This week in Python brings us a toe-to-toe showdown between two Rust-powered Python type checking tools. We even have a mild introduction to kind hinting, a take a look at the perils—and guarantees—forward for a free-threaded, no-GIL Python, and a stunning exposé (okay, simply kidding) of the most recent malware assaults focusing on machine studying builders, this time delivered by way of PyPI.
