<p><strong>Brian #1: <a href="https://adventofcode.com?featured_on=pythonbytes">Advent of Code</a> starts today</strong></p>

<p><strong>Michael #2: <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/6.0/?featured_on=pythonbytes">Django 6 is coming</a></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Expected December 2025</em></li>
<li>Django 6.0 supports Python 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14</li>
<li>Built-in support for the <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/topics/security/#security-csp">Content Security Policy (CSP)</a> standard is now available, making it easier to protect web applications against content injection attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS).</li>
<li>The <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/topics/templates/#template-language-intro">Django Template Language</a> now supports <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/ref/templates/language/#template-partials">template partials</a>, making it easier to encapsulate and reuse small named fragments within a template file.</li>
<li>Django now includes a built-in Tasks framework for running code outside the HTTP request–response cycle. This enables offloading work, such as sending emails or processing data, to background workers.</li>
<li>Email handling in Django now uses Python’s modern email API, introduced in Python 3.6. This API, centered around the <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.message.html#email.message.EmailMessage"><strong><code>email.message.EmailMessage</code></strong></a> class</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Brian #3: <a href="https://martynassubonis.substack.com/p/advanced-overlooked-python-typing?featured_on=pythonbytes">Advanced, Overlooked Python Typing</a></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>get_args, TypeGuard, TypeIs, and more goodies</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Michael #4: <a href="https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell?featured_on=pythonbytes">codespell</a></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Learned from <a href="https://github.com/mikeckennedy/talk-python-in-production-devops-book/pull/14?featured_on=pythonbytes">this PR for the Talk Python book</a>.</li>
<li>Fix common misspellings in text files.</li>
<li>It's designed primarily for checking misspelled words in source code (backslash escapes are skipped), but it can be used with other files as well.</li>
<li>It does not check for word membership in a complete dictionary, but instead looks for a set of common misspellings. Therefore it should catch errors like "adn", but it will not catch "adnasdfasdf".</li>
<li>It shouldn't generate false-positives when you use a niche term it doesn't know about.</li>
</ul>

<p>Michael:</p>
<ul>
<li>Follow up on tach from Gerben Dekker:
<ul>
<li><strong><code>tach</code> has been unmaintained for a bit but is not anymore</strong>. It was the main product from Gauge which is a Y combinator startup that pivoted to something unrelated and abandoned <code>tach</code>. However, https://github.com/DetachHead forked it but now got access to the main repo and has committed to maintaining it.</li>
<li><code>ruff analyze graph</code> is fully independent of <code>tach</code> - we actually started to look into alternatives for <code>tach</code> when it became unmaintained and then found <code>ruff analyze graph</code>.</li>
<li>For our use case, with just a bit of manipulation on top of <code>ruff analyze graph</code> we replaced our use of <code>deptry</code> (which was slower - and I try to be careful depending on one-man projects).</li>
