Created Code that Converts 3D Pose Outputs from Body Space to World Space

# What My Project Does

Uses 2D and 3D pose outputs from models such as mediapipe’s pose model and converts the 3D pose outputs that are in body space to world space. (Changes the origin of the coordinate system of the pose results from the hips of the body to the camera) This makes the pose results much more useful as it gives the motion of the entire body instead of just individual parts of the body relative to the hips. (Pose results of a belly flop might show little to no change, but when plotted in world space, you would be able to see a clear change in velocity in the body)

# Target Audience

People that want to convert pose model outputs from body space to world space.

# Comparison

To my knowledge, there aren’t really any other solutions to this problem.

# Other Details

Changing Model of CreateView and form

Hi all, I'd like to be able to have one CreateView that can work for a handful of models I have. Based on this portion of the documentation:

"These generic views will automatically create a `ModelForm`, so long as they can work out which model class to use"

I believe if I pass the right model to a class inheriting CreateView, I'll get a form to use for that model. With this in mind, is it possible to change the model a view references when requested? According to the documentation, I should be able to use get_object() or get the queryset, but both of those take me to SingleObjectMixin, which I don't think is used in CreateView. Am I attempting something impossible, or am I missing a key detail?

I use railway it's response time little slow.(over 1second)

First time, I thought it is related to plan.

So I upgrade free tier to hobby plan.

But the response time is same as before.

So I am considering to change the hosting server.

Could you guys recommend to me to deploy django app easily for MVP Testing?

I usually used aws, but Deployment process was not really good to me.

Railway made me feel deployment more easy.

Is there any service give me better performance than railway?

Specially, most of users will be located in south korea(East Asia)

PS. I already test setting location asis in railway, But the problem was same.

Petition to rename Python 3.14 to Pithon!

# Is this a dumb joke? Yes. Is this the only shot we'll have at a joke like this? Yes. And is this a great way to celebrate what Pi's done for us Python developers? Totally.

I mean Python is heavily built around the magic number we know as 3.14, from games, charts and music, to even just screwing around with arithmetic functions! So why not appreciate pi's work with a special Python version?

The petition can be found here:
https://www.change.org/p/rename-python-3-14-to-pithon

# Edit: yeah, renaming it just for v3.14 is probably a bad thought, but i mean it would still be funny as a nickname!

The features of Python's h*lp() function

Note: I censored the word "help" b/c it's not allowed in titles, but this blog post is about the function help(), not asking for help.

[https://www.pythonmorsels.com/help-features/](https://www.pythonmorsels.com/help-features/)

I almost always just append \`?\` to things in the REPL so I did not know that \`help()\` accepted string representations of objects, which will save me the work of instantiating an object just to get access to its method to ask for help:

>>> help("math.prod")
Help on built-in function prod in math:

math.prod = prod(iterable, /, *, start=1)
Calculate the product of all the elements in the input iterable.
>>> help("math.prod")
Help on built-in function prod in math:

math.prod = prod(iterable, /, *, start=1)
...


Even works for symbols:

>>> help("**")
The power operator
******************

The power operator binds more tightly than unary operators on its
left; it binds less tightly than unary operators on

Django production for dummies

Hello all, I am not a legit developer. I know enough to be dangerous.

I've built a few simple projects I wish to deploy into production, however I have gotten used to the easy built in dev server of vscode.

Now that I wish to deploy, I am a bit lost. Using YouTube videos I managed to get one going on a EC2 instance including HTTPS but it was a hell of a journey. Here are my pain points:

- getting static files served
- using a web server besides the manage.py script
- keeping the server running when I disconnect
- 1000 different ways to handle environment variables
- how to see what's going on when debug is disabled (API calls, login attempts etc)
- having to modify settings for production, assuming I need to keep a seperate production branch on git avoid this headache??

So I know I'm in way over my head... But it seems like deploying a "simple" project requires dozens of steps. I feel like I'm probably over complicating things too. Is there not an easier way????

Using Fish? dirvenv.fish automagically activates your virtualenv

What My Project Does

I wrote dirvenv.fish so I don't have to manually activate and deactivate virtualenvs, and I think it might help more people – so, sharing it here ; )

Target Audience

Python developers using Fish shell.

Comparison

I know virtualfish but I don't wanna manage virtualenvs myself; uv does that for me. Also, I don't want to uv run every command. So I came up with that solution.

Trouble with Staticfiles in Django

I am Django beginner learning Django with tutorials, i do understand the tutorial and i do make a note in a way that I understand and i do update my notes when I practice but i also made notes on how to setup staticfiles and add images in Django, but i am having trouble everytime I practice the images part every other part works fine except the images part, i do everything as mentioned in my notes but in the end it just fails (the image doesn’t load up) the last time it happened it was some syntax error and based on that I updated my notes and this time the same thing is happening again and i am not able to figure out at all as to why it’s happening.

Is there any issue in Django which makes the image load sometimes and not load sometimes or am i doing something wrong?

best practices re passing parameters as keyword, rather than positional

I've been a professional programmer for 20 years but I have seen a peculiar trend in the last few years. A lot of newer or more junior developers specify arguments as keyword arguments if there are 2 or more. So for something like the below where there are no optional or keyword-only args (i.e. the function is defined def get_widgets(db_session:Session, company_code:str, page:int, rows_per_page:int) -> list[Widget]):

widgets = getwidgets(dbsession, companycode, page, rowsperpage)

They will insist on writing it as:

widgets = getwidgets(
dbsession=dbsession,
companycode=companycode,
page=page,
rowsperpage=rowsperpage
)

To me this kind of thing is really peculiar and quite redundant. Is this something that is getting taught during, say, "Intro to Data Engineering" courses or introductions Python in general? It's kinda grating to me and now I'm seeing some of them requesting changes to Pull Requests they're assigned to review, asking that method/function calls be rewritten this way.

Am I right in considering this to be weird, or is this considered to be current best practice in Python?

Self-hosted RSS/ATOM reader with LLM-generated tags, scoring, filtering, and sorting

Check it on github: [https://github.com/Tiendil/feeds.fun](https://github.com/Tiendil/feeds.fun) \[Python on backend\]

# What My Project Does

It behaves like a regular news reader, but has extra tag-related features:

How it works:

* For each news entry, the reader automatically assigns a lot of tags.
* You can create rules like `books + sci-fi -> +5 score`, `politics + new-york -> -10 score`.
* News are sorted by score, so you always see the most interesting news first.

# Target Audience

Those who are overwhelmed by news and want to save their own time.

The code is stable and should run smoothly in production.

For me it saves over 80% of news-reading time, simply by filtering out most of the non-relevant news.

# Comparison

The nearest reader with similar functionality is Tiny Tiny RSS. I was testing the idea with LLM-tags on it, but I found its tag-related features too limited and hard to patch.

# How To Play:

Stop the blocks from being pushed of the screen! Destroy touching blocks of the same color to earn points towards leveling up. When you level up the screen restarts, but gets tougher every level. If the blocks go off the left side of the screen you lose.

Should I be using more data structures?

A long time ago, I learned a lot about Hashmap, Red-Black-Trees and a many, many more. However in my day-to-day Data Centric Programming in Python I only use sets, lists, dicts and Dataframes. I do use trees if I have a recursive structure, but rarely.

Am I missing out and could improve my code by revisiting data structures or are these just a non-issue when doing high level data pipelines in Python?

Seeking Python Backend Projects – Developer Upskilling in Django, Flask, FastAPI, SQL

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working in Python automation and have recently been dedicating time to upskilling in backend development. I’ve been learning frameworks like Django, Flask, FastAPI, and working with SQL, and I’m eager to put these skills into practice on real projects.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone is working on a project that could use an extra pair of hands for Python backend development. Whether it’s a side project, a startup idea, or an open-source initiative, I’m excited to contribute, learn, and grow through hands-on experience.

I believe in continuously pushing myself, not just in coding but also in maintaining a balanced lifestyle. A good coding session followed by a solid gym workout has always helped me stay motivated and clear-headed—sometimes, the best ideas come when you’re not at the desk!

If you have any opportunities or know someone who might be looking for help, please feel free to reach out. I’m open to collaboration and would appreciate any advice or pointers as I navigate this transition into more backend-focused roles.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Looking forward to connecting with you all.
