datasette-ports 0.4

Simon Willison released datasette-ports 0.4 on 12th October 2026, updating his plugin that detects and lists all Datasette instances on the current machine to work with the latest Datasette version and to display each detected instance's PID. Willison said knowing the PID makes it easier to attach the new Python 3.15 sampling profiler.
