AFAIK, not one of those users has become a continuing part of that community, but the things that lead most reliably to these users getting the help that they want are:1) Avoid criticism of the chatbots. No room for persuasion generally, and flamewar is likely.2) Much more patience is required. Choose your questions carefully, "too many" questions will lead to withdrawal. The extreme case is a user who is consulting the chatbot and the community simultaneously.It's impossible to draw general inferences from an environment as pathological as IRC, but I would say these two points apply equally well to interpersonal interactions I have had in the local user group.The overall impression I am left with is that the tools themselves disincentivize participation in a community, and incentivize talking to other humans only for swapping tips about tools, or as a way to get someone to "just" produce source code that fixes the tool's errors.

Emelia 👸🏻Over the past few days in the small moments when I've been able to work I've been experimenting with porting Hasher-Matcher-Actioner from Flask to FastAPI, and I now have it mostly working with an existing database.It's been interesting working with python because I don't work with it much, but FastAPI still feels very much like Express in terms of how things are written — lots of building your own framework essentially, instead of "here's the given path", which can be daunting.I still need to work out Alembic and migrations, but I have it working against an existing database with the same schema. Also need to figure out building CLI tools that accompany the server, where flask has that built-in<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#python</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FastAPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FastAPI</a>

Wormius/All We Like WormsDid you know python 3.5 has a "math.isclose()" function that lets you get "close enough" for values? Relative and absolute tolerances.I was reading about Racket which has a similar function called "check-=" and thought - huh, I wonder if Python has that.And it did, but with a more "sane" pythonesque function name (sorry LISP you guys are fucking weird.
