[1] A long needed feature of markata has been the ability to really configure out templates with configuration rather. It’s been long that you needed that if you really want to change the style, meta tags, or anything in the head you needed to write a plugin or eject out of the template and use your own. Adding some Head # [2] Now you can add some extra style to your site with the existing built-in template. [[markata.head]] text = """ <style> img { width: 100%; height: auto; } ul { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } </style> """ You can have more than one Head # [3] Each text entry in markata.head just gets appended raw into the head. [[markata.head]] text = """ <style> img { width: 100%; height: auto; } ul { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } </style> """ [[markata.head]] text = """ <script> console.log('hey there') </script """ Still need more? # [4] If this does not take you far enough yet, you can still eject out and use your own template pretty easy. If you are going for a full custom site it’s likely that this will be the workflow for awhile. Markata should only get better and make this required less often as it matures.

Looking for inspiration? markata-slides [1] by WaylonWalker [2]. A slides plugin for markata that allows you to create presentations in markdown from the comfort of your favorite editor. Each new h2 tag (## in markdown) becomes a new slide. This plugin leverages the built-in feeds plugin for navigation, and adds in some hotkeys (j/k) to go the the previous and next slides.

I’m really getting into using hatch as my go to build system, and I am really liking it so far. I am slowly finding new things that just work really well. hatch new is one of those things that I didn’t realize I needed until I had it. [1] creating new versions created by myself with stable diffusion [2] ❯ pipx run hatch new --help Usage: hatch new [OPTIONS] [NAME] [LOCATION] Create or initialize a project. Options: -i, --interactive Interactively choose details about the project --cli Give the project a command line interface --init Initialize an existing project -h, --help Show this message and exit. Note! I am running all of these commands with pipx. I like to use pipx for all of my system level cli applications. To emphasis this point in the article I am going to use pipx run hatch, but you can pipx install hatch then just run hatch from there. Interacively create a new project # [3] Running hatch new -i will ask let you interactivly choose details about the project, such as the project’s name. pipx run hatch new -i After running and naming the project Hatch New we end up with the following filetree. ❯ tree . . ├── hatch_new │   ├── __about__.py │   └── __in...

Hatch has an amazing versioning cli for python packages that just works. It takes very little config to get going and you can start bumping versions without worry. [1] creating new versions created by myself with stable diffusion project layout # [2] For trying out the hatch version cli let’s make a simple project with the terrible name pkg. ❯ tree . . ├── pkg │   ├── __about__.py │   └── __init__.py ├── pyproject.toml └── README.md 1 directory, 4 files pyproject.toml # [3] The main hero of this post is the pyproject.toml. This is what defines all of our PEP 517 [4] style project setup. [project] name = "pkg" description = "Show how to version packages with hatch" readme = "README.md" dynamic = [ "version", ] [build-system] requires = [ "hatchling>=1.4.1", ] build-backend = "hatchling.build" [tool.hatch.version] path = "pkg/__about__.py" statically versioning # [5] project.version It is possible to set the version number inside the pyproject.toml statically. This is fine if you just want to version your package manually, and not through the hatch cli. [project] name = "pkg" version = "0.0.0" # ... Statically versioning in pyproject.toml will not work with hatch ...

Markata is a great python framework that allows you to go from markdown to a full website very quickly. You can get up and running with nothing more than Markdown. It is also built on a full plugin architecture, so if there is extra functionality that you want to add, you can create a plugin to make it behave like you want. Full transparancy… I built markata.

I spoke at python webconf in March 2022 about how I deploy this blog on a continuous basis. Building this blog has brought me a lot of benefits. I have a set of custom curated notes to help describe a problem and how to solve it to me. At theis point it’s not uncommon to google an Issue I am having and finding my own blog with exactly the solution I need at the top. I also bump into people from time to time that recognize me from the blog, its a nice conversation starter, and street cred. The Talk # [1] The talk recently released on Youtube, you can watch it without having a ticket to the conference for free. There were a bunch of other talks that you should check out too! https://youtu.be/JDZVjDCTKHE References: [1]: #the-talk

I got all the pypi packages that I own behind 2 factor authentication. 💪 Recently this really made it’s rounds in the python news since pypi was requiring critical package maintainers to have 2FA on and even offering them hardware tokens to help them turn this on. I feel like this caused a bit of confusion as turning on 2FA does not mean that you need to do anything different to deploy a package, and it DOES NOT require a hardware token. You can continue using your favorite 2FA app. You might wonder what this means for my projects. It means that to edit any sensitive content such as pull a new api token, add/remove maintainers, or deleting a release I need to use a TOPT (time based one time password) application such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, or FreeOTP. This has very little change to my overall workflow as my CI system still automatically deploys for me with the same api token as before. This is one small thing that maintainers can do to prevent supply chain attacks on their projects that they put so much work into. Login # [1] When I log in I now get this extra screen asking for an auth token. [2] My packages # [3] Once I turned on 2FA...
