Looking for advice on how to structure my app

Hello,

I am working on an application that has a web interface that users can register on but mainly works with sending text messages.

Since I am kind of new to Flask, I am unsure about how to structure this application. I have not yet finished the functionality of the app but this is what my structure looks like right now:

​

project folder

* main
* assets
* core
* \_\_init\_\_.py
* views.py
* messages
* \_\_init\_\_.py
* views.py
* logic
* logic.py
* static
* templates
* users
* \_\_init\_\_.py
* views.py
* \_\_init\_\_.py
* models.py
* [app.py](https://app.py)

​

Within the core folder, I have the views that actually render templates for the website visitor to see. The messages/views.py includes the routes that handle the text messaging.

Now what I am mainly concerned about is my logic folder. I want to set this app up so that every day at a given time,

Using other front end frame works with flask

Are there any other front end frame works that I can use with flask. Was using jinja2 which I’ve found to be a little slow. Currently teaching myself how to use vuejs. Returning everything in json now. Could return everything and use jquery to populate html.
Thanks in advance

Design advice needed: Editing models in views

Hello,

I'm somewhat new to Django/front end web development so I'm wondering what the best way to accomplish this would be. I have a "Rule" model which is made up of a few other models. On the view page, I'd like to list all the Rules with their associated attributes. In each Rule, I'd like the user to be able to edit it and adjust the attributes associated with the Rule. Once they click save, I'd like to update the relevant models in the database and reflect that on the page, but I DO NOT want the page to refresh. I know I can do this using a JS library but it seems, from my research, that'd I'd have to create a rather janky and potentially insecure POST request. I could use ModelForms, but I'm unclear how I basically keep the entire page from refreshing rather than just the individual Rule being edited. Any advice on how to accomplish this is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Question about handling authentications with tokens using Django Rest framework

Hello everyone! I am trying to build a mobile application with Django in the backend. For this I am using Django rest framework. Looking at the docs, I am confused about the usage of OAuth or JWT Authentication in my application. I have been using djangorestframework-jwt but this doesn't support obtaining access token after they expire using the refresh token mechanism (Note: It only supports the mechanism to refresh token before it is expired which is a different thing). So I am thinking of going with django-rest-framework-simplejwt. However, this doesn't store the refresh tokens in the database. Are there any drawbacks to it? Can I use it in my application without having to worry about the security provided that both the access-token and refresh-tokens stored in the local storage of the device are encrypted? Or is there anything else, I need to consider before taking this route? And what functionality do the Oauth toolkits provide? As far as I know OAuth is a protocol for authentication which may or may not use JWTs as token formats. Do I need to use them for better functionality whatever they maybe? To keep it simple, I just need to do what the mobile

Flask-login limit pages to admin accounts

I've implemented Flask-login extension on my site which I am very happy with. I don't want to use Flask-user yet as I want to understand everything before I give over control and become dependant on Flask-user for everything.

I've been using my google-fu for about two days and I can't find a simple way to limit pages for admins in a pythonic/flask type way. My current hack involves something like this:

@admin.route("/admin")
@login_required
def admin_home():
account_type = current_user.account_type
if account_type == "admin":
return render_template("admin/admin.html")
else:
return redirect(url_for("member.member_page"))

Which works and I will turn it into a function if its the best way to do it. BUT I can't believe there isn't a snippit

I've built my own decorator before, would you build a new decorator to between the function and the @login\_required? Or is there some easy way that I haven't found? Nothing

sessions persisting across requests

Hi all, I'm running flask with gunicorn and having issues with the session persisting across requests.
the session persists when going from /set to /check. But when a session value is set in the authenticate route
it is then lost, no idea why this is happening and a bit lost now.

# //-- api route app.py
from flask import Flask, session
from flask_session import Session
import routes.authenticate
import redis

Authenticate = routes.authenticate.Authenticate()

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SESSION_TYPE'] = 'redis'
app.SESSION_REDIS = redis.Redis("redis")
app.secret_key = "123"

sess = Session()
sess.init_app(app)

@app.route("/set", methods=["GET"])
def set():
session["test] = "foo"
print(session)

Serialchemy: a library to serialize/deserialize SQLAlchemy models

https://github.com/esss/serialchemy

_Serialchemy was developed as a module of a lib to create Restful APIs using Flask and SQLAlchemy. We first tried marshmallow-sqlalchemy, probably the most well-known lib for SQLAlchemy model serialization, but we faced issues related to nested models. We also think that is possible to build a simpler and more maintainable solution by having SQLAlchemy in mind from the ground up, as opposed to marshmallow-sqlalchemy that had to be designed and built on top of marshmallow._

Suggestions and reviews are extremely welcome.

Does someone has ever heard about odata and graphql?

Hi all,

currently I am reading a little about graphql, it sounds like a nice idea to make the data transaction a little faster, only add several line codes. Then I remebered another language, odata, an open data protocol, which is heavily used by SAP. Then I did a little search in google, it looks like odata is more powerful than graphql. So, I want ask you guys here, did you ever heard about the two things? Have you ever used it? What's your opinions?

Preventing dynamic javascript output in Notebook

Hi.

I have a rather unusual problem, so I couldn't find the answer to my question. People usually want to get dynamic output in cells, not reliably prevent it.

I want to use the notebook to generate reports for student submissions, so that they and me can easily review their solutions. However to do this, I need to prevent any mischievous behaviour. :)

The way it works is, the student prepares a python module with a specified interface and uploads it to a server. In a sandbox environment I run a notebook that imports that module, runs some tests and generates some plots. The results is saved as a html, and can be displayed on the students submission page, where it can be viewed by me or him.

Is there a way to prevent the students to inject any active javascript or other malicious content into notebook cells, that might high jack my browser session (with admin/teacher login :) ) ? Do i need to prevent this in the first place?

Using the new %pip magic successfully

To use \`%pip\`, you need permission to write into pip's install prefix, which depending on the exact runtime environment you won't have (especially with JupyterHub installations). Passing the \`--user\` option will usually ensure that, but then you might want to have your notebook packages separate from ones you use in the shell – this shows how to do that.

[D] Undergraduate student feeling completely overwhelmed

As an undergrad student with a math major that wants to pursue ML in grad school (preferably the top ones) I am feeling completely overwhelmed. I need to keep my grades and GPA high for grad school, am doing research with professors (cannot make much progress as I don't understand much of the deep learning foundations), doing side projects, applying to internships and preparing for interviews, and trying to learn as much as possible in the field. I am also trying to improve my coding skills as I lack some of the more foundational knowledge in OOP and OS and so forth since I don't have a CS major. It honestly seems impossible to balance all of this and I find myself staying up late at night stressing out and trying to cram as possible and it doesn't seem to be getting me any closer to my goals. In fact it is affecting my health and relationships. Maybe I am expecting too much of myself an undergraduate student?

The major issue is just finding the goddamn time to learn the machine learning and deep learning content and keep up with what's going on while being a full time student. Much
