Codeberg Puts Head in Sand

Python 3.12.14, 3.11.16, 3.10.21 - security releases
Codebergs AI-code ban tests its role as a GitHub alternative
Brett Cannon: what's missing for reproducible builds on PyPI
- nothing records the source code a distribution came from. direct_url.json captures it when you install from a repo or archive, so the fix is putting the same info in sdist/wheel metadata.
- recording the build tools. Wheels can already do this via PEP 770 SBOMs in .dist-info/sboms/ - sdists can't, since they're a tarball plus a precalculated PKG-INFO with nowhere to hang extra metadata. Either "don't use sdists" or an sdist v2.

Love the Byte-Sized Pace

I'm always interested in learning about new tools so Python Bytes is right up my alley. The quick rundown of news each week is very cool and I inevitably end up going to the show notes to check out the links.
