Best practice for for creating a user based token for 3rd party apps in Django?

I have an application that needs users to give access to a 3rd party application.

The requirements are that the 3rd party application has the same permissions as the user (acts on the user's behalf)

The 3rd party application has no frontend, so the oauth2 redirection flow doesn't quite work.

My initial thought was to create a model for 3rd-party applications and the User can add their own apps.

By adding an app, the user would receive a app ID (or client id) and a app Secret (or client secret). The user gives the 3rd party app this information and it can request a Bearer Token once (After that, this combination of ID and Secret won't work). That Bearer Token will live for X seconds, but the application can refresh the Token with a Refresh Token it will get back as well.

I realize this looks almost identical to Oauth2, but I haven't figured out how to achieve it with Django Oauth Toolkit at least.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Is it possible to have more than one of a single form on a single page?

I’ve been working on this flask app that when you’ve logged in as a teacher it displays all of your students in a single neat table. The final entry of each table row I’ve made into a delete button that works of a form that has two fields: userid and submit. I’ve set the values for all the userid parts of the forms to be the right values and I’ve hidden those with some formatting. But for whatever reason whenever I click the delete, the form is not validated in my routes page. I can provide code if necessary. Is the problem that I have two of the same form in the same page or have I made an error somewhere else?

snakeware - a new Linux Distro with a fully Python userspace

snakeware is a new Linux-based operating system with a fully Python userspace. Our window manager is based on pygame\_gui. We do not use X11, we draw directly to the framebuffer. We also do not use systemd or any of the other huge and typical GNU/Linux utilities, because they are very opaque and not fun for recreational programmers to contribute to.

Our distro boots directly into a Python environment, where you can then do whatever you want with your computer. It's being designed based on the spirit of the Commodore 64, which is primarily that computing should be simple and fun. snakeware is still early in development, but we would like to welcome more contributors as the project grows (both in the Python space and in the build/packaging process for the actual distro).

Stripe with Django - are you using just stripe or dj-stripe?

I'm curious about what experienced devs are using for implementing Stripe with Django.

I see there is dj-stripe [https://github.com/dj-stripe/dj-stripe](https://github.com/dj-stripe/dj-stripe)

​

But also stripe has their own, and looks fairly simple, install method: [https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-charges#web](https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-charges#web)

​

In this tutorial [https://testdriven.io/blog/django-stripe-tutorial/](https://testdriven.io/blog/django-stripe-tutorial/) they don't use anything to set it up.

​

Ultimately, I will be using Stripe Connect. The flow I will be doing is:

1. authorize payment
2. capture payment (1-7 days later)

Not subscriptions or anything like that.

​

What are your inputs. Is using dj-stripe worth it for what I need or?

[P] Star Clustering: A clustering algorithm that automatically determines the number of clusters and doesn't require hyperparameter tuning.

[https://github.com/josephius/star-clustering](https://github.com/josephius/star-clustering)

So, this has been a thing I've been working on a for a while now in my spare time. I realized at work that some of my colleagues were complaining about clustering algorithms being finicky, so I took it upon myself to see if I could somehow come up with something that could handle the issues that were apparent with traditional clustering algorithms. However, as my background was more computer science than statistics, I approached this as an engineering problem rather than trying to ground it in a clear mathematical theory.

The result is what I'm tentatively calling Star Clustering, because the algorithm vaguely resembles and the analogy of star system formation, where particles close to each other clump together (join together the shortest distances first) and some of the clumps are massive enough to reach critical mass and ignite fusion (become the final clusters), while others end up orbiting them (joining the nearest cluster). It's not an exact analogy, but it's the closest I can think of to what the algorithm more or less does.

So, after a lot of trial and error, I got an implementation that seems to work really well on the data I

Fetch API works locally not when deployed to Azure cloud

**Error Fixed- Disregard**

​

I have a index.html and a python flask server.

The goal of this setup is to paste a long URL in a text box and when a button is pressed the long URL should be sent to the flask app via fetch API and the flask app responds with a shorter URL.

Here is the link → [https://uatomeletxyz.azurewebsites.net/](https://uatomeletxyz.azurewebsites.net/)

QQ - global-scope variable in views.py?

Long story short, I've got a list of <whatever> I want to randomize and pass in to my template in a few different views.

I obviously don't want to repeat this list in every view. I understand that in this scope if I'm calling \`list.shuffle()\` and throwing it into templates, I'm playing with fire. I know that should be fine, but its probably a bad practice.


I thought of making it a "constant", and then just making sure I do a deep copy before calling shuffle on it and passing it to the templates, but I'm not sure that's ideal either.


What's the cleanest way to do this? The context data is style/css related, so I don't want it with the model.
