🌈 I created a modern Python logging utility: Tamga

What My Project Does
Tamga is a Python logging package that provides colorful console output and supports multiple logging formats (file, JSON, MongoDB, etc.). It makes Python logging more visually appealing and easier to use.

Target Audience
I originally created this for my FlaskBlog project and kept reusing it in other projects. After copying the code multiple times, I decided to turn it into a package. Anyone who wants prettier and more flexible logging in their Python projects might find it useful.

Comparison
While there are many logging solutions available, Tamga offers colorful output using Tailwind CSS colors and combines multiple features like MongoDB support, email notifications, and file rotation in a simple package.

Quick example:

from tamga import Tamga

logger = Tamga()
logger.info("This is an info message")
logger.warning("This is a warning")
logger.success("This is a success message")

Python Fixed-Point Converter

Hey everyone, [PyFi](https://github.com/CesarPiresSevero/pyfi) is a library that helps converting fixed-point to floating-point and vice-versa.

* What My Project Does: Converts floating and fixed-point implementations
* Target Audience: Algorithm developers
* Comparison: Simpler solution with only one class and method

It can be very hand for someone doing fixed-point algorithm implementations. Here is an example:

>PYTHON FIXED POINT CONVERTER

>Configuration:
-Type of conversion: Floating to fixed point
-Signedness: Signed
-Total bits: 32
-Fractional bits: 31

>WARNING: 1.0 can not be represented, 0.99999999977 will be used instead ( index: 0 )

I don’t understand models

Hello, I’m new to Django and am kinda struggling with understanding models and their structure. If anyone could provide information that would be appreciated.

Where is the community?

I’m learning Python and Flask as I’ll need it for a job I’m starting soon. Previously I’ve been involved with the iOS development community and there’s a pretty big community on X (Twitter). Is there a similar community for Flask/Python on X? Is it here on Reddit? What’s the best way to get involved?

PhotoshopAPI - bulk read/write PSD files without Photoshop App

Here's some more info about this project: https://github.com/EmilDohne/PhotoshopAPI

What my Project does

PhotoshopAPI is a C++20 Library with Python bindings for reading and writing of Photoshop Files (*.psd and *.psb) based on previous works from psd_sdk, pytoshop and psd-tools. As well as the official Photoshop File Format Specification, where applicable. The library is continuously tested for correctness in its core functionality. If you do find a bug please submit an issue to the github page.

The motivation to create another library despite all the other works present is that there isn't a library which has layer editing as a first class citizen while also supporting all bit-depths known to Photoshop (8-bits, 16-bits, 32-bits). This Library aims to create an abstraction between the raw binary file format and the structure that the user interfaces against to provide a more intuitive approach to the editing of Photoshop Files.

COMPARISON

Photoshop itself is unfortunately often slow to read/write files and the built-in tools for automatically/programmatically modifying files suffer this same issue. On top of this, due to the extensive history of the Photoshop File Format, Photoshop files written out by Photoshop itself are often unnecessarily bloated to add backwards compatibility or cross-software compatibility.

The PhotoshopAPI tries to address these

Can you share tutorials on django channels?

Hi I am building a app which creates a chat room in a local network for sending messages and files. This is my semester's final project and I thought how hard could it be. I knew how to use python sockets to make this work and thought how hard could it be to integrate it with django. I bit off way more than I could chew.


All I want it that the page updates it real time to display message. From what I read online I have to use websockets and channels to accomplish this, but I have no idea how any of this works. I have seen tutorials online and they all are too complicated and I am overwhelmed. Is there another way around this. All I want is to establish a connection between sockets and django channels. Please help

Integrating Node-RED and Django for Easy Smart Applications Development

Hi Redditors! 👋

I’m excited to share my latest project:
**Node-RED - Django Integration**, which aims to combine **Node-RED**, a fantastic tool for visually building flows, with **Django**, one of the most popular frameworks for web application development.

# What Makes This Project Unique?

In Node-RED, you cannot control user access permissions.

* For example, if you want one user to view a device's readings but not modify them, while another user can both view and edit the device's readings, this is impossible in Node-RED.
* In Django, advanced permission handling is possible.
* You can define specific permissions for each device, allowing precise control over who can view or modify data.
* However, in Django, it is challenging to connect and manage multiple devices or control the flow of data.
* Unlike Node-RED, Django is not designed for creating seamless data flows or automation

Why This Project?

I wanted to explore the possibility of simplifying the development of smart applications using flexible and accessible tools. The goal is to empower developers to create fast, efficient applications by leveraging the strengths of both Node-RED and Django.

Hardening my Django server

I've had a Django app running on a Digital Ocean droplet for several years without issue. Lately it would run out of memory on complex queries. The CPU was also hitting high levels. I decided to move to a Hetzner VM - 4 times the CPU and 4 times the memory for about the same price. Having updated all the software dependencies and dome lots of testing I finally migrated to the new server on Sunday. On Tuesday, by coincidence, I got a notification from Digital Ocean Security saying that they had received a report that my old DO server was making unauthorized connection attempts on a remote third-party server via SSH. As I now no longer needed that server, I responded by destroying it. (I don't have the time and expertise to analyse exactly what was going on.

Of course, I want to avoid such an issue recurring on the new server. So my question is: What measures beyond the standard Django deployment checklist (which I had followed) do you recommend for your Django servers? I'm using Nginx and Gunicorn on an ARM platform. I'm thinking of libraries like fail2ban, maybe a Web Application Firewall, scanners for malicious code

TIL: uv pip install doesn't compile bytecode installation

uv pip install is way faster than pip install, but today I learned that is not a completely fair comparison out of the box. By default, pip will compile .py files to .pyc as part of installation, and uv will not. That being said, uv is still faster even once you enable bytecode compilation (and you might want to if you're e.g. building a Docker image), but it's not as fast.

Setting Up Django for Success

Hello everyone,

I wrote a getting started guide I wish I had myself when I got started with Django around 8 years ago. It goes from setting up a virtual environment using `uv` to having a server side rendered front-end application hydrated using Vue. I tried to write it in such a way that you could achieve the same by using React/Svelte instead of Vue by only changing the Vite template. It contains a short piece of Django Rest Framework to demonstrate persistence via an authenticated API.

It's a collection of ideas that worked for me and others in the Django community. Some from books such as Two Scoops of Django. Others from resources such as LearnDjango.com or DjangoCon US talks. Of course duly credited where mentioned.

https://jilles.me/setting-up-django-for-success/

Hopefully there is something useful in there for everyone. I think it's a nice middle-ground between a completely empty Django project and a fully fledged django-cookiecutter.

Unable to create virtual environment

I just started learning Flask and want to create a virtual environment within VSCode. I did install the virtualenv package using pip

pip install virtualenv

But when I enter the prompt "virtualenv env" to create a directory, I get a file not found error saying that "system cannot find file specified".

Why am I getting this error and how can I fix this?

Best practice for allowing access to users without an account

I need to provide access to users who don't have an account on the site, and I want it to be properly routed. We manage condo associations, and want to let tenants report problems. Owners are no problem, they already have a website account to pay condo fees etc. But tenants don't. Is there a better way to do it than just giving them a url with a long UUID (ie domain.com/request/\[UUID\](http://domain.com/request/UUID) or similar) where the UUID would be tied to a particular unit so we could share it with the appropriate condo board?

D Comment on CVPR reviews and ICLR decisions.

Hey everyone,
We all know how reviews and decisions can be controversial, and I’m sure many of you are feeling disappointed with the results (My rating from CVPR is all 2 😅). But remember, it’s not the end of the world!

Rejection doesn’t mean you’re at fault—it’s often just bad luck (though, of course, we should always strive to improve our work).

Take a break—grab some chicken and beers, get a good night’s sleep, and gear up to submit your work to another venue. You’ve got this! 💪

Jypter Tries Opening in Photoshop instead of Browser

I am taking a Python class at my college, and as part of the class, we installed Anaconda and the Jypter Notebook to write our code in. Whenever I try to open Jypter Notebook, it opens up Photoshop on my laptop.

The TA for my class had me uninstall Photoshop, and it got Jypter Notebook to run. However, I need to keep Photoshop on my laptop for my internship, so I would prefer not to have to uninstall and re-install it.

Do y'all know a potential work around for this?

I appreciate any advice, thank you all.

Edit:
I just realized that i misspelled Juypter, my bad
