Thanks to @hugovk@mastodon.social for helping me with my first release!

@savannah@fosstodon.org Congratulations! 🥂 It sure was a complicated first few hours with the cowboys ;-)

@FabMusacchio In 3.15 (almost) every CLI in the standard library will have a splash of color! For example, this morning I added some to the ast module CLI in https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/6d4ca16f47586533c9223fe5729f6b7e221fa9f9 :-)
tzdata 2026.2 has just been released with the Time Zone Database version 2026b (released two days ago).

@bagder@mastodon.social I don't believe your mystical tales;-) Python still gets the likes of "CRITICAL 0-DAY: Python ctypes Memory Corruption" :-/

@bagder@mastodon.social Yay, another graph! I need to do this for the Python docs! (Which are I think bigger than the cURL codebase now… https://blog.python.org/2026/03/cpython-codebase-growth/ ;-)

@davidism I was curious what the breakdown was for CPython, so I did a 'lil counting.
Total (non-backport) PRs opened in the last 30 days: 568
Of those PRs:
Merged: 259
Closed: 95
Still open: 214

@davidism That’s unfortunate, hopefully things will improve with time.
Note that in the above statistics I only included PRs targeting the ‚main’ branch.

@coderanger@cloudisland.nz I was recently looking at Buildkite, it’s interesting, but it can’t provide what Microsoft can. IMO with GitHub actions we get what we (don’t) pay for. In CPython for example, we now have many many jobs that run in the CI for each commit (both to branches and PRs, looking at the statistics, that’s a total of over 1.2 million minutes this month). It may not be ideal, but it is a pretty amazing amount of resources.
