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PyUpdater is no longer maintained.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 This package was created as a replacement for **PyUpdater**, given the fact that [PyUpdater has been archived and is no longer maintained](https://github.com/Digital-Sapphire/PyUpdater#this-is-the-end).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.

Before posting your website to the sub, please change /admin to literally anything else.

A recent site posted here just did this.

People are assholes and could cause some problems for you if they have access to your admin page.

/admin is about as guessable as "password".

/literallyanythingelse has infinitely less probability of being guessed.

Per object caching using django-cacheops, or django-cache-machine

I'm working on a project: multi-user, a very large database that grows daily, and some complex queries that do things like aggregations an sums on that data. The stack is Django and DRF and the users do queries like `api/customers/` where the list of customers might have some overlap between users if the two users are in the same group.

Is there a way to do per-object-caching on the data retrieved so that if 2 users in the same "group" do a query for "customers" the first time it happens with user#1 the API hits the DB, but the second time when user#2 (in the same "group") it is a cached query and thus much faster? Also I'd like to do aggregations or filtering on the cached version when possible rather than doing an SQL query with the filter parameters.

Is this possible with django-cacheops or django-cache-machine

I wrote a Python script which can generate any city from the real world in Minecraft

Hi there! Using this Python script, you can generate any city from the real world in Minecraft. I worked on that project for a few months and finally released it as open source. I appreciate any kind of feedback!

Async proxy view for map layers in my app - is this a bad idea?

We have a mature Django app used as a user and sort of data management system (geospatial data layers). The app currently only tells our frontend which users are authenticated and gives them a list of authorized layers that is served by another "dumb" app (QGISServer). I say dumb since it doesn't know about our users. Just a nginx sub request Auth system is used.

Now we will need to add other map servers, which my require their own authentication that can't be client side, so my plan is to create a new Django proxy view. This view will deal with authentication and authorization of layers using async ORM as well as act as a proxy auth and cache to external servers. It will use async aiohttp to fetch the response tile from the mapserver, cache it in redis, and return it.

The problem is that map tiles get requested by the frontend Open Layers easily 10 at a time when you pan. And it can take a second to render the tile, download it to the proxy and then push to the client. 10 of these at a time would kill the app for a second if it had 10 wsgi

Hitting a learning wall at application factory pattern

After a month of doing this every day i’ve become really comfortable with setting up and deploying new flask apps and deploying them. I now understand the usage of blueprints, and while from an outer perspective I understand why an application factory would come in handy for large apps, I just cannot wrap my head around how the setup actually works. Every tutorial becomes so complicated very quickly and I can’t seem to find any simplified examples.

Looking for any recommended tutorials or tips to push through this wall.

How does a single running instance of a Flask application handle multiple requests at once? Is it all async or multithreaded? Or handled by the webserver (NGINX, gunicorn, etc)?

Say I had a single Flask application running on an EC2 instance, and 300+ requests were made from other machines at about the same time. How does Flask handle this? Does it spawn new threads and bounce control around?
