Did you know the Python Software Foundation is hiring! With the recent support of three Visionary Sponsors, the PSF has been able to open positions for a developer-in-residence and a Python packaging project manager. Real Python now has a monthly Python news article. Frequent guest of the show, David Amos compiles and summarizes the biggest Python news from the past month.

This week on the show, David Amos is back, and he’s brought another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects. We discuss David’s news article from the last month. We also discuss previous guest Jon Fincher’s new step-by-step tutorial about creating a platform game with the arcade framework.

We cover several other articles and projects from the Python community including, how to use ipywidgets to make your Jupyter notebook interactive, the hidden performance overhead of Python C extensions, adding else to for loops, film simulations from scratch using Python, a gradual programming language named Hedy, and a Python raytracer.
