Hi guys, I know that my newsletter is still a little late but you can’t imagine how busy I’ve been… I just hope this strange and super-stressful period will end soon…

However, the good news is that I’m back with a new article for “The Python Corner” about writing viruses in Python! You will find this and other interesting articles as my monthly reading suggestions for you.

The last one is a little “bonus” link about a discussion between Linus Torvalds and a No-Vax user on the Linux Kernel discussion list. I hope this will not hurt anyone’s sensibility, I’m fully vaccinated but I’m not a Pro-Vax nor a No-Vax, I just found it a fun read. :)

Hi guys, I’ve been very busy in the last two months and I couldn’t add any articles to the site or send any newsletters to my fellow readers. I’m so sorry for that, but I hope you will forgive me with this rich newsletter and the articles I’m writing and that will be published soon, so… stay tuned!

Before the monthly links, as always, let me remember you that if you like The Python Corner you can help me keep up all this work with a donation by PayPal or by . Every single dollar is important to keep alive this place and hopefully, one day I will be able to keep the site alive just with the donations of the readers and making the site totally ads-free… quoting : :)

Hi guys! I know, I know… this month’s newsletter is very late… :( However, even if it’s the last day of March, I collected something worth to be read and that I want to share with you.

I’m not going to steal you any more time, thanks to all the people that have donated to “The Python Corner” by PayPal or by buying us a coffee (you make this possible) and… Enjoy!

Hey guys! Did you enjoy last weekend with your Valentine? I really hope so! But now it’s time to back to Python stuff right?

In this case, this month’s newsletter is right for you. We have the first version of Python running on Apple Silicon, a cool new feature for the next version of Python, some tips about configuring VSCode, and so on.

Just another thing before leaving you to the links section.

I’ve started a (newsletter?) where I write about everything I like… mostly technology stuff… but the idea is that will be my personal site, not a “Python-related” site. If you want to know more, point your browser to https://mastro35.substack.com/ and feel free to subscribe and comment, let’s make it an interesting place to visit!

Hi folks! In this month’s selection you will find two articles from my site, an interesting interview with a designer that tried to redraw the official Python logo, and some advice on useful Python libraries that you will love… but also chess, PyCon, Anya Taylor-Joy…

Ok, enjoy this month’s selection and … happy coding!

Ok guys, this 2020 is finally ending!

It has been a tough year for everyone because of all these COVID restrictions but I want to believe that 2021 will be a far better year.

For this last month of the year, I’ve selected five articles that I hope you will enjoy. I strongly recommend the last one I’ve linked by Nikita Leshenko … what a tutorial guys! You can’t miss it!

Before the monthly links, let me thanks all the people that have read my articles, shared them with other devs, and supported me, my site, and my work by donating a couple of bucks. You’ve been great guys and I want you to know that I’ve really appreciated that.

Hi guys, sorry if this month the newsletter is a little bit late but I have been very busy at work.

However, today I had a day off because I’m a blood donor and this is my donation day and so… here I am! :)

By the way, before talking about Python, let me say a word about blood donation. If you’ve never thought about becoming a donor, please consider it. It’s something really easy, absolutely not hurtful, and can make a lot of difference. I started some years ago because I had a friend with cancer in a terminal stage. Each time I went to visit him in the hospital he was worse and worse. One of the last times I saw him, I entered the hospital room and found him standing up. He smiled at me and looked better than usual. I told him that he looked great and he said that he had had a transfusion earlier that day and that because of it he was feeling better and stronger, and his morale was higher than usual. That day I realized that by a simple donation that has no cost for you, you can help other people that are in such a terrible situation, to feel better, and even if it is just for five minutes, I think it’s worth it.

Ok, let’s back to Python now and enjoy this month’s selection! :)

Hi everyone!

This month I have selected four Python articles for you that I’m sure you will like.

The first two are about the language. The first is for writing Pythonic code and the second discusses the difference between sync and async Python.

The other two are about Python 3.9 that has been released on October the 11th and trust me: it’s a great release!

Hi everyone, this September issue will focus on hash tables and their primary Python implementation: dictionaries.

I collected three different articles here specific on this topic, the first one is an article I wrote and that probably has been read by many of you directly on and the other twos are great contributions to the same topic I found really useful and super enjoyable.

Ok, guys, for this hot summer I have selected for you three links for any audience level, three contributions to the Python world that I am sure you will enjoy reading under the umbrella.

Let me also send a message to my friend Adam: I didn’t forget to post our articles, they’re in the pipeline for the September or October issue, stay tuned! ;)

Enjoy this month’s selection and … happy Pythoning guys!

This month’s Links

Hi guys, here we are for the second issue of our new monthly newsletter! This month I have chosen for you four links that I have found very interesting. The first two links are for Pythonistas who want to improve their Python knowledge and are about concurrency in Python and how to implement the Factory method design pattern. The third link will teach you a weird aspect of Python that I’m sure you didn’t know about and the fourth link is about memory management and why you should be aware of if even when you’re working with a language like Python.

Enjoy this month’s selection and … happy Pythoning guys!

The Python Corner monthly newsletter, May 2020

When I first started this newsletter, the only thing I wanted to do was giving my audience some links to valuable content online each month.

So I started collecting articles and links in my Instapaper account, and I created an automatic newsletter on Mailchimp based on the RSS feed of my Instapaper account.

In this way, I could prepare this newsletter with a low effort, but at what price? I got a poor result for a poor newsletter. And that’s not what I wanted.
