The walrus operator in #python allows for some nasty code sometimes.

```
>>> def toto():
... return dict(a=1, b=2)
...
>>> for x in (c := toto()).keys():
... print(x)
...
a
b
>>> c
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}

President Joe Biden said Tuesday that the United States was "fully supportive" of Israel after Iran's ballistic missile attacks, describing Tehran's assault as "defeated and ineffective."

Biden said he would now discuss with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about how to respond to Iran, but that it remained to be seen what shape that response would take.

The Biden administration is trying to find Dick Cheney's Iran invasion plans, which are probably still lying around somewhere, if Donald Trump hasn't taken them Home (Mar-a-Lago). 🏴‍☠️

I remember reading an article times ago in favor of using python modules int he form of `python -m <module> <command>` instead of `<module> <command>` (e.g. `python -m pip list`, `python -m django startproject`, `python -m coverage run`, ...)

What's the best piece of text (e.g. article, docs, ...) I can share today to promote this behavior among other python projects?

#Python #BestPractise #Module

in reply to Paolo Melchiorre

If I may nitpick a little: in the `<module> <command>` form that's not actually a module you're running, it's an executable script, like an entry point. (Assuming I correctly understood what you meant) Many packages just happen to give their executable script the same name as their runnable module.

Not that it matters for the point you're making, but I have occasionally seen this confuse people who don't pick up on the difference, so if you're sharing advice I would suggest that it's useful to be precise about that point.

@pluralistic While Epic likely contributes to that, a bigger portion is what recordkeeping is required, driven by governmental requirements (ie Medicare, etc), in order to get paid, and not sued into oblivion.


#Gaza #Palestine

The US imposed sanctions on Tuesday against the radical Jewish settler gangs known as “Hilltop Youth”.

The State Department also sanctioned Israeli settler, Eitan Yardeni, for his involvement in violence targeting Palestinian civilians in the Occupied West Bank and Avichai Suissa, leader of Hashomer Yosh.

This non-governmental organisation says it helps protect settlers and recruits young volunteers for settler farms.
