Python Hub Weekly Digest for 2024-12-15
This week in Python, we saw a comprehensive guide on uv, a popular package manager, and a tutorial on how to evolve Emacs into a robust Python IDE. There was also a step-by-step guide on building a chat backend using Django and Wikipedia data. Other highlights include a video exploring gRPC, a REST alternative, and a tutorial on creating a web app using Python and the Taipy library. Interesting projects include Bjorn, a network scanning tool, and Langflow, a low-code app builder for AI applications. Have a great week and happy coding!
