I posted a new #Python tutorial about #Matplotlib subplots that runs in your browser with no installation required.

It was contributed by one of the participants in my sprint at the #PyCascades conference, and it's based on work by @rougier .
Looks like the videos from PyCascades 2026 were just published. I've updated my recap blog post with the links to these videos.
PyCascades 2026 Recap PyCascades 2026 took place in Vancouver this year. I only get to attend on the first day, because I had a 5 a.m. flight to Washington DC the morning after. Still, the first day’s talks were all very insightful and interesting. The talks have now all been published, so I can finally catch up on the ones I missed. You can watch the full PyCascades 2026 playlist on YouTube.
Finally wrote my recap from PyCascades 2026!

Post PyCascades knitting status: 13th row of increases! Good progress, and I even got to watch some talks during the con because the volunteers were great
A maintainer I saw when I was up at #PyCascades clearly just cursed me because we were talking about how our respective Python packages haven’t been targeted by agents yet.
Well I think that’s over now that I’ve got 4 PRs opened in the last hour without any context or hey, I’d like to contribute.
These packages need a lot of work before they can be release ready, but the infrastructure for building, testing, and publishing them cross-platform is getting very close.
Thanks to feedback from yesterday's #PyCascades sprints, we also have a lot more insight into what barriers new contributors hit, and have some ideas on how to improve docs to help.
This is finally starting to come together, and I love it.
#PyCascades SPRINTS! Didn't know I would literally be sprinting for my train, but had an amazing time with folks today sprinting on @team working on some hairy python + CPP on Mac issues 😅
But WE FIXED IT FAM! I really love working with folks like this, everyone's experiences helped everyone get unblocked much faster ❤️ And yes at some point I'll get better at 'pdb' 😆
Thanks again to everyone who organized PyCascades for another fabulous year 💜💖
