Agreed! That's the way we do work projects. For personal stuff, I also like using pyenv. But yeah, that's it, keep it nice and simple.

First, I have to apologize, I just meant post a link to NestText as a post in c/Python. I definitely didn't mean to imply you should have to go write a blog post (or something) about it just for me. I swear this was just an attempt to get another person posting interesting things to c/Python. 😬

Looking through the community projects and docs, the use cases/tooling that really stood out to me were:

• parametrize_from_file, for defining pytest parametrize params in a file
• validating NestedText content with Pydantic, particularly something like the example Django settings they provide

Thinking about how I might use it:

• Meeting notes
• A personal log of todo items, observations, feelings during the day
• Scoring a baseball game using a more sane version of Retrosheet's Event File format
• A possible human AND machine readable format for Architectural Decision Records

Gotcha. That's a fun alternative to the usual kind of course work.

Thanks for contributing to the community! Look forward to hearing more from you as you continue.

Curious, what kind of playlists are you creating?

I have to admit I feel like I'm not imaginitive enough to need to script Spotify.

Rubber ducking is the best. Appreciate that, hopefully it helps start a trend.

Hey, sorry we missed helping out!

Did you get everything sorted? Mind adding a "[Solved]" to the beginning of your post title if so?

Ugh, my apologies folks. Clearly still figuring out how to do this Lemmy/Mastodon federation thing.

Also trying out Today in Python!. I accidentally launched the first one early, in that I posted about 20 June 2023 on 19 June 2023. Whoops.

Next experiment is Talk Tuesday where each top-level comment is about a particular conference talk that a commenter liked and why they like it.

I raise you

@lambda _: _()
def result() -> int:
    global a; global b; a, b = b, a

I couldn't agree more!

I had a great colleague at my previous job, who was great at reminding folks that we're there to get things done together and struggling in silence was the opposite of that. If you can't figure it out after an hour, give someone (anyone!) a holler and get a second opinion.
