How does secret_key help?

This isn't the flask subreddit but I thought I could get some help here. In flask, you are forced to have a secret\_key to prevent cookie manipulation and session hijacking. I don't understand how does the secret\_key help and work under the hood, to prevent such breaches.

Not sure if my Django virtual environment is set up correctly.

I've set up a Django virtual environment. And when I start it by running:

>workon my\_django\_environment

The prompt then displays as follows:

>(my\_django\_environment) pi@raspberrypi:\~ $

Is this correct? Should the pi@raspberrypi:\~ still be there?

If I do this:

>(my\_django\_environment) pi@raspberrypi:\~ $ ls

Then it lists everything in my actual non virtual environment Home folder. But when following guides for setting this up - when they use ls it only shows the files in the virtual environment folder?

I'm confused...

django best way to manage CRUD

I am performing a way to Delete/update/get in a same view like

​

class APICRUDVIEW(APIView):

def get(self,request,id):

....



def put(self,request,id):

....

​

def delete(self,request,id):

....



​

​

So that thing doesn't violate \`SRP\` (Single Responsibility Principle ). Like according to that a class strictly should perform a single task. Or its best way to include all these in a class in django ?

I need an IDE for Django that supports SSH.

I have a dev server, on which I intend to learn Django/Python. I would use VSCodium but it looks like the Python extension has the telemetry which I use VSCodium to avoid. And when it comes to PyCharm the community version doesn't support SSH...

Any recommendations?

Three alternative ways of deploying Django

These are the notes from my talk at DjangoCon EU last week:

[https://gist.github.com/tomdyson/025be30855262287ae048bf4371d26f8](https://gist.github.com/tomdyson/025be30855262287ae048bf4371d26f8)

In 30 minutes I built a very simple Wagtail site and deployed it three times: on Dokku, Netlify and Google Cloud Run. Hopefully the instructions are enough for others to recreate the steps. Some caveats:

* although this demo uses Wagtail, any Django app with a working Dockerfile should work in the same way
* the steps are designed for a quick, impressive demo, and are not intended as best practice reference :)
* in particular, the Cloud Run steps are not complete - pushing a Docker-enabled app is really easy, but database connections and shell access (e.g. for running management commands) is annoyingly fiddly.

I believe the DjangoCon EU organisers will release talk videos in the next few weeks, but in the meantime here are the [slides from the talk](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTP9sof4pZO6E9f6gnAVyrP0OW7y42npYdNCWYDMv2NmYivMXCvLdaO8y4eMBDdOh2otgrT-IqmfgNH/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000#slide=id.g98cee58a9e_0_41).

I created a webapp to help find new fantasy football team names. Feedback appreciated!

xpost from r/fantasyfootball

In my spare time I build things. I created [Fantasy Name Search (fantasynamesearch.com)](http://fantasynamesearch.com/) to help managers find new team names based on their current roster of players or any other key terms. I wrote everything in Python and used the pool of Yahoo's 2019 public leagues as source data for all 500,000 team names. I hope you find it somewhat useful in finding a new team name, if not just for fun to find the most outrageous team names. Let me know what you think!

For those more programmatically literate, I wrote an article describing the guts of the project and process in a little more detail: [https://medium.com/swlh/in-search-of-a-fantasy-football-name-5656e8af5944](https://medium.com/swlh/in-search-of-a-fantasy-football-name-5656e8af5944)

Should I split my API and Worker?

I have a flask api that currently puts jobs on rq queues to be processed. The api and the "processing engine" is all part of the same flask code base and I launch it all together in a single docker container (with docker-compose). Let's say I have this app deployed on an EC2.

I am confused on how to scale this when there is a bottleneck on jobs and not the API. If I scale the EC2 instances directly, I'll have multiple APIs running, but the bottleneck is in the queues.

So should I instead split my API and Queues into separate docker instances? And then deploy each of those on separate servers? That way I can load balance the queue servers separately but the API can still run on a single instance.

Just want to make sure I am thinking about this correctly.

New easy to use JWT token based Authentication for Flask Apps

​

​

[Flask JWT Router](https://preview.redd.it/kljqppppiro51.png?width=4113&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb193e7ff953351f4267807cae44f530aa8c2ed1)

Please try out a new token based Authentication library for flask. Great for apps that provide data for Single Page apps (React, Angular, Vue.js etc.)

[https://github.com/joegasewicz/flask-jwt-router](https://github.com/joegasewicz/flask-jwt-router)

It directly hooks up to Flask-SqlAlchemy, so your logged in user is accessible on Flask's global context object (Please see the docs)

Solution for allowing API access from external apps?

Hello!


I have a django webapp and wanted to hear some suggestions for api access for external applications. I would like to allow users to be able to make protected API calls into my platform with best security practices.

What I had in mind was giving a token for external platforms and setting up an API urls route for all the calls that they may need. But that is about the most I can think of. Any one with a system with great suggestions?
