    RE: https://code4lib.social/@acdha/116558806694701121 Do not use pull_request_target. Do not use caches in publish workflows. Use dependency cooldowns. Use Zizmor. Tell GitHub to make Actions secure by default. #GitHub #GitHubActions

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@hugovk/116534312819614916 Just as importantly! After two years, it&amp;#39;s now time to ceremoniously hand over the `main` branch to @savannah! `main` is now accepting new features for Python 3.16, and I bet it&amp;#39;s going to be even better than 3.15. https://peps.python.org/pep-0826/ #Python #Python315 #Python316

    The day before feature freeze, the CPython team is busy reviewing last minute PRs, but today&amp;#39;s latest #GitHub outage is eating review comments. We are resorting to pasting screenshots of reviews around in PRs and DMs. https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/148827/#issuecomment-4390256894

    Who would like Rust in CPython 3.15? @emmatyping and Kirill Podoprigora &amp;quot;propose introducing the Rust programming language to CPython. Rust will initially only be allowed for writing optional extension modules, but eventually will become a required dependency of CPython and allowed to be used throughout the CPython code base.&amp;quot; https://discuss.python.org/t/pre-pep-rust-for-cpython/104906 #Python #Python315 #CPython #Rust
