    I started building a couple of years ago because I found no easy existing solution to build Slack bots that can be composed from/organized into plugins. Existing libraries like Bolt make it pretty easy to develop Slack bots, but hard to organize and scale the code base of your bot. I was also missing some crucial features such as scheduling actions for your bot. So I wrote my own framework! I recently rewrote the complete framework to make use of asyncio and the newest Slack SDK Let me know what you think!

    Hello, we just launched the alpha release of Pynecone - a way to build full-stack web apps in pure Python. The framework is easy to get started with even without previous web dev experience and is completely open source / free to use. We made Pynecone for Python devs who want to make web apps, but don’t want the overhead of having to learn or use Javascript. We wanted more flexibility than existing Python frameworks like Streamlit/Dash that don't allow the user to make real, customizable web apps. With Pynecone, you can make anything from a small data science/python project to…

    This project explores the integration of multithreading into the asyncio event loop in Python. While this was initially built with enhancing CPU utilization for FastAPI servers in mind, the approach can be used with more general async programs too. If you’re interested in diving deeper into the details, I’ve written a blog post about it here: https://www.neilbotelho.com/blog/multithreaded-async.html

    Yes, Python. I can already hear the screams from the rafters telling me how terrible of a choice Python is - but in my case, I valued modularity, extensibility, hackability over raw performance. (It was also a challenge to myself to see how far I can get without referencing existing implementations) Synchrotron processes nodes: simple Python classes with typed I/O and a render() method for processing. It can be as concise as 5 lines: class IncrementNode(Node): input: StreamInput output: StreamOutput def render(self, ctx): self.out.write(self.a.read(ctx) + 1) Nodes can then be spawned…

    Hi HN ! Alex here. I'm excited to show you Asyncpal (https://github.com/pyrustic/asyncpal), a Python library for parallelism [1] and preemptive concurrency [2] tailored for sporadic workloads [3]. I've been working on a private project where it would be convenient to have asynchronous versions of some operations without using `async/await` [4]. Besides `async/await`, which represents cooperative concurrency via the `asyncio` package, Python also provides preemptive concurrency through its `threading` package. Additionally, the `concurrent.futures` package builds…

    Hi HN, we build an open-source operating system extension for orchestrating robot swarms fully decentralized. This first beta version allows you to create fully decentralized robot swarms. The system will set up a wireless mesh network and run a p2p networking stack on top of it, such that nodes can interact with each other through various abstractions using our SDKs (Rust, Python, TypeScript) or a CLI. We hope this is a step toward better inter-robot communication (and a fun project if you have a few Raspberry Pis lying around). Our mesh network is created by B.A.T.M.A.N.-adv and we’ve…
