Learn remote MCP trade-offs and patterns for Anthony Shaw poses the question: Python has had async for 10 years, so why isn't it more popular? He dives deep on where async is useful and where it is limited. Associated Don't miss Glean's product launch on Sept 25th."
"Online Python training created by a community of experts. Give your team the Python: Capture Stdout and Stderr in Unittest When testing code that outputs to the terminal through either standard out (stdout) or standard error (stderr), you might want to capture that output and make assertions on it.

Durable MCP servers can run for days, survive failures, and orchestrate elicitations and LLM sampling, with trade-offs for remote operation and patterns for resilience. Python's async capabilities have existed for a decade; analysis contrasts where async is beneficial versus where it shows limitations. A product launch on Sept 25 presents a personalized Assistant with agent coding and engineer-led demos. Testing guidance describes capturing stdout and stderr in unittest to assert terminal output. Python 3.14 adds REPL syntax highlighting and supports customizable color schemes. A concise history traces Python's evolution, PEP 794 on import name metadata is accepted, a 2025 type-system survey is noted, and Django security releases were issued.
