Windows Chrome and Firefox Cookie Extractor

# Windows Chrome and Firefox Cookie Extractor

## What my project does

The Chrome and Firefox Cookie Extractor is a Python script that allows you to extract cookies from both Chrome and Firefox browsers. It provides a convenient way to retrieve cookie information, including the domain, name, value, expiration date, and other attributes. The script supports three output formats: Netscape, JSON, and plain text.

## Target Audience

This project is intended for developers, security researchers, and anyone who needs to extract and analyze cookie data from Chrome and Firefox browsers. It can be useful for various purposes, such as:

- Debugging and testing web applications
- Analyzing user behavior and tracking
- Identifying potential security vulnerabilities
- Automating cookie extraction for data analysis

## Comparison

Compared to other cookie extraction tools, this script offers several advantages:

1. Dual-browser support: It supports both Chrome and Firefox, allowing you to extract cookies from either browser or combine cookies from both browsers into a single output file.

2. Multiple output formats: The script provides three output formats (Netscape, JSON, and plain text) to cater to different requirements and preferences.

3. Customizable output: You can specify the output file path and choose the desired output format using command-line arguments.

4. Easy to use: The script is simple to

Achieve true parallelism in Python 3.12

Article link: https://rishiraj.me/articles/2024-04/python\_subinterpreter\_parallelism

I have written an article, which should be helpful to folks at all experience levels, covering various multi-tasking paradigms in computers, and how they apply in CPython, with its unique limitations like the Global Interpreter Lock. Using this knowledge, we look at traditional ways to achieve "true parallelism" (i.e. multiple tasks running at the same time) in Python.

Finally, we build a solution utilizing newer concepts in Python 3.12 to run any arbitrary pure Python code in parallel across multiple threads. All the code used to achieve this, along with the benchmarking code are available in the repository linked in the blog-post.

This is my first time writing a technical post in Python. Any feedback would be really appreciated! 😊

Anyone use django-vite? Trying to figure out best approach to SEO

Building a website for a company I’m starting with some others. I chose the stack of django REST server using DRF and a React SPA frontend with Vite. Everything is working great but we recently were talking SEO (and meta data) and realized my stack choice isn’t the best but I’m essentially done with the mvp and want to see if I can figure out a solution without having to rip out too much. Already debating moving everything to Nextjs since I’m a big React person.

I know Google and others can scrape JavaScript now but I also know that SSR is a faster delivery for better SEO scores and also metadata (like sending a link on a social media and preloading info about it) is very important.

I stumbled upon a supported package called django-vite which seems to bring Vite into django and handle the webpack stuff. I’m assuming this will do the SSR of my application with Vite/react and I can then just ditch my hosted SPA or would I just be doing the same thing but extra steps?

Does anyone else have any tips on how to best handle my situation?

Reason I went with django instead of

How to find remote position?

Hello guys,

I'm a Django developer that's looking into working remotely / freelancing as a full stack Django developer.

I work in DevOps so I have a good knowledge of Linux, Docker, Cloud, etc.. but in my free time I practice full stack Django development and would like to make some money with that either by getting another remote job or by freelancing.

Where do you find clients when first starting to freelance? Are there any specific Django sites or groups?

All advice is appreciated!

Seeking Advice: Automating Tasks with Python Under Strict IT Restrictions

I’m currently a Computer Science student and work as an Applications Support Engineer.

I have been encountering a lot of manual and repetitive tasks at my job that I’m eager to automate to improve my productivity.

However, theres a lot of IT restrictions on my work laptop. Even the developers on another team face similar challenges and end up using their personal devices for certain tasks due to these limitations.

Previously, in a different role within the same company, I successfully automated tasks using Excel Power Query, Excel VBA, and Power Automate. I’m new to Python and would like to leverage it for automation as well, but I’m unsure how to navigate the IT restrictions.

Does anyone have experience or advice on how to deal with such situations? Any workarounds or tips on using Python in a restricted IT environment would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Add Stripe subscriptions to Django in 7 minutes 💵

Hi fellow Django-ers🐎

I wrote a short guide showing how to add Stripe subscriptions to Django extremely quickly - using as little code as possible.

The guide includes local webhook testing and uses Stripe's client-only checkout and customer portal.

If you're interested, here's the post: Add Stripe subscriptions to Django in 7 minutes 💵

I hope that you're having a good day. I'll answer any questions quickly.

Has PyPI ceased all support?

Does anyone know what’s going on behind the scenes of PyPI (who maintains `pip install`)? It seems like they’ve stopped processing support tickets over a month ago.


I’ve hit the data limit for my package [PyBoy\](https://github.com/baekalfen/pyboy), and I immediately posted a ticket to get the limit increased (as others have successfully done). But after more than a month, and several attempts at contacting the support team, I’ve heard nothing back, and I’ve run out of options.


Does anyone know what’s happening, or how to get a comment from PyPI?

PyPDFForm now lets you create widgets without Acrobat

Hello (https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/)! Earlier this year I made a post about my open source project PyPDFForm and got some really nice feedbacks from you guys.

I have been since then continuously working on it and I'd love to share you two really cool features that were newly added to the library.

The first one is, like what the title says, the library finally supports creating a subset of widgets through code now. One of the previous hard dependency for PyPDFForm was that it requires a PDF template that was prepared using another tool, namely Adobe Acrobat or some web based ones like DocFly. Well now, at least for text field, checkbox, and dropdown, you can do it through plain Python code. I personally find this a huge milestone of the project and if you are interested in this new feature checkout the documentation here.

The second new feature, which is actually not quite new because this was how PyPDFForm worked back in its ancestral stage, is that now you can fill a PDF form "in place", meaning when you fill it this way, the output PDF will look like as if it's filled manually. The reason why this got removed was because of a bug related to text field, where

+3 years of Django-only, and why I might not have gotten it all wrong.

I'm back with an update. Quick recap, back in November I wrote a message about how, after 3 years of Django-only, I found out I was creating MPAs (MultiPageApplications) and that there was also something called SPAs (SinglePageApplications), which require using a different frontend framework. Always late to the party, I had no clue.

In the meantime, I have an SPA demo online, django-react.com, made with Django in the back and ReactJS in the front. Feel free to take a look and ask me anything about what you see (it has registration, message board with ratings | pin | follow, account settings and an internal wallet to play around with tokens).

I would like to share my experiences, but there is a problem. Making the app forced me to deal with APIs (using APIView), Serializers, Cookies (vs Tokens), local and global States, and other complicated stuff, but most of it I probably don't really understand. And although I got it all to work, it shows strange behavior in some functionalities, which tells me I got some things wrong. So I can't write anything technical, instead, I'm going to try to explain the differences that stand out for me, in a way that

Passing variable within string to TemplateTag?

Is it possible to somehow render a variable within a string when passing it into a template tag?

This is what I would like to do:

{% my_template_tag src="images/brand/{{ image_name }}.jpg alt="{{ image_name }} loading="lazy" %}

Or is the only way to rewrite the template tag to take in `*args` and then do something like this?

{% with src='images/brand/'|add:image_name|add:'.jpg' %}
#tag info here
{% endwith %}

Django-middleware based inventory management database.

Hello. I'm a newbie looking to do a university project. It involves an inventory management database that will have an interactive front end, with simplified functionality. The front end will focus on practicality and not optimization or style, it's there just for the interactivity with the data in my database.

I'll be doing a presentation on my laptop, so hosting the website on localhost is a viable option at this time of the post. I am also thinking of dockerizing the final product.

I'm currently looking into the type of stack I'll need to pull this off. Thus far, I've picked :

-Postgresql for the database

-Nginx for hosting

-Django to connect my database to the front end

-Html, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript for the front end, since I have no experience with JavaScript at all.

I've read I can also use Django's built in local hosting capabilities for my project, so I can skip apache / nginx and another http gateway. The most important thing for me is for the project to be doable and not have an impossible stack of technologies I need to learn in a couple of months. I have experience with python in automation, which is why I picked
