Pyforms: Embedding a pyplot into a pyForm using ControlMatplotlib

I have come across the ControlMatplotlib control, however I cannot for the life of me figure out how to pass the pyplot to this control.

There is little to no example code for the use of this control and the docs don't have example code.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

[AF] Does anyone use webtest? If so, why use it over flask's built-in test client?

I've been learning unit/integration testing following [sloria/cookiecutter-flask](https://github.com/sloria/cookiecutter-flask) as an example. I know this approach is opinionated, but does anyone know what value webtest brings over flask's built-in test client? I'm relatively new to flask but I suspect that the author simply prefers using webtest (perhaps since it's a more general tool).

Thumbnail in form or formset

Hi everyone,

What's the easiest way to display the image that has been uploaded to the form in addition to or rather than just the filepath of the image within a form or formset. Really struggling with this one.

Thanks!

Allowing user to add details to flask-mail message

So I have a modal on my site from which I want my user to be able to enter their email, hit submit, and then the app to message me with the users email. So far I've got the site sending a message but I'm unsure how to get the users email into the message. Any help would be much appreciated.

My code for sending the email


@app.route('/sendmail/', methods=['POST','GET'])
def send_mail():
try:
#emaiil = request.form['email']
msg = Message("Access request",
sender="SENDING_EMAIL",
recipients=["MY_EMAIL"])
msg.body = "Users email is"
mail.send(msg)
flash('Request sent!')
return redirect(url_for('main'))
except Exception, e:
return(str(e))

My modal for which the user enters their email


<div class="modal-body">
<p>Password can be obtained from somewhere</p>
<form action="{% print url_for('send_mail') %}" class ="form- inline" method="post">
<input type = "email" class = "form-control" placeholder="Email" name = "email">
<a href="/sendmail" class ="btn btn-default">Submit</a>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data- dismiss="modal modal2">Close</button>
</form>

The modal is called from here


@app.route("/", methods=['POST','GET'])
def main():
return render_template('main.html')

Domain Tree Structure Best Practices?

I'm curious as to what judgement criteria is generally used when organizing the placement of apps (or sections) of a website within the tree structure?

In particular, when is it best practice to place an app name in front of your domain www.appname.domain.com vs behind it www.domain/appname.com? Is this related more to SPA's?

[D] Machine Learning - WAYR (What Are You Reading) - Week 44

This is a place to share machine learning research papers, journals, and articles that you're reading this week. If it relates to what you're researching, by all means elaborate and give us your insight, otherwise it could just be an interesting paper you've read.

Please try to provide some insight from your understanding and please don't post things which are present in wiki.

Preferably you should link the arxiv page (not the PDF, you can easily access the PDF from the summary page but not the other way around) or any other pertinent links.

Most upvoted papers two weeks ago:

/u/marcossilva_604: https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.06006.

/u/hohomomo1212: Learning to Play with Intrinsically-Motivated Self-Aware Agents (https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.07442). It is a paper on a form of reinforcement learning without extrinsic rewards. Think of a robot wandering around in the world without being told what to do but instead figuring out what to do by itself using a model of its own abilities. That's why they call it self-aware. Pretty cool :)

Besides that, there are no rules, have fun.

What are some fun things to do with Python?

I became fluent in Python a few years ago but never used it for anything besides assigned coursework or job related tasks. I’ve been looking to apply my skills in a way that would inspire me to excel while being enjoyable and have been having a fairly hard time with it.

So what are the most fun things you’ve used Python for that can be turned into a long term hobby?

Never put DEBUG = True in any django server that is accessible from outside your LAN

While this is quiet obvious and must have already read it in django docs, many people (me included) still do it sometimes.

**Why?**

Mainly because ~~most recommended django configurations,~~ Django doesn't serve static/media files if `Debug = False`. So you might be tempted to temporarily set `Debug = True` while your client is reviewing the website and making the final changes before deployment.

**Why `Debug = True` is Evil?**

When any exception happen, django expose all your settings, environment variables to the world.
Remember that `SECRET_KEY` settings that django tells you never reveal? It's there for anyone across the globe to view freely.
Database password? Yep, it's there also.
Email credentials? API for external services? All there.

I know some of you would call me stupid for setting `Debug = True` on a test site that is accessible online and I would agree.
I'm writing this so that no one else would be doing that stupid mistake
