This article by Ned Batchelder discusses a significant enhancement in measuring branch coverage with coverage.py, leveraging Python's new sys.monitoring feature introduced in Python 3.12. This improvement allows for more efficient tracking of code execution by disabling repeated event notifications once an event has been recorded, making it faster than the traditional sys.settrace method used previously.

Faster branch coverage measurement
After nearly two years, I think this is finally ready: coverage.py can use <a rel="external noopener" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.monitoring.html">sys.monitoring</a> to more efficiently measure branch coverage.
This analysis explores Satellogic's satellite constellation and its open data feed, known as Satellogic EarthView. The dataset contains millions of high-resolution images captured by Satellogic's Aleph-1 constellation, offering insights into global land use and environmental changes. By leveraging tools like Python, DuckDB, and QGIS, users can analyze and visualize these images to uncover valuable geospatial information.

This examination by Nelson Elhage investigates the performance of CPython's new tail-calling interpreter, finding that initial reports of 10-15% speedups were significantly inflated due to an unrelated LLVM 19 compiler regression affecting the comparison baseline. When benchmarked against properly optimized older versions or compilers, the actual performance gain attributable to the new interpreter implementation itself is more modest, typically in the 1-5% range.
