   I am building a new Python library to read/write PDF files▲279

   Hi HN! This is my pet project, written from scratch because there is so much to discover and learn in the process. The focus is on simplicity and incremental updates. Progress is slow because I do not have much spare time to work on this, but I would love to hear some feedback. Regards

   Leaping – Debug Python tests instantly with an LLM debugger▲120

   Hi HN! We’re Adrien and Kanav. We met at our previous job, where we spent about a third of our lives combating a constant firehose of bugs. In the hope of reducing this pain for others in the future, we’re working on automating debugging. We’re currently working on a platform that ingests logs and then automatically reproduces, root causes and ultimately fixes production bugs as they happen. You can see some of our work on this here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39528087 As we were building the root-cause phase of our automated debugger, we realized that we developed…

    I wrote a book on idiomatic Python. Here's its insane build/test system▲15

    Background: I've been working on a book to help developers learn and write idiomatic Python. It's taken far longer than I imagined, but today I made it available for purchase (http://www.jeffknupp.com/writing-idiomatic-python-ebook). The automated build and test system I'm using is ridiculous. It uses: virtualenv, tox, pytest, coverage, doctest, pandoc, make, xelatex, makeindex, and a ~200 line Python script to collect and format the output. The details of the build/test system I created are described in detail here:…

    I made a platform to load and performance test API's▲30

    I built BuzzBench because I was frustrated with how complex performance testing tools have become. And I was ending up writing my own scripts to test endpoints and manually check out resource usage at the time of testing. Checkout demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAnbZMoQvmQ

    I can't write Python. It works anyway▲9

    Read an article about analyzing Garmin data with AI. Sounded great — except I didn't want to send my health data to any cloud service. So I asked Claude to write me 2-3 scripts and a dashboard. This escalated a bit. 30 days and 20$ later I have this: A local-first Garmin archive with interactive HTML dashboards, Excel exports, weather and pollen context, AES-256 encrypted token storage, and a self-healing data pipeline with 515 automated tests. Windows desktop app, no terminal needed. Nothing leaves your machine. I never wrote a line of Python. I understood the problems and made the…
