Struggling to Land US/Western Europe Remote Roles as an Indian Django Developer – Need Advice

Hi everyone,

I’m a Django developer with 4 years of experience, currently based in India. Despite my remote work experience with international companies (including projects for teams in the Netherlands and The Bahamas), I keep hitting a wall. Most remote job applications seem to be met with responses like “we don’t hire from India” or “we’re looking for someone with more experience or cultural fit.”

I understand that factors such as purchase power parity play a part in salary negotiations and market rates. However, I feel that my location is unfairly limiting my opportunities and undervaluing my skills. I’m eager to work with US or Western European companies that appreciate quality and expertise, regardless of where I’m based.

I’m reaching out to this community for advice:

How can I better position my skills and remote work experience to overcome the location bias?
Has anyone successfully navigated similar challenges? If so, what strategies or platforms did you find most effective?
Any tips for tweaking my resume or application approach to appeal to international employers?
how much should i expect in salary since i have 4 years of experience & i dont have a CS degree.

p.s. i post my learnings on twitter and on my blog.

Unvibe: Generate code that passes Unit-Tests

# What My Project Does
Unvibe is a Python library to generate Python code that passes Unit-tests.
It works like a classic unittest Test Runner, but it searches (via Monte Carlo Tree Search)
a valid implementation that passes user-defined Unit-Tests.

# Target Audience (e.g., Is it meant for production, just a toy project, etc.)
Software developers working on large projects

# Comparison (A brief comparison explaining how it differs from existing alternatives.)
It's a way to go beyond vibe coding for professional programmers dealing with large code bases.
It's an alternative to using Cursor or Devon, which are more suited for generating quick prototypes.



## A different way to generate code with LLMs

In my daily work as consultant, I'm often dealing with large pre-exising code bases.

I use GitHub Copilot a

FastOpenAPI library Flask, Falcon, Quart, Sanic, Starlette

While working on a project that required OpenAPI documentation across multiple frameworks, I got tired of maintaining different solutions. I really like FastAPI’s routing—it’s clean and intuitive. So I built FastOpenAPI, which brings a similar approach to other frameworks.

# What FastOpenAPI Does

FastAPI-style routing, but without being tied to FastAPI.
Automatic OpenAPI documentation generation.
Built-in request validation with Pydantic.
Supports Flask, Falcon, Sanic, Starlette, and Quart.

# Target Audience

FastOpenAPI is designed for web developers who like FastAPI-style routing but need to use a different framework for various reasons. It’s a compromise solution for those who want a clean and intuitive API but cannot use FastAPI.

# Comparison

Compared to existing solutions:

Not tied to FastAPI, unlike FastAPI itself, which is built on Starlette.
Unified routing style and OpenAPI generation across multiple frameworks.
Built-in request validation with Pydantic, whereas many frameworks require manual data parsing and validation.
Simpler and more concise syntax than Flask-Smorest or Spectree, which use different approaches.

The project is still evolving, and I’d love any feedback or testing from the community!

Introducing Eventure: A Powerful Event-Driven Framework for Python

**Eventure** is a Python framework for simulations, games and complex event-based systems that emerged while I was developing something else! So I decided to make it public and improve it with documentation and examples.

## What Eventure Does

Eventure is an event-driven framework that provides comprehensive event tracking, querying, and analysis capabilities. At its core, Eventure offers:

- **Tick-Based Architecture**: Events occur within discrete time ticks, ensuring deterministic execution and perfect state reconstruction.
- **Event Cascade System**: Track causal relationships between events, enabling powerful debugging and analysis.
- **Comprehensive Event Logging**: Every event is logged with its type, data, tick number, and relationships.
- **Query API**: Filter, analyze, and visualize events and their cascades with an intuitive API.
- **State Reconstruction**: Derive system state at any point in time by replaying events.

The framework is designed to be lightweight yet powerful, with a clean API that makes it easy to integrate into existing projects.

Here's a quick example of what you can do with Eventure:

```python
from eventure import EventBus, EventLog, EventQuery

# Create the core components
log = EventLog()
bus = EventBus(log)

# Subscribe to events
def on_player_move(event):
# This will be linked as a child event
bus.publish("room.enter",

Polars Plugin for List-type utils and signal processing

\# What My Project Does

It is a Polars Plugin to facilitate working with List-type data in Polars, in particular for signal processing

\# Target Audience (e.g., Is it meant for production, just a toy project, etc.

Data Scientists working with List-type data in Polars or considering using Polars for their work on signal data.

\# Comparison (A brief comparison explaining how it differs from existing alternatives.)

Currently there are no Polars-native alternatives for these methods except for elementwise aggregation, but as I describe below this provides a number of benefits to Polars-native approaches. The only other alternative for the other methods is converting your data to Numpy, doing your work there, and then moving it back into Polars which breaks most of the query optimization and parallelization benefits of Polars.

\# The story:


I made a Polars plugin (mostly for myself at work, but I hope others can benefit from this as well) with some helpers and operations for List-type columns. It is in a bit of a pragmatic state, as I don't have so much time at work to polish it beyond what I need it for but I definitely intend on extending it over time and adding a proper documentation page.



Currently it can do

Stereo-Hands: Stereo panning on the basis of hand gestures ( Hand control music in 3D )

What it does: It captures real time image from camera, traces hand positioning and recognizes fingertips and adjust stereo of the music accordingly to give the feeling of hand control for 3d music experience

Target audience: Developer who seek cool projects.

Comparison: It's a original idea only intended for fun, so no comparison I guess?

Here is the Code.

Release tkinter-embed: Install Tkinter for Windows Embedded Python via pip

If you distribute Python applications on Windows using embedded Python, you've likely struggled with installing GUI libraries like Tkinter. Until now, this required manual file copying (see this Stack Overflow thread), which is error-prone and time-consuming. Introducing **tkinter-embed**:

A PyPI package that automates Tkinter installation for embedded Python environments. Now you can use pip directly!

# What My Project Does

tkinter-embed solves Tkinter installation for Windows Embedded Python distributions through a pip-installable package. It automatically copies required DLLs, libraries, and support files to create functional GUI applications without manual file operations. Enables Tkinter-based GUI development in portable Python environments.

# Target Audience

Primarily for developers who:

Distribute portable Windows apps using embedded Python

Create self-contained tools for non-technical users

# Installation Guide

# Step 1: Install pip

Choose one method:

Method 1: Use pip.pyz (recommended)

Method 2: Use get-pip.py

.\python get-pip.py --target .

# Step 2: Install setuptools

In your embedded Python folder:

.\python pip.pyz install setuptools --target .

OR if you used get-pip.py

.\python -m pip install setuptools --target .

# Step 3: Install tkinter-embed

In your embedded Python folder:

.\python pip.pyz install tkinter-embed --target .

OR if you used get-pip.py

.\python -m pip install tkinter-embed --target .

After completing these steps, Tkinter

Finally deployed my Flask app… and wow, I was NOT ready for this

So I finally deployed my first real Flask app, and let’s just say… I learned a lot the hard way. Thought I’d share in case it helps someone else (or at least gives you a laugh).

Spent hours debugging why my app worked locally but not on the server—turns out, I forgot to install Gunicorn. Flask’s built-in server is NOT for production. Lesson learned.

Hardcoded some API keys while testing and totally forgot about them. Almost pushed them to GitHub. Use environment variables, people.

Didn’t properly close my DB connections, so my app kept dying under even light load. SQLAlchemy’s connection pooling saved me.

Thought Docker was overkill. Spoiler: it’s not. Spinning up my app with a single docker-compose up is a game-changer.

Spent way too long fighting CORS issues. Flask-CORS was the easy fix, but I went down a rabbit hole first.

Embarking on My Django Journey – Seeking Guidance & Resources

Hello everyone,

I have a solid understanding of Python fundamentals, object-oriented programming, and basic HTML and CSS. However, I haven't ventured into JavaScript yet, as frontend styling hasn't particularly appealed to me, and the prospect of learning a new language solely for that purpose seems daunting.

This led me to explore backend development with Python, and I discovered Django. While I understand that Django is a backend framework, my knowledge about it is limited.

I'm eager to start learning Django but am uncertain about where to begin and which resources to utilize. I would greatly appreciate any guidance on effectively navigating this learning path to become a proficient backend developer.

Additionally, I've noticed that some websites built with Django appear outdated or simplistic. How can I ensure that the websites I create with Django have a modern and appealing design?

Furthermore, considering my lack of JavaScript knowledge, will I be able to integrate the Django backend with a pre-made frontend effectively?

If anyone else is starting with Django, please upvote and share the resources you're using! Let's embark on this learning journey together.

Thank you!

Introducing Aurras - A Fast, Feature-Rich Terminal Music Player (Spotify, YouTube, Offline, TUI/CLI)

Hey r/python community, I've been tinkering with a project for the past few months, and I thought some of you might find it interesting. It's a terminal-based music player called Aurras, and honestly, it started because I was just scratching my own itch.

# Target Audience

Like a lot of you, I spend a lot of time in the terminal. I love the efficiency, but I always found it a bit jarring to switch over to a separate music player. So, I started playing around with the idea of a music player that could live right in my terminal.

# What my Project Does?

Basically, it lets you listen to music without leaving your command line. You can use it in a traditional CLI way, or there's a more modern TUI built with Textual if you prefer something more interactive(TUI support will be added in later releases). It handles online song streaming, local file playback, playlist management, lyrics, and even Spotify playlist imports.

Choose your interface: CLI or TUI, whatever suits your style.
Online song streaming: Stream directly without downloads.
Local playback: Play your offline music.
Playlist management: Create, edit, and organize your playlists.
Spotify integration: Import your Spotify playlists (securely, of course).
