@pycharm has a handy feature like adding a name import by ⌥+Enter on an underlined unknown name. If you use it and suffer from the fact that the name is added to the existing "from" import at the end, and not in alphabetical order, as linters want, then this option will solve your problem. It is located in Editor → Code Style → #python → Imports.

Just published #mashumaro 3.15 with the #JSONSchema plugin system! 🎉 I guess the next thing will be plugins for serialization and deserialization. Who knows, maybe this will be my ticket to strict validation and speeding up with #cython. On a side note, I believe I’m among the last developers to discontinue support for #python 3.8.

I'm curious what are all those people who got used to shorten to t.Callable, t.Mapping, t.Coroutine etc. going to write instead in the post-python 3.9 era when these imports will eventually be removed?

IDE is my enemy on the way to not use deprecated aliases from typing module in #python. Just thinking out loud.

Once again, I am convinced that limitations contribute to my productivity growth. During a four-hour flight on a plane, I solved an old unpleasant task that I had been constantly postponing. Interestingly, the solution I wrote down in my TODO app was exactly the same as I had outlined sometime in the past and forgotten about.

If you have a large tree-structured #python project in @pycharm where you’ve changed or added many files, you can make it easier to find the modules that need unit tests written or updated by enabling the option to highlight directories with changes. Go to Version Control → Confirmation → Highlight directories that contain modified files in the Project tree. Don’t forget to add new directories or files to your future commit, otherwise they won’t be highlighted.
