Look what I made in Python! 
New Goal: learn/ find out how/ try as long I need to code a laurel wreath-like thing to go around the stars.

If you don’t want to set up a separate database server for vector search, you can use SQLite or DuckDB with vector extension. In this article, Max Gabrielsson explained how to do it using DuckDB.

@MauriceMeilleur is back for another online workshop: Typographic Patterns and Animations with Python and DrawBot.
For designers who code and love type, pattern, and motion, and want to incorporate them all in their work.
Dec 7–15, 10am–1pm PT (18:00–21:00 GMT)

Time for my periodic wrestle with #Python 's import system 
Anyone thinking about using Anaconda #python in courses (or groups) might want to revert to standard python installs, some snakes going after folks it appears: https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/08/anaconda_puts_the_squeeze_on/
Modern Good Practices for Python Development
An outline of best practices for #Python development, including using tools like #pyenv, #pipx or Development Containers for managing Python versions. It also recommends using pyproject.toml for project configuration, virtual environments for package management, and tools like Black, #Ruff, and #pytest for code formatting, linting, and testing.

Python Psychopy sound question
Another #PythonProgramming question because you’re all so great:
How can I find the version of a module (say, psychopy) that relies on a specific version of a dependency (say, pyzmq between v18 and v20)? Oh, and install it within an existing conda environment.
Hi all, #PythonProgramming question:
What is the most real-time-accurate way to emit a sound in #Python? 
Which module would you use for it? Any basic example code that generates & plays simple sounds (i.e. beep of a chosen frequency)?
By real-time I mean that it’s OK to have to generate a sound object at initialization, but I want it to play exactly when I send the instruction to play, say with around 10-50 ms precision. 
This isn't an elegant way to code I'm sure, but I'm learning. There is the format method which I want to try, but I'm building up the code to see what's needed. I'll be drawing a flow of what I need to do. #Python #PythonProgramming #Coding #Code #Programming #Study #Beginner
#PythonProgramming question: is there any way to have the program enter debug mode when an error happens (equivalent of “dbstop if error”) in Matlab?
I don’t mean at a specific, pre-decided point in the code, I mean a general instruction that would do it without changing the code.
I’m just using a modified version of #IDLE to write my code, no fancy editor…
I created a #Python #automation for transcribing any #YouTube video to text files with language detection. You will get accurate, customizable results while saving time and free of cost. It is very easy to use and can be useful for #content #creators, #researchers, and #educators!

After seeing the article about using Swift’s NumberFormatter to convert numbers into their word form, someone asked if there’s something similar for Python. There is — inflect.py — and I’ll show you how to use it!
