Linux Python devs, what distro do you use and why?

I am curious what others are using and why? So far I have been using CentOS, because it is the default (mandatory) one in my organisation.

Real world projects recommendation for go to next level

I have some background in django: drf basics, models, forms etc etc. But my projects are just cruds and basic things, such as requests lib to call github apis and view some data about repos, wagtail for basic cms, such as site for articles.

But in the projects could have more complex things, such as: get the posta with more comments in the week, learn pillow to image manipulation etc.

but I do not know much more to learn than this, and I want something that is more than four or five lines of a slightly more complex queryset.

I try learn react for learn about auth with api in the front end, but js and react is not easy, and by fact that i'm not proficient in back-end, i'm learning more about django, python (i will read the fluent python in the next week too), and i need finish the sql/postsgres book and maybe learn mongodb. After some months, i will learn js using ydkjs books (really learn) .

I read about some companies looking for "backoffice", but I'm not quite sure what that is and how to build it. I also saw a vacancy needing to create a website

Feedback requested: I released my first Python package to pypi. It makes reading and managing config files convenient.

[https://pypi.org/project/gconf/](https://pypi.org/project/gconf/)

It is a very small package, just 330 LoC, including tests. But I use it in almost all of my other projects because it makes using config files just a no-brainer. Currently only yaml-files are supported.

A few weeks ago, I decided to make it public.

Please let me know what you think and if you see ways to improve it! Thanks and have a great weekend.

Storing Data / Object State Between URL's in a User Session

I am working to make a machine learning model / simulation web app, but am still pretty new to Flask. The model and simulation is a multi-step process and I'm struggling with the best way to handle data sharing across different url's within a user session. The workflow consists of:

​

* route(/index): User enters basic inputs into a webform
* These inputs are combined with a database table (every session will use the same data here), a quick model is trained, and a custom dataset for the current user's simulation is returned.
* The user is also automatically redirected to route(/simulation)
* This step requires \~10-15 seconds
* The returned custom dataset is \~25MB

​

* route(/simulation): User enters different parameters into a new webform, which are combined with the custom dataset generated from the previous step and a simulation is run that returns the final result
* This process should be iterative. The webform input parameters will be constantly updated, but the custom dataset generated in the first step will stay constant.
* This process should be as fast as possible. The simulation itself takes 1-2 seconds if the custom

[Ask Flask] Background update of a global dictionary shared between requests

I need to update a configuration dictionary of service (uri) lookups (< 1k entries) in the background of a flask app.
What’s the most lightweight way to achieve this?

I would like to keep everything in process and I don’t want to make another network request to something external.

It doesn’t matter if a dirty read is performed from the dictionary as the app is fault tolerant and will retry.

Formset: Saving Unchanged data

Formsets only pass changed fields via request.post to the post form.
There are fields in the form which are not changed but I want to post to a model.
These are new posts to a model and not changes to existing data.

For example:

Class Name(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=25)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=25)

class NameForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Name
fields = '__all__'

if the first name is changed but not the last name; Only the first_name will be passed as last_name was not changed.

Given this, the form will not save because it is not valid; it is missing the last_name.

I believe setting 'has_changed' = True for all form fields will work but I am unsure how to do this.

So how do I get all the form data so it will be valid?

Thanks

How to implement Django query filter using with AND

I'm trying to find a more efficient way to retrieve data from the database. My scenario is that I want to get a bunch of posts from the Post model based on the condition that the post must have a particular tag and that the post belongs to a person I follow and if the post belongs to such a person I shoud only get their public posts. Along with that, I want all of my posts too for that tag and if they are my posts, then I should get all public and private posts. Currently, I've come up with this Post.objects.filter(tags\_\_field = tag, owner\_id\_\_in= user\_ids, privacy\_setting\_\_in= privacy\_options) How can I use the and condition to get the result I want?

I converted MIT’s OpenCourseWare ”learn python course” to a layout which views better on all devices

I had been working on a project to give more depth to a YouTube playlist by allowing other media such as documents and sites all from the web. It morphed into this and one of my first personal projects using it was with MIT’s OpenCourseWare site. It just groups the URL’s and streams them from the creator.

First is my version of the Python course

models.py reserved names; list of all (if using Postgres)?

Ran into an issue earlier today where I was getting a `TypeError` of `int object is not callable` error when trying to save a new entry in a model in the Django admin. Turns out it was because I was using `save` as a field name, ie:

```
save = models.SmallIntegerField(default=0)
```

The error referenced line 1091 of `/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/options.py`, which in Django 2.1 is:

```
def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
"""
Given a model instance save it to the database.
"""
obj.save()
```

So it appears the `save` field name was overriding the `obj.save()` call above?

I found this:
[Field Name Restrictions](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/db/models/#field-name-restrictions)

But is there a list of all the reserved / protected words in Django `models.py`?
