@itamarst My sense is that #uv solved the problems that #Pipenv set out to address & uv's approach is superior. Pipenv usage will be stable the same as python 2.7
Pipenv had many missteps & reasons for complaint. But when it started 8 years ago(!), python venv & req management were almost total chaos. Apart from Anaconda and Docker, it was common practice to YOLO an unpinned requirements.txt
Pipenv was a leap forward. Grateful for the effort. Generations of better tools have come since, tho

@studiop It sounds like you're trying to represent the associativity and precedence of the syntax of these expressions as you build on them. I think the appropriate way to model this is as a tree.
From "Crafting Interpreters" [1] :
"One way to visualize that precedence is using a tree. Leaf nodes are numbers, and interior nodes are operators with branches for each of their operands."

Great keynote from @kjaymiller at #PyConUS24 on all the great work happening at @blackpythondevs
If everybody in the room this morning donated $2, they'd meet their #PyCon fundraising goal!
One good sign: I'm trying to donate now, and their payment processor is slammed. Here's hoping the python community shows up and shows out! #bpdxpycon

@MissingThePt Admit it. If you were required to watch multiple weeks of the south Florida crew going on the road to take on Washington's team, you'd nod off a few times yourself

Ariana Mendible is sharing a great talk, "Small Town Police Accountability: A Data Science Toolkit" here at #SciPy2023. Her group has created a great package to help researchers parse the output of FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) requests, using #OCR, #NLP, and #Python. The library, called SToPA, is available on GitHub: https://github.com/qsideinstitute/SToPA

In September,
the day after the debate between Harris and Trump,
I spoke again with the lobbyist #Ed #Rogers.“You know, I’m a Trump voter, a Trump donor,” he said,
“but I think Harris is going to win.”Another Republican told me that, after Trump’s poor debate performance,
he had seen similar hand-wringing from other major donors:“Can I stomach giving money to this guy and he keeps blowing it?”
In at least one notable case,
Harris managed to regain a major donor who had defected to Trump,
the Silicon Valley venture capitalist
#Ben #Horowitz.Horowitz and his business partner, #Marc #Andreessen, who are both longtime Democratic givers,
had stunned the tech world in July by endorsing the ex-President,
citing, in part, Trump’s newfound support for the crypto industry.But, in October, Horowitz announced that he and his wife planned to make a “significant donation” to Harris,
saying that, though the Biden Administration had been
“exceptionally destructive on tech policy,”
he had spoken personally with Harris, a friend from California,
and was “hopeful” that she would take a different approach.“There was no real engagement by the Biden world with the business community,”
a Democratic donor who has spoken with the Vice-President told me.“Harris has been very intentional about engaging.
She’s saying all the right things.”
Harris’s success with the moneyed class infuriated Trump.
“All rich, job creating people, that support Comrade Kamala Harris,” he wrote in a social-media post in September,
“you are STUPID.”A couple of weeks later, he posted the
false claim that
Jamie Dimon, the JPMorgan C.E.O., whom Trump had also mused about as a candidate for Treasury Secretary,
had endorsed him.Not only was this untrue, as JPMorgan swiftly announced;
it turned out that Dimon’s wife had donated more than $200,000 to the Democratic ticket
and attended a dinner this summer with Harris.As if to rebut the doubters,
Trump appeared in early October at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania,
the scene of the first assassination attempt against him,
alongside his wealthiest benefactor, Musk.Trump had outsourced much of his campaign’s turnout operation
—the traditional preserve of the political parties and the candidates
—to Musk’s America pac.Musk, whom the Times called “obsessive, almost manic” in his backing of the ex-President,
had all but relocated to Pennsylvania to oversee an effort to swing the crucial battleground state.In Butler, he leaped around the stage in a black maga hat,
as the former President grinned with delight.If Trump does not win, Musk told the crowd, “this will be the last election.”
A few days later, Harris’s campaign made a stunning announcement:
she had raised $1 billion in a matter of weeks,
the largest sum ever collected for an American politician in such a short amount of time.Harris more than doubled Trump’s contributions in September alone.
Will it matter?

Trump was fund-raising off his conviction with small-dollar donors as well;
His campaign, which portrayed him as the victim of a politicized justice system, brought in nearly $53 million in the twenty-four hours after the verdict.
Several megadonors who had held back from endorsing Trump announced that they were now supporting him,
including
🔸#Miriam #Adelson, the widow of the late casino mogul #Sheldon Adelson;
🔸the Silicon Valley investor #David #Sacks, who said that the case against Trump was a sign of America turning into a “Banana Republic”;
🔸and the venture capitalist #Shaun #Maguire, who, less than an hour after the verdict, posted on X that he was donating $300,000 to Trump, 👉calling the prosecution a “radicalizing experience.” 👈A day later, #Timothy #Mellon, the banking-family scion, wrote a $50-million check to the Make America Great Again super pac.
#Ed #Rogers, a longtime G.O.P. lobbyist, had never publicly endorsed Trump or raised money for his campaigns.
On May 31st, the day after Trump’s conviction, he sent his first contribution to the ex-President. “There was no case to make that that was not targeted prosecution,” he told me.
He predicted that other Republicans who, like him, had been “allergic” to Trump would now get on board as well.
“I tell people I am a Bill Barr, Chris Sununu, Nikki Haley Republican,” he said, listing the names of Republican officials who had criticized Trump in blistering terms only to support him again in 2024;
Haley, despite having called Trump “unhinged” and a threat to the Republic, had announced the week before his conviction that she would vote for him.
“The choices are 🔹Biden or Trump🔹, and I’m at peace with that,” Rogers said in June.
“I wish it was a different equation, but it’s not.”❗️Many donors I spoke with at the time described
🧨Trump’s trial as an impetus,
but they tended to cite a litany of other reasons, too, including questions about
🔸Biden’s age and fitness to serve another term, concerns about his
🔸economic policies, and gripes about some of his
🔸appointees, such as the head of the Federal Trade Commission, Lina Khan, who has launched high-profile antitrust investigations.Trump, despite his populist rhetoric, deficit spending, and support for market-distorting tariffs,
has sold himself as a pro-business candidate.He has promised extensive deregulation,
nearly unfettered drilling for oil and gas,
and tax cuts for corporations and wealthy individuals.“A lot of the donors have just come to the conclusion that, when you add it all up,
the risks with Trump are behavioral
—personal behavior and what he says
—versus the policies,” the attendee at the Fifth Avenue fund-raiser told me.It was a “rationalization” adopted by “even those who were initially very put off, very alienated, by his behavior at the end of his Presidency.”
🆘 By late May, Trump’s campaign had more money in the bank than Biden’s.
The incumbent President’s disastrous performance in a June 27th debate against Trump only accelerated the trend.
“After the debate, Biden looks like a loser,
so these people who were never going to give to Biden,
they’re now even more attracted to the idea of giving to former President Trump,”
the attendee at Fanjul’s dinner said.“Because he looks like a winner.”
The following month, as Democratic donors and elected officials frantically pressured Biden to drop out of the race,
Trump and the Republicans again outraised the Democrats.“The Zeitgeist in the business world is that Trump is going to be President again,”
a billionaire C.E.O. who is not a Trump supporter told me at the time.“Therefore, why fall on your sword on principle?”
He added, “Businesspeople
—their main focus in life is to make money,
and you make money by backing winners. . . .They’ve concluded, O.K., he’s going to be President,
let’s hold our nose and do what we have to do.” -
