Django Channels

Hi so i need to implement notifications in my application and I have a few questions about Django channel layer(COuld really use some help here):



1. Does every consumer instance get its own channel layer name ? ( lets say i have 2 websocket URLs mapped to 2 consumers , and every client establishes a connection to both these consumers via the url router )



2. Is the channel layer name uniquely generated only for that specific connection ? and therefore might be different if the same consumer spins up another instance of itself for a connection ?



3. How do i store and access these channel layer names for each user when i need to add them to a group or something . Do i just store them in a database for the duration of the connection and get rid of them after ?

I wish all vibe coders used Django...

Batteries included frameworks like Django are massively underrated for indie founders with limited coding knowledge because ... SOMEONE ELSE already solved their security, auth, design patterns etc for them.

I've found it so easy to spin up a new Django project with Cursor, and just get all the basic stuff done before I get to work.

Whereas I've just taken over a 'vibe coded' next.js application from another agency that has no security at all anywhere and I was able to just curl the api endpoints and extract everything.

Not even one of those 'API key in public' situations... just no auth at all...

We need to be louder as a community about the wonderful benefits of starting a project in Django. When I was new to web coding Django saved me as a n00b dev all those years ago by handling that stuff and having easy ways to do it.

It seems that it can also save the AI...

My open source project gets 1100+ monthly downloads

https://github.com/ivanrj7j/Font

This is a project that i did because of my frustrations with opencv


opencv does not provide you a solution for rendering custom fonts in their image, and i was kind of pissed and looked for libraries online and found one, but that library had some issues, so i created my own.

about the library:

The Font library is designed to solve the problem of rendering text with custom TrueType fonts in OpenCV applications. OpenCV, a popular computer vision library, does not natively support the use of TrueType fonts, which can be a limitation for many projects that require advanced text rendering capabilities.

This library provides a simple and efficient solution to this problem by allowing developers to use custom fonts in their OpenCV projects. It abstracts away the low-level details of font rendering, providing a clean and intuitive API for text rendering.

now when i look into stats, i am seeing almost 1100+ downloads which made me very proud


thats all rant over

opentemplate - FOSS Python template focused on developer experience, security and SOTA tooling

## What the project does?

opentemplate (https://github.com/open-nudge/opentemplate) is an easy to use, yet comprehensive Python template (single click and single command is more or less all that is needed, use as a GitHub template).

Some features (see the repo for more):

- Truly open source: no tokens, no fees, no premium plans
- Easy: clone templated repo, run pdm setup
- SOTA: best checkers for Python, YAML, Markdown, prose and more
- Secure: SLSA Level 3, SBOMs, attestations and more
- Consistent: all pipelines defined by pyproject.toml

## Target audience

Anyone creating Python projects, tested intensively (including pipelines), especially for a template repository, initial release, but likely mature enough for production

## Comparison

Detailed section provided in the docs (here: https://open-nudge.github.io/opentemplate/latest/template/about/comparison/), but briefly:

- Python-first
- Focused mainly on developer experience
- GitHub only (no external platforms necessary)
- No paid tiers, fully free (some security features are blocked for private repositories, but that is on the GitHub's side and probably for a longer post)

## Final thoughts

Happy to hear feedback and if you find it useful/interesting feel free to share/star, thank you in advance.

PS. Might be slow to respond due to poor internet connection today :(

Best YouTube Project-Based Tutorials for Django + DRF + React Full-Stack Apps?

Hey everyone,
I'm currently learning Django and really enjoying it. Now I want to level up by learning Django REST Framework (DRF) and how to connect a Django backend with a React frontend.

I learn best by doing, so I'm looking for solid project-based tutorials on YouTube that walk through building a full-stack app using Django + DRF on the backend and React on the frontend.

If you’ve come across any great resources or playlists that helped you, I’d love to hear about them. Thanks in advance!

Modular apps with Django

Hello all.

I’ve been working for a while with Ruby and Rails.

I will likely work as the only developer on a new project. Since there are few Rubyists were I am, I’m considering Python with Django.

So far, I’ve never really used Django, I read the docs when Django was in version 1.8.

It’s important for me to have a modular architecture with a structure like this:

- module/controllers
- module/templates
- module/models

Possibility the module part could have subdirectories.

I tend to put validation logic in form classes and will consider putting custom SQL queries outside of the model in a queries subdirectory.

When I work on an app, TDD is a requirement, is there an equivalent to Ruby’s RSpec and it’s Selenium counterpart Capybara?

If anyone has good examples of a well structured codebase that is being open source… it would be a welcome contribution.

Design Patterns You Should Unlearn in Python-Part1

Blog Post, no paywall:

Design Patterns You Should Unlearn in Python-Part1

When I first learned Python, I thought mastering design patterns was the key to writing “professional” code.

So I did the approach many others do: searched “design patterns in Python” and followed every Gang of Four tutorial I could find. Singleton? Got it. Builder? Sure. I mimicked all the class diagrams, stacked up abstractions, and felt like I was writing serious code.

Spoiler: I wasn’t.

The truth is, many of these patterns were invented to patch over limitations in languages like Java and C++. Python simply doesn’t have those problems — and trying to force these patterns into Python leads to overengineered, harder-to-read code.

I wrote this post because I kept seeing tutorial after tutorial teaching people the way to “implement design patterns in Python” — and getting it completely wrong. These guides don’t just miss the point — they often actively encourage bad practices that make Python code worse, not better.

This post is Part 1 of a series on design patterns you should unlearn as a Python developer. We’re starting with Singleton and Builder — two patterns that are especially misused.

And no, I won’t just tell you “use a module” or “use default arguments”

Modelling Vasculature through BARWs

Hey guys, I need some advice about modelling branching and annihilation random walks (BARWs) in python. I use VS Code for my coding and I'm just a beginner at python. How do people usually model random walks and what are some parameters that people include? Also, there's a lot of math related to branching, growth and termination. How do people usually add ordinary differential equations as boundary conditions and such on python ?

Early publish: django-bootyprint

Hey,

this is an early release.

I discovered this week that weasyprint (pdf generation) is capable of flex display. I have a lot of table based layouts for weasyprint, and i thought about a "weasyprint bootstrap" for a long time.

So while i got some spare time this week, i worte BootyPrint a sass css framework for weasyprint that has bootstrap in mind.

Here comes django into play - as a companion, i published django-bootyprint, which is nothing more as a weasyprint renderer with the current version of BootyPrint.

This project will grow in the next days, i'm planning to add simple font loading, as is use this package for my fantasy rpg book creation: https://public.phasesix.org/media/rulebookpdf/bookpdfenlHaGBdw.pdf

Any hint what a pdf rendering library for django could do to make our lifes easier is appreciated!

P I built a self-hosted Databricks

Hey everone, I'm an ML Engineer who spearheaded the adoption of Databricks at work. I love the agency it affords me because I can own projects end-to-end and do everything in one place.

However, I am sick of the infra overhead and bells and whistles. Now, I am not in a massive org, but there aren't actually that many massive orgs... So many problems can be solved with a simple data pipeline and basic model (e.g. XGBoost.) Not only is there technical overhead, but systems and process overhead; bureaucracy and red-tap significantly slow delivery.

Anyway, I decided to try and address this myself by developing FlintML. Basically, Polars, Delta Lake, unified catalog, Aim experiment tracking, notebook IDE and orchestration (still working on this) fully spun up with Docker Compose.

I'm hoping to get some feedback from this subreddit. I've spent a couple of months developing this and want to know whether I would be wasting time by contuining or if this might actually be useful.

Thanks heaps
