Articles, Tutorials and Talks

Why Python needs to be paused during profiling - but Ruby doesn't always
This post is talking about what the effects of a data race look like when profiling with py-spy, why this happens with py-spy much more frequently than in rbspy due to differences in the CPython and CRuby interpreter implementations, and why you still might want to consider using the nonblocking in some conditions despite the potential for inaccurate profiles being generated.

Late-bound argument defaults for Python
Python supports default values for arguments to functions, but those defaults are evaluated at function-definition time. A proposal to add defaults that are evaluated when the function is called has been discussed at some length on the python-ideas mailing list. The idea came about, in part, due to yet another resurrection of the proposal for None-aware operators in Python. Late-bound defaults would help with one use case for those operators, but there are other, stronger reasons to consider their addition to the language.

I just want to run this one Python script
Ever had a script that's compatible with both, Python 2 and 3, but you didn't want to bother the user to know which interpreter to call? Maybe because the script is often used in environments where only one Python is available and users just expect things to work?
