Brian : Migrating from mypy to ty: Lessons from FastAPI Tim Hopper I saw this post by Sebastián Ramírez about all of his projects switching to ty FastAPI, Typer, SQLModel, Asyncer, FastAPI CLI SqlModel is already ty only - mypy removed This signals that ty is ready to use Tim lists some steps to apply ty to your own projects Add ty alongside mypy Set error-on-warning = true Accept the double-ignore comments Pick a smaller project to cut over first Drop mypy when the noise exceeds the signalAdd ty alongside mypy Related anecdote: I had tried out ty with pytest-check in the past with difficulty Tried it again this morning, only a few areas where mypy was happy but ty reported issues At least one ty warning was a potential problem for people running pre-releases of pytest, Not really related: packaging.version.parse is awesome Michael : Oxyde ORM Oxyde ORM is a type-safe, Pydantic-centric asynchronous ORM with a high-performance Rust core. Note: Oxyde is a young project under active development. The API may evolve between minor versions. No sync wrappers or thread pools. Oxyde is async from the ground up Includes oxyde-admin Features Django-style API - Familiar Model.objects.filter() syntax Pydantic v2 models - Full validation, type hints, serialization Async-first - Built for modern async Python with asyncio Rust performance - SQL generation and execution in native Rust Multi-database - PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL support Transactions - transaction.atomic() context manager with savepoints Migrations - Django-style makemigrations and migrate CLI Brian : Typeshedded CPython docs Thanks emmatyping for the suggestion Documentation for Python with typeshed types Source: typeshedding_cpython_docs Michael : Raw+DC Database Pattern: A Retrospective A new design pattern I’m seeing gain traction in the software space: Raw+DC: The ORM pattern of 2026 I’ve had a chance to migrate three of my most important web app. Thrilled to report that yes, the web app is much faster using Raw+DC Plus, this was part of the journey to move from 1.3 GB memory usage to 0.45 GB (more on this next week) Extras Brian: Lean TDD 0.5 update Significant rewrite and focus Michael: pytest-just (for just command file testing), by Michael Booth Something going on with Encode httpx : Anyone know what's up with HTTPX?
