Michael #1: httpdbg)

• A tool for Python developers to easily debug the HTTP(S) client requests in a Python program.

• To use it, execute your program using the pyhttpdbg command instead of python and that's it. Open a browser to http://localhost:4909 to view the requests

Brian #2: PyPI Now Supports iOS and Android Wheels for Mobile Python Development)

• Sara Gooding

• “the Python Packaging Index (PyPI) has officially begun accepting and distributing pre-compiled binary packages, known as "wheels," for both iOS and Android platforms. “

• Next up, “cibuildwheel Updates Are in Progress to Simplify iOS and Android Wheel Creation”

Michael #3: Arcade Game Platform) goes 3.0

• via Maic Siemering

• This is our first major release since 2022.

• It keeps the beginner-friendly API while adding power and efficiency.

• Arcade now supports both standard OpenGL and ShaderToy (www.shadertoy.com)) a-shaders through a compatibility layer.

• Since 3.0 is a major release, the full list of changes is over in

• github.com/pythonarcade/arcade/blob/development/CHANGELOG.md)

Brian #4: PEP 765 – Disallow return/break/continue that exit a finally block)

• Accepted for Python 3.14

• I wouldn’t have thought to do this anyway, but it’s weird, so don’t.

• Will become a SyntaxWarning catchable by running with -We

Extras

Brian:

• Correction: Niki Tonsky was originator of) )“Pride) Versioning”). Thanks Nikita)

• Correction: Scheme is actually awesome. Brian is just a curmudgeon)

• Also: pytest-rerunfailures is good for exposing flaky tests)

• And apparently me being wrong was a great to get at least one person to blog more.

• Cheers Filip Łajszczak

Michael:

• Tea pot follow up

• While you're right that some software actually had this implemented, Python does not. It's not an officially accepted HTTP status code, it was proposed in a 'joke' RFC. I guess Python - even though its name comes from the funny TV series Monty Python - is not so funny. httpx, your (or at least -my-) favorite HTTP module for python, does have the I_AM_A_TEAPOT constant.

• By the way, there are some HTTP status codes that changed their names in RFC 9110, for instance, http.HTTPStatus.UNPROCESSABLE_CONTENT (422, previously UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY)

• Pride follow up fosstodon.org/@kytta/114034442981727301)

• Time to upgrade your mini)?

Joke: How old is she)?
