attrs VS Visual Studio Code

Full support for validation and serialisation of attrs classes and msgspec Structs. Where previously only Pydantic models and types where supported, you can now mix and match any of these three libraries. In addition to this, adding support for another modelling library has been greatly simplified with the new plugin architecture

Pydantic is by far not the only library of its kind, with prominent members of the same class being attrs, cattrs or even plain dataclasses for some use cases.

Anything requiring e.g. setattr, getattr, delattr? Without looking far,

I was looking for an example of using locals() to "fill a data class from kwargs" or something similar to that. The example here doesn't use locals().

That aside, I generally wouldn't use the kwargs approach shown in this example either. I'd use [dataclasses](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html ) or [attrs](https://www.attrs.org/) instead.

I continue to be surprised how easy it can be to consume a SOAP API with the right client libraries. Such as https://docs.python-zeep.org/en/master/ for Python. Now that's not to say it will always work, you can design a terrible API with any mechanism, no SOAP or REST client will help you if the other end has desided to succumb to madness and done something like turn their entire API into just "two endpoints" and driven by the payload content you post to the inbound endpoint, and you have to sit there polling the outbound endpoint with the inbound endpoints response ID because to find out what the eventual response is...

But horror story aside, consuming a decent SOAP endpoint with a good client library can be practically magical.

Between attrs (https://www.attrs.org/), cattrs (https://cattrs.readthedocs.io/), and the aforementioned zeep soap client I've got a serialisation pipeline from soap endpoint into an attrs dataclass with type hints and basic type validation down to a snippet so small it fits right here (type hints removed to minimise size).

  from zeep import helpers

attrs has at least two.

A code editor (VS Code is my go-to IDE), but feel free to use any code editor you're comfortable with.

First, grab your favorite command-line tool, Terminal or Warp, and a code editor, preferably VS Code and let’s begin.

C# is very good as a language, have developed in it for 5+ years. The problem is the gap between what MSFT promises to management and actually delivers to developers. You really really need to fully read the fine print, think of the omissions in documentation and implement a proof-of-concept that almost implements the full solution to find out the hidden gotchas.

For example, even probably their best product VS Code only got reasonable multiple screens support last year: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecommen...

And then, on the other end of the spectrum, you have Teams.

Hey fellow amazing developers, we got you Essential VS Code Extensions for 2024 (these are especially important for web developers) recommended by our developers at evotik, we wont talk about ESlint nor Prettier which all of you already know.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code): Developed by Microsoft, VS Code is a lightweight yet powerful IDE with extensive support for Python development through extensions. It offers features like IntelliSense, debugging, and built-in Git integration.

In VSCode for example this can be easily done by adding the following .vscode/launch.json file:

I had a near-identical experience. I looked into switching in 2019 and ran into this 2016 bug which was a showstopper for me. Fixed it myself, grand total 4 line diff. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10643

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), always create a new Python file for your project.

Code Editor: Choose a code editor like Visual Studio Code that offers good support for web technologies and extensions for PWA development.

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), create a new Python file for our music player project. It's helpful to have separate files for different parts of your project.
