Been encoding videos for the new Textualize.io site. This video is going in the hero section. It's a teaser of Textual. I suspect we'll update this video from time to time when new features come online.

How can you break out of a #python double loop? Use a generator to make it a single loop instead! More tips about iteration at nedbatchelder.com/text/iter.…

Also: you can also use variables (or expressions?!) for the formatting information!

String formatting in #Python lets you left-, right-, or center-justify a value. You can specify the fill character to use. The syntax is colon, fill-char, <^>, width:

Based on how much I see written about string formatting, we definitely need more resources explaining it.
Ideally (one day...) the official Python docs will include a section that demonstrates string formatting in more a digestible way (❤ the docs, but some bits are too dense)

I'd sitting on an article on string formatting for weeks without realizing fstring.help would exist just before I published it! 😆
pym.dev/string-formatting/ is long while fstring.help is short. I plan to link to both in my teaching materials. 💓
Yesterday, I launched fstring.help: A short, example-based reference for #Python f-string syntax. Turns out being able to show it in a @PyConDE lightning talk was a great motivation for finally launching it!

#Python's string formatting syntax can be customized in some very complex but very powerful ways.
In its most basic form, you can inject a variable into a string:
>>> name = "Trey"
>>> text = f"My name is {name}"
Or an expression:
>>> more = f"It has {len(name)} letters"

A couple of years ago, I wrote a #Python script to archive my arXiv voting records from @astrocrash's VoxCharta for #astro papers.
It is now my go-to repo to test out new tools and libraries such as @willmcgugan's Rich and @tiangolo's Typer.
