Yeah I think that's right, they dropped setuptools from some default configurations on 3.12+. Or at least that's when distutils was removed from the standard library, and I *think* removal of setuptools from places happened at the same time, but don't take my word for that part, I might be misremembering.

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem you described, though. I made a 3.12 venv and installed and tested flake8, both from PyPI and from source, and it works fine. Could you share more details? I wouldn't mind filing a bug report if you want, but I'd have to know what I'm reporting and be able to trigger it myself.

Accessing github from work is annoying.

I hope someone else in the world files a bug soon on flake8 not being compatible with a fresh python 3.12+ virtualenv, now that setuptools 82 is out and flake8 is still using the deprecated (now removed) pkg_resources.

Looking at #correlation plots, I sometimes see R² ("R-squared") reported instead of the Pearson correlation coefficient r. While R² = r² holds in simple linear regression, reporting R² alone can mislead by omitting directionality. I have summarized the key differences between r and R² and tried to give a best-practice guide on when to use each:

If you're interested in using Python for music, whether that's algorithmic composition, computational music theory, or musicology, you've doubtless encountered music21. It's great, but can be a bit prickly. MIT has a great Open Courseware course with music21's creator, Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert, and it's really great! (Yes, that was the third time I said 'great' and that was the fourth.)

MIT OpenCourseWare

This course presents major approaches to computational music theory and musicology in the symbolic (score-based) domain.

Now I can probably mention, but I was invited by Manning Books to help on review of a Python Book.

And now it is released!

I didn't fully read it, only the chapters I reviewed, but it is a great book about design patterns.

Great and simple explanations how to use it and how to make mistakes (and fix them).

I recommend for the ones interested to improve not only python but coding skills through design patterns.
