A Mastodon post about my latest blog post, about a podcast I was on: hachyderm.io/@nedbat/109580… (everything can be solved^H^H^H^H^H^Hcomplicated with one more layer of indirection…)

Coverage․py 7.0 is out, but you might need to update your settings! Let me know how it goes… (Also at hachyderm.io/@nedbat/109539…)

I’m posting on Mastodon these days, including this announcement of a beta of coverage․py 7.0.0: hachyderm.io/@nedbat/109451… Please try it and let me know if it works or if it doesn’t!

Excited to launch Quibbler, an open-source Python package for interactive data analysis. Fun to use. Nothing to learn. Your standard code effortlessly comes to life! With the amazing Maor Kern, @kmaork. github.com/Technion-Kisho…, #python, #data

I’m not posting much here these days, but on Mastodon, I have a link to a clever way to use match/case with regexes to parse some #AdventOfCode inputs… hachyderm.io/@nedbat/109472…

New beta! Coverage․py 7.0.0b1 is out: pypi.org/project/covera… Many small improvements to path handling and combining data, plus markdown tables. Things might be broken! Let me know, please?

When running coverage, lines that should have run but didn't are called "unexecuted." What's a word for the opposite? Lines we said wouldn't run, but did: Sneaks? Surprises? Gremlins? Escapees? We need ideas! github.com/nedbat/coverag… (also need opinions about how to report...)

Does PyCharm really use its own --omit switch on the command line? Should coverage․py combine the command line and the config? Or should the command line win like it does now? github.com/nedbat/coverag…

Default values for #Python functions are stored once, and shared by all the function calls. You can (but don't!) change the object and future calls will see the changes.

Should coverage․py report on excluded lines that were actually executed? How would you want that to work? github.com/nedbat/coverag…

Looking for opinions: when combining data files, should “*/foo” match “foo/bar”? Should relative_files=True mean that we always match file paths by prefixes? github.com/nedbat/coverag…
