“Disease combinations are often unique – anonymization of health data is therefore particularly complex” An interview on reconstruction risks by @Mimykri: https://www.heise.de/en/background/Interview-On-data-protection-risks-with-medical-research-data-11124329.html

@mkennedy I’m with you on that.

@mkennedy Ah, I see. We have the unversioned dependencies in pyproject.toml. We then update our applications with uv lock --upgrade or uv lock --upgrade-package {PACKAGE}.

@mkennedy We found the workflow with requirements.txt too error-prone, especially when the versions also had to be fixed with pip freeze. In addition, uv.lock works very well for us across platforms.

@mkennedy Ah, that explains it. We don’t use uv.lock for our libraries either, but we do use it for our applications.

@mkennedy Since you already use uv, uv-secure might be more obvious: https://github.com/owenlamont/uv-secure

@zopyx But they have a keen interest in more efficient analysis of their data.

@zopyx Both Tachyon and the JIT compiler should be of interest to many data science projects.

I took a look at the changes coming with Python 3.15 – and I can’t wait to put them to productive use. I’ve already updated our tutorials:
• utf-8 as the default encoding: https://python-basics-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/types/strings/encodings.html#unicode-and-utf-8
• Performance measurements: https://www.python4data.science/en/latest/performance/index.html#performance-measurements
• Tachyon: https://www.python4data.science/en/latest/performance/tachyon.html
• Python JIT compiler: https://www.python4data.science/en/latest/performance/index.html#python-jit-compiler

@scy Oh, I suspect that you will find it tedious for long stretches. 😴 However, sometimes such basic knowledge helps to understand a language better.

@scy That’s why we include Boolean values under numbers in our Python basics tutorial: https://python-basics-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/types/numbers/bool.html
