pycrdt has less than 200 GitHub stars, but it's downloaded quite a lot.

Just released tdiff v0.4.1 which adds support for auto-refresh on file change.

tdiff v0.4.0 adds support for recursively comparing two directories. Previously, in non-git mode, you could only diff two files. uvx tdiff --help

I'm filing issues for new features in tdiff in case an AI out there decides to go and implement them :) github.com/davidbrochart/…

The nice thing about tdiff is that I use it to develop tdiff :) Anyways, v0.3.0 is out, which drops dulwich in favor of the git CLI. This way tdiff will behave much like `git diff`. The current API is `tdiff git`, with similar arguments. Next step: integrate with `git difftool`?

Tdiff v0.1.1 is out, with line wrapping. Thanks @willmcgugan!

I just released tdiff, a Textual diff viewer based on @willmcgugan's awesome textual-diff-view. github.com/davidbrochart/…

@willmcgugan Thank you, Will!

Thank you, Python.

I created Python bindings for Facebook's Yoga flexbox layout engine (entirely using AI): github.com/davidbrochart/… It's part of a bigger project to provide Python bindings to opencode's opentui.

@willmcgugan @fvoron Will it be GPL?

@fvoron Oh, it won't be in the core library. I'm going to publish it separately.

Should I factor out the diff view widget I built for Toad into a new library? Self contained. Split, unified view. Syntax highlighting. Line and character diff highlights. It's pretty nifty.

@pydantic @marcelotryle Nice, how about a real Jupyter integration inside Logfire? 😎

We just revamped the Logfire Explore view. Enjoy a notebook-like interface to query your trace data with SQL helped by a new AI assistant. Watch @marcelotryle walkthrough the feature. youtube.com/watch?v=IrgpXq…

@prefix_dev Might not be a good example, because NumPy will be installed through SciPy?

Do you need more control over the packages that will be installed in your Pixi workspaces? You can now define [constraints], which allow you to specify which versions are allowed when a package is installed.

@maartenbreddels Yeah, JavaScript and Python are not too different.

@davidbrochart Then ask it to rewrite in rust ;)

I'm vibe coding a port of Yjs to Python in: github.com/davidbrochart/… Quite impressed by @mistralvibe so far.

@willmcgugan You were a visionary!

I was doing TUIs before they were cool #justsaying

@willmcgugan AnyIO has async versions of Path operations, that are run in a thread. It also supports subinterpreters: anyio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/subi…

Further refinements to the fuzzy path searching. I was using sub interpreters to do the matching across cores. Worked great, but it took ~300ms to start all those Python instances. It happens one time, but the delay was noticeable The fix was to ensure the code in the interpreter didn't pull in more imports that necessary. With that in place it is under 50ms. I've also fixed an issue with the directory scanning, where it was going multiple parallel scans. 🤦‍♂️ Now the initial directory scan is faster. Fixed a bunch of Path operations. Things like Path.resolve() touch the filesystem and will block asyncio for a brief period, potentially cause a tiny stutter. Always do those in asyncio.to_thread. Finally, I added truncation of the paths with a midline horizontal ellipsis (⋯) at the left if there is truncation. This makes much more sense for paths, where the final component should have priority. I *could* wrap the paths, but I figured that might look odd. WDYT? New Toad release coming tomorrow.

Just published textual-editor to PyPI. It's a textual widget that is similar to TextArea but that actually runs a real editor and connects it to an embedded terminal emulator, so that you get all the power of neovim (or whatever your preferred editor is). github.com/davidbrochart/…

Jupyverse now supports legacy Jupyter server extensions. It does that by proxying the server, so no rewrite of the original extensions is needed. You can try jupyterlab-git and jupyterlab-lsp with: pip install jupyverse[jupyterlab,auth,jupyterlab-git,jupyterlab-lsp]

@samuelcolvin @mitsuhiko BTW, are you competing with openclaw? 😂

@samuelcolvin @mitsuhiko Very interesting, I can see a use-case with Jupyter.

Fuck it, a bit early but here goes: Monty: a new python implementation, from scratch, in rust, for LLMs to run code without host access. Startup time measured in single digit microseconds, not seconds. @mitsuhiko here's another sandbox/not-sandbox to be snarky about 😜 Thanks @threepointone @dsp_ (inadvertently) for the idea. github.com/pydantic/monty
