Super fun improv time at #PyconUS today!
Here are the games we played:

Just presented at EduSummit #PyConUS
"Your slides, but faster:
Building an AI-powered presentation workflow"https://pamelafox.github.io/ai-powered-presentation-workflow/
Tips: Use RevealJS, ASCII mockups, audits, agent skills -
@pamelafox 's prez about slides with agents at #pyconus was compelling as always

I turned my #pycon2025 poster about vector embeddings into a blog post:

@pamelafox Black 25.1 made mostly similar changes to @pillow, plus adding a few trailing commas and trimming some whitespace from a docstring:
https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/pull/8729/commits/955d678ca201fd530027d90626f91aad07c64f0e
Smaller projects (that I've checked so far) had no change.

@pamelafox @charliermarsh gives me something to blog about at least 😜 #SummerProject

@pamelafox I wrote "coroutine" 469 times in Fluent Python Second Edition.
The main chapter about asynchronous programming is framework-agnostic.
The examples use #asyncio, #FastAPI, and #curio, to show that `async/await` are not tied to a specific runtime event loop or library.

@pamelafox @simon As a non-native English speaker, I really do appreciate tools like this. #DeepLWrite has been tremendously useful for me (although I'm not sure if it necessarily fits under the LLM umbrella).

@pamelafox Wow, that's an interesting troubleshooting journey! 🔍🐳 It's amazing how a simple 'docker system prune' can work wonders and resolve the issue. Thanks for sharing your experience! #DockerTroubleshooting #TechFixes #sarcasm #punintended

I talked about using Bicep (infrastructure-as-code) to deploy PostgreSQL servers to Azure at #CitusCon today. Slides @ https://pamelafox.github.io/my-py-talks/postgres-bicep/
Recording up soon! -

Just presented "1-click deploys of Python Web Apps to Azure" at Python Web Conf. Thanks to attendees for great engagement and questions!

Not all the #PyConUS posters are up yet, but the ones that are look amazing 🤩
I especially like...
@pamelafox - explains vector embedding visually in a way that finally helped tie everything together in my head. I feel like I actually *understand* the core concepts 1000% better now.
@simon - I love the dozens of little photos demonstrating real uses of #datasette. Now I want to explore all the niche museums within driving distance of home!
#Python is applied a mind-boggling variety of ways!

CW: Teaching introductory programming, Parsons Problems, Python + visual
Check here:
https://abav.lugaralgum.com/faded-parsons-visual/I have made it with lots of help from friends, specially https://bolha.us/@lucianoratamero, it's a prototype of a tool to make/run #ParsonsProblems with visual output (using the #Processing #p5js vocabulary).
As I prefer to teach with #Python, I'm using a #pyodide based #pyp5js hack, with names changed to match #py5. The #ParsonsPuzzles infrastructure is a fork from a tool by amazing @pamelafox you can also fork and adapt it easily (static pages, can be served from GitHub Pages).

TIL #PyAI on March 10th 2026 (just missed it). Small event, focused on unglamourous AI in production, some of the speakers were practitioners I know and respect. The description reminds me a bit of #NormConf !
- Talk videos will hopefully be released online soon
- Blogpost by @pamelafox, one of the speakers: https://blog.pamelafox.org/2026/03/learnings-from-pyai-conference.html
- Organisers plan to organize another one next year 👀 -
New #urllib3 JSON APIs making a cameo in @pamelafox's presentation slides! 🤩 #Python

@com @avolkov @morgaelyn @pamelafox I use a unique virtual environment for each Python project and use `pip freeze > requirements.txt` inside that venv to commit the dependencies. Am I missing anything compared to this `pip-tools compile`? 🤔

Primeira tentativa de #ParsonsProblems com resultado visual, graças ajuda do incrível @lucianoratamero, e sobre os ombros da gigante educadora @pamelafox :D
A first attempt at Parsons Puzzles with visual results, thanks to incredible Luciano Ratamero and standing in the shoulders of giant educator Pamela Fox...

This "#reloader" functionality is common with web frameworks/servers, but I'm not sure how well it would work in the context of a long-running #process. If some of my code has an instance of a class in a module that gets reloaded, and the class definition changes ... what then?
I can't really think of a sensible enough way for it to work for it to be useful.

On the big ballroom stage at #PGConfIndia in Bengaluru is Varun Dhawan from the Azure Database for PostgreSQL team at #Microsoft giving his rather caffeinated & energetic talk about “Using Postgres to locate the best coffee near you!”
And to teach us about how to use #PostgreSQL with vectors for semantic search, Varun used data about local coffeeshops, a local delivery service called Zomato, a cameo by Dora the Explorer, vector comparisons by @pamelafox … and apparently Varun himself had several (!!) coffees before getting up on stage. Lots of #Postgres fun!

Today's #CitusCon video of the day is by @pamelafox who gave a talk at Citus Con: An Event for Postgres 2023 about "Deploying PostgreSQL to Azure with Bicep"
Pamela is an amazing explainer and her talks never fail to delight. Which is a double negative way of saying it's a good talk.
