Lore
A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.
At surface level, the adage emphasizes the consistency that arises when information comes from a single source and points out the potential pitfalls of having too much conflicting information.
However, the underlying message is to question the apparent certainty of anyone who only has one source of information. The man with one watch has no way to identify error or uncertainty.

Faker: Generate Realistic Test Data in Python with One Line of Code
this lib got me into momentary trouble years ago...

GraalPy is a Python language implementation, built on top of GraalVM. It is a Python 3 compliant runtime, implemented using the Truffle framework, and can be used to embed Python code in Java applications.
noticed that this is installable via uv, wondered what it was; apparently it's the new ironPython

logging libraries: Logfire, Loguru, or just Python's built-in logging?
the reddit thread oscillates btw stick with builtin logging if possible vs ooh library X is really awesome
maybe a future opener or talk will explore how to implement the most popular 3rd party lib features in the builtin logging module. volunteers welcome : )

loguru
https://github.com/Delgan/loguru
not sure what this means, wanna look into it: not multiprocess-safe, but you can enqueue the messages to ensure logs integrity.
logfire
Logfire is built on OpenTelemetry, and supports monitoring your application from any language, with particularly great support for Python

Rich is a Python library for writing rich text (with color and style) to the terminal, and for displaying advanced content such as tables, markdown, and syntax highlighted code.
from the textual guy; but this is cool:
To check if Rich was installed correctly, and to see a little of what Rich can do, run the following from the command line:
python -m rich

__init__ vs __main__
__init__.py is run when you import a package into a running python program.
__main__.py is run as '__main__' when you run a package as the main program.

lazy imports

eg Speeding up test collection with lazy imports during testing
duplicate imports are no-ops
python -X importtime to find slow imports
$ python -X importtime mycode.py 2>&1 | sort -r | head -10
