# June 2026: Pycon, Constrained Problems, and remote_exec
Pycon US 2026 is over, so let’s have a recap! Including:
## Python 3.14 remote_exec
Have you seen a Western in which the hero gallops up alongside a speeding train and leaps aboard? Wouldn’t you like to do that in Python?
Python 3.14 introduces remote_exec, enabling you to attach to, run code in, and debug a Python program running in another process without any preparation - perfect to figure out what’s going on in a long-running program without restarting it.
## Constrained Problem Solvers follow-up
In March 2026, Rodrigo Girão Serrão showed us conceptually how many complex questions can be expressed as a set of truth statements - which are all that a program called a Constrained Problem Solver needs to find a solution. We didn’t get quite as far as applying the concept to working code, so we’ll follow through and do it now.
## Discuss Discord consolidation
We should also discuss folding the DDL Discord channel into the existing Gem City Tech discord. Don’t let me forget!
***
Discussion of technology and techniques related to dynamic programming languages: Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, and sometimes something more exotic! These languages are fun and easy to get started with, yet powerful enough for all manner of professional use, and our members span the full range of experience with them.
We always leave time for general conversation and questions. Come try one of the most interactive groups around!
The Dayton Dynamic Languages User Group meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 7 to 9 PM. We have in person meetings at The Innovation Hub and we use Discord for a live feed of the meetings, using the General voice channel at https://discord.gg/9SgTh3T
