Segment anything UI: Segmentation / object detection annotation made the easy way

Hello to everyone.

I have officially released segment anything ui for segmentation / object detection annotation tasks. It is a PySide6 application.


I have been working on this tool for some time and I hope that it will help to remove annoying instance segmentation / object detection annotation. It is designed to be simple, feature rich and as automatic as possible. Feel free to request features, bugfixes or star the project.

A polyphonic MIDI synth in less than 100 lines of code

# Background

I am posting a series of Python scripts that demonstrate using Supriya, a Python API for SuperCollider, in a dedicated subreddit. Supriya makes it possible to create synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, and music, of course, using Python.

All demos are posted here: r/supriyapython.

The code for all demos can be found in this GitHub [repo](https://github.com/dayunbao/supriyademos).

These demos assume knowledge of the Python programming language. They do not teach how to program in Python. Therefore, an intermediate level of experience with Python is required.

# The demo

In this demo, I show how to handle MIDI messages to play a polyphonic synthesizer using Supriya. It took a little less than 100 lines of code, which is pretty amazing.

Starter Django Project (Boilerplate)

Hi all, I am looking for a starter Django project that only has the login, register, reset password, and activate account already set up (send email with activate/reset link). The setting up of the boilerplate is what always prevents me from starting new projects, sadly I am just so lazy.

If anyone knows of a repo that has this please can you point me to it. I will also help maintain it.

A new sorting algorithm for 2025, faster than Powersort!

tl;dr It's faster than Python's Default sorted() function, Powersort, and it's not even optimized yet.

Time to stop using filter()?

Python's built-in filter() function predates generators, and it has persisted, partly out of habit, partly for legacy reasons, and partly because it can be a bit faster than generators.

Having recently tested the performance of filters vs generators in Python 3.13, I found the speed benefit has reversed. In all of my tests, generators were faster than the equivalent filter call - typically by 5 to 10%.

Is it now time to stop using filter() in new code (Python >= 3.13), or are there still cases where it is clearly the better option?

Turn Entire YouTube Playlists to Markdown Formatted and Refined Text Books (in any language)

Give it any YouTube playlist(entire courses for instance) and receive a clean, formatted and structured file with all the details of that playlist.

It's a simple yet effective script using the free Google Gemini API.

I haven't found any free tool available with this scale, so I made one.

This Python application extracts transcripts from YouTube playlists and refines them using the Google Gemini API(which is free). It takes a YouTube playlist URL as input, extracts transcripts for each video, and then uses Gemini to reformat and improve the readability of the combined transcript. The output is saved as a text file.

**What My Project Does**:

* Batch processing of entire playlists
* Refine transcripts using Google Gemini API for improved formatting and readability.
* User-friendly PyQt5 graphical interface.
* Selectable Gemini models.
* Output to markdown file.

**Target Audience**:

Turning large YouTube playlist into one large formatted text file has many advantages for studying and learning, documentation, having a source book of the playlist, etc...


**Comparison**:

I haven't found a similar tool that converts YouTube videos to easily readable document in this scale and be free and accessible.

Announcing Django Shinobi, a fork of Django Ninja

For those who have been following or been involved with recent development of Django Ninja, you’ll notice that for a little over a year, almost all development has come to a halt. About 60 PRs have built up on the GitHub repository, many of which fix crucial issues, but are not getting any feedback and have no path forward to getting them merged. PRs that fix documentation will get merged in a day, but most PRs that touch code are left out to dry. Among these PRs include performance improvements, the validation vs. serialization split, my own fix for aliases, and much more. It's getting desperate enough that people are posting monkeypatches in the PRs.

I have spoken with Ninja's maintainer a bit about the issue and I think it's mostly just a split in priorities between him and myself. That's totally reasonable and respectable, its his project. But as a user of the library, I can't really say that I feel supported by this direction, and I would assume from the many repeated requests for review from the PR submitters that most in the community aren’t too happy either. Most of these existing issues aren’t complete showstoppers, but they are

Need some guidance on creating a custom api endpoint for my Haystack search query

Hello guys, I'm trying to finish the \`apiview\` of my django-haystack search query. Right now I am using drf-haystack, instead of vanilla django-haystack, because I'm not using templates.


Rather I'm using VueJS as my frontend, so traditional django-haystack won't work in this case. I'm not seeing any errors and I haven't run automated tests yet for the search query api endpoint.


I'm also running my backend on Linux (Fedora) locally, that is I'm not using Docker or containers. I have some api calls in my frontend VueJS project including a search engine page that needs to communicate with this api endpoint, in particular the \`CompanySearch\` model instance. Please I need some advice for this. Let me know if there are specific files/further details you need from me. The Github repo for this project is set to private, otherwise I'd post the link here.


Anyway here are some important files that I will paste here:

Hello.

How would you develop a mortgage loan business ERP? with the following conditions:

1. No experience or knowledge on programming or ERP development.

2. Your current ERP provider is shitty and ineffective. So you are done hiring someone else and want to learn to develop it yourself since depending on somebody else is frustrating.

Eager to listen your answers!

Python Developers: How Are You Finding Jobs in 2025?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been curious about the current job market for Python developers. With AI tools changing the landscape, how are you all finding work?

* Freelancing platforms Upwork and Fiverr still viable?
* How important is having a GitHub portfolio (personal projects)?
* What strategies have worked for landing clients or job offers?

I have already tried Fiverr and Upwork with no luck, so I’m looking for alternative ways to land work. Would love to hear your experiences, especially if you’ve recently landed a role or struggled in the process. Let’s help each other out!

MagicPrompt: Stupid simple (and powerful) CLI user interaction

# What My Project Does

MagicPrompt is a powerful one line solution for collecting CLI user input with absolutely zero boilerplate. No more writing input()loops, or learning an overly complicated library. This abstracts looping, validations, terminal cleanup, type casting and formatting, while still allowing full control over any of these when needed.

https://github.com/austinmpask/pymagicprompt

Features:

Full lifecycle abstraction, by default looping until valid input
Automatic terminal cleanup for subsequent prompts/answers
Type inference & casting for answer submissions
Customizable boolean conversion for common English words
Built in common validators
Support for custom validation functions
Fully customizable prompt formatting & colors
Customizable answer sanitization & formatting
Obscured text for password inputs
Options can be specified by both kwargs and options dict

# Target Audience

This can be used as a quality of life improvement to replace any CLI application currently using input()

# Comparison

Ordinarily when collecting user input in the terminal, one must wrap logic in loops and usually validate input. Most often, you will also have to eventually cast responses to a more sensible type than str. This abstracts all of that, leaving you just one line of code to write, while still retaining the ability to apply any customizations you need. There are similar packages for this,

pyatomix, a tiny atomics library for Python 3.13t

* What My Project Does

it provides an AtomicInt and AtomicFlag class from std::atomic<int64_t> and std::atomic_flag, and exposes the same API. AtomicInt also overloads math operators so += for instance is an atomic increment.

https://github.com/0xDEADFED5/pyatomix

* Target Audience

Anyone who wants an easy to use atomic int or atomic flag. I don't see why it couldn't be used in production.

* Comparison

I was having trouble a while back finding a simple atomics library for Python 3.13t that either had wheels for Windows, or would build easily without fuss on Windows, so I made one. Wheels are available for the main platforms, but it builds easily on Windows and Linux. (C++ 20 required to build)

DRF application boilerplate

I have a couple of new rest service required to be setup using DRF. This services will communicate with each other via REST and webhooks. I'm looking for some boilerplate like cookie cutter for DRF. My apps will use celery with production ready configuration and postgres as DB. since both apps will use postgres so I need some sort of docker and compose.yml which will start both apps with these dependencies after dockerfile is built.

Any suggestions for a boilerplate code for above requirements?

What are some components you build into your base flask application?

I am working on a template I can recycle for all my flask applications going forward to help speed up projects I am working on. So far what I have is user authentication and a "base" sql module that can do CRUD tasks on different tables of a database. The SQL module also handles connecting to the database engine in my docker stack.

This got me wondering what else, if at all, you all do anything similar?

memfile: Python library to store files in RAM

[memfile](https://github.com/LIZARD-OFFICIAL-77/memfile)

- **What My Project Does**
memfile wraps the built-in open() function for a new one, named memoryopen()
It is a fully drop-in replacement. It will work exactly like open() but the contents of the file will be in RAM and removed on reboot.

- **Target audience**
Probably embedded programming. The reason I made it is because of the project I'm working on where I need to use RAM instead of persistent storage as much as possible.

- **Comparison**
Well there is no alternatives that do specifically this.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: ONLY WORKS ON *Nix systems (Windows unsupported)
READ README BEFORE USE TO PREVENT MEMORY LEAKS / DANGLING SYMLINKS

D We built GenAI at Google and Apple, then left to build an open source AI lab, to enable the open community to collaborate and build the next DeepSeek. Ask us anything on Friday, Feb 14 from 9am-12pm PT!

Proof: https://imgur.com/a/kxiTTXP

TL;DR: Hi 👋 we’re Oumi, an AI lab that believes in an unconditionally open source approach–code, weights, training data, infrastructure, and collaboration—so the entire community can collectively push AI forward. We built a platform for anyone to contribute research in AI. Ask us anything about open source, scaling large models, DeepSeek, and what it takes to build frontier models, both inside and outside of big tech companies. Tell us what is working well in open source AI or what challenges you are facing. What should we work on together to improve AI in the open?

\-------------

For years, we worked at big tech (Google, Apple, Microsoft) leading efforts on GenAI models like Google Cloud PaLM, Gemini, and Apple’s health foundation models. We were working in silos and knew there had to be a better way to develop these models openly and collaboratively. So, we built a truly open source AI platform that makes it possible for tens of thousands of AI researchers, scientists, and developers around the world to collaborate, working together to advance frontier AI in a collective way that leads to more efficient, transparent and responsible development. The Oumi platform (fully open-source, Apache 2.0 license) supports pre-training, tuning, data

PostgreSQL & BeyondTrust Zero-Days Exploited in Coordinated Attacks

Relevant to Django Devs Using PostgreSQL:

Threat actors exploited a newly discovered PostgreSQL vulnerability (CVE-2025-1094) alongside a BeyondTrust zero-day (CVE-2024-12356), allowing them to achieve remote code execution. The PostgreSQL flaw enables attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands through SQL injection, significantly raising security risks for affected systems.  (View Details on PwnHub)
