Uncommon Uses of Python in Commonly Used Libraries (2022)

news.ycombinator.com Eugene Yan 2026-02-05 05:12:07

To learn how to build more maintainable and usable Python libraries, I’ve been reading some of the most widely used Python packages. Along the way, I learned some things about Python that are off the beaten path. Here are a few things I didn’t know before.

It’s usually used in the __init__ method. While this might be simply a nice-to-ha

I recently shipped Context, a native macOS app for debugging MCP servers. The goal was to build a useful developer tool that feels at home on the platform, powered by Apple's SwiftUI framework. I've been building software for the Mac since 2008, but this time was different: Context was almost 100% built by Claude Code1.
