Development Sprints
WHEN WILL SPRINTS TAKE PLACE?
Monday, May 20, 2024 8:00am – Thursday, May 23, 2024 11:00pm EST - Sprints will be held in rooms 308-311 and 315-321 and are free to attend with a PyCon US registration. NOTE: Please be familiar with the PyCon US Health & Safety Guidelines. Sprint days are part of the conference and only registered attendees of PyCon US can participate due to the guidelines put in place for the 2024 conference.
Development sprints are a key part of PyCon US, and a chance for the contributors to open-source projects to get together face-to-face for four days of intensive learning, development and camaraderie. Newbies sit with gurus, go out for lunch and dinner together, and have a great time while advancing their project.
Why not join the sprints this year at PyCon US? by Naomi Ceder
WHAT'S A SPRINT?
PyCon US Development Sprints are four days of intensive learning and development on an open source project of your choice, in a team environment. It's a time to come together with colleagues, old and new, to share what you've learned and apply it to an open source project.
In the crucible of a sprint room, teaming with both focus and humor, it's a time to test, fix bugs, add new features, and improve documentation. And it's a time to network, make friends, and build relationships that go beyond the conference.
PyCon US provides the space and infrastructure (network, power, tables & chairs); you bring your skills, humanity, and brainpower (oh! and don't forget your computer).
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
You! All experience levels are welcome; sprints are a great opportunity to get connected with, and start contributing to your favorite Python project. Participation in the sprints is free and included in your conference registration. Please go to your attendee profile on your dashboard and indicate the number of sprint days you will be attending.
WHO CAN RUN A SPRINT?
You! If you've never run a sprint before, the In-Person Event Handbook is an excellent guide.
Instructions for adding a sprint project to this page are below.
WHAT'S THE SCHEDULE?
Sprints run all day from Monday, May 20th through Thursday, May 23rd. That's 8:00am to 11:00pm EST. Lunch will be provided.
WHERE WILL THE SPRINTS BE?
The Sprints will take place at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Each Sprinting project will claim its own room or if the room is large enough, it will share the space with other Sprinting Projects.

commitizen
Commitizen is a release management tool designed for teams. Commitizen assumes your team uses a standard way of committing rules. From that foundation, it can bump your project's version, create the changelog, and update files. By default, commitizen uses conventional commits, but you can build your own set of rules and publish them. Using a standardized set of rules to write commits makes commits easier to read and enforces writing descriptive commits.

Building Python Data App with Plotly and Dash
In efforts to make Plotly Dash the most widely-used open source library in the world for creating data apps in Python, we have built an example Dash app platform for people to learn Dash. https://dash-example-index.herokuapp.com/ This platform supports the community in learning Plotly and Dash by offering them simple examples of interactive apps. Our goal for this Sprint Project is to develop more Dash app examples for the community. Currently there are 91 examples. Our aim is to reach 100 example apps. We will work with the project's GitHub repo: https://github.com/AnnMarieW/dash-app-gallery This Sprint is open to all. Dash experience will likely lead to more apps created, but Python newcomers are welcome to join as well, because learning to build apps with Dash takes 20 minutes. If you are new to Dash, make sure to review this tutorial before the Sprint: https://dash.plotly.com/tutorial If approved, the Sprint will take place on Monday, May 20, at 8am, and it will be led by Plotly's Community Manager, Adam Schroeder.

RouteE
RouteE is a suite of open-source tools developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The primary tools that will be included in the sprint are RouteE Powertrain and RouteE Compass. RouteE Powertrain enables researchers to obtain energy estimates for any vehicle type—including existing and futuristic vehicles—for trips or routes where detailed drive cycle data may be unavailable. RouteE Compass is an energy-aware routing engine that uses RouteE Powertrain to predict energy consumption during shortest path searches and allows exploration of energy/time tradeoffs in route planning. We'll be sprinting on a variety of general issues and fixes as well as some new functionality.

aio-libs
aio-libs is a collection of asyncio-based libraries. Many of them often targets to build an async-native implementation of their non-async counterpart libraries that already exist, or to provide a better, faster versions of them. In this sprint, we're going to work on some hanging issues and implement new features, including aiodocker, aiomonitor, and maybe other projects under the aio-libs umbrella. Also it is welcome to discuss extended taskgroup API designs.

PyO3
PyO3 is a Rust project which makes it possible to build Python software implemented in Rust, to tap into Rust's power and precision when you need it (or just for fun!). We still lack the ability define a Python class from Rust which inherits from a pure-Python class. This is a desirable but complex feature and it needs people to sit down and explore ways forward. It would be awesome to come up with a plan or even a PR this sprint. Alternatively, if you'd like to come along for any other reason, e.g. to contribute some smaller pieces to PyO3, or just learn how to get started building an extension module in Rust, that is very welcome too!

btypes is an easy to use high performance bit field protocol framework for working with packed binary data. It's ideal for things like verilog interfaces, and any situation where:
- you are working with arbitrarily sized bitfields
- you need precise convenient control of the bit arrangement
- you would like pythonic syntax
- without sacrificing performance.

Extending wheel metadata for variant support
Software packages can be built in many different ways, including different build options, linked libraries, and targeted hardware. GPU support is one such application, and these packages have demonstrated the need for a better way to distinguish between different variants of a given project. This topic was discussed at the packaging summit. Slides are at https://bit.ly/pycon-packaging-metadata-2024 Background: https://discuss.python.org/t/what-to-do-about-gpus-and-the-built-distributions-that-support-them/7125 https://discuss.python.org/t/selecting-variant-wheels-according-to-a-semi-static-specification/53446 Goals of this sprint: - write pep proposal for adding hash to platform tag -brainstorm on what the user experience of installing a variant should look like - brainstorm on impact of variants on environment creation/“hydration” - brainstorm on how to minimize “dynamic behavior” which means calling some function that might not always return the same value.
