I'll be speaking at PyCon Germany 2025! 🎉

Should I have told you before the event actually starts? ... Maybe.

Despite being terrible at talking myself up, I'm sharing my talk "Going Global: Taking code from research to operational open ecosystem for AI weather forecasting".

In this session, I'll chronicle the journey of Anemoi, from experimental code by a small research team to a robust ecosystem supporting 40+ developers across multiple international weather agencies. We'll explore:

• Evolving from research notebooks to a structured package ecosystem
• Managing 300+ configuration options with Hydra
• Implementing model sharding for global weather predictions
• Integrating modern ML tooling with traditional meteorological systems
• Practical lessons on scaling Python ML systems

I wrote strata to save myself a ton of time, and maybe it can help you too!

Check it out: github.com/retran/strata

It lets you draw all model textures consistently in one layered PSD and export them directly for #GodotEngine.

Yes, it added #Python to my build pipeline, but totally worth it! 😉

Anyway, strata can also be used as a standalone tool – see the releases on GitHub.

I‘m wondering if the new #Python t-strings have format options like f-strings, separated by a colon. When processing them you’d have to do the formatting yourself, but it would be nice if the way of passing formatting info to would match f-strings. I’ll have to read the PEP again…

For today's homework assignment, I have to write a #python script that would be plausibly useful in a #localization workflow. If that sounds very broad, that's because it is, and it's been hard coming up with decent ideas. So, I'm opening up the #SuggestionBox! Give me ideas, and I will make one of them.
Nothing is too niche here: if you're the only person who would ever need it, that still counts and I'd be happy to write you a script. (To the best of my ability.)
