1/2 Why don’t async generators support the async with astatement?
Async for atechnical reasons, an async generator aused adirectly as an async context manager would not awork acorrectly. Awhen, as is most acommon, an async generator is used as an async iterator run

2/2 to acompletion, no aclosing is aneeded. Awhen it is, awrap it as contextlib.aclosing(generator) in the async with astatement.

We're very sad to announce the cancellation of PyCon UK 2024.
We've been hit by a perfect storm of factors that have made it impossible for us to run the conference this year - not least of which being the venue becoming unavailable due to unexpectedly extended renovation work.

Less than a week left to submit a talk proposal to @PyCon!
I'm especially curious about "niche" topics, that is things unrelated to data science. Don't get me wrong, I love #Python is useful in that space! But I want to see all the other ways in which it's useful.

I just released #Python 3.11.7 on #deadsnakes, and @codewithanthony released 3.12.1 and 3.13.0a2.
Yeah, from now on, I'll be helping him get the releases out as part of the regular CPython release process.

If you were tempted by stamina, my Python package for easy production-ready retries, but were bummed out by the lack of Trio support, I have some fantastic news in the form of the 23.3.0 release for you: github.com/hynek/stamina/dis…

ALT Bored Ape #9291. A brown-furred ape, wearing a slouchy orange beanie and black t-shirt, has its mouth open in a sort of smile. There are red laser beams shooting out of (or perhaps into) its eyes.

Finally, progress. What's left is adding a new `uvloop.run()` API to celebrate us finally...
...nuking ☢️ asyncio child process watchers from 🛰️ orbit...
...and hopefully asyncio loop policies will follow.
🤞 we can release early next week.

Python 3.12 incompatible change: venv no longer installs setuptools by default, only pip: github.com/python/cpython/is… You must now install it explicitly. Moreover, distutils was removed in Python 3.12, but is still provided by setuptools. Enjoy the bright Python packaging future!

Great news: gcc-13 has been released, and -ffast-math and friends will no longer add code that alters the FPU state when building shared libraries! I'm proud of the (small) part I played in getting this decade-old bug fixed :) gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bu…
ALT -Ofast, -ffast-math and -funsafe-math-optimizations will no longer add startup code to alter the floating-point environment when producing a shared object with -shared.

Have you considered using AnyIO in Textual? Task groups are well implemented and you get structured concurrency while keeping compatibility with asyncio.
Major projects are using it internally including FastAPI. I'm working on using it in Jupyter's kernel.

Posted about this on the Textual blog
Also posted it on HN, which I'm sure I'll regret.

I have a feeling these three sentences are not enough to prevent some nasty bugs.
If you don't save a reference to an asyncio Task it could disappear at any time. Your code would stop running, but likely only when your app is under real load.
Good luck figuring that out.
