itertools.batched() is pretty neat.
This update just makes me thirstier for the next level optimizer currently in work. I think it's supposed to come out with 3.13.
How do you guys update python versions and all the libraries you have installed? I have multiple like
- pygame
- ptpython
- pandas
- Pillow
- icecream
- ... is it not a massive hassle to have to reinstall all of this with every new version and fight the old version on ubuntu?
Pyenv! Let the OS have its own version and work on whatever version you want, whenever.
Also pipx for cli tools. It creates isolated environments for every tool you install. And upgrading is one command away pipx reinstall-all --python (your pyenv).
You are 100% right, that's why we use virtual environments. Specifically we use poetry, which is fine.
Conda is, to the alternative already mentioned, a great way to keep different versions of python and it's packages for each project!
The deadsnakes ppa is quite awesome
On Linux, I'd just build my own Python binaries and make them available. But you can also use pyenv for the same thing if you're ok with it.
Then, using poetry, I have different projects with isolated environments.
PEP 688 sounds useful. Might have to have a play.
