Re: [RELEASE] Python 3.12.3 and 3.13.0a6 released

I have to comment on this one: "Docstrings now have their leading
indentation stripped"

Incredibly useful!

Re: PyCon

[Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer via Python-list]

Yes, this year's pretty exciting, great keynotes, great lightnings, great
location, great even sponsor talks (thought they would be pumping a lot of
marketing, but the ones i went were pretty awesome technically)

Organization side pretty smooth as well 👍

Re: Help with Streaming and Chunk Processing for Large JSON Data (60 GB) from Kenna API

[Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer via Python-list]

Idk if you tried Polars, but it seems to work well with JSON data

import polars as pl
pl.read_json("file.json")

Python List is Not Dead

[Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer via Python-list]

Hey all,

I have been following discussions on Discourse (discuss.python.org) these
last times.

I think that it definitely lacks some of the joys of the mailing list:

1/ Categories

The discussion has fixed categories. No channel for  fun posts, project
releases or musings.

2/ Ui

Good luck getting to the bottom of big threads. Hello JS!

PS. You can but it's not intuitive.

3/ Quality

I find great posts here and there on the mailing list. I can't seem to find
great posts over there.

Just sharing my POV. I like the mailing list ^^,

Kind Regards,

Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer
