Brian #1: Syntax Error #11: Debugging Python

• Juhis
• Issue 11 of a fun debugging newsletter from Juhis

    • take a break
    • adopt a process
    • talk to a duck
  • tools & techniques
    • print
    • snoop
    • debuggers
    • Django debug toolbar & Kolo for VS Code

Michael #2: umami and umami-analytics

• Umami makes it easy to collect, analyze, and understand your web data — while maintaining visitor privacy and data ownership.
• umami-analytics is a client for privacy-preserving, open source Umami analytics platform based on httpx and pydantic.
• Core features
• ➕ Add a custom event to your Umami analytics dashboard.
• 🌐 List all websites with details that you have registered at Umami.
• 🔀 Both sync and async programming models.
• ⚒️ Structured data with Pydantic models for API responses.
• 👩‍💻 Login / authenticate for either a self-hosted or SaaS hosted instance of Umami.
• 🥇Set a default website for a simplified API going forward.

Brian #3: pytest-suite-timeout

• While recording Python Test 213 : Repeating Tests
  • I noted that pytest-repeat doesn’t have a timeout, but pytest-flakefinder does.
  • And perhaps I should add a timeout to pytest-repeat
• But also, maybe there’s other places I’d like a timeout, not just with repeat, but often with other parametrizations and even parametrize matrices.
• So, pytest-suite-timeout is born
• But Why not pytest-timeout? asks Mike Felder
  • timeout is only timeouts per test, and it isn’t always graceful
  • suite-timeout is for the full suite, and only times out between tests.
  • so, you could use both

Michael #4: Listmonk and (py) listmonk

• Listmonk
  • Self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager (think mailchimp)
  • Built on Go and Vue
  • Backed by a company charing for this service as SaaS
  • Still requires a mail infrastructure backend (I’m using Sendgrid)
• listmonk (on PyPI)
  • API Client for Python
  • Created by Yours Truly
  • I tried 4 other options first, they were all bad in their own way.
  • Features:
  • ➕Add a subscriber to your subscribed users.
  • 🙎 Get subscriber details by email, ID, UUID, and more.
  • 📝 Modify subscriber details (including custom attribute collection).
  • 🔍 Search your users based on app and custom attributes.
  • 🏥 Check the health and connectivity of your instance.
  • 👥 Retrieve your segmentation lists, list details, and subscribers.
  • 🙅 Unsubscribe and block users who don't want to be contacted further.
  • 💥 Completely delete a subscriber from your instance.
  • 📧 Send transactional email with template data (e.g. password reset emails).
• These pair well in my new docker cluster infrastructure
  • Calls to the API from a client app (e.g. Talk Python Training) are basically loopback on the local docker bridge network.

Extras

Michael:

• Every github repo that has “releases” has a releases RSS feed, e.g. Umami
• Kolo Django + VS Code
• Warp Terminal on linux
• bpytop and btop - live server monitoring
