12 fév. 2026 — mon dernier CM de Toulouse Métropole. 🏙️ Je ne me suis pas représentée : burn-out autistiques, refus d'aménagements raisonnables. PS + droite = extrême-centre : 45 000 demandeurs de logement très social ignorés, transports concentrés sur Toulouse. Affaires judiciaires : 50 promoteurs, 300 000 €, plainte Anticor. Avec PEPS : écologie de rupture.

6 fév. 2026 — mon dernier CM de Toulouse. 🏛️ Je ne me représente pas : épuisée par 6 ans de refus d'aménagements raisonnables. Bilan sans concession : affaires Moudenc, validisme institutionnel, dérive du PS, sabrage des heures d'aide humaine, et défense d'une écologie de rupture avec PEPS 31.

PEP news!

PEP 829 – Package Startup Configuration Files: accepted

"The SC views PEP 829 as a sensible improvement to the interpreter layer, compatible with and not precluding future work in the installer and packaging standards space. We encourage contributors interested in that broader direction to consider proposing complementary standards. Accepting PEP 829 is not a statement that the interpreter layer is the end of this work."

PEP 829: Structured Startup Configuration Files

The SC has discussed and is pleased to accept PEP 829 - Package Startup Configuration Files! The SC is comfortable with the three-year deprecation window as proposed. However, we request the following revisions to the text before the PEP lands: The current abstract buries the lede a bit. The first paragraph should highlight what is materially changing: <name>.start files with pkg.mod:callable syntax, a three-year .pth import-line deprecation, and retained path-extension .pth.

PEP news:

PEP 661 – Sentinel Values: accepted

Originally created in 2021, and revived just in time for Python 3.15.

https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-661-sentinel-values/9126/337

PEP 806 – Mixed sync/async context managers with precise async marking: rejected

There's a high cost to adding new syntax. "The problem this PEP addresses, while genuine, does not in our view meet that bar."

PEP 661: Sentinel Values

On behalf of the Python Steering Council, I’m very happy to share that we have accepted PEP 661 for Python 3.15. Thank you @taleinat for creating the PEP and @Jelle for reviving it in time for 3.15. We especially appreciate how all of the SC’s earlier feedback was addressed nicely in the latest iteration of the PEP, resolving all of our previous concerns. Congrats!

PEP 0 – Index of Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) | peps.python.org

This PEP contains the index of all Python Enhancement Proposals, known as PEPs. PEP numbers are assigned by the PEP editors, and once assigned are never changed. The version control history of the PEP texts represent their historical record.

#Persona, a Peter #Thiel of #Palantir fame funded provider of identity and age verification services for companies like #Discord and the entire #UK, left their code base open to the web. Of course they did.

Let’s look at what it does, shall we?

The platform performs 269 individual verification checks on user data, far beyond basic age verification.

#Surveillance: Persona’s system screens users against global watchlists, including those for #terrorism, #espionage, and politically exposed persons (#PEPs), using facial recognition and risk scoring. Researchers confirmed that the government-facing and consumer-facing versions of Persona use the same underlying code, suggesting a unified surveillance infrastructure.

Data Retention: Personal data including government ID, phone numbers, names, faces, selfies, IP addresses, browser fingerprints, and device fingerprints—is collected and retained for up to three years.
