Michael #1: pirel: Python release cycle in your terminal

• pirel check shows release information about your active Python interpreter.
• If the active version is end-of-life, the program exits with code 1. If no active Python interpreter is found, the program exits with code 2.
• pirel list lists all Python releases in a table. Your active Python interpreter is highlighted.
• A picture is worth many words

Brian #2: FastAPI Cloud

• Sebastián Ramírez, creator of FastAPI, announced today the formation of a new Company, FastAPI Cloud.
• Here’s the announcement blog post: FastAPI Cloud - By The Same Team Behind FastAPI
• There’s a wait list to try it out.
• Promises to turns deployment into fastapi login; fastapi deploy
• Side note: announcement includes quote from Daft Punk: Build Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
  • I just included this in a talk I’m gave last week (and will again next week), where I modify this to “Build Easier, Better, Faster, Stronger”
  • Sebastian and I are both fans of the rocket emoji.
• BTW, we first covered FastAPI on episode 123 in 2019
