Project Updates: GeoPandas 1.2.0 is out, headlined by a re-implemented static plotting system that remains mostly backward-compatible. Read the full release notes: hubs.la/Q04zk4hK0
Project Update: Polars now makes it simple to see what a query is doing. Add one line, pl.Config.enable_monitoring(), to profile any query, watch its progress, and find where to optimize.
Give Me 5, Season 3, Episode 2 is now live! Join MK as he sits down with Abby Tse to talk about her journey from engineer to community leader.
Watch now on the PyData YouTube (link in comments)
Abby Tse is currently an MBA student at Columbia and a former IBM engineer with a strong technical background. Beyond her engineering skills, Abby demonstrates leadership and community-building abilities as the chair of meetups in Boston and NYC, bringing people together and fostering valuable professional connections. Her combination of technical expertise, growth mindset, and leadership experience makes her a great fit for GM5.
Give Me 5 Season 3, Episode 2 is dropping TOMORROW, featuring Abby Tse!

Project Update: Python-Blosc2 4.13.1 makes working with remote data much easier. Remote arrays now default to lazy access, cached metadata allows instant warm reopens, and you can run cross-format computations across HDF5, Zarr, and B2Z directly in the cloud, all in a single expression. The release also adds native Windows on ARM64 wheels, human-readable disk cache directories, and direct local HDF5 reads via h5py. The team thanks the fsspec and kerchunk teams for their backend support.

September's Max the Stack officially closed — but if you missed the ask, here’s one more chance to be part of what it funded this fall: grants, releases, workshops, and the maintainers keeping it all running. Max the Stack: hubs.la/Q04z5jcP0
Last day of Max the Stack. Every gift and every sponsorship this month goes directly toward keeping open source scientific computing funded through fall and winter. Thank you to everyone who’s already given — there’s still time to join them. Max the Stack: hubs.la/Q04ylYVm0
