Welcome to c/Python, the go to place to discuss Python tools, techniques, and news.
We’re just getting started, so please use this thread to suggest what this community should look like, what it should cover, and how it should operate.
The code in the community’s banner is in python 2. Can we get that changed?
Ha! Great catch. Yeah, I’ll get that sorted.

I took notice of this as well. nice
I don’t know, I just got here.
Here being only just starting to learn python. And also this community too.
Next experiment is Talk Tuesday where each top-level comment is about a particular conference talk that a commenter liked and why they like it.
Thought I would also keep track of things we experiment with here. The first is Media Mondays where we track podcast and video episode from the community over the last week.
Also trying out Today in Python!. I accidentally launched the first one early, in that I posted about 20 June 2023 on 19 June 2023. Whoops.
This proved to be a fair amount of work, absent a bot of some sort that I haven’t had time to create yet.
So, I failed toward just including events in the sidebar, with a link to python.org’s Event Calendar.
Just a reminder that we sent you a DM some time ago, but have yet to receive an answer. Happy cake day :)
-The admin team
Hey Ulrik, apologies for not responding sooner.
I’m more than happy to talk about adding one (or more!) mods for any of the communities I mod for right now, including c/python. I have at least one person in mind, who has been pretty active both in c/python and c/django. I’d also like to talk more about mod expectations, particularly with regard to reported posts/comments.
From the perspective of the admin team, as long as reports are consistently resolved in a timely manner we are happy.
If you have any questions or want help with finding extra moderators, feel free to ask it here or via DM, otherwise we also have a Discord server and a Matrix space where we can talk.
i wonder what python version should be recommended as standard? should it be what debian stable currently has as its lastest? i’ve found some things can’t handle the new-ness of 3.11. so is it 3.10?
3.11 has been out long enough that it is supported by almost all mainstream libraries now. Unless you have a reason to use an older version (of which there are quite a few to be fair), 3.11 would be my default.
the OpenAI API doesn’t like 3.11 at the moment but yeah, it’s easy enough to use an earlier version, especially with conda
