About me

Hey, I'm Antoine Lorence, Python developer, FOSS enthusiast, software architecture specialist and GNU/Linux fan. I live in France and have 2 children.

I started to work as professional developer after my Master's degrees, in 2010. I first worked on C++ and Java softwares, then I discovered Python. I started to use it for some tasks as a readable replacement for Bash/sh scripts, then I discovered all the incredible things that can be achieved with it. In the next years, I started to build websites with Django and various applications. I work now as a Freelancer and more recently, I extended my knowledge in various fields like frontend development or DevOps.

Notable projects

django-modern-rpc

In 2016, I had to configure an XML-RPC endpoint in a Django project I worked on. At this time RPC4Django was the most used library. Unfortunately, it didn't work with latest Django version, was not updated for a long time and the PRs opened to fix issues remained unanswered. I decided to start my own implementation, with a very similar API, but with a support for recent Python & Django versions.

The project has recently reached its first 1.0.0 stable release and is now downloaded almost 10.000 times / month.

pysvg-py

Unofficial Python 3 portage of well-known PySVG library.

Years ago, while porting a legacy project from python 2 to python 3, I discovered that PySVG library was not compatible with Python 3, and no new release were published since 2012. After quickly checking the source code, I saw that adapting the code shouldn't be a big deal. I forked the project, ran 2to3 and verified that the result worked as expected in my project.

I decided to publish it on pypi with a disclamer explaining this is an unofficial port and I was not the original author. That package seemed to be useful for others, since it is now downloaded about 5.000 times per month.
