All feedback appreciated.

Django admin usage

Hi all,

Just wondering how many people use the Django admin site when developing for clients? I have never actually used the admin functionality for a client build, Ive always built the 'admin stuff' myself.

The reason Im asking is I feel I may be missing a trick and have always liked some of the 'out-of-the-box' features bundled with admin but have never taken the time to try and customise the site.

Thanks.

Creating magic functions in IPython

Hi!

I just found out that there is a subreddit for IPython - that's super cool!

Sorry for a duplicated post (I already wrote about this in r/Python and r/learnpython), but I wrote a short series of 3 articles about how to create magic functions in IPython and I thought it might be interesting for some people here. The documentation of IPython is pretty amazing, but I wanted to practice a bit and create some fun little helpers in each part.

So here is what you can find in each part:

* [Part 1](https://switowski.com/python/ipython/2019/02/01/creating-magic-functions-part1.html) \- where I'm explaining what magic functions are and I'm creating a line magic to interpret some simple *Polish notation* math equations.
* [Part 2](https://switowski.com/python/ipython/2019/02/08/creating-magic-functions-part2.html) \- where I'm talking about cell magic (and "line AND cell magic functions") and I'm writing a type checker that will run `mypy` on a block of code (cell).
* [Part 3](https://switowski.com/python/ipython/2019/02/15/creating-magic-functions-part3.html) \- where I'm talking about `Magics classes`, explaining the difference between creating a magic function with a decorator vs writing a class inheriting from `Magics` and finally - I'm writing a type checker (I actually found the type checker from the previous part to be quite useful!) that can check previous commands (in the same

Flask Simple Background Task Control

Hello. I'm trying to connect a frontend UI with a task running in the background.
I know about celery but I'm looking for something simpler which is faster to set up and requires less effort.

Why does mybinder.org not recognize a requirements.txt file?

I am attempting to load a Jupyter Notebook through mybinder.org. The repository that the Notebook is in includes a `requirements.txt` file with the content

parsl

because the Notebook uses the `parsl` library.

When I load the notebook and import the library, execution stops with the error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'parsl'

The `requirements.txt` file is _right there_. I have no idea what else to do to get mybinder.org to load the module. What am I missing?

text adventures

is anyone still into them? its basically all i write, but its fun! curious if anyone actually plays them still, at least if theyre written in python..

​

im a fan of using standard libraries as to make it as transferrable to each interpreter as possible lol (looking into making a game that clears the screen quickly as to make an old roguelike but even thats far off for me.

Today is python birthday, what do you wish?

First message of Guido releasing python was the 20 February 1991 on alt.sources.
What would you like to wish for the 28y of python?

I would love to see no more 2.7 code around.

Anyway have any experience/tips converting a Flask app using Jinja templating to React?

I have a Flask app that heavily used Jinja templating. However, the issue that I am facing right now is that the app is a static webpage and I want to move over to a SPA in React. So the plan is get rid of all the jinja templating and convert all the jinja features I was using to React features. Does anyone here have any experience dealing with this transition?

Image Pixelator using Python

This is my first post so go easy on me lol.

I made a naive algorithm which pixelates a given image by calculating the average pixel value using PIL and opencv.It is very slow(duh!), took around 10-15 sec to process a 4k image.Please try it out and give me suggestions to do it better or faster.[https://github.com/k4rth33k/code\_bunker/blob/master/pixel.py](https://github.com/k4rth33k/code_bunker/blob/master/pixel.py)

DRF Alternatives.

Hey there everyone. I've gotten quite used to the DRF + Front end framework (Vue) workflow over the past few months, and it's made me realize just how strong Django can be as a back end only solution. For anyone with more diverse experience, what are some alternatives you guys have used for building out DB's / API's that don't involve Django? Specifically in the JS world. Do they compare?
