Michael #2: umami and umami-analytics

  • Umami makes it easy to collect, analyze, and understand your web data — while maintaining visitor privacy and data ownership.
  • umami-analytics is a client for privacy-preserving, open source Umami analytics platform based on httpx and pydantic.
  • Core features
  • ➕ Add a custom event to your Umami analytics dashboard.
  • 🌐 List all websites with details that you have registered at Umami.
  • 🔀 Both sync and async programming models.
  • ⚒️ Structured data with Pydantic models for API responses.
  • 👩‍💻 Login / authenticate for either a self-hosted or SaaS hosted instance of Umami.
  • 🥇Set a default website for a simplified API going forward.

Brian #3: pytest-suite-timeout

  • While recording Python Test 213 : Repeating Tests
    • I noted that pytest-repeat doesn’t have a timeout, but pytest-flakefinder does.
    • And perhaps I should add a timeout to pytest-repeat
  • But also, maybe there’s other places I’d like a timeout, not just with repeat, but often with other parametrizations and even parametrize matrices.
  • So, pytest-suite-timeout is born
  • But Why not pytest-timeout? asks Mike Felder
    • timeout is only timeouts per test, and it isn’t always graceful
    • suite-timeout is for the full suite, and only times out between tests.
    • so, you could use both

Michael #4: Listmonk and (py) listmonk

  • Listmonk
    • Self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager (think mailchimp)
    • Built on Go and Vue
    • Backed by a company charing for this service as SaaS
    • Still requires a mail infrastructure backend (I’m using Sendgrid)
  • listmonk (on PyPI)
    • API Client for Python
    • Created by Yours Truly
    • I tried 4 other options first, they were all bad in their own way.
    • Features:
    • ➕Add a subscriber to your subscribed users.
    • 🙎 Get subscriber details by email, ID, UUID, and more.
    • 📝 Modify subscriber details (including custom attribute collection).
    • 🔍 Search your users based on app and custom attributes.
    • 🏥 Check the health and connectivity of your instance.
    • 👥 Retrieve your segmentation lists, list details, and subscribers.
    • 🙅 Unsubscribe and block users who don't want to be contacted further.
    • 💥 Completely delete a subscriber from your instance.
    • 📧 Send transactional email with template data (e.g. password reset emails).
  • These pair well in my new docker cluster infrastructure
    • Calls to the API from a client app (e.g. Talk Python Training) are basically loopback on the local docker bridge network.
