Staff Software Engineer VS Principal Software Engineer VS Senior Software Engineer

I have seen these positions all over linked in, however, what do they do? I have never seen Django as a requirement for one of those positions, what is the difference between them and a backend developer? are they full stack... I am clueless

Introducing jinpro -- Vue/React like components, all in Flask and Jinja

Hey all! Longtime lurker here.

I always really enjoyed the syntax of custom components in Vue, React, and other .JS frameworks, but hated the overhead of those frameworks, and also don't really like Javascript that much (if I did, I'd learn Node.js).

I checked high and low for something that did what I want, but the only one is a library called JinjaX -- and no matter how many times I read the documentation, it simply did not work on my machine. No errors, just... didn't do anything.

So, I write a really simple and small preprocessor that allows for this kind of behavior.
In essence, you create a file (like Button.jinja) and define what arguments it takes. Then, in your jinja templates for other pages, you call it like an HTML tag -- <Button color="red">Click ME!</Button>.

Finally, rather than using the built-in render_template function, you use the JinjaProcessor.render function, which behaves exactly like Jinja's render_template -- except it looks for those capital-letter tags, renders them into HTML with the template context, and then renders the whole page. It also works recursively, so components can call on other components (like a PageLayout calling on a Navbar).

It's available on github and PyPI (through pip).

What Free Host Providers do you Use for deploying RESTful API ?

Until this moment I had using Render which provides a free limited plan for deoloying Python or any other API, pythonanywhere is another option which allow deploying for free.

If you're testing a project you need to deploy the API, where you do it for free?

Flask OpenAPI Generation?

I've been exploring Python frameworks as part of my blog on Python OpenAPI generation and I was quite surprised to see that Flask requires an extension like flask-smorest to generate an OpenAPI specification. Is OpenAPI just not popular in the Flask API community or is smorest just so good that built-in support is not needed?

Effect size calculation for Repeated measures Anova

Hello! Im running an analysis using python's statsmodels rm anova method. I have a 2 way repeated measures anova analysis and a series of 1 way repeated measures anovas. I want to calculate the effect sizes.

Since there isn't a direct function for retrieving the partial eta square measure, I figured I would have to calculate it. But to do that I require the sum of squares values. As far as I can tell, I can't retrieve those values either.

So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to retrieve or compute the sum of squares values? (Maybe I just missed it?)
2. Can I calculate the partial eta square value using the variables in the anova table (like the f value, degrees of freedom, p value etc)?

ELI5: Flask vs React (framework vs. library)

Flask: a micro-framework
React: a library

Since react is a library and libraries are considered to be un-opinionated, how is the (very proudly un-opinionated) Flask still considered a framework? is it due to routing, wsgi, etc. out of the box?

Data analytics

Hi, I’m in a course on data analytics - our teacher keeps saying that we will find our niche within the spectrum of visualisation, machine learning or coding.
I’m not sure how that works? Like how are we supposed to get better at visualisation without mastering coding. At times he says coding is important if you are interested in becoming a junior data analyst. how does the job market work? Can someone explain it to me? I’m not sure where my strength lies.

Bokeh Plot Problem

Hi all, I'm trying to have two bokeh plots in a flask app with bootstrap columns. I need two.

They are setup as an html and one is loading fine and the other is not showing up.

In my main app.py:

#tell flask to read dashboard page
@app.route('/dashboard')
def dashboard():
# Read content of plot1.html
    with open("plot1.html", "r") as f:
        plot1_html = f.read()
   
    # Read content of plot2.html
    with open("plot2.html", "r") as f:
        plot2_html = f.read()
   
    # Pass both plots to the template
    return render_template("dashboard.html", plot1_html=plot1_html, plot2_html=plot2_html)

In the dashboard.html:

 <!-- map and chart in bootstrap setup-->
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-6">

A recommendation for a simple job queue, for LAN/electric outage resilient app?

I'm developing a Flask application to handle incoming data via webhooks. The primary goal is to ensure reliable processing and delivery of this data, even in the face of potential power outages or network interruptions.

To achieve this, I'm considering a queue-based system to store incoming data locally, preventing data loss if anything happens to my infrastructure.

I initially explored Celery and Redis, but I'm facing challenges in implementing simple, resilient tasks like sending a request and waiting for a response. This leads me to believe that these tools might be overkill for my specific use case.

Given my lack of experience with queue systems, I'm seeking guidance on the most suitable approach to meet my requirements. Are there any recommended best practices or alternative solutions that could be more efficient and straightforward?

Just published an article to understand Python Project Management and Packaging, illustrated with uv

Hey everyone,



I’ve just finished writing the first part of my comprehensive guide on Python project management and packaging. Now that I think about it, I think it's more an article to understand the many concepts of Python packaging and project management more than a guide in and of itself.


The article: A Comprehensive Guide to Python Project Management and Packaging: Concepts Illustrated with uv – Part I



In this first part, I focused on:

\- The evolution of Python packaging standards through key PEPs.

\- Detailed explanations of the main concepts like `pyproject.toml`, the packaging nomenclature, the dependency groups, locking and syncing etc.

\- An introduction to `uv` and how it illustrates essential packaging concepts.

\- Practical workflows using `uv` that I use with data science projects.


Mainly what it lacks is a deeper section or paragraph on workspaces, scripts, building and publishing. That's for part 2!



Working on this article was mainly journey for me through the various PEPs that have shaped the current Python packaging standards. I delved into the history and rationale behind these PEPs. I just wanted to understand. I wanted to understand all the discussions around packaging. That's something we deal with daily, so I wanted to deeply understand

Dendrite: Interact with websites with natural language instead of using css selectors

What my project does:

Dendrite is a simple framework for interacting with websites using natural language. Interact and extract without having to find brittle css selectors or xpaths like this:

browser.click(“the sign in button”)

For the developers who like their code typed, specify what data you want with a Pydantic BaseModel and Dendrite returns it in that format with one simple function call. Built on top of playwright for a robust experience. This is an easy way to give your AI agents the same web browsing capabilities as humans have. Integrates easily with frameworks such as  Langchain, CrewAI, Llamaindex and more. 

We are planning on open sourcing everything soon as well so feel free to reach out to us if you’re interested in contributing!

Github: https://github.com/dendrite-systems/dendrite-python-sdk

Overview

Authenticate Anywhere: Dendrite Vault, our Chrome extension, handles secure authentication, letting your agents log in to almost any website.
Interact Naturally: With natural language commands, agents can click, type, and navigate through web elements with ease.
Extract and Manipulate Data: Collect structured data from websites, return data from different websites in the same structure without having to maintain different scripts.
Download/Upload Files: Effortlessly manage file interactions to and from websites, equipping agents to handle documents,

D Want to move away from coding heavy ML but still want to complete the PhD

Hi Folks,

I come from a tradition electrical engineering background doing things like industrial automation and computer vision. I decided to pursue a PhD in ML as I thought it will be a good field to enter given my past experience. Now I have been doing the PhD for the past three years. While I like my group and research, I am getting discouraged/depressed by (1) The publication rat race (2) post graduation opportunities mostly being coding heavy (3) the inability to carve a name for myself in the field given how crowded the field has become.

Thus, ideally I would like to complete my PhD and move into a more relaxed paced (even if it is not as high paying as ML jobs) non coding heavy but technical job, where I do not have to constantly up-skill myself. Do you folks have any suggestion on what jobs I can look into or would you suggest dropping the PhD and doing something else?

TLDR: 4th year ML PhD student unsure of sticking with the PhD as they desire a non coding heavy technical job in the industry post graduation. Seeking advice on what to do.
