ChatGPT is coming for python devs

Today I met with a coworker to gather requirements for a new geospatial data feed he needed built. The meeting's outcome was a decision to script the process of comparing and merging 30+ CSV files into a single flattened schema for import into a cloud-based data store. Said data store was a non-negotiable constraint that only accepts a single CSV as the input. We've got two python devs in-house and a geospatial platform with python and Jupyter baked in, so python is usually our weapon of choice for scripts like this. I digress...

Based on the complexity of the task and requirements I asked for one day to write and test the script, a second day to test further, and then go-live. He was fine with that but said he wanted to try something first.

A few hours later he walked up to my desk, stuck out his hand and said "It's been nice working with you". I did that thing where you think someone's joking, but then the joke persists a little longer than you expect and you start to think they're serious, only to realize they are in fact joking....sort of.

Is there an equivalent of npmtrends.com but for python packages?

I really like python but other than mouth(youtube) to ear package recommendations and the occasional stackoverflow or github find I have been really struggling to find both popular (that are not obvious) and well-maintained packages and also compare them to other packages.

On the other hand, npm have this amazing website called npmtends which allow comparisons of packages and deeper understanding of the echo system when combined with npm's search and some basic googling...

Is there such a website for python package? what's your routine for finding new packages that are interesting and may or may not be popular?

django-auth-ldap warning

Hey guys, sorry if this isn't the right place to post this.


I have set up an LDAP backend for my organisation's internal website, but it is annoying to constantly receive warnings from it in the logs, particularly this one:


WARNING:django_auth_ldap:cn=REDACTED,ou=REDACTED,ou=REDACTED,dc=REDACTED,dc=REDACTED does not have a value for the attribute userPassword


I have it so that on any LDAP login, the LDAP user.set_unusable_password() function is run, so this warning doesn't interest me at all. Is there a way I can specifically prevent this warning from being spammed when tens of people are regularly logging into the dev server, so I can't just turn off debug=True?

brew

Does anyone know how to solve this problem, I'm wanting to use heroku, but I can't:

To use the Heroku CLI's autocomplete --

Via homebrew's shell completion:

Follow homebrew's install instructions https://docs.brew.sh/Shell-Completion

NOTE: For zsh, as the instructions mention, be sure compinit is autoloaded

and called, either explicitly or via a framework like oh-my-zsh.

2) Then run

$ heroku autocomplete --refresh-cache

OR

Use our standalone setup:

Run and follow the install steps:

$ heroku autocomplete


Bash completion has been installed to:

/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/etc/bash_completion.d

==> Summary

🍺 /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/heroku/7.67.1: 22,567 files, 85.3MB, built in 6 seconds

==> Running `brew cleanup heroku`...

Disable this behaviour by setting HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP.

Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see `man brew`).

How to deny user A from seeing content meant for user B

Hello!

I am following along Dennis Ivy's tutorial "Django To Do List App With User Registration & Login" (amazing content btw, definitely recommend for django beginners).

To give some context before my question - the project is set up so that each user has their to do list which is visible only for them:

class TaskListView(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView):
model = Task
contextobjectname = 'tasks'

def getcontextdata(self, kwargs):
context = super().getcontextdata(kwargs)
context'tasks' = context'tasks'.filter(user=self.request.user)
context'count' = context'tasks'.filter(completed=False).count()
return context






There is one thing though that wasn't properly solved - let's say we have 2 users: User A and User B. If I am logged in as User A, I can still access the

Django lists with models

Hi! I'm currently doing a course on Django and at the same time doing practice projects to learn the methods taught on the course. I have now learnt about models and I have one model called "Customer" which surprise surprise has customers in it. My app should log gym visits of these customers and that would be done with pythons datetime.now(), is it possible to include a list for the customer object that would update each visit to the object/model. So that it would be for example:

Customer:

name = "Mr X"

age="15"

visits=[01/02/2023, 01/05/2023, 01/08/2023\]

and then you could append these dates to this customer's model whenever he logged into the gym. Or what would be the best way to implement something like this?

I am very new to Django, so please be patient if this is something trivial. I have been trying to figure out a way to solve it for hours.

Is there an platform dedicated to deploy django application like laravel Forge ?

Hi,

I have been using django since many years now and i always wonder if there was a platform that could be use to deploy a django project without pain and followong the same process regardless of where it's deployed.

I mean if you deploy on AWS ECS the process is different than on Digital Ocean, even if you are using Docker. So I thought maybe there is a platform providing such service, so i can deploy any of my project and client's project very quicly and easily.

Django (Both in backend and frontend) or Django Rest Framework + React?

I would like to develop a website (like Zillow) by myself and I don't know if it would be easier to do it using only Django (with Django templates and vanilla Javascript for functionality and interactivity) or Django Rest Framework and React.

I have experience in React but I do not enjoy writing a separate backend and frontend. Also I don't like React that much. Is it possible, easier and better for only one dev to use only Django for a project like that?

Django Knox login endpoint not working

I used files from "https://github.com/Omkar0231/Django-Login-API" with no change. But, the login request from Postman is resulting in error, "detail": "JSON parse error - Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)", while the terminal shows "Bad request...".

The source code developer in above git also explained it in a video, "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d0fiPj0dsA", however, in video everything seems to be working as expected.

Whatever I understood from Googling, I thought that a bearer token is to be included in the login request as header. But I don't know where to find the bearer token in my Django app. However, in the video, the original author/developer did not include any such header token for the login request from Postman.

Please help me figure out the issue.
