Michael #1: PyPI+


Very nice search and exploration tool for PyPI
Minor but annoying bug: content-types ≠ content_types on PyPI+ but they are in Python itself. Minimum Python version seems to be interpreted as max Python version.
See dependency graphs and more
Examples

content-types
jinja-partials
fastapi-chameleon



Brian #2: uv-ship - a CLI-tool for shipping with uv


“uv-ship is a lightweight companion to uv that removes the risky parts of cutting a release. It verifies the repo state, bumps your project metadata and optionally refreshes the changelog. It then commits, tags & pushes the result, while giving you the chance to review every step.”


Michael #3: How fast is 3.14?


by Miguel Grinberg
A big focus on threaded vs. non-threaded Python
Some times its faster, other times, it’s slower


Brian #4: air - a new web framework built with FastAPI, Starlette, and Pydantic.


An very new project in Alpha stage by Daniel & Audrey Felderoy, the “Two Scoops of Django” people.
Air Tags are an interesting thing.
Also Why? is amazing

“Don't use AIR”
“Every release could break your code! If you have to ask why you should use it, it's probably not for you.”
“If you want to use Air, you can. But we don't recommend it.”
“It'll likely infect you, your family, and your codebase with an evil web framework mind virus, , …”
