Why use the ORM over standard SQL?

I am learning Django and have an intermediate understanding of SQL. I had previously set up scripts with a cursor in Python to just run SQL queries. I'm wondering why Django has you use the ORM to run SQL statements as opposed to just letting you write them in as is?

For example when creating columns:

name = models.CharField(max_length = 50)

instead of the simpler:name VARCHAR(50)

I am fine learning the ORM, but it seems pointless if I already know SQL. Considering that some of my scripts and views in SQL are 100+ lines long, I am anticipating that this is going to be a needless complication trying to rewrite this in the ORM.

So what is the rationale for using the ORM and why does it make you use it if it's literally just going to convert it to SQL before passing it to the SQL server?

DateTimeField

I have written a DRF api that spits out data similar to this:


{
"id": 7,
"title": "System Restored",
"description": "A fix has been rolled out and the system is functional again.",
"call_to_action": "None",
"call_to_action_url": "http://www.example.com",
"system_image_name": "checkmark.icloud",
"identifier": "issuefixes",
"pushed_to_user": true,
"created_at": "2023-12-03T06:34:08.428398-08:00"
},
{
"id": 6,
"title": "System Outage",
"description": "We have identified an issue preventing users from saving new paints. We are working on a fix and expect the issue to be resolved in an hour.",
"call_to_action": "View more on Twitter",

Python module that would operate computer like self operating computer using computer vision

So we have multiple modules like selenium etc that automate the computer / web page interaction. Now, self operating computer script that was just released tries to explain to gpt4 what it is looking at on computer screen with gpt 4 vision and allows it to use the computer according to a prompt.

It seems to me that there should be a module that does the same. Explains to llm what it can do with prompts using mouse / keyboard. Customized to different os's.

So then all we would have to do is load the module and be able to do something similar for our own special needs.

Is anyone working on something like this?

Great examples of multi-language flask apps? looking for inspiration

Greetings! I'm thinking to add multi-language support to https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

What's the typical "best practice" workflow here? Something supporting gettext/.po files, which can be edited in another app, and use those strings in the app itself?

(My dream/idea is to have the language flag available in the app, just like any ordinary website)

Whats some flask based webapps that do this really well, that I could check out for inspiration?


Thanks for your time all!

SSHaMan: A TUI for Managing SSH connections using Python & Textual

Good evening everyone. I just wrapped up my first open source project. It's functional at the moment, but definitely still alpha. It's a tool that you can use to manage SSH connections from inside the terminal.

I'm a pretty avid self-hoster with... a lot... of self-hosted services and keeping track of all my VMs is kind of painful with a .bashrc file. So I thought I'd feed two birds with one scone here and make an application to help that and also learn the Textual framework. This application presently doesn't do much that their demos don't do (I was able to repurpose their FileTree and just extend a few buttons), but I plan on digging in and learning Textual in subsequent versions to make this even more useful.

I would welcome any feedback! If anyone would like to contribute, I am absolutely open to PRs as well!

EDIT: D'oh! Forgot the link!

map-nl: Quickly create PC4 maps of the Netherlands

I just released a new small hobby project: map-nl

[Github](https://github.com/fpgmaas/map-nl)

It is a Python package that helps users quickly create maps of the Netherlands at the Postal Code 4 level. Nothing groundbreaking, but fun to develop and hopefully useful to some nonetheless. For example, creating a choropleth map of the Netherlands becomes as simple as:

import pandas as pd
from map_nl import ChoroplethMapNL

df = pd.read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fpgmaas/map-nl/main/data/woz-pc4.csv")

m = ChoroplethMapNL(geojson_simplify_tolerance=0.0001).plot(
df,
pc4_column_name="pc4",
value_column_name="WOZ",
legend_name="Average WOZ Value"
)
m.save("map.html")

Curious for your thoughts, please let me know if you have any feedback!

Where do you get your images from?

I am building this flask web app and want to put in some images, but I don't know where from. To be specific: do I just put the URL of an image from online, do I download them and just use the local path or do I just do something else like make a public git-repo and use that URL. Any help is appreciated!

Why is ´print´ not recommended in linters?

I am writing a mini-program for basic payment calculation, and after the calculation the results are printed in the terminal. However, I get the following warnings from Ruff (the Python linter that I use):

src/pfexample/foodpayment.py:39:5: T201 print found
src/pfexample/foodpayment.py:51:5: T201 print found
src/pfexample/foodpayment.py:52:5: T201 print found
src/pfexample/foodpayment.py:54:5: T201 print found
src/pfexample/foodpayment.py:56:9: T201 print found

I know that I can turn off this check in the settings, BUT I don't why print is bad in the code. What would be the alternatives if not using print?

When should I start learning flask?

So basically I am a 12th grade student who have a sound knowledge of python basics, functions, file handling and exception handling. I am planning to move on to OOPs and making some projects after I finish my final examinations. But before I do that i have a doubt like what are the exact pre requisites I need to learn in python before moving to any python framework(like flask).

Highest Paying Django Companies

I was doing some scraping and now have a db of about 4k job openings. About 200 of those are specifically hiring for Django Developers. I created a page that list the companies that pay the most for Django Developers.

Check it out here: https://gettjalerts.com/jobs/django/highest-paid/

P.S. You can also create an alert that will notify you of any new Django jobs on the market (on the home page).
