Flask, Django, or FastAPI?

From your experiences as a developer, which of these 3 frameworks would you guys recommend learning for the backend? What are some of the pro and con of each framework that you've notice? If you were to start over again, which framework will you choose to learn first?

How to deploy selenium based flask app to VPS with gunicorn and nginx

Hi, I have a basic web scraping price comparison app. I wanted to deploy it on the oracle free tier for cloud hosting. I’m quite new to this so I have a few questions.

How can I set up multiple workers to service multiple requests simultaneously? What would I need for that?

What is the procedure for deploying this app to oracle cloud? I do have a domain but I don’t know how to make that work.

I’ve gone through way too many YouTube videos and it’s all quite confusing. I’d really appreciate any help or video links.

Just finished my first week learning Python!!

Hey guys! My name is Christian (22M). Ever since my sophomore year in high school, when I began to learn more and more about computers by taking a simple html class for my cs credit, I have wanted to do more in this field. However, between bouncing around from many different ideas of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, I ended up landing myself graduating from college with an associate in applied science for Engineering Systems Technology.

Since I turned 18, I have continuously worked in a field with utility scale electrical equipment, focusing on the software/programming side for the components that control the flow/state of that energy. I.E. PLC, STM32, JTAG, DSP, Custom Mod-bus. I have a decent amount of experience in several different applications but could never say that I truly KNEW what to do beyond basic debugging and integration.

I have recently started the 100 Days of Code challenge course on Udemy which was one of the highest rated courses for learning Python. I seem to be picking it up pretty quick but and truly starting to wonder if even after completing this course will I actually be able to land a

How much data validation is healthy?

How much manual validation do you think is healthy in Python code?

I almost never do validation. I mean, when reading data from files or via an API, or from anywhere that I don’t control with my code, I would generally do validation via Pydantic or Pandera, depending on the type of data. But in all other cases, I usually supply type hints and I write functions in complete trust that the things that actually get passed live up to what they claim to be, especially because my point of view is that MyPy or Pyright should be part of a modern CI pipeline (and even if not, people get IDE support when writing calls). Sometimes you have to use # type: ignore, but then the onus is on the callers’ side to know what they’re doing. I would make some exception perhaps for certain libraries like pandas that have poor type support, in those cases it probably makes sense to be a little more defensive.

But I’ve seen code from colleagues that basically validates everything, so every function starts with checks for None or isinstance, and ValueErrors with nice messages are raised if conditions are violated. I really don’t like this

Django book recommendations

Hello, I'm a new developer. Currently really proficient with the flutter framework and I have a rather solid understanding of OOP. I love to read on frameworks and coding I'm general as I am able to get the knowledge in more depth than I would in a video or tutorial.

Do any of you know an excellent Django book for me to get to know the framework.

P.S I prefer human recommendations than Google search results when it comes to book recommendations. Because with good seo and marketing even a not so good book can be a first result.

Should I go with Threading or Celery?

I have a Flask registration route that sends an email to the user after adding it the database.

Including the email sending function in the route takes time and therefore the response is delayed. I'd much rather send a "An email will be sent soon." rather than a "Welcome" message that takes a lot of time to show.

I know that I can do this with Threading but I've recently come across Celery and I don't know if it's an overkill or not, especially in this case.

Thank you.

Embedding a diffefent website into flask

Hi,
Im using a raspberrypi to host 2 diffefent Websites. The first (main) website is hosted locally with flask. The second Uses apache.

If i embed the second website as an iFrame i can use both websites perfectly fine. The Main Website works without issues and the embedded one can be used inside of it. Even when using the dev options in my browser to simulate the mobile view it works.

However if i use an actual mobile device i cannot click on Buttons in the embedded website.

Both run on different ports.

Does anyone know why it doesnt work on the Phone even tho it workes on the Desktop?

Im gratefull for any help since i have no idea what could cause this.

Self-hosted webscraper

I have created a self-hosted webscraper, "Scraperr".
https://github.com/jaypyles/Scraperr

# What my Project does?

Currently you can:

- Scrape sites specifying elements using xpath
- View and download job results as csv
- Rerun scrape jobs
- Login to organize jobs
- Bulk download/delete jobs

# Target Audience

Users looking for an easy way to collect data from sites using a webscraper.

# Comparisons

The backend of the app is developed fully in Python with basedpyright helping me with typesafety, using FastAPI as my HTTP API library. I mostly see users make GUI based webscrapers, and compile them into a launchable exe or a .py script, but this is developed with NextJS as the frontend to be used as a web application and/or deployed on cloud/self-hosted, etc.


Feel free to leave suggestions, tips, etc.

NVIDIA Graphics Card Update Check

# What my Project does?

Since NVIDIA only notifies you about new Graphics Driver updates if you use the GeForce Experience app (which causes stuttering in some games), I’ve come across the idea to create a simple GUI application on Windows, that can do those checks and notifications without the GeForce experience App. This App ist written 100% in Python and uses the wxPython GUI library.

# Target Audience

It is a very simple app and also perfect for some Python beginners if you are interested in doing some collab work.
Also it is for every Windows user, that does not want to use GeForce Experience, but still want to be notified about the newest driver updates.
The app is ready to use, but there is still room for improvements. More information on Github - pyvidia-update

# Comparison

GeForce Experience
- not open source
- needs huge resources
- collects user data

TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker
- Written in C#

My School project is done !

Hello Hello !

It's been 2 weeks that my teammates and me ended up our school project. We tried to build a consistent dating web app using django framework in one month.

As young student without any basics in web dev except in Html and Css at the beginning of the project, we worked hard to build the best we can do in each month. The recommandation system we built is not scalable but you can also check it and give us some recommandations.

The Instructor give us 16/20 for our presentation and we think we can do better now.

We need your appreciations, yours corrections, advice for future project and also stars on our reposit haha.

So please can you take some minutes to check this link : https://github.com/rosasbehoundja/PIL1\_2324\_2/tree/main

For any comment or correction , you can DM me or send me a mail at behoundjatode@gmail.com Thank you for your support.

Concept showcase: Auto-generated python bindings for a command line tool

## What my project does

kicadcliwrapper is less intented to be a standalone project and more of a concept showcase. The idea is to auto-generate python bindings for a command line tool by traversing the help tree recursively of all subcommands. The result is a python wrapper that can be used to interact with the command line tool in a more pythonic way. By generating dataclasses for the commands and argumets, users can leverage the power of type hints and IDE autocompletion.

## Target Audience

This project/concept is intended for developers who want to create a python wrapper for a command line tool. It is especially useful for tools that have a lot of subcommands and arguments.
The project itself is useful for people interacting with the open-source electronics design automation software KiCad.

## Comparison

- clinto; Other way around. Generates generic JSON description of python CLIs
- clize: Also other way around. Generates CLI from python functions.

Whenever: a modern datetime library for Python, written in Rust

Following my earlier blogpost on [the pitfalls of Python's datetime](https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1ag6uxc/ten_python_datetime_pitfalls_and_what_libraries/), I started exploring what a better datetime library could look like. After processing the initial feedback and finishing a Rust version, I'm now happy to share the result with the wider community.

GitHub repo: [https://github.com/ariebovenberg/whenever](https://github.com/ariebovenberg/whenever)

docs: [https://whenever.readthedocs.io](https://whenever.readthedocs.io)

# What My Project Does

*Whenever* provides an improved datetime API that helps you write correct and type-checked datetime code. It's also a lot faster than other third-party libraries (and usually the standard library as well).

**What's wrong with the standard library**

Over 20+ years, the standard library `datetime` has grown out of step with what you'd expect from a modern datetime library. Two points stand out:

**(1) It doesn't always account for Daylight Saving Time (DST)**. Here is a simple example:

bedtime = datetime(2023, 3, 25, 22, tzinfo=ZoneInfo("Europe/Paris"))
full_rest = bedtime + timedelta(hours=8)
# It returns 6am, but should be 7am—because we skipped an hour due to DST

Note this isn't a bug, but a design decision that DST is only considered when calculations involve *two* timezones. If you think this is surprising, you are not alone ( [1](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/91618) [2](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116035) [3](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/112638)).

**(2) Typing can't distinguish between naive and aware datetimes**. Your code
