Beginning Python: Project Management With PDM
PDM is a solution that allows for easy creation and management of python projects. Some of the key features that will improve the management of python projects include:
-
A question about good practice when using docker.
You'd need a proper dependencies management tool like PDM or Poetry to exhaustively resolve and lock down all the transitive dependencies if you want to have anything closed to reproducible build.

pdm-dotenv: Simplify Your Project's Environment Variable Management
Are you working on a Python project that uses pdm for dependency management and dotenv for local environment variable and secrets management? Do you find it frustrating when CLI tools like pgcli don't automatically pick up your .env file, forcing you to resort to npm install -g dotenv-cli? I've got a more convenient solution for you!
-
PEP 582 rejected - consensus among the community needed
I first learned about PDM from a blog post written by one of the PDM contributers. The post was about OOPifying argparse to allow for easy creation/modification of subcommands that exist as their own classes/files, and to avoid maintaining a single long script with an endless number of subparser.add_argument(...) lines.

PEP 704 – Require virtual environments by default for package installers
That's more or less what PEP 582 plans to do, but it's been stalled and mired in discussions for years. The PDM tool went ahead and implemented it though if you want to use it: https://github.com/pdm-project/pdm

Boring Python: Code Quality
I'm liking PDM for a while now. Quicker than Poetry and built according to the Python package spec in mind and not as an afterthought. While it was originally meant to work with PEP 582, it works with virtual environments too (now default).

How to Create Virtual Environments in Python
Python's venv module is officially recommended for creating virtual environments since Python 3.5 comes packaged with your Python installation. While there still are additional older tools available, such as conda and virtualenv, if you are new to virtual environments, it is best to use venv now.
- Why does creating my conda environment use so much memory?

PSA: conda-libmamba-solver can cut two hours off of your Anaconda install, but has only 47 GitHub stars. It deserves more praise.
conda's dependency solver solves a harder problem than pip's. This quote alludes to it "Conda will never be as fast as pip, so long as we're doing real environment solves and pip satisfies itself only for the current operation." (from https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7239). Thus mamba was created to improve performance and now conda is bringing in that performance boost.

How to get the best Conda environment experience in Codespaces
The other challenge I ran into sometimes was that if I was running a lower memory/storage Codespace instance, when I tried to use Conda from the command line to modify environments, the process would be killed after a few seconds. This turns out to be related to some performance issues Conda has that make it consume a lot of memory when trying to work with the conda-forge installation channel. You can always then just increase the size of the Codespace your are working with (just go to your Codespaces list and use the triple dots to change the settings for a Codespace).

What is the status of Python 3.11?
It's worth noting that [ana]conda isn't even fully compatible yet with 3.11 (you can use it to create 3.11 environments--and you really should rather than waiting on relying on the system python--but conda itself can only run on 3.10.

Miniconda finally released for Python 3.10
It took some time but as great Christmas present Miniconda was finally released with Python 3.10!

TW: ZSH (and BASH?) does not show current working dir etc anymore
The September update broke it.

Python 3.11.0 is now available
According to this this issue is high on their priority list (whatever that means).
What are some alternatives?
