Vehicle application charts and combining them accurately and easily



Hi all

I have a bit of a unique problem. I work with a lot of vehicle application charts as part of my job. I often receive application charts in separate files either as a group of products (brakes headlight batteries etc all in the same chart) or an app chart for a single product (brakes). They will always have some form of make model year and sometimes displacement and vehicle type . The columns can be in any order. The charts can also be presented in either a horizontal format with columns for each product with skus in the columns or vertically with a column with the product name and a sku beside it. There is no guarantee of consistency between the names of the columns in the charts and they can often be thousands of lines. I am wondering if there is a python script out there to quickly and accurately combine these charts so that the vehicle information,product information all cell contents line up (maybe someone would be willing to write me a quick vba code?) I have tried power query and it doesn’t seem to do the trick. I was going to attach an

Creating a sampler, mixer, and recording audio to disk in Python

# 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/supriya\_python.

The code for all demos can be found in this GitHub repo.

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 the latest demo, I show how to create a sampler, a more complex sequencer, a mixer, and how to record audio to disk. This demo is much more complex than any of the previous demos, so the post is quite long.

Happy belated 303 day!

A feature-rich Telegram support bot (open source)

Hey everyone! I'd like to share a Telegram support bot I've developed.

**What My Project Does**

In its core it works like other support bots: users message the bot, and admins reply via an admin group. But the project adds some more features on top of that.

**Target Audience**

I've added a bunch of features that make it especially useful for organizations providing tech or legal help. But it also works well for an anonymous Telegram channel just wanting to leave a contact.

**Comparison**

The bot is open source (MIT), lightweight, and dockerized. Built with Python and SQLite, using aiogram and SQLAlchemy.

Here's a list of advanced features making it different from other bots:

* Multi-bot support: run any number of bots in one process; each with separate database and settings
* Threaded admin chats: each user gets a separate topic in the admin group
* Menu builder: the bot can show a menu with actions, you only need to describe it via a simple TOML config
* Self-destructing messages on user side if there is a security concern
* Broadcasts: admins can send a message to all the bot users directly from the admin group
* Weekly stats: usage statistics are reported in admin group every 7 days
* Google Sheets logging: archive

R How to start writting papers as an independent researcher

Hey Guys, so I have a master's in AI and work in the AI field, for a while now I wanted to try to write papers to send to conferences, but I dont know how to start or how to do it. I also feel kinda overwhelmed since I feel that if I write a paper by myself, a lone author who has never had anything written before and is backed by no organization, even if I write something interesting, people wont take it seriously. I also changed continents, so its kinda difficult to try to make connections with my original university, so I was wondering if there are any groups of independent researchers where I could connect with. I would welcome any kind of advice really, since most of my connections dont write papers, less in the AI field, so I dont know where to start.

The current landscape of UI components and design systems for Django applications

When I start developing a new web application, it's almost always a Django project. ORM, migrations, templates, etc. It's that familiar all-in-one package we've all come to love.

But the one area that keeps bugging me is how to add componentization of the UI and fill in a design system to the components. I don't want to always start from the scratch when starting a new project but I haven't solved this issue for me.

I know I could just use template snippets for reusability but it feels off and I've seen myself how quickly the DX of going through template after another falls off.

So what's the current rave for adding components to a Django codebase? Web components? django-components? Daisy UI? django-cotton? And how about adding a design system in? Tailwind? Bootstrap 5?

Note that I don't want a full-fledged SPA with a UI framework like React or Svelte on the client-side. The more SSR the merrier.

Would love to hear your experiences and suggestions.

This is just the beginning and I'm crumbling with Django learning curve

I cannot thank everyone enough for motivating me to learn Django regardless of my age in the last post. And I'm trying to work on it. But, yet I find all this code overwhelming. I have been just following UDEMY tutorial. Sometimes the code work, sometimes does not. And I had to look up over the internet to fix it . And that searching takes like 30 minutes for each bug I encounter. Prolly, it is because I have no partner to learn with. Nevertheless, just look at the code I just posted. I was understanding until Employee.objects.all() from models was called and displayed in template. But, now with this foreign key, select_related and even with line 30,37 where employees are called with array position. I cannot comprehend it much. Should I just go through this again and again and practice or is there any easy way out. or any books to help me. I guess tutorial is not the way. Please please please help me overcome this learning curve. I do not wanna feel overwhelmed. I have already finished 30 hours of video and practice along with. And I can only give 3 hours everyday for 1 year

Performance gains of the Python 3.14 tail-call interpreter were largely due to benchmark errors

I was really surprised and confused by last month's claims of a 15% speedup for the new interpreter. It turned out it was an error in the benchmark setup, caused by a bug in LLVM 19.

See https://blog.nelhage.com/post/cpython-tail-call/ and the correction in https://docs.python.org/3.14/whatsnew/3.14.html#whatsnew314-tail-call

A 5% speedup is still nice though!

Redis as cache.


At work, we needed to implement Redis for a caching solution. After some searching, btw clickhouse has great website for searching python packages here.
I found a library that that made working with redis a breeze Redis-Dict.

from redis_dict import RedisDict
from datetime import timedelta

cache = RedisDict(expire=timedelta(minutes=60))

request = {"data": {"1": "23"}}

web_id =  "123"
cache[web_id] = request["data"]

Finished implementing our entire caching feature the same day I found this library (didn't push until the end of the week though...).

At what point is HTMx not going to suffice for large ERP?

I'm starting a new project that will be large with lots of moving parts, complex modules, and different spaces for different users. Its an ERP, so you can imagine the types of data and functionality I will be building.

For past large projects, I have always used Django DRF as an API backend and a VueJS frontend to consume the API. This has worked well in the past, providing a rich user interface and experience. However, it always comes at the cost of overall project complexity given that there are two separate code bases to manage.

So, instead of DRF + VueJS I'm considering Django templates + HTMx. I've worked with HTMx in the past, but not extensively. I've also always heard the phrase "unless you're building a spreadsheet type app, HTMx will be fine". OK - but, I might need some of that level of complexity given that I'm building an ERP. I just don't want to get into Django + HTMx and realize 6 months down the road, HTMx isn't going to cut it.

My question is - have any of you built really large projects with complex UI/UX and only used the Django templates + HTMx? Can

blob-path: pathlib-like cloud agnostic object storage library

# What My Project Does
Having worked with applications which run on multiple clouds and on-premise systems, I’ve been developing a library which abstracts away some common functionalities, while being close to the pathlib interface
tutorial notebook

Example snippet

from blob_path.backends.s3 import S3BlobPath
from pathlib import PurePath

bucket_name = "my-bucket"
object_key = PurePath(
  "hello_world.txt"
)
region = "us-east-1"
blob_path = S3BlobPath(
  bucket_name,
  region,
  object_key,
)

# check if the file exists
print(blob_path.exists())

# read the file
with blob_path.open("rb") as f:
    # a file handle is returned here, just like `open`
    print(f.read())
    
    
destination = AzureBlobPath(
   "my-blob-store",
   "testcontainer",
   PurePath("copied_from") / "s3.txt"
)

blob_path.cp(destination)

Features:
- A pathlib-like interface for handling cloud object storage paths, I just love that interface
- Built-in serialisation and deserialisation: this, in my experience, is something people have trouble with when they begin abstracting away cloud storages. Generally because they don’t realise it after some time and it keeps getting deprioritised. Users instead rely on stuff like using the same bucket across the application
- Having a pathlib interface where all the functionality is packaged in the path itself (instead of writing “clients” for each cloud backend make this trivial)

Should I Use CDNs for Bootstrap & HTMX in My Django App?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently building a Django app and considering using CDNs to serve Bootstrap and HTMX. A friend of mine warned me against using CDNs in production, but neither of us have much experience, so I wanted to get insights from more experienced developers.

Are there any security, performance, or reliability concerns I should be aware of when relying on CDNs for these libraries? Would it be better to self-host them instead? If so, what’s the best approach for managing updates efficiently?

I’d really appreciate any advice or best practices you can share. Thanks in advance!
