We all know the number of stars on GitHub is an excellent metric for understanding how many people has starred a repo.
CPython now has 66.6k stars
❯ gh repo view python/cpython --json stargazerCount
{
"stargazerCount": 66645
}
Can exactly 21 people, and no more, star it to get to 66666?
all tests passing for system
yet to integrate & test multiple more things and dump that to ci/cd pipeline
hmm what kind of work is that.
why is #cpython so prominently used for this?

@HerraBRE I have decided to call this technique "the shebonk".
Because it's link a shebang, only weird!
I've added shebonk support to my forked zipapp.py, will be using to build even more portable pagekite.py bundles than before!
I wonder if this hurts my chances of getting my enhanced #zipapp merged back into upstream #CPython? :-P
Do you maintain or contribute to a #Python package that includes a C extension? Would you like to run a fuzzer against it?
If so, let me know and I will run it, or help you to get it running.
The fuzzer is #fusil, which generates random code calling into your functions and methods. It's useful to check for crashes on invalid inputs or unexpected call patterns.
It has found about 50 crashes in #CPython, 20 in #PyPy, 6 in #Numpy etc.

Yesterday someone reported that the recursion limit isn't fully enforced in Python 3.13: https://discuss.python.org/t/infinite-recursion/88900
Today I accidentally discovered a segmentation fault introduced in Python 3.12: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/132747
What a weekend.
Сворачиваем CPython вокруг PVS-Studio
Python... язык программирования, не нуждающийся в особом представлении. За удобство в обработке "больших данных" заслуженно получил звание "лучшего Excel". За удобство интеграции в C и C++ код его любит геймдев. А также у него низкий порог вхождения! Но как обстоят дела внутри?

Unlocking Python Performance: The Surprising Speed of 'if not mylist' Over 'len(mylist) == 0'
In the world of Python development, performance can often hinge on seemingly minor syntactic choices. A deep dive into CPython's internals reveals that using 'if not mylist' can be nearly twice as fas...

Отладка с sys._getframe в Python
Привет, Хабр! Сегодня в коротком формате разберемся с тем, что же творится внутри CPython, когда функции вызывают друг друга: sys._getframe , f_back , f_globals , f_locals , а также создадим свои декораторы.
#Slixmpp 1.10.0 has been released (#XMPP / #Jabber / #SleekXMPP / #Python / #CPython) https://slixmpp.readthedocs.io/
The Python version diagram has been updated to show the bugfix/security split for each release. (Before, the bars were either completely green or yellow.)
https://devguide.python.org/versions/
It's also zoomed in and shows fewer releases than before. There's another chart further down the page showing all of 2.6 to 3.14. And the wording in the status key has been refreshed to make it clearer.

[Перевод] Производительность интерпретатора Python 3.14 с оптимизацией хвостовых вызовов
Примерно месяц назад проект CPython смерджил новую стратегию реализации интерпретатора байт-кода. Первоначальные результаты были очень впечатляющими , продемонстрировав среднее повышение производительности на 10-15% в широком спектре бенчмарков на различных платформах.
