First-time open source contributors continue to show wide-scale interest in AI projects. But we aren’t seeing signs that AI has hurt open source with low-quality contributions.</li> </ul></li> <li>Python is now the most used language on GitHub as global open source activity continues to extend beyond traditional software development. <ul> <li>The rise in Python usage correlates with large communities of people joining the open source community from across the STEM world rather than the traditional community of software developers.</li> </ul></li> <li>There’s a continued increase in first-time contributors to open source projects. 1.4 million new developers globally joined open source with a majority contributing to commercially backed and generative AI projects. <ul> <li>Notably, we did not see a rise in rejected pull requests. This could indicate that quality remains high despite the influx of new contributors.</li> </ul></li> </ul> <p><strong>Brian #3:</strong> <a href="https://www.bitecode.dev/p/python-313-what-didnt-make-the-headlines?featured_on=pythonbytes">Python 3.13, what didn't make the headlines</a></p> <ul> <li>Some pretty cool updates to pdb : the command line Python debugger <ul> <li>multiline editing</li> <li>code completion </li> </ul></li> <li>pathlib has a bunch of performance updates</li> <li>python -m venv adds a .gitignore file that auto ignores the venv.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Michael #4:</strong> <a href="https://us.pycon.org/2025/?featured_on=pythonbytes"><strong>PyCon US 2025</strong></a></p> <ul> <li>Site is live with CFP and dates</li> <li><a href="https://us.pycon.org/2025/about/health-safety-guidelines/?featured_on=pythonbytes">Health code</a> is finally reasonable: “Masks are Encouraged but not Required”</li> <li>PyCon US 2025 Dates <ul> <li>Tutorials - May 14-15, 2025</li> <li>Sponsor Presentations - May 15, 2025</li> <li>Opening Reception - May 15, 2025</li> <li><strong>Main Conference and Online - May 16-18, 2025</strong></li> <li>Job Fair - May 18, 2025</li> <li>Sprints - May 19-May 22, 2025</li> </ul></li> </ul> <p><strong>Extras</strong> </p> <p>Brian:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://micro.webology.dev/2024/11/02/please-publish-and.html?featured_on=pythonbytes">Please publish and share more</a> - Jeff Triplett</li> </ul> <p>Michael:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/tox-dev/pre-commit-uv?featured_on=pythonbytes">pre-commit-uv</a> <ul> <li>Just spoke with Sefanie Molin <a href="https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/482/pre-commit-hooks-for-python-devs?featured_on=pythonbytes">about pre-commit hooks on Talk Python</a></li> </ul></li> <li><a href="https://blog.omnivore.app/p/omnivore-is-joining-elevenlabs?featured_on=pythonbytes">Curse you Omnivore</a>!</li> <li>We have moved to <a href="https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/?featured_on=pythonbytes">hetzner</a> </li> <li><a href="https://typora.io?featured_on=pythonbytes">Typora markdown app</a></li> <li>free-threaded Python is now available via <a href="https://docs.astral.sh/uv?featured_on=pythonbytes">uv</a> <pre><code>uv self update uv python install --python-preference only-managed 3.13t </code></pre></li> </ul> <p><strong>Joke:</strong> <a href="https://devhumor.com/media/coding-chair-vs-debugging-chair?featured_on=pythonbytes">Debugging char</a></p>
