REAL PYTHON podcast Python Performance Optimization: A Practical Guide Learn practical Python performance optimization techniques, from confirming a bottleneck with timeit to picking the fix that makes your program faster. REAL PYTHON Quiz: Python Performance Optimization: A Practical Guide REAL PYTHON Current vs. Historical Memory in Python Agents Your Python agent stores a preference, the user changes it, and vector search can return both versions. The fix is linking the new memory to the old one, so the old one is marked historical and stays available.

The new limit is mostly to keep page rendering for projects to be reasonable and the rule is only for PyPI and won’t be enforced by tools such as pip or uv. PYPI.ORG PSF Wikis: Relaunched “In February 2026, the Python Software Foundation (PSF) made the PSF, Python, and Jython wikis read-only due to excessive automated traffic and security concerns on outdated infrastructure.” After much work, they are being made available again. This post describes what happened. PYTHON SOFTWARE FOUNDATION Unblock Your Coding Agent’s Web Access Ask Claude Code or Cursor to fetch a page and it often comes back blocked, half-rendered, or buried in markup. Zyte MCP, from the maintainers of Scrapy, connects your agent to Zyte API for rendered pages, clean Markdown, and structured data in the same session. It’s hosted, connects with one command Connect Zyte MCP in one command → ZYTE sponsor How I Decide Which Python and Django Versions I Support Matthias is the maintainer of several popular Django and Python packages.
