  • Show HN: Visualize the Entropy of a Codebase with a 3D Force-Directed Graph

    Perfect, that worked, thank you!

    I thought this could be solved by changing the directory to src/ and then executing that command, but this didn't work.

    This also seems to be an issue with the web app, e.g. the repository for the formatter black is only one white dot https://dep-tree-explorer.vercel.app/api?repo=https://github...

    Ruff is not only much faster, but it is also very convenient to have an all-in-one solution that replaces multiple other widely used tools: Flake8 (linter), isort (imports sorting), Black (code formatter), autoflake, many Flake8 plugins and more. And it has drop-in parity with these tools, so it is really straightforward to migrate from them to Ruff.
  • Auto-formater for Android (Kotlin)

    What I am looking for is something like Black for Python, which is opinionated, with reasonable defaults, and auto-fixes most/all issues.
  • Releasing my Python Project
    4 projects | dev.to | 26 Nov 2023
    1. LICENSE: This file contains information about the rights and permissions granted to users regarding the use, modification, distribution, and sharing of the software. I already had an MIT License in my project. 2. pyproject.toml: It is a configuration file typically used for specifying build requirements and backend build systems for Python projects. I was already using this file for Black code formatter configuration. 3. README.md: Used as a documentation file for your project, typically includes project overview, installation instructions and optionally, contribution instructions. 4. example_package_YOUR_USERNAME_HERE: One big change I had to face was restructuring my project, essentially packaging all files in this directory. The name of this directory should be what you want to name your package and shoud not conflict with any of the existing packages. Of course, since its a Python Package, it needs to have an __init__.py. 5. tests/: This is where you put all your unit and integration tests, I think its optional as not all projects will have tests. The rest of the project remains as is.

  • The new pdbp (Pdb+) Python debugger!
    9 projects | dev.to | 2 Aug 2023
    If you’re already using ipython, this isn’t a problem because you’ll already need to download most of these dependencies anyway. But if you’re not using ipython… you’ll still need to download those dependencies.
  • Pandas 1.5 released

    !pip install is error-prone, it is better to use %pip install, ipython even warns about this, https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/12954/
  • Why deprecate loading unpackaged extensions?
    2 projects | /r/IPython | 8 Aug 2022
    The git history (here is the git blame) shows it has not been updated in 9 year. Looks like a documentation issue that you should open an issue against.
  • Debugging Python programs without an IDE
    2 projects | dev.to | 29 Jun 2022
    Do you know IPython? It is a modern Python console that extends the capabilities of the classic builtin Python shell by offering introspection, tab completion, syntaxing coloring, as well as history. If you don't know it, I can't recommend it enough. More information can be found in its GitHub page.

    You can automate setup for developers using this simple script:

    https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/12091/files

    And here’s a GitLab issue requesting support for blame-ignore:

    https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31423

    I don’t think there’s a corresponding GitHub request, but maybe if GitLab adds this feature GitHub will have some incentive to follow suit.
