Django app vs Django plugin?

Is there any difference between a Django app that can be used within your website and a Django plugin or they are both the same thing?

My first framework, please judge me

Hi all! First post here!

I'm excited to introduce LightAPI, a lightweight framework designed for quickly building API endpoints using Python's native libraries. It streamlines the process of creating APIs by reducing boilerplate code while still providing flexibility through SQLAlchemy for ORM and aiohttp for handling async HTTP requests.

I've been working in software development for quite some time, but I haven't contributed much to open source projects until now. LightAPI is my first step in that direction, and I’d love your help and feedback!

What My Project Does:
LightAPI simplifies API development by auto-generating RESTful endpoints for SQLAlchemy models. It's built around simplicity and performance, ensuring minimal setup while supporting asynchronous operations through aiohttp. This makes it highly efficient for handling concurrent requests and building fast, scalable applications.

Target Audience:
This framework is ideal for developers who need a quick, lightweight solution for building APIs, especially for prototyping, small-to-medium projects, or situations where development speed is critical. While it’s fully functional, it’s not yet intended for production-level applications—though with the right contributions, it can definitely get there!

Comparison:
Unlike heavier frameworks like Django REST Framework, which provides many advanced features but requires more setup, LightAPI focuses on minimalism and speed.

EasySubber: Automatic subtitles for your videos

I’d like to showcase EasySubber, a tool I developed to automatically generate subtitles from video files. If you’ve ever spent hours manually creating subtitles, this project could save you time.

# What My Project Does:

EasySubber uses Whisper (OpenAI's speech recognition model) for transcription and FFmpeg for audio processing. It supports video files like .mkv, .mp4, and .avi, and automatically generates .srt subtitle files. The program includes a simple GUI (built with Tkinter) to ensure accessibility for users who may not be familiar with the command line.

# Target Audience:

EasySubber is primarily aimed at video creators and content developers who need to generate subtitles quickly and easily. However, it’s also suitable for hobbyists or anyone working with video/audio who wants to automate the transcription process. This is not yet intended for production but is a stable and functional tool that anyone can try out.

# Comparison with Existing Alternatives:

Compared to existing alternatives like Aegisub or commercial subtitle tools, EasySubber focuses on automating the subtitle generation process. It uses Whisper’s advanced speech recognition for accuracy and simplicity. While other tools require manual intervention or editing, EasySubber minimizes the need for human input, especially for straightforward transcription tasks.

Native bit size, Arbitrary-Precision Arithmetic

Okay so I have a homework question to compare the int factorial and the float factorial of 200 and to explain what I find. For reference 200! results in a answer and 200.0! results in ∞. I’m like 90% sure the professor want an answer along the lines of “the calculated value exceeds (overflows) the maximum value that can be represented by the data type.” Especially given this is not a compsci class. Great, that’s easy. BUT I was like why, and so it took me a while because I’m a pretty new to programming and struggle with a lot of the terminology but I ended up coming across bignum. Now, the general idea of bignum makes sense to me… I understand how the arrays are structured beyond the bit size of the cpu, what I don’t understand is where the bit size comes in. Here’s my thought process: I understand that python uses the bit size to binarily encode the output - I think this is our base array and each individual 0 or 1 is an array. In order to maximize performance python can assign anywhere from 0 to 1073741823 = 2^30 digits to each array… ie

ecommerce inventory data

curious to know if anyone here knows the architecture used to store inventory data of millions of products which is accessed by millions of users via frontend who shop at large ecommerce websites like amazon?

note that the inventory count field of these products is continually updated on the backend to reflect the most up to date information and data.

users shopping online via the frontend web or mobile app get the product data back instantly to add to their carts.

i was wondering what's the magic used to achieve this kind of performance for data that is also being constantly updated.

Streaming output from a chat-bot

I’m trying to make a Flask interface for an assistant I have created.

The assistant is setup correctly and streams output to a console perfectly. However, I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to set up a Flask-app to stream the output for the chat bot correctly.

Does anyone have any examples of a Flask-interface with streaming that I could follow?

Here is the code that I have. It is working, but the streaming functionality is not. Instead of posting a chunk every time the assistant output is updated, it only posts chunks when the buffer limit is reached (several hundread words). Additionally, I have no idea how to integrate the streaming output into a typical chat-interface that shows the last few back-and-forths.

def chatstream():


# the chatsession contains assistantid, thread, and client instances
chatsession = currentapp.config['chatsession']

# using the stock event handler suggested here; https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/quickstart
handler = EventHandler()

Yes another question

when i try to run this command :
for label in labels:
!mkdir {'Tensorflow/workspace/images/collectedimages//'+label}
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
print('Collecting images for {}'.format(label))
time.sleep(5)
for imgnum in range(numberimgs):
ret, frame = cap.read()
imagename = os.path.join(IMAGESPATH, label, label+'.'+'{}.jpg'.format(str(uuid.uuid1())))
cv2.imwrite(imgname, frame)
cv2.imshow('frame', frame)
time.sleep(2)

if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
cap.release()

it shows this error:
The syntax of the command is incorrect.

Does anyone know why?

Astral.sh (the company behind uv) paid product: is it going to be a Heroku replacement?

As you might know Astral, the company behind uv and ruff, are a small company but have venture capital funding. And right now they are not making money at all (but of course they're building awesome tools!)

I listened to the Talk Python podcast episode 476 where u/mikeckennedy & Charlie Marsh discuss the new capabilities uv has.

And it got me thinking, since uv is now able to install specific python versions, and since they stated they don't want to charge for features in uv ever, but are planning on charging for features adjacent to it that you might need to get your code up and running, could it be they'll be building a Heroku replacement? Certainly when you're wanting to build a Heroku-like thing it can be beneficial to allow users to specify their exact python version and have ways to install it.

I think it might be very cool and I'm sure there's a lot of opportunity in that space.

Does anybody know if Charlie Marsh or other Astral people ever discussed their plan to make money in more detail?

Issues with Cloud Run Deployment

I've been trying to solve this deployment issue for 2 days now and am at my wits end. I've deployed on VPSs before but never a managed service like Cloud Run.

All of my request coming from the frontend are getting the Network Error: ERR\_TOO\_MANY\_REDIRECTS. From what I've gathered, there is likely and issue with the way django is processing the internal request from Cloud Run. The google documentation says that we need to add this to our settings.py:

CLOUDRUN_SERVICE_URL = env("CLOUDRUN_SERVICE_URL", default=None)
if CLOUDRUN_SERVICE_URL:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = [urlparse(CLOUDRUN_SERVICE_URL).netloc]
CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS = [CLOUDRUN_SERVICE_URL]
SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO", "https")


I have added this and still continue to get these errors. I'm really not sure what else to look into or what could be causing this. I'm even will to pay you for your time if someone is willing to get on discord with me and help me work this out.

How can I change the name options of this selectField based on which table was selected earlier in the form?

Edit: I fixed this issue by setting name = (column name) in each of the classes

-------------



Pretty much I am using a tutorial to make a form that will change possible selection option based on a previous selection. eg. a user chooses to see data filtered based on site and then have another dropdown with the possible site options.

the tutorial I am using uses only one table (see image one) but I have three different tables that need to be available for selection.

so far I have tried using both a variable and a function to do this but neither have worked. (the variable returned multiple selections of sites.site_name for each id in the table and the function returned multiples of <function results.<locals>.tableOptionName at 0x10e386e50>.

If it helps, the column that contains the names I am trying to display is the the second column the table for all three.

what I have at the moment is in image 2
