Maintaining visibility into code is crucial for effective bug detection. Binary files often impede code reviews due to their opaque nature, which limits reviewers' ability to spot issues. To combat this, it's essential to either remove binary files from source code or ensure that any binary files included can be easily generated through scripts. Implementing such strategies enhances review processes by enabling thorough scrutiny and increasing the likelihood of identifying potential bugs.
Every year the core developers meet to discuss and propose the major changes and trends in Python itself. This invite-only conference of about 50 people happens inside PyCon in the US. Because it's private, we rarely get detailed looks inside this event. On this episode, we have Seth Michael Larson here to give us his account of the sessions and proposals. It's a unique look into the zeitgeist of CPython.
