A new project I just released: chameleon-rs:

Chameleon templates, modernized: a Rust engine that runs Chameleon templates unchanged, several times faster, with async rendering and built-in framework integrations.

Announcing a new project to help push free-threaded #Python forward :)

gilguard is a tiny package. Import it first. If any later import quietly turns the GIL back on, you get an error naming the extension module, the package that shipped it,

mkennedy.codes Catch the import. Name the culprit. Keep threads free: Introducing gilguard On free-threaded Python, one import can quietly turn the GIL back on for good. gilguard turns that moment into an error that names the module, the package, and the line of your code that pulled it in.

Now that chameleon-rs ( mkennedy.codes/posts/chameleo… ) is off to such a good start. It's time to look at a the bigger "other" framework and see if we can make some advances there too. :)

Does any one know whether Claude Mythos was shared with the CPython team to check for issues before its impending release? How about with web framework teams like FastAPI, Flask, Pydantic, etc? Web server projects like nginx?

Any recommendations on who to invite for a "self-hosted apps" topic on @talkpython?

They don't need to be the creator of a self hosted app necessarily, but Python-leaning and experienced in self-hosting web apps is the key. (You can invite yourself).
