Partner for a Social Welfare Web App? (built on flask)

Hi guys,

I am a student with experience in Python, Flask, MySQL and HTML. I am currently in the process of building a web app to track general health information of impoverished children living in my area. This is a tech solution to an event that is ongoing (in jeopardy now due to Covid19 :( ) Privately message me for further details, or any other questions about this project!

Advice on getting started with Channels, ultimately to be deployed to Heroku

Hello experts, I'm about to start a Django project where I will use Channels for the first time. Users will get views "pushed" to them as part of a market research activity (answering questions together as a group while on video chat etc).

I will be hosting on Heroku when it's live. I'm in the process of reading tutorials, walkthroughs etc and I have a couple of questions please.

Context:

* Installing channels is fine - **pip install channels**
* I know I need a backend and have no reason not to go with the standard Redis. But there are so many different ways I'm totally confused what to do:
* The [Channels tutorial](https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/part_1.html) recommends a docker install.
* [Redis themselves](https://redis.io/download#installation) use a wget procedure to build from source...
* [This](https://realpython.com/getting-started-with-django-channels/) realpython walkthrough recommends installing **asgi\_redis** and then **brew install redis**.
* [Heroku themselves](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-redis#connecting-in-python) take a different tack with **pip install redis** and **django-redis-cache**

To my questions:

1. Let's assume that I want a vanilla setup, because I'm new that this, and given that I will be deploying to Heroku, which goes through requirements.txt to install all the right packages, is the Heroku path the right way

My Python Youtube channel just hit 20,000 subscribers - buildwithpython

Hey guys,

About a 2 years ago, I started a YouTube channel because I wanted to learn python. Teaching is the best way to learn. Both the channel and I have come a long way.

I wanted to thank the Python community for being so awesome. Thank-you for sticking around.

If someone is curious about the channel - youtube.com/c/buildwithpython

Or you can just search for buildwithpython on YouTube.

Just wanted to share my happiness with the community :)

Building a multiplayer chess game with Channels

Hey guys,

I've been learning django-channels lately and wanted to make a small project to understand how it works better so I thought about building a site where you can create a new game room and play chess with other people.

I've been researching the best way to build and structure my project but I have a few questions.

1. Let's say I have created a GameBoard model that represents the current state of the game, would it be a good idea to send that object over the websockets back and forth everytime the player makes a move, or clicks on a piece (to see possible moves) in order to update the board. Or should I implement some of the game logic inside the js code.
2. How do I go about rendering the game board inside the html, do I need to "redraw" the entire board everytime a change has been made? Could I use django templating here or just javascript to do this without refreshing the page.

I don't have any experience making web-games so please excuse me if anything is not understood.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Made a super basic role-requirement decorator for flask-login

I wanted to add an admin user-type to my flask app, in addition to the basic authorized user that flask-login provides. I didn't want to use flask-user or flask-security, which I understand have role-based authorization, because they require additional database tables. I wanted the bare minimum, where a User's role attribute is just a string. I just wanted the extra decorator, not anything else.

Here's the result. A single file, customizable route decorator for adding a required roll to a view.

How to have my API send data to just my front end?

Hey guys I am making a flask API using flask-restful. At this point anyone can call my endpoints and get data, but since its a user/pw application on the front end, I think building a token system would just be a waste if I just use it for a frontend/mobile in the future.

[D] Examples of good science in deep learning experiment-focused papers

It's been brought up a lot that there are a lot of low-quality "benchmark papers" that get accepted to top conferences based on results even though they have bad science ( [this paper goes into more detail on this](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.03341.pdf)). So I was wondering what example papers the community looks up to and what about them makes them good for you, that primarily is based on empirical/experimental results. RL papers encouraged!

Weird conversions like Image to Audio and Audio to Image using NumPy magic

I know this tool is kind of strange and probably not very useful. However, I wanted to play with NumPy and try to understand in a deeper way the amount of stuff that this library can do.

That's why I ended up doing this project, because of yes.
