Hm, pip-audit is not available in Debian.

TIL:

To install:
uv add …
(Or pip install … for the boomers)

#Python #uv #pip #ProgrammingBoomer

Not only have I not brought uv into my workflow, I still write all my own Python code. I have a bunch of boomer buddies that use Claude Code, which makes me feel “not just boomer, I’m prehistoric”. (Yes I wrote assembler and even entered opcodes with front panel switches.)

Lessons from this week's removal of the #pkg_resources module:

- If you don't use the `--no-build-isolation` argument of `pip install`, then `--require-hashes` is only partly effective and your builds may break whenever incompatible changes are made to #setuptools or other build dependencies.

- If you use `--no-build-isolation`, you need multiple `pip install` calls: first for all the needed build dependencies (a.k.a. `setup_requires`), then for the packages you actually want.

After some testing #urlscan is the better alternative to #urlview to extract and access URLs in email messages with #mutt. No broken links to the ever increasing number of invites, calendar files and access links. Install via #homebrew on #macos or using #pip on #linux : https://github.com/firecat53/urlscan

„Plaga śmieciówek i fikcyjnego samozatrudnienia dewastuje polski rynek. Pracownicy są pozbawieni należnych ich praw, uczciwi przedsiębiorcy narażeni na konkurencję ze strony omijających przepisy cwaniaków, a państwo w tym ochrona zdrowia pozbawiane są potrzebnego finansowania.

Czy rząd Donalda Tuska zamierza coś z tym zrobić? Otóż nieszczególnie.”

We started testing against Python 3.14 (included free-threaded runtimes), made it compatible with #pip v26+, dropped Python 3.8 from the support matrix, fixed a bug or two, and did a load of behind-the-scenes infra work y'all ain't gonna be interested in..

Well, maybe Stephen will shed some light on that in this upcoming blog post 🤞

The "Benefits and Work community” getting the facts from DWP about cost savings from changes to the Work Capability Assessment (WCA). Contrary to the narrative that benefit claimants are cheating fraudsters, it seems the majority of savings are by reducing administrative costs, and nothing to do with more accurately checking eligibility. So, not fraud then.

WCA.., over half of welfare savings not from claimants

and this is not the only occurrence of this kind of issue. I've seen very similar things in multiple "tools" that I was trying to install. Not sure if #uv is fully ready for #python #pip mess yet. I also understand that not all projects are #uv ready yet.

All DWP PIP claimants need to know this about benefit reform plans
