Rust for CPython (Python Language Summit 2026) https://lobste.rs/s/cpf8w6 #python #rust

Someone asked whether try/except around list.index is slower than checking with in first, so I timed it on CPython 3.12.

Found: try wins at every size, about 2x once the list is long, because in-then-index scans twice.

Missing: the raise is a fixed cost, 200 to 450 ns here. That is 4x at ten items and 16 percent at a thousand.

So it turns on how often you miss. At ten items try comes out ahead only if you miss less than 8 percent of the time; at a thousand, up to 75.

I've turned off pull requests from non-members for Flask, Werkzeug, Jinja, and Click this week, and have enjoyed not waking up to a fresh wave of AI junk every morning. I think I'm going to update our contributing guide to say "introduce yourself and how you use the library in chat first if you want to contribute pull requests". Sad that we had to go here, but aside from conference sprints we weren't really getting outside contribution anyway (which is also sad, but that's been the case a lot longer than AI has been around). #python #flask #opensource

One thing that isn't always obvious about open source projects is how they keep going year after year.

I've worn a lot of hats in the eight years maintaining this project. In today's economy, I'm back to my roots teaching what I know best: tech.

I'll keep these posts to a minimum here, but for those interested in learning more tech regularly, you can follow my personal account here:

I made some pretty significant changes under the hood for this release, which introduces real Qt threading, something that wasn't really used properly before. (Spell checking now runs off the main UI thread.)

The risk here is that the Python garbage collector isn't really designed for running on multiple threads. I now handle it the same way Calibre does.

I've spent many hours working on my own projects with this version, and it has been very stable on my system.
