Is it time for Python to have a statically-typed, compiled, fast superset?

I love Python. Really enjoy writing code and cracking problems with Python. I’m by no means an expert (not even close), but have been writing Python for the past 7 years or so (happily).

Now, a few things caught my attention during this time. The first was Rust. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes to have a powerful compiler and static types and low memory consumption and speed. Sure, Rust is the extreme, but still, a lot to learn here. Not to criticize Python, since the errors have improved drastically, MyPy has evolved significantly, the language is getting faster. But yeah, Rust in a whole new level in several aspects (reinforcing: this is NOT a comparison, but rather a reference).

The other thing that was interesting to me, was the potential of type annotations to help make for a faster, safer experience on the compiler end of things. One example is seen in Meta’s Cinder project, on the docs it explains how typing can be used to reduce the number of steps for the compiler ([cinder/static_python.rst at cinder/3.8 · facebookincubator/cinder · GitHub\](https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder/blob/cinder/3.8/CinderDoc/static\_python.rst)), making it more effective.

The ecosystem definitely is not lacking on projects: Cinder, MyPyC, Nuitka, PyPy, Pyston,

What do you use to run Jupyter notebook?

I just started learning ML with Jupyter notebook, I am not sure which IDE to use

Jupyter notebook with anaconda seems the simplest but lack intellisense, so I am kinda gravitating toward PyCharm or VS studio code. any suggestion?

I've built an app to show how to build a complete web app

I've built tozo.dev to demonstrate how to build a (Progressive) web app with a Python-Quart backend, and a Typescript-React frontend running in AWS. I've included in the repository, github.com/pgjones/tozo everything needed to reproduce it i.e. all the code, the CI/CD actions, and the Terraform infrastructure definitions.

The commits are ordered and explained, and I hope that you can follow them to build you own app, alternatively you can just take code as a blueprint.

The app itself manages to-dos, but this is just as an example. If you remove this functionality you have an app including user management ready to go.

I use this to help train engineers, and I use (and have used) the stack for production projects.

(I did post about this earlier in the week but I don't think I explained it very well).

Python Turtle (Quick and easy way to visualize, code inside)

Dear Friends,

Wanted to share with you this nice visualization I did with the Python Turtle library.

In this video, I show how to visualize the famous Zeno's Mice problem.

At first, I qualitatively describe the problem,

then show visualization with Python Turtle, code available in the description of the video.

It is mostly based on the code of the python turtle academy.

Then I also show that those curves are actually all around us.

Finally, I show a simple and elegant solution to a system nonlinear system of coupled ordinary differential equations. Using symmetry we can reduce the system to a single equation.

Complex numbers also help simplify the solution.

Finally, I show how such behavior happens in ants in real life.

Enjoy:

Deploying a relatively resource intensive, pre-trained ML model with Django

Hey there Django community!

I have a relatively resource intensive pre-trained ML model as well as a Django website. (Not deployed)

Currently, the inference from the ML model is done in its own .py file in one of the Django apps.

I am wondering if I can deploy the Django website like this without encountering major bills from AWS? Or is there any smarter way of doing it?

I’m new to AWS and deployment in general.

Thanks so much!

Edit: spelling

Django Rest Framework - how to change initial data of a serializer before validating and saving ?

**Intro -** A text snippet has a title, body, author and some tags associated with it. In the post request I send the data like this -

{
title : 'Hello world',
body : 'Some random text',
tags : 'Horror'
}

There are two tables - 1. tags - to store the different tag names and 2. snippet - to store the text snippets. They are linked by a table snippet\_tags which has snippet and tag id as FK.

class Tags(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=256)
active = models.SmallIntegerField(default=1)
owner = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

class Snippet(models.Model):
text = models.TextField()
body = models.TextField(null=True)
owner = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tags)

The best literature to study Django Rest Framework

Hi folks!

What is in your opinion the best literature to study DRF? I have already read Django for APIs but my thought is that this book shallowly touches the topic of DRF by that I mean I would like to read more about code organization, serialization of nested models, how proper APIs should look, etc.

Django vs Flask - which enables faster development?

I have read in many places that a Django application is faster to develop, developers use Django when they have to build something fast.

But recently I had an interview at HPE, and the interviewer asked me difference between Flask and Django. I added the point stating that an app can be built faster using Django, to which he replied that I am wrong, and building apps using Flask is faster, and that I have to do more research about Flask.

So what what are your opinions??

PyUpdater is no longer maintained. What now? - Tufup: automated updates for stand-alone Python applications.

Hello world! I want to recommend a wonderful open-source package called **Tufup.** It's a simple software updater for stand-alone Python *applications*. This package was created as a replacement for **PyUpdater**, given the fact that [PyUpdater has been archived and is no longer maintained](https://github.com/Digital-Sapphire/PyUpdater#this-is-the-end). However, whereas **PyUpdater** implements a *custom* security mechanism to ensure authenticity (and integrity) of downloaded update files, **Tufup** is built on top of the security mechanisms implemented in the [python-tuf](https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf) package, a.k.a. **TUF** (The Update Framework). By entrusting the design of security measures to security professionals, **Tufup** can focus on high-level tools.

Do note that, although **Tufup** offers the same basic functionality as **PyUpdater**, there are some differences:

* **Tufup** uses [python-tuf](https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf) to secure the update process. This means you'll need to understand a little bit about the principles behind [TUF](https://theupdateframework.io/overview/). You can tailor the level of security to your needs, from highly secure, to slightly secure.
* **PyUpdater** was tightly integrated with [PyInstaller](https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/), but **Tufup** is not. You *can* use **Tufup** with **PyInstaller**, as illustrated in the [tufup-example](https://github.com/dennisvang/tufup-example), but it is not required. You can also use it with any other packaging method, or you can even distribute a plain python script or just any directory of files.
