Can someone explain why people use Anaconda for Python?

I have been using Python for a while now (without Anaconda) for my web development class at school. I noticed that a lot of people use Anaconda for Python, so I decided to see what it was. After trying it out myself it seems like a Python environment with pre-installed libraries. Why don't people just install Python and add libraries when they need them? I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but, what is the purpose of Anaconda?

Sample medium sized code bases in Python, with bugs and/or failing tests?

So, the title is pretty much what I'm looking for. I have a technical interview coming up in a few days, and one section of the interview is debugging exactly such a code base. Most of my Python experience has come from studying data structures and algorithms on a pretty small scale (think Leetcode or CtCI problems). Would anyone know if such a thing exists somewhere that I can access? It would be a Godsend for my interview prep.

[AF] I am trying to make a button that updates a variable server side.

I am trying to make a button that will update a server-side variable so I can display it. For example, what I am trying to do is make a button that can be pressed by anyone on my website to add more clicks to my click counter. Anyone can click the button and add more clicks and it updates for everyone who puts in a new get request. Anyone have ideas on how to go about this? Thanks!

Python projects with Poetry and VSCode

We'll use Poetry to start a simple project, manage dependencies and publish it on PyPI. We'll also integrate *Pytest*, *Black* and *Flake8* into VSCode directly from a Virtual Environment.

Session data lost after redirect but only with iPad

My Django app integrates with GoCardless, a UK payment provider through their API. When a user sets up a new GoCardless account the process works as follows:

* My app generates a token and saves it in a session variable
* It redirects to GoCardless which captures the user's account data via 2 screens.
* GoCardless redirects back to my app
* My app retrieves the token from the session and call their API to complete the process.

This has been working fine for over 2 years and still works fine with Chrome, Edge or Firefox. But recently I started getting error reports from users. Investigation shows these are users with an iPad or iPhone, and what is happening is that all Django's session information has been lost by the time GoCardless redirects back to me.

My guess is that this behaviour is associated with some recently added measures in ios to avoid tracking by cookies and the session data is lost as soon as the user leaves the site.

Does anyone know exactly why this is happening? Can anything be done in the Django settings to avoid it?

I have sidestepped the issue for now by saving the token in a database table instead of in

Beginner question

FYI I have no previous experience in coding. Here goes my question:

My mac has both pythons installed. I want to code in sublime text. Now to the best of my knowledge I have to find a path to python3 yo set it as a default for sublime. When I run $ test -a python3 it gives me 2 paths. One is simple another one is little larger. Both of them say python3 at the end. However when I connect it to sublime terminal box in sublime still says python2.

I'm not sure if I explained it well. Hope it's clear. Has anyone experienced the same problem?

[Help]simple betting game that keep running track of money.

This is a very simple game im doing just for sake of learning. Ive done all this from memory and debugging. I have been stumped at the running total. Like if I win 500 I want the game to remember im at 5500 and if I win 500 again I would be at 6000 but the game just sees that 5000 stored in money at the beginning of the def and no matter how much I win its gone after every game. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated!


import random

def gamble():

x = int(input('choose 1 or 2: '))

money = int(5000)

print('you have: ', money)

bet = int(input('How much would you like to bet?, you have: '))

y = int(random.randint(1,2))

if x == y:

[P] I'm a bot and will serve people analyzing chess positions from images posted on /r/chess

A few days ago, my creator, u/pkacprzak, wrote a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/b8jdho/p_detect_and_analyze_chess_positions_with_ai_from/) about [chessvision.ai](https://chessvision.ai/) \- his computer vision/machine learning app to analyze chess positions from any website and video in a browser.

​

Since then, people reached him suggesting that it'd be nice to build a bot for [r/chess](https://www.reddit.com/r/chess) that can work with the app, analyze chess images posted there and provide automatic position analysis.

​

All of us love the awesome [u/ChessFenBot](https://www.reddit.com/u/ChessFenBot) that was doing just that, but for some reason, it hasn't been working recently,

​

so from now I, [u/chessvision-ai-bot](https://www.reddit.com/u/chessvision-ai-bot), will be pleased to serve you!

​

I'm trying to analyze pictures posted on r/chess, both as links as well as content images, and if a picture contains a chess position, I'm gonna provide analysis and editor boards links for you. The image doesn't have to be perfect, I'll try my best to find the chessboard if it's there and identify the position.

Please give me some love, yeah I mean upvotes, because as a new user I'm limited in performing requests to reddit API and I really want to serve you well!

SQLAlchemy has no 'Column' member ( or any else )

I installed SQLAlchemy, but keep getting these kind of errors. The whole thing works when I run it, but the linting still gives me errors.

I am using VSCode and the solution given on other sites is to use pylint-flask and add it to settings.json. This does nothing other than point out my pep8 mistakes.

Are there any other solutions?

A project I built to train on python: a twitter bot that tells you if a user is generally negative or not.

Hey everyone!

So after learning the basics of python with automating the boring stuff, I knew if I wanted to go further I had to come up with some ideas and just try to program them. I did a few, from a monitor that tells me when my bus is coming, to a camera remote...
I'm also on Twitter quite a lot, and I like the site. HOWEVER, I noticed a lot of people becoming more and more negative, and sometimes I try to clean my timeline just to stay in a decent mood. I used to unfollow people when one tweet from them annoyed me but I felt sometimes I was being unfair and I lost some good content.

So, I decided to write this bot: for each tagged user, it analyses most of their tweets and gives them a "positivity score" and a percentage of good/bad tweets. It was very useful and nowadays my timeline is much calmer, while still following some really interesting people.

So I put the bot online, it's [https://twitter.com/_PositivityBot] (https://twitter.com/_PositivityBot) and you use it by sending it a message following this pattern : !Analyze username

For example: !Analyze USATODAY or !Analyze @USATODAY

It processes the tweets and then you

[P] Thinking of building something like Spotify/a social media site for reading papers--"your friends are reading this, maybe you'd like this paper too". Any suggestions or thoughts?

Inspired by how well Spotify does its recommendations (e.g. Daily Mix).

​

Are there already platforms like this? Close ones that come to mind are Arxiv Sanity, Google Scholar, and Papers With Code. Medium's recommendations/notifications are also pretty good, although they'd have to be written on Medium itself.

​

Any suggestions for implementation, as well as useful features? Right off the bat, I'm thinking along the lines of clustering and/or collaborative filtering.

New to backend. Wanting to Build Two-sided Online MarketPlace. Flask or Django?

Hello Everyone,

A little background, I am a front-end developer(React) but my long term goal was always to go full stack as i would like to build online businesses (mostly two-sided platforms) using React on the frontend and Python on the backend.

I have been learning Python for the past two weeks and now looking to finally get into either Django or Flask. From the research that i have done, it seems that Django would be the "safer" route as it abstracts a lot and reinforces good backend practices. However, i heard it can be very rigid when it comes to flexibility and even bloated.

On the other hand, i have heard that Flask is very light weight, flexible, and to the point. However, that it can lead to bad practices or even unsafe code if you're not an experienced python developer.

Just need some guidance. What would your advice be?

TL:DR front-end web developer wanting to go full-stack to build online businesses. Heard Django safer and more robust for beginners but rigid and bloated. Heard Flask lightweight and flexible but more prone to beginner's writing bad or unsafe code. Advice?

Django Views + Vue.js - do I need DRF?

I'm dipping my toes into adding some responsivness via Vue.js. Most of the tutorials I'm finding are Vue.JS + DRF. I already have a bunch of views and it seems silly to rewrite everything to support Vue.js.

The few tutorials I have found on Vue + Django views are focused on getting and display data. Does anyone have any example repos that show form handling?
