Please help us test new Flask deployment tooling

Hi,

I work for Canonical, the creators of Ubuntu. We have been working on some new tooling to make it easier to deploy Flask applications in production using Kubernetes. This includes tooling to create Docker images as well as tooling to make it easy to connect to a database, configure ingress and integrate with observability. We would love your help and feedback for further development. We have a couple of tutorials:

[Creating a production ready Docker image](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/rockcraft/en/latest/tutorial/flask/)
Deploy a Flask App on Kubernetes

Please share any feedback you have. We are also running user experience research which takes about an hour to complete. Please let us know if you are interested (DM me or comment below). Thank you!

Generators underused in corporate settings?

I've worked at a couple of places that used Python. And I've rarely seen anyone regularly using the yield keyword. I also very rarely see people using lazy "comprehensions" like

foo = (parse(line) for line in file)
bar = sum(postprocess(item) for item in foo)


And so, I'll use these features, because to me, they simplify things a lot. But generally people shy away from them. And, in some cases, this is going to be because they were burned by prior experiences. Or in other cases it's because people just don't know about these language features.


Has this been your experience? What was the school of thought that was in place on your prior teams?

Is there any plugin or Django app like this?

Supposing you have multiple users on your website and they receive points for doing something (posting, writing reviews, anything you choose to) and there are a few groups of users, each group having different rights and privileges on your website and the users are upgraded or downgraded to different groups based on accumulated points.

How to do this in Django? Is there any plugin or app helping you with this? If you just need to use pure Django then how this should be done?

Thank you in advance!

Using HTMX with Django is much easier than I thought!

I have recently given HTMX a try halfway through working on a Django project that needed dynamic content loading. It took me so long to give it a try because I thought that it would be hard to learn, but I was sooooo wrong. 😅

So it turns out that to add dynamic content loading all I had to do is:

1. Make a partial template of what I wanted to dynamically load.
2. Add HTMX to project
3. Add HTMX attributes to HTML

For this project, where I dynamically loaded available properties based on selected dates and number of guests I used these 3 HTMX attributes on my form element:

1. hx-get : to make an asynchronous HTTP GET request when an event is triggered
2. hx- target : to select the target element where we want to load the dynamic content.
3. Hx-swap: defines how the content retrieved via an HTMX request should be inserted into the target element on the page.

I found two things a little difficult to figure out:

1. Choosing the correct swap attribute: at first I tried outerHTML, but after some trial and error, I realized that innerHTML was the right choice.

1. Detecting HTMX requests in my Django view: It took me some

Understanding apps, forms, and the structure of a project/app

Hello everyone,

I am basically a beginner trying to use Django in order to build an app for a business I work for. I have experience with programming, but I never built any app (or web based one).

After going through the Tutorial of Django, I jumped and started programming.

I decided to use various apps instead of having one app because I couldn't focus on the tasks needed and it was a cluster of code.

I began with 2 applications: forms - allows essentially forms management/everything to do with forms: processing, validation etc, and users app - user management, authentication, user settings and so on.

I started to create a login form and login form view. the login form has its own clean methods, and the login form view allows me to forward the form and reder it in HTML loginForm/. I decided to render only the form itself, but I will have a proper "login/" page will the loginForm/ will be imported to. As I said earlier, it is because the forms app is only responsible for the forms, and the rest of the page will be done by something else.

after I wrote all of what I mentioned, I realized that Django has

Alternatives to Jinja for Flask-Based Desktop App Using PyInstaller and WebView

I'm developing a desktop application using the following tech stack:

Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Jinja2 (current template engine)
Backend: Flask
Packaging: PyInstaller to create a `.exe`
UI: WebView for Windows

I am currently using Jinja2 for templating, but I want to explore other template engines that might provide better performance or additional features. My main requirements are:

1. Compatibility with Flask: Should integrate easily without much configuration.
2. Support for Desktop Apps: Must work well with PyInstaller when packaging the app.
3. Efficient Rendering: Performance is key, as the app is intended for desktop use.

Are there any good alternatives to Jinja2 that would fit well within this stack? Any advice on integration or potential challenges would be appreciated!

Thank you!

Introducing WSCE: A Custom Shell Environment Built with Python

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on a custom shell environment called **WSCE**. Built entirely in Python, it mimics the functionality of an operating system and comes packed with features like a fake boot sequence, a text editor, and more. It's designed to provide a unique experience that blends the line between an OS and a shell environment.

# What My Project Does

WSCE is a simulated operating system environment built as a Python-based shell. It offers a range of features such as:

* **FakeBoot:** Emulates the boot process of an actual operating system.
* **Aurora Text Editor:** A simple text editor to mimic basic productivity tools.
* **CommandSearch:** A script that searches a folder for python files to make into custom commands

# Target Audience

This project is primarily a passion project and is not intended for production use. It is targeted at hobbyists, Python developers, and those interested in exploring custom shell environments or unique OS simulations. It's perfect for those who enjoy tinkering with code and experimenting with unconventional software projects.

# Comparison to Existing Alternatives

WSCE stands out because it's not like any other shell environment or operating system out there. Unlike traditional shells or full OS environments, this project focuses on simulating

Is Python easier to break into than other languages coming fron experience in a different stack?
