Python for JS Developer: Recommendations for Learning Path or Resources?

Hello fellow Redditors!

I'm primarily a JavaScript developer with some practical Python experience.

I'd like to refresh my skills, or 'reacquaint' myself, if you will. In short, what project-based learning resources or books would you recommend to get back into Python development?

Thank you very much in advance!

D Visual explanation of "Backpropagation: Differentiation Rules Part 3

Hi,

I previously shared part 1 and part 2 of the post here:

1. Part 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/1irs3gn/d\_visual\_explanation\_of\_backpropagation/
2. Part 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/1iy0d47/d\_visual\_explanation\_of\_backpropagation\_forward/

Here is the part 3 where I share how to derive the differentiation rules from scratch using the computation graph.

While learning the backpropagation, I realized that x\^n can be derived from the product rule x1*x2*..*xn where xi(x)=x. I found it quite interesting, hence sharing.

Thanks,

[R] marsopt: Mixed Adaptive Random Search for Optimization

**marsopt** (Mixed Adaptive Random Search for Optimization) is designed to address the challenges of optimizing complex systems with multiple parameter types. The library implements an adaptive random search algorithm that dynamically balances exploration and exploitation through:

* Adaptive noise for efficient parameter space sampling
* Elite selection mechanisms to guide search toward promising regions
* Integrated support for log-scale and categorical parameters
* Flexible objective handling (minimization or maximization)

# Technical Highlights

Our benchmarking shows that marsopt achieves remarkable performance:

**Up to 150× faster** than Optuna's TPE sampler in optimization tasks with 10 floating-point parameters

[timing results](https://preview.redd.it/s4nw6eehq1me1.png?width=4395&format=png&auto=webp&s=2b51adfc1325acf7b410345ec877a18ab562d7ce)

**Consistently top ranks** across standard black-box optimization benchmarks from [SigOpt evalset](https://github.com/sigopt/evalset)

[ranks ](https://preview.redd.it/2ckzh7skq1me1.png?width=4469&format=png&auto=webp&s=a7dda9a23311fab819c672e7df78bc5eb19619b9)

# Comprehensive Variable Support

The library handles the complete spectrum of parameter types required for modern ML pipelines:

* **Continuous variables** (with optional log-scale sampling)
* **Integer variables** (with appropriate neighborhood sampling)
* **Categorical variables** (with intelligent representation)

# Practical ML Application

In our experiments with LightGBM hyperparameter tuning on the California Housing dataset, marsopt showed promising results compared to well-established optimizers like Optuna. The library efficiently handled both simple parameter spaces and more complex scenarios involving different boosting types, regularization parameters, and sampling configurations.

Using marsopt is straightforward:

Help Needed: Improving My Flask + Celery Email Library for Open Source

Hey everyone,

I'm building an **open-source Python library** that integrates **Flask and Celery** for handling asynchronous email sending. The goal is to make it simple for Flask users to:
✅ Initialize Celery with their Flask app
✅ Configure SMTP settings dynamically via `app.config`
✅ Send emails asynchronously using Celery tasks

**Current Structure:**
1️⃣ **FlaskCelery** \- A wrapper to initialize Celery with Flask
2️⃣ **SendMail** \- Handles SMTP configuration and sending emails
3️⃣ **Celery Task** \- Sends emails asynchronously (without retry logic)

# What I Need Help With:

🔹 Ensuring the Celery task integrates smoothly with Flask's configuration
🔹 Best practices for handling SMTP settings securely
🔹 Optimizing the structure for maintainability and scalability

[demo.py](http://demo.py)

app.config["SMTP_HOST"]=os.environ.get('SMTP_HOST')
app.config["USE_TLS"]=os.environ.get('USE_TLS')
app.config["USE_SSL"]=os.environ.get('USE_SSL')
app.config["SENDER"]=os.environ.get('SENDER')
app.config["PASSWORD"] =os.environ.get('PASSWORD')


celery = FlaskCelery()
celery.init_app(app)
mailer = SendMail(app.config.items())

PhotoFF a CUDA-accelerated image processing library

Hi everyone,

I'm a self-taught Python developer and I wanted to share a personal project I've been working on: PhotoFF, a GPU-accelerated image processing library.

## What My Project Does

PhotoFF is a high-performance image processing library that uses CUDA to achieve exceptional processing speeds. It provides a complete toolkit for image manipulation including:

- Loading and saving images in common formats
- Applying filters (blur, grayscale, corner radius, etc.)
- Resizing and transforming images
- Blending multiple images
- Filling with colors and gradients
- Advanced memory management for optimal GPU performance

The library handles all GPU memory operations behind the scenes, making it easy to create complex image processing pipelines without worrying about memory allocation and deallocation.

## Target Audience

PhotoFF is designed for:

- Python developers who need high-performance image processing
- Data scientists and researchers working with large batches of images
- Application developers building image editing or processing tools
- CUDA enthusiasts interested in efficient GPU programming techniques

While it started as a personal learning project, PhotoFF is robust enough for production use in applications that require fast image processing. It's particularly useful for scenarios where processing time is critical or where large numbers of images need to be processed.

## Comparison with Existing Alternatives

Compared to existing Python image processing libraries:

TIL you can use else with a while loop

Not sure why I’ve never heard about this, but apparently you can use else with a while loop. I’ve always used a separate flag variable

This will execute when the while condition is false but not if you break out of the loop early.

For example:

Using flag

nums = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
target = 4
found = False
i = 0

while i < len(nums):
    if nums[i] == target:
        found = True
        print("Found:", target)
        break
    i += 1

if not found:
    print("Not found")

Using else

nums = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
target = 4
i = 0

while i < len(nums):
    if nums[i] == target:
        print("Found:", target)
        break
    i += 1
else:
    print("Not found")

I Built a Localization Helper Tool for Localizers/Translators

Hey everyone,

Last month, while localizing a game update, I found it frustrating to track which keys still needed translation. I tried using various AI tools and online services with massive token pools, but nothing quite fit my workflow.

So, I decided to build my own program, a Localization Helper Tool!

What My Project Does: This app detects missing translation keys after a game update and displays each missing key. I also added an auto-machine translation feature, but most won't need that, I assume (you still need a Google Cloud API key for that).

Target Audience: This tool is primarily for game developers and translators who work with localization files and need to quickly identify missing translations after updates.

Comparison: Unlike general translation services or complex localization platforms, my tool specifically focuses on detecting missing keys between versions. Most existing solutions I found were either too complex (full localization suites) or too basic (simple text comparison tools). My tool bridges this gap.

It's my first app, and I've made it with the help of GitHub Copilot, so I don't know if the file structure and code lengths for each file are good or not, but nevertheless, it works as it should.

I'd love to hear your thoughts

Making image text unrecognizable to ocr with python.

Hello, I am a python learner. I was playing around with image manipulation techniques using cv2, pil, numpy etc similar. I was aiming to make an image that contains a text becomes unrecognizable by an OCR or ai image to text apps. I was wondering what techniques i could use to achieve this. I dont want to specifically corrupt just the image but want it to be manipulated such that human eye thinks its normal but ocr or ai thinks wtf is that idk. So what techniques can i use to achieve such a result that even if i paste that image somewhere or someone screenshots the image and puts in ocr, they cant extract text from it?
thanks :)
