Thinking about collecting "vintage" Python and PyLadies themed shirts to bundle together for a PyLadies auction donation. I've got a few and would be willing to organize collection, and an entry for #PyConUS.

Anyone else from #Python who would want to join, have a shirt or more than one, and willing to ship to a US-based address?

This is a neat solution for those old Python projects that have no uv, pyproject.toml, or version-pinned requirements.txt. It allows you to go "back in time" with pip!

Edit: @bk1e pointed out pip >= 26 has this option built-in. Use `--uploaded-prior-to `!
