.x even though 3.x has been out for a decade:
Nobody knows how long any Google project is going to be around, but Grumpy is alive and kicking, and I wouldn't be surprised if enough commercial users tie themselves to it to want to keep it alive.
There's a 3.x branch somewhere, but it's not in the official Mercury repo, and even though 2.7.0 was back in 2015, 2.7.1 is under active development with commits almost every week.
On my little #Roku, I'm watching some episodes of #RailCasts on Mad Coder TV. I find myself wondering whether there are similar series available for !Python and #PHP frameworks (e.g., #Django, #TurboGears, #Symfony).
"GNU Social for Ruby. Simple library aimed to make easy the creation of applications that interact with GNU Social API, such bots, simple tools for commandline and others. " by @raito Mmhh feels like I want to port this nice piece of code to !python (anyone?)
