When I started building event_pipeline, a Python framework for workflow orchestration and automation, I quickly realised how tricky it can be to catch small programming errors before they cause big headaches. That’s where MyPy came in. MyPy is a static type checker for Python — think of it as a helpful safety net that spots issues before your code even runs. By adding type hints and running MyPy as part of the development process, I was able to: 1. Catch common errors early 2. Make the codebase easier to understand for collaborators 3. Move faster with confidence during refactors For a project like event_pipeline, which coordinates many moving parts, that extra layer of reliability has been invaluable. If you work with Python and haven’t tried MyPy yet, it’s worth exploring. A little type safety can go a long way toward writing cleaner, more maintainable software. #Python #Automation #MyPy #SoftwareDevelopment #WorkflowAutomation #Engineering

Here’s how you can build with Circle Developer Controlled Wallets using the Python SDK 🐍 Deploy wallets on Arc, send USDC crosschain through CCTP, and decode hook data on the destination chain with minimal code. p.s. this video is sped up and the full video can be found on X, link and source code in the comments below!

Virtual environments are key to keeping your Python projects clean and organized. Nicholas Tollervey from Anaconda’s PyScript team shares why virtual environments are every developer’s sandbox. Using venv or conda, you can safely install packages without cluttering your system — keeping each project isolated and repeatable. Conda’s curated channels add another layer of trust, ensuring you’re always using reliable tools. Keep your code tidy and play with Python in a sandbox. 🪏🪣

✨ 100 Day Challenge Journal – Day 51 📅 11 Nov 2025 💻 Python Networking Practice : ◾ Developed a Socket Server program using Python — executed via Sublime Text → Command Prompt connection. 🧠 Concepts Practiced : ◾ Created a TCP socket using socket.AF_INET and socket.SOCK_STREAM. Implemented server binding, listening, and client acceptance on port 5500. Exchanged messages between client and server using sendall() and recv(). Handled WinError 10048 gracefully with SO_REUSEADDR to allow port reusability. Practiced safe socket closure using finally for clean exit handling. 📘 Key Code Highlight : s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) 👉 Enables quick rebinding of the same port during rapid testing — crucial for local networking setups. 🚀 Outcome : ◾ Successfully ran a server socket that receives messages and sends acknowledgment back to the client — first step toward understanding real- time client-server communication. #Day52 #100DayChallenge #Python #SocketProgramming #Networking #SublimeText #CMD #NetworkEngineerJourney

What is it like maintaining an open source project? Here's a perfect example of the kinds of PRs that are typical from a maintenance aspect 🧑💻 It's nothing glamorous, but a new Python version came out and our Netlify preview to render our coding guidelines stopped working. Why? We were grabbing a too new Python version and it seems the ecosystem hadn't caught up yet. What to do? Educate myself a bit more on how `pyproject.toml` and `uv.lock` are used. Update `pyproject.toml`, run `uv lock`. Pushed to remote and Netlify preview step now worked again. The FLS had changed upstream as well, which broke our build (intentionally). I did a manual audit of what had changed in the FLS, alongside an automated report saying that based on our linkage nothing had changed which should affect guidelines. I ran a command we have `./build.py --update-spec-lock-file` to then update the `spec.lock` file to have the hashes of the most recent FLS content. Then I opened a PR 🎉 https://lnkd.in/esRFUnYy

Hey folks! As I've been working on porting scripts to Python 3.14, I wanted to bring up that some ast methods were removed - these are ast.Num, ast.Bytes, ast.Str, ast.NameConstant, and ast.Ellipsis If you're porting scripts, you'll want to go to ast.Constant! Keep in mind that some external libraries or modules may need to be modified as well for this, in my case html5lib is one of those! We've also needed to modify build scripts for Firefox, Thunderbird, and NodeJS - as well as make some changes to SWIG bindings. I suspect it will be awhile before most distros and applications port off of 3.12 or 3.13, but if you're migrating to 3.14, definitely keep an eye out! #Python #Automation #Programming #SystemAdministration
