A Trip Down Memory Lane: PythonBytes Shoutout to Fades

I wanted to share a little piece that still makes me smile. Back on July 6, 2017, the awesome folks over at the PythonBytes podcast (which, by the way, is hands down my favorite Python podcast—seriously, if you're not already tuning in, do it now) gave a shoutout to a Python library that I'm particularly fond of: Fades.

For those who might not know, Fades (which stands for FAst DEpendencies for Scripts) is a tool that automatically handles Python dependencies for your scripts, so you can just focus on writing code without worrying about the setup. It's a project I help maintain, and seeing it get highlighted on such a popular platform was a huge moment for me.

The episode in question is Episode 33: You Should Build an Alexa Skill, and it covers a ton of cool Python-related stuff. But the Fades mention? That was definitely the cherry on top for me.

If you're a Pythonista looking for a way to make your script development a bit smoother, I highly recommend giving Fades a try. And if you're into Python news and updates, go ahead and subscribe to PythonBytes—trust me, it's worth it.
