<p><strong>Michael #1:</strong> <a href="https://wasmer.io/posts/py2wasm-a-python-to-wasm-compiler"><strong>Announcing py2wasm: A Python to Wasm compiler</strong></a></p>
<ul>
<li>py2wasm converts your Python programs to WebAssembly, running them at 3x faster speeds</li>
<li>thanks to <a href="https://nuitka.net/">Nuitka</a></li>

<p><strong>Brian #2:</strong> <strong>Exploring Python packages with</strong> <a href="https://oven.fming.dev"><strong>Oven</strong></a> <strong>and</strong> <a href="https://pypi-browser.org"><strong>PyPI Browser</strong></a></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://pypi.org">pypi.org</a> is great, but there are some handy alternatives</li>
<li><a href="https://oven.fming.dev"><strong>Oven</strong></a>
<ul>
<li>Shows how to install stuff with pip, pdm, rye, and poetry</li>
<li>Similar meta and description as PyPI</li>
<li>Includes README.md view (no tables yet, though)</li>
<li>Nice listing of versions</li>
<li>Ability to look at what files are in wheels and tarballs (very cool) </li>
<li>Can deploy yourself. Node/Remix app.</li>
<li>Really slick.</li>
</ul></li>
<li><a href="https://pypi-browser.org">PyPI Browser</a>
<ul>
<li>View versions</li>
<li>View wheel and tarball contents.</li>
<li>Metadata and contents.</li>
<li>No README view</li>
<li>Is a Starlette app that you can deploy on your on with a private registry. So that’s cool.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Michael #3:</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLBiJ5kYUFg">PyCharm Local LLM</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Pretty awesome full line completer based on a local LLM for PyCharm</li>
<li>Requires PyCharm Professional</li>
<li>An example, given this partial function in Flask:
<pre><code>@blueprint.get('/listing')
def listing():
videos = video_service.all_videos()
</code></pre></li>
</ul>
<p>Typing ret →</p>
<p><img src="https://python-bytes-static.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/llm-complete.png" alt="img" /></p>
<p>That is, typing ret autocompletes to:</p>
<pre><code>return flask.render_template('home/listing.html', videos=videos)
</code></pre>
<p>Which is pretty miraculous, and correct.</p>

<li>“As for the Python team, the current positions have <a href="https://social.coop/@Yhg1s/112332127058328855">reportedly</a> been "reduced" in favor of a new team based in Munich.”</li>
