Python-digest # 19. News, interesting projects, articles and interviews [March 16, 2014 - March 23, 2014]

We continue to collect news about python and nearby technologies. Today, the announcement of the release of Python 3.4.0 in Russian, as well as materials on debugging, profiling, distribution of applications. Articles on asyncio, context managers and django class based views, several interesting tools and libraries, and an announcement of the mitap in Moscow.

Thanks to owlman75 for the illustration, as well as to all who send news to the tool for creating digests.

Can someone help with the implementation of unpretentious spamming? My hands don't reach at all, and automatic form fillers are already starting to interfere. Thanks aduchi for a quick pull-request. Now it will be a little more comfortable.
