target: june 2023

wanted:

• pandas-2 (is pyarrow based)
• SQLalchemy-2
• python-3.11.4
• python-3.12.0 betas, with multi-interpreters early "experimental" APIs (package 'interpreters-3-12')

focus:

• barcoding eco-system (for GS1 barcodes): python-barcode, QRcode, opencv-python

exploratory:

• pycon US 2023 langage summit outcome:
  • HPy: progress as a proposal, but not yet momentum
  • nogil: killed per cpython speed-up team
  • per interpreter GIL for Python-3.12.0b2: worked-out examples at https://github.com/winpython/winpython_afterdoc/tree/master/docs/subinterpreters
• LargeLangageModel teaching per Andrew Ng:
  • 1 hour : ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers
  • 1 hour: LangChain for LLM Application Development
• LargeLangageModel on various WinPython problems: sans-Qt interface, build, clean-up, semi-automated DataScience ...
• a local LLM that could work on a gpu-less PC:
  • https://simonwillison.net/2023/May/5/mpt-7b/
  • https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
  • https://github.com/rustformers/llm
• Pyscript and JupyterLite progress.
• mamba ?

probably postponed:

• Jupyterlab-4, depends of extensions picking up very slowly ... summer slushy zone ? Extension Compatibility with JupyterLab 4.0 jupyterlab/jupyterlab#14590
• build winpython wheel out of make.py
• practice & build LLMs toolbox from factual learning examples on WinPython

assumptions:

• cPython multi-interpreters will greatly simplify multi-cpu usage,
• cPython will gain 10% speed-up per release,
• jupyterlite / pyodide is truly awesome.
• Rust is good for Python eco-system
• swift inventor brainstorms mojo (a python+), because "Python [the syntax and the eco-sytem]" has won the world,
• only ".org" langages will remain: Python, Rust, WASM, Julia, C/C++, Javascript
