AF Questions on a github repo / second guessing myself for a job interview

Hello,

I’m interviewing for a flask developer position and part of the process is this:

“Use Case: Building a Cloud Portal

After looking around to leverage other gov code, you find an available repo to use as a portal for your future cloud portal. Before using it, you want to review the instructions, deploy the system locally to your computer, and provide technical feedback on the README.md file that you could use to streamline the local deployment of the application.

After getting the system running, you are excited to show your work and setup a demo for the application for us to see.

The repo is locating here: https://github.com/dod-ccpo/atst”

After attempting to deploy this application on multiple systems (mac os, windows, linux and docker) I’m unable to for a multitude of reasons,

My questions are the following: Is this code base fucked or what? What’s the point of using poetry (first time ive ever seen it) when better alternatives exist? Why reinvent the wheel? Why the hell would you want to use one script rules them all? Is this repo a test and it’s not meant to at work at all and they want to see what I say?

And also, for the record the docker deployment doesn’t

Show profile page after login

If possible I'd like some help with a little self-teaching project. So I was following flask's own tutorial to build a blog. See here. I've managed to get the login and registration pages up and running with a connection to a mariadb server sitting on a raspberry pi in my network.

So I decided to expand on it to create a profile page which requires the user to be logged in to view. I created a new py file and a new html page to display this profile page. However, when I add the @loginrequired to the blueprint route for the profiles page it throws an app.context error.

Profile page code snippet

@zerg.beforeapprequest
def loadloggedinuser():
userid = session.get('userid')

if userid is None:
g.user = None
else :
db = getdb()
cur = db.cursor()

My startup failed, so I open sourced the code. I hope someone finds it useful.

Best way to display python code and graphic outcomes in a Django site?

If I want to display some python code, and its resulting output and graphs as part of a Django page (I haven't decided if the visitors can or cannot modify the code, and rerun), what is the best way to do it? If I allow visitors to tweak the python code to see different output or graphs, is it really risky as a site security point of view?

Creating a scalable Flask Application

We have a large flask application containerized using docker, different services are exposed via different endpoints. The application has a total of 5 containers with multiple deep learning models

The system is supposed to get data in large bulk, so it should be able to use hardware at full capacity on heavy load

I researched and found some ways (mentioned below) to make application scalable but which one to choose

1. Gunicorn
2. Docker swarm

Does your Flask-powered site has robots.txt?

My first Flask project went into production mode a couple of days ago. What's different about my project is that I'm replacing a 5-year old php-powered site with a brand new python app. The project is a directory for professional services, and the old site was built using WordPress. I've analysed the structure and tried to preserve all of the important endpoints, but did not try to make sure that every WP endpoint would have an equivalent in the Flask app. There were just too many rudimentary endpoints that did not serve any meaningful purpose. Since the new site went live, I've been monitoring the requests that resulted in 404 error. There are hundreds of such requests per day, and it looks like most of them are made by bots. There are also lots of requests for the images that are no longer where they used to be - perhaps these images were embedded on some external sites? Anyway, one thing that I've noticed is that robots.txt is requested very often, but I did not bother adding this file. I know what robots.txt is for, but I'm not sure how it should be configured and used in the context of

Advise - Flask + ? for job board website

Hi everyone!

I'm building a job board website and I just finished building the backend using Flask + Eve. I will use MongoDB Atlas to store the database and I think I want to serve the website using Heroku. I'm a beginner with web apps but I've been writing Python and Scala for my DS 9-5 since I got out of college. My question is, how should I proceed with this project? The way I see it I could:

Build the app fully in Flask with jinja + html and style it with Bootstrap
Separate back end and front end, write a front end app that will communicate with my flask server

I can see advantages to both of these approaches, the easiest for me would be to just use Flask all the way. But I'm interested in the future of this app if it would scale up better by having a separate front end.

For the front end I have been researching Vue.js, and React.js but I'm unsure of the benefits of one over the other.

I'm open to suggestions or any other comments! Thanks everyone!

Clean Architecture in Flask

Hi guys!


Nice to post here, I coming from Javascript and I keep looking at Flask. I'm a little noob in this framework but I wanna an alternative programming language to develop my backend as API REST.

I using Clean Architecture for all my new projects and I wanna look at some projects that use Clean Architecture.


Can you share your folder structure with Clean Architecture? I don't wanna copy your project, it's just for my personal projects.

Trying to find entry in my database but cant

So I'm trying to find a entry in my database that I created. When I go to query and compare the entry I'm looking for I get nothing.

Below is my code to query my database

enteredusername = request.form"username"
existinguser = db.session.query(UsersTable).filterby(username = enteredusername)

This is the result I get

SELECT userstable.id AS userstableid, userstable.username AS userstableusername, userstable.password AS userstablepassword FROM userstable WHERE userstable.username = ?

Assistance is much appreciated

My First Django App! A diabetes management solution.

Fairly new to django, python, and programming in general. I wrote a hobby app of sorts that records blood glucose levels, insulin doses, and meals. It takes the user input and uses matplotlib to render graphs. Its a whole bunch of python pasta code holding it together, but it works, and it was a great learning experience to get the basic functionality in place.

How to design microservices using Django Rest framework?

Currently I am working on a project which is similar to online streaming platforms like Netflix, but here the content will be comics.

Project WorkFlow:

User will create his account and then he will buy a subscription plan of his choice and then he can have access to the comics with respect to his subscription plan.

Firstly we thought to build as a monolithic application, but i feel this project can be build using microservices, for eg there can be three microservices, each will be a rest api

Microservice 1 --> Authentication

Microservice 2 --> Subscription and payment handling

Microservice 3 --> Comic books hosting based on subscription

Also I am a bit confused with the database part like each service will have it's own data layer or a single data layer to all the services? Any leads on this would be appreciated.

Should I go ahead with this approach or is there a better alternative to that?

Please do share articles or material that could be any use to me.

Scrapera: A universal tools of scrapers for humans

The toughest part of data science and machine learning is the collection of data itself. The huge requirements of data in recent years and the difficulty of obtaining such data inspired me to create project Scrapera, a universal scraper library.

The aim of Scrapera is to ease the process of data collection so that ML engineers and researchers can focus towards building better models and pipelines than worrying about collection of data.

Scrapera has a collection of scrapers for commonly found domains such as images, text, audio, etc to help you with your data collection process. Scrapera is written in pure python3, has full support for proxies and is continuously updated to support new versions of websites.

If you found this initiative helpful then star the GitHub repository and consider contributing with your own scrapers to help fellow researchers! Contributions and scraper requests are always welcomed! :)

Please note that Scrapera is currently in beta and I am actively looking for contributors for this project. If you are willing to contribute then please contact me. Thanks for reading!

P Guitar + ML

I've recently been diving into the world of guitar circuit/amp modeling and where ML is starting to have an impact. I am still working on the video, in which I interview a researcher from Neural DSP (Lauri Juvela), but have just published the sister blog post. Would love to get any community feedback or questions, which we can hopefully get answered by Lauri.

For proper formatting, the article can be viewed on *blog.zakjost.com*. If you have questions, you can come ask them to me or Neural DSP researcher, Lauri Juvela, in this thread or the official discussion thread *here*.

## Introduction

If you play electric guitar, you probably know that “tube amps” have been the gold standard since the beginning. Originally, amplifiers were just about making the guitar louder, but it's become more than that–it's about manipulating the character of the audio to make it sound more pleasing or achieve some artistic effect. What makes vacuum tubes so attractive is the peculiar non-linearities they introduce to the incoming signal as a byproduct of their interactions with the rest of the circuit when they're pushed to the limits of their operating ranges. Or “distortion” for short. If you push a sine wave
