Jupyter notebooks in 2024 is still not accessible.
In his #PyCascades talk, Venkatesh Potluri (who is blind) noted that popular Python libraries like matplotlib etc still can't embed alt text.
He made a patch for it, but the notebooks still don't pick up alt text.
Maybe you wanted to give a talk at #PyConUS or one of our friends like #PyTexas, #PyCascades, or #NBPy but it didn't work out? Maybe you saw or learned something that got you inspired?
#PyOhio is coming in July, and our CFP is open for the next ~20 hours -- we'd LOVE to hear from you while we still can! We gladly welcome speakers of all experience levels (❤️ new folks!) and a wide array of topics -- if you're excited about something, share it!

Boosts appreciated!
I am loving the PyLadies panel at @pycascades 💖💖💖
@mariatta's efforts as a core Python developer to the development tools and making sure the #Python language summit is not all men ever again is truly incredible.
@christyheaton shared how her organizing work started and how it was really helpful to just jump in and start giving talks. Find a topic or project you like (in her case mapping in Python) and just speak about it everywhere!
Relaxed at a cat cafe before #PyCascades. This cuddly kitten, Pearl, took up most of my time 😻 The Whole Cat and Kaboodle in Kirkland. #cats
I felt inspired about Python typing after watching
Piper Thunstrom's talk at #PyCascades this morning.
On her talk, she mentioned typing.Union as one of the useful typing features.
I've used typing.Union on the version of Python before the | symbol was introduced. As you can imagine, it is the source for the typo of the day "from typing import Onion".

@bengerman kicked off @pycascades 2024 in Seattle! 🎉 
#python #conference #PyCascades
I have a #PyConUS / #Seattle “missed contact" question; I spoke to a Tammy who was at #PyCascades and PyCon US, and we talked about GitHub's contribution graph; if anyone knows who that is, can you put her in touch? Thanks!
Things I’ve been thinking about a lot lately:
- code design pressure (good: testability, bad: coupling business code with validation and/or storage – interestingly there’s been a #PyCascades talk about just that, framed using an obscure German mathematician)
- type state pattern, or: why I don't use state machines. This has nothing to do with static types but a continuation of “make illegal state unrepresentable”. Practically, this means that you’ll rarely see an `| None` in my class fields.
