👋 Build Engineer @ Mcd Tech Labs. Heard of pants when evaluating our Bazel stack vs. other offerings. Python-lover who loves tools/tooling as well as infrastructural libraries

Oh cool! What are your favorite infra libraries?

Testing

pytest

(obviously) Fan of

click

(although I did have a butting of heads with the maintainer 😅 )

attrs

, and

requests

are also up there.

requests

big fan of

attrs

here, it really really changed the way I write python

Usually, when I find a library I like, I go look at what it's implemented using 🙂

I do like

click

, shouted it out in an interview I did a while back when they asked about favorite libraries

It's by far the least-bad CLI toolkit (I don't think there could ever be a "good" one, just varying levels of bad) I just wish it was open a little more to accepting contributions/additional pluggable functionality

Yeah. Pants team makes a point of being very open to welcoming contributions of all kinds, and being extensible as heck so it can be used very flexibly regardless of what maintainers accept into core.

I forgot the best infrastructure of all 🤦‍♂️ The standard library! 🎉

Indeed. Python rocks.
