Michael #1: Distributed sqlite follow up: Turso and Litestream
- Michael Booth:
- Turso marries the familiarity and simplicity of SQLite with modern, scalable, and distributed features.
- Seems to me that Turso is to SQLite what MotherDuck is to DuckDB.
- Mike Fiedler
- Continue to use the SQLite you love and care about (even the one inside Python runtime) and launch a daemon that watches the db for changes and replicates changes to an S3-type object store.
- Deeper dive: Litestream: Revamped
Brian #2: PEP 792 – Project status markers in the simple index
- Currently 3 status markers for packages
- Trove Classifier status
- Indices can be yanked
- PyPI projects - admins can quarantine a project, owners can archive a project
- Proposal is to have something that can have only one state
- active
- archived
- quarantined
- deprecated
- This has been Approved, but not Implemented yet.
Brian #3: Run coverage on tests
- Hugo van Kemenade
- And apparently, run Ruff with at least F811 turned on
- Helps with copy/paste/modify mistakes, but also subtler bugs like consumed generators being reused.
Michael #4: docker2exe: Convert a Docker image to an executable
- This tool can be used to convert a Docker image to an executable that you can send to your friends.
- Build with a simple command:
$ docker2exe --name alpine --image alpine:3.9
- Requires docker on the client device
- Probably doesn’t map volumes/ports/etc, though could potentially be exposed in the dockerfile.
Extras
Brian:
- Back catalog of Test & Code is now on YouTube under @TestAndCodePodcast
- So far 106 of 234 episodes are up. The rest are going up according to daily limits.
- Ordering is rather chaotic, according to upload time, not release ordering.
- There will be a new episode this week
- pytest-django with Adam Johnson
