My use of #Matrix has really plummeted. After the last time that it wiped my bridged #IRC rooms, I decided that it isn't worth the hassle of re-adding them every 30-60 days. So now, have a few Matrix rooms (most of which are completely inactive) and one #Gitter room (bridged, I think, though the plan is for Gitter to speak the Matrix protocol soon).
I left the #Python space and the rooms it contains because one of the admins / moderators was abusive toward a room member.

I knew that a lot of #GIMP plugins are written in #Python, but until just now, I never thought about them in terms of Py2 vs Py3. I have Python2 installed, but Python3 is set as /usr/bin/python, so when I opened GIMP, I got a bunch of messages about crashed plugins.

Looking for a hostable #pastebin for longer-term pastes. #PHP or #Python preferred. Definitely not Node.JS (so Hastebin is out, even though it otherwise looks impressive).
We already have a PrivateBin for short-term pastes, but it has no concept of membership, and I really want this one to be primarily for !fnetworks members' use.
https://phpaste.sourceforge.io/ might end up being the one. It is based on the original source for pastebin.com.

#python moved. See https://www.python.org/community/irc/

And now the Freenode #python channel says "Libera channels exist".
-
@musicman I know #django moved to LiberaChat, but #python is still debating it. #haskell is moving also. I also checked #nim, but I did not see any discussion about moving.
Neither Evan nor Alex have expressed an opinion about moving #pump.io, so I suspect it will remain on Freenode. I checked #hubzilla, but there doesn’t appear to have been any discussion about it. I left #friendica after someone set up a really noisy bridgebot, so I don’t know whether they’re moving. I also left #mastodon
Freenode is the official IRC host for the GNU project, so a lot of GNU software is awaiting a decision from GNU.
(All hashtags above are names of Freenode IRC channels / rooms, some of which are in the process of moving to Libera.Chat or OFTC.)

"Welcome to #django || Following the news around Freenode on 2021-May-19, we're moving all Django related channels to https://libera.chat . ... " -- join message for irc:/irc.freenode.net/#django
I figured they would wait for !Python's PSF to decide for all #python related channels.
"Anything Python is on-topic. | ... | Libera? It's being spoken about but there's no answer. ..." -- join message for irc:/irc.freenode.net/#python

Some of these talks are using #Tcl and #SQLite to drive a Web-based application. The current talk is using !TclTk with #Python's #NumPy.

Remembering when a user had a program that required an updated version of #Python ... so I went to download the updated version. BLOCKED.
What? I contacted IT Security.
BLOCKED as a “porn site”. Apparently, there was a python dot com that was a #pr0n site, so they blocked any URL with “python” in it, including python dot org.
Me: Can you guys take a look at python.org and see that it is not the #porn site?
IT Security: No. The user just can’t use the software until there’s an approved version that ships with the updated Python it needs.
(Sometimes, supporting users means being a user advocate, tilting at windmills.)

@geniusmusing I don't know where you are in your #Python journey, but https://www.udemy.com/course/python3-for-beginners/ and https://www.udemy.com/course/python-complete/ are currently under $15 each.
They both cover #Python3

Watching some Nim Conf videos. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxLdEZg8DRwTIEzUpfaIcBqhsj09mLWHx ... but I’m not going to watch the whole playlist, at least not all tonight.
Finding the #Nim language interesting because it reminds me of !Python.
It has some similarities to #Python, at least on the surface level that the 2nd video explores, along with compiling to #C (so interfacing with C via FFI is said to be “easy”).

@corbin and his friend Cody are currently talking about #Python 2 vs 3. They're "just chatting", so they could change subjects in a minute.

@geniusmusing AFAIK he's never touched it, but he's in an online course now where he'll be using #Python, #Ruby, #JavaScript, and #C.

The #python room on #Freenode_IRC is too busy. There are also such rooms on #OFTC_IRC and #Matrix (the one I know about is on matrix.org), but they are practically ghost towns.

I’ve been doing some very introductory tutorials for #Lua. It seems pretty interesting. I don’t think it will displace #Tcl and #Python as my favorite scripting languages, but it could become the third in the set.
Seeing that tables (which are dictionaries—associative arrays—that can also act as regular arrays if numeric keys are used) are the only data structure, it sort of twists my mind into contortions trying to imagine how to structure certain kinds of data. That’s good, IMO, because history (took classes decades ago on BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, C, C++, Java, ...) predisposes me to look for arrays and records (or objects that encapsulate records) as the building blocks.
I’ve also downloaded (but not yet installed) #Erlang and #Elixir for Windows.
