What are the long term goal of tasks in Django 6?

I see Django 6 is adding tasks similar to celery and wonder if the long term goal here is to replace celery with feature parity or simply act as a "celery lite"?

Asking the impossible, may be not!

So currently, If someone is going with django, they can either do 1 of the 2 and never both. If they use django fullstack then they have to duplicate the code to provide api endpoints for handhelds like mobile. If they use it just for api to be consumed by mobile apps, then you cant just use the same api with django templates for browsers.
May be someday in the future, django 7 may be, where one can use django to write an api and use the api with django templates without having to use a separate front end. I wanna use django to serve both the browser and apps on mobiles which need api endpoints.

How Do You Structure Large Django Projects? Tips for Scalability and Maintainability

Hi everyone!

I’ve been working with Django for a while, and as my projects grow, I’m realizing that structuring apps and managing dependencies gets tricky. I’d love to hear how you all approach:

* Organizing apps and reusable components
* Handling complex models and relationships
* Managing settings for multiple environments (dev, staging, production)
* Using Django signals or middleware effectively without creating spaghetti code
* Any patterns or best practices you swear by

Also, if you have experience with Django in bigger teams or production-scale projects, I’d love to hear about common pitfalls and lessons learned.

Let’s share some tips for keeping Django projects clean, scalable, and maintainable!

Help with form creation

Hello Crispy Pythonians with Nutella fingers, I need your feedback on what is the best practice to create a form and view that needs to ask for feedback about our products to the user.

I have 2 models containing fields that needs to be filled. 1 model's fields, needs to be filled just once, while the other one needs to be filled once for each category of product.
Example:
Model1 = general feedback
Model 2 = feedback for each product.

How would you set up the model/view/template and what advice would you give me?

I built a production-ready Django/DRF Boilerplate with Custom User Auth, JWT, and Spectaular Docs feedback welcome!

Hey,

I spent a while cleaning up my personal project starter and decided to open-source it as drf-boilerplate. I'm sharing it because I'm tired of rewriting the same core authentication logic for every new DRF API.

What it solves:

1. The Custom User Pain: Fully configured AbstractUser model with login via either email OR username.
2. Auth Separation: Integrated djangorestframework-simplejwt with pre-built endpoints for token refresh/blacklist.
3. Deployment Headache: Settings are split into base, development, and production, all driven by django-environ for clean .env handling.
4. UX Flows: Includes models/stubs for Email Verification and Password Reset flows (the hardest parts to set up correctly).

I'd appreciate any feedback on the file structure etc.

Skylos: Dead code + Vibe code security flaws detector

Hi everyone

I have created Skylos to detect dead code quite a while back. Just here to give a short update. We have updated and expanded Skylos' capabilities to include common security flaws generated by AI. These things include the basic stuff like SQL injection, path traversal etc. So how this works, your py files are parsed through the AST.. After that the security scanners will take over and run over that same tree. Once that is complete, a generic "dangerous" table is applied node by node to catch any security flaws. As for how the dead code side works, i'm gonna keep it short. basically it parses the py files to build a graph of functions, classes, variables etc etc. it will then record where each symbol is referenced. thats it.

# Target audience

Anyone working with python code.

# Why use Skylos?

I know people will ask why use this when there's vulture, bandit etc etc. Well I mean those are really established and great libraries too. We're kind of more niche. For starters, Skylos provides real taint tracking by propagating the taint in the AST. If i'm not wrong although i may be, bandit uses pattern matching. Just

Faster Jupyter Notebooks with the Zuban Language Server

The Zuban Language Server now supports Jupyter notebooks in addition to standard Python files.

You can use this, for example, if you have the Zuban extension installed in VSCode and work with Jupyter notebooks there. This update marks one of the final steps towards a feature-complete Python Language Server; remaining work includes auto-imports and a few smaller features.

full stack web development using Django or cybersecurity and networking. What should I chose?

This is my first post. I see that there is more insightful people in reddit. I am a computer science graduate 2025 passout. I tried for numerous mass drives and startup but failed to get in nothing. I realized i have to built a skill of my own rather than looking for company. but i dont know what to chose. Since i selected computer Science for its demand at that time but i don't even get a job.

I am thinking what to chose full stack web development or cybersecurity? if it is web development i will chose Django and i don't know much about cybersecurity... but i consider it because the rumors that it is good career path. What should i do?

D How was Multi-head Latent Attention not a thing before DeepSeek-V2 came up with it?

Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) was introduced by DeepSeek-V2 in 2024. The idea is to project keys and values into a latent space and perform attention there, which drastically reduces complexity.

What I don't understand: how did no one propose this earlier? It feels like a pretty natural next step, especially given the trends we’ve seen over the past few years.

For instance, the shift from diffusion in pixel space to latent diffusion (e.g. Stable Diffusion) followed that same principle: operate in a learned latent representation (e.g. through some modern VAE variation) for efficiency. And even in the attention world, Perceiver (https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.03206) in 2021 already explored projecting queries into a latent space to reduce complexity. MLA feels like a very small step from that idea, yet it didn't appear until 2024.

Of course, I know this is a bit of a naive take since in ML research we all know how this goes: in practice, good ideas often don't work out out of the box without "tricks" or nuances. Maybe (probably) someone did try something like MLA years ago, but it just didn't deliver without the right tricks or architecture choices.

So I'm wondering: is that what happened here? Did people experiment with latent attention

My Django based open-source project PdfDing is receiving a grant

Hi r/django,

for quite some time I have been working on the open-source project PdfDing - a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. Last week PdfDing was selected to receive a grant from the NGI Zero Commons Fund. This fund is dedicated to helping deliver, mature and scale new internet commons across the whole technology spectrum and is amongst others funded by the European Commission. The exact sum of the grant still needs to be discussed, but obviously I am very stocked to have been selected and need to share it with the community.

You can find the repository here. As always I would be quite happy about a star and you trying out the application.

Creating a migration without changing the model

What would happen if I were to remove a table column and add a new one in a migration, when I only actually added the one column to the model without removing the old one.

Reasoning:
I created a table with an inherited classes and now I want to remove a column but I don’t want to change the actual model class since other tables use it.

Learning Flask and RESTful API

Please for the love of God tell me how do I learn API oriented Flask? All the tutorials on the internet are just built around web development with hundreds lines of HTML code in them. I don't need that. I want to use Flask to work with APIs and use it as a stepping stone to eventually learn more complex frameworks like FAST API. Please don't recommend Miguel Grinberg tutorial it's a frontend oriented tutorial and only has 1 chapter on databses and 1 chapter on APIs. And please don't post links for documentation. Is there an actual practical way to learn Flask? I don't understand why isn't there a course or a big tutorial on it on the internet?? All I can find relating to Flask is either Grinberg tutorial or a couple of small articles like HOW TO BUILD YOUR API IN 3 LINES OF CODE. How come a framework so popular doesn't have any learning resources on it besides 1 megatutorial and JUST READ THE MANUAL MAN?

POS APIs: Custom Integration

Hi everyone!

I am part of a small team that runs a single owned cafe. We are looking to test our own cafe management app (currently the MVP is built with Django and React as I am developing this alone).

I am looking for POS APIs to connect to the Django backend.

The key features I am looking for is:
1. Accept and Log orders to my db (Transactional Info)
2. Basic menu functionalities (add, remove, update pricing, etc.)
3. Query order data to update things like inventory, return, wastage etc., through our already existing custom workflows.
4. Query orders based on private events and/or customer orders (I can create the segments but I need a way of communicating that to the order)

Firstly, I want to know if I am unnecessarily complicating this?

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but any leads on where I can find answers would be helpful.

I have briefly looked at Square, goTab(this ones a bit confusing) and the Toast API but I was not sure if I am locked in to use some fancy cloud system to unlock the actual stuff I need. As our primary goal is to create certain custom KPIs that enable the team to
