Blog Post: React with Django (Part 1)

Hello!

I put up a new blog post that talks about integrating React and Django.

[https://www.codexplore.io/blog/integrating-react-and-django/](https://www.codexplore.io/blog/integrating-react-and-django/)

I am also interested in hearing how you all integrate the two.

I wrote a proof of concept pastejacker which replaces semicolon with Greek Question Mark as soon as any text is copied to clipboard. GitHub - aydwi/chaos

Hi

A few months back, I read about a malicious [clipboard hijacker discovered in PyPi](https://medium.com/@bertusk/cryptocurrency-clipboard-hijacker-discovered-in-pypi-repository-b66b8a534a8), and decided to write a tool that demonstrates how easy it is for a rogue program to mess with your system clipboard without you knowing.

To make things interesting, I built this tool around the [classic idea](https://twitter.com/peterritchie/status/534011965132120064) of replacing semicolon with a similar looking unicode character "Greek Question Mark", so that many, if not all compilers will throw cryptic error messages when such (modified) code is compiled. I've named this monstrosity `chaos`.

-------------------------------------------------------------

##### Repository: https://github.com/aydwi/chaos

--------------------------------------------------------------

Once executed, `chaos` runs as a silent daemon process and monitors the operating system clipboard. Once a change is detected, it reads, modifies and rewrites the clipboard data while preserving formatting and making sure it only ever touches textual data. So, **you copy something, but you paste something else**, without any indication of what happened.

Implementation wise, I decided to use [Qt](https://www.qt.io/) to write this, particularly because it's [QClipboard](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qclipboard.html) class is way more powerful that anything else I could find, and it has widely used Python bindings ([PyQt](https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro)) available.

Keep only the ​last day of the month in the list of dates and filter all other dates in multiple year lists​.

Lets say I have a list of all the dates in the year 2016 and 2017. Now I want to find out the last dates of months from those list of dates and remove all others.
What would be a best way to achieve this?

[D] Undergrad student: better to focus on one area (e.g. NLP) or diversify?

As an undergrad student interested in ML and with some experience in NLP, should I continue focusing on this area in my future projects and research positions? Or would it be better to diversify and seek out some projects or research involving things like computer vision? One reason I am wondering is because a lot of companies are working with computer vision in areas such as robotics and self driving vehicles so I am wondering if it would lead to better job prospects in the future. Also, which would likely be more useful for grad school (which is my main goal at the moment)?

How to update value on associate table in many to many relationship?

I have a follow model, but I don't know how to update value rating (I want user can rate the story), can I update rating value with this or I must re-declare my user\_story using class?

class Story(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
users = db.relationship(
'User',
secondary=user_story,
lazy='subquery',
backref=db.backref('stories', lazy=True)
)

class User(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)

user_story = db.Table('user_story',
db.Column('user_id', db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'), primary_key=True),
db.Column('story_id', db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('story.id'), primary_key=True),

db.Column('rating', db.Integer)
)

Help needed for test configuration

[Flask Project](https://github.com/BenLHedgepeth/flask_journal)

`FLASK_ENV` only accepts two values (`production` and `development`). I'm using classes to set the configuration depending on the environment, but how can I set `TestConfig` as the configuration object that is defined in `flask_config.config` when I execute `python tests.py`?

Django 2fa registration form



I'm trying to make my own 2fa implementation for my project. I found [this](https://github.com/Bouke/django-two-factor-auth) library. They have [this example](https://github.com/Bouke/django-two-factor-auth/tree/master/example), i'm studying it in order to understand how it all works.

I'm now running the example using py -3.7 manage.py runserver
, but i'm having some trobules understanding the following:

1) I would like to add an email address to the registration form, where do i edit the form? I tried to open the views.py
file but there is nothing there.

2) How do i edit the login form? I would like to add captcha to the form, but still, there is nothing in the views
file

A question from sqlalchemy noob about db commit

Hi everyone,

If i get an object from database with for example, `a = Model.query.get(<id>)` , then call db.session.add(a), would this affect anything?

Also, do we call db.session.add anytime other than adding a new record to database?

Thank you

Python simple image to 'ascii art' converter tutorial

Hi /r/python,

I've been playing around with Jupyter notebooks recently and thought those learning Python might appreciate this simple tutorial where we take an image, convert it into black and white pixels only and from there we turn it into a text file. It's a fun way to learn some file manipulation: [https://github.com/benWindsorCode/asciiConverter/blob/master/asciiPictureGenerator.ipynb](https://github.com/benWindsorCode/asciiConverter/blob/master/asciiPictureGenerator.ipynb)

Hope the tutorial is useful for those getting started and wanting a small project. There is lots that can be improved here such as edge detection, or using a wider range of characters in the output image. Happy coding!

building flask-sqlalchemy model from preexisting table

is there a way to use existing columns from a pandas dataframe to "automatically" generate a model/table? im trying to store output that consists of thousands of columns (flattened chroma feature data). i assume theres a way to declare characteristics other than manually, but im new to this - perhaps going about this the wrong way. thanks for any help!

Can I use OneToOneField to break up a large modal into smaller related categories?

Say for example a Book class. It has your usual name author year publisher pages isbn fields. But then it also has fields like cover_image author_image publisher_logo etc that you could regroup in a related model BookImages. And it has stuff like critics_review awards accolades back_cover_quotes review_score etc that you could categorize under a model BookReview.

And likewise for any other fields that you could group under a model that would be related to the main Book Model with a OneToOneField.

Is this a valid use case? Or is it fine to just have like 40 attributes for a model.

Django with Tornado does a good work like node.js, for real-time chats?

I was looking at a book for startups, just out of curiosity, at one point, the author says that the node is preferable to things like chat online, being an asynchronous back end and everything. But I also saw in other Django books, the authors mention Django Channels and Tornado for chats, but I have not yet seen how to integrate.

&#x200B;

In terms of performance and scalability, is there any difference between a back-end chat made with node / express and one done with Django and Tornado?
