Puppy: best friend for your 2025 python projects

TLDR: https://github.com/liquidcarbon/puppy helps you install and manage python projects, environments, and notebook kernels.

# What My Project Does

\- installs python and dependencies, in complete isolation from any existing python on your system
\- `pup add myenv pkg1 pkg2` uses uv to handle projects, packages and virtual environments; `pup list` shows what's already installed
\- `pup clone` and `pup sync` help build environments from external repos with `pyproject.toml` files
\- `import pup; pup.fetch("myenv")`  for reproducible, future-proof scripts and notebooks


Puppy works the same on Windows, Mac, Linux (tested with GitHub actions).

Get started (mix and match installer's query params to suit your needs):

curl -fsSL "https://pup-py-fetch.hf.space?python=3.12&pixi=jupyter&env1=duckdb,pandas" | bash

# Target Audience

Loosely defining 2 personas:

1. Getting Started with Python (or herding folks who are):
1. puppy is the easiest way to go from 0 to modern python - one-command installer that lets you specify python version, venvs to build, repos to clone - getting everyone from 0 to 1 in an easy and standardized way
2. if you're confused about virtual environments and notebook kernels, check out pup.fetch that lets you build and activate environments from jupyter or any other interactive shell
2. Competent - check out Multi-Puppy-Verse and Where

Zero-knowledge encryption in Django

Hello,

I built a web app (rn local only) for professional (job/work related) purposes to help my friend as a marketer/ writer (he writes for different companies and manages that stuff on his laptop as a local machine). Now some of his friends want to try it out, and it will be too much work to help them run in their local server with a virtual environment. I also want to try and scale it out if it works.

I have another simple project in Django that helps manage funding, source of funding, etc., and other personal user data.


Now the issue is I want to make sure I as a super admin or admin, or the server owner (or as a developer) don't have access to any of the writings or work they have saved in that system or server.

How can I achieve that in Django?

I was thinking of using their username (only one username for each user) to generate a mnemonic for that user and encrypt and decrypt their data when they log in and access.

I do not know how blockchain works and I am a mid-level Django

Relative Date DSL similar to Grafanas Date Picker shortcuts

**What My Project Does:**

It allows for defining relative Date-Times using a human friendly syntax which is great for configuration files.

A basic example to get the first saturday of the current month:

/month -1 day /sat + 1 week

Here is another example that gets every 3rd calendar week;

%cw 3

It has more features:

* Validation via [pre commit hook](https://iilei.github.io/cronspell/details/pre_commit_hook/)
* Accessible via [command line interface](https://iilei.github.io/cronspell/details/cli/)
* Determine upcoming moments -- see [example test cases](https://github.com/iilei/cronspell/blob/master/tests/test_upcoming.py)

**Target Audience:**

With its focus on intuitive comprehensibility, I hope to offer value for a variety of roles such as

* Developers
* Data-Engineers
* Technical Writers
* Business Engineers

**Comparison:**

A different python package, `crontab` embodies the de-facto standard domain-specific-language to express repeating date-times in a reliable fashion. The Syntax is powerful and well-established. The properties of both exhibit some overlap but are not identical.

**License:**

Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions for improvements!

Tips for Learning Django.. coming from Java (Spring)?

Hello guys, I'm moving from a team using Java (Spring) to a Django backend team (likely using the Django REST framework) within my company after the New Year break. I've never worked with Django before, but I do know Python pretty well since it’s my go to language for LC. My current plan is to start with the official Django tutorial, move on to Django REST doc, and then build a small project to get some hands on experience.

For those who know both Spring and Django, is there anything I should keep in mind while learning Django? (I also have some experience with nodeJs Express, though that was from some personal projects I worked on a long time ago) Also, is the official Django doc the best way to learn, or are there other resources you’d recommend? Would love to hear any advice or tips from people who’ve been in a similar boat. Thanks!

Advanced Tutorials

The Djangoverse is not lacking in any beginner tutorials. Although some cover more advanced topics, they are harder to find and some topics have none.

I've been following some more advanced tutorials on structuring Django projects and it really advanced my understanding of the framework. I thought it would be great if people could post tutorials they've found useful on some of the more advanced/obscure topics (not covered in the beginner tutorials). Some of my topics of interest (feel free to add yours!):

1. Email verification for custom user models (tokens anyone?):
2. Full email system setup in general:
3. Celery use beyond just setup:
4. How to manage changes and migrations while website is deployed already:

I'm sure there are a lot more. It would be great to have an ongoing list.

Best wishes for 2025!

I have A question about my code in python

The code should make 100km

then subtract from it 100 meter

then 100cm then

then 100 mm

then Evaluate Exactly the value

THat is The file Which I wrote the correct Code

import Methods as M
def Convert_To_Decimal(Value):
    for i in range(len(Distance_List)-1):
        # Convert To Decimal
        V = Convert_Distance(Distance_List[i], Distance_List[i+1], Value)
       
        if V!=0:
            print(V, Distance_List[i+1], end=" ")  
        V=V-int(V)
    print()
        # Print Number
       
def Convert_Distance(From, To="1km", Value=0):
   
    return round(Value * M.Return_distance(From) / M.Return_distance(To),10)

def Minus():
    B = 100
    for Label in Distance_List[1:]:
        print("Subtracting 100", Label)

How to effectively understand the Django repository (or any large codebase)?

The reason I am asking this question stems from my exploration of the Django codebase, which began after I finished studying Django for Beginners 4.2 by Will Vincent. Throughout the book, I often found myself asking questions like, how do CBVs and GCBVs work? Why do they inherit from the View class? Why is .as_view() used with CBVs and GCBVs, but not with FBVs?

These questions stayed in my mind, so I decided to explore the Django repository to understand them better. While most of the code (if not all) went over my head, I believe I now partially "understand" the "why" behind some of these concepts.

From my exploration, I realized that as_view() essentially “converts” CBVs and GCBVs into functions because the foundational way of building Django views are FBVs. CBVs and GCBVs are built on top of FBVs. CBVs aim to achieve better separation of logic by mapping HTTP methods to specific class methods, while GCBVs are built on top of CBVs to simplify common tasks like creating, updating, deleting, querying and displaying data e.c.t.

I am not entirely sure if my understanding is accurate, but this is how I have interpreted it so far.

My question is, How can I understand

After changing flask port, port 5000 is not working anymore

Hey, I was sending API request to my flask application at 192.168.X.X:5000 from my local network for last few days.
Today I asked my friend to try and send API request , because I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to open new ports and I remembered I had port 25565 already opened so I used that one (so it was pub-ip:25565).

Now that I have time, I opened port 5000 and now the script is not working when I go back to port 5000.
I tried again with 25565 and its working, I tried from port 12345 and its working. Just the 5000 is NOT working.
Any suggestions?

When I start the app:

Serving Flask app 'main'

Affordable and Reliable Hosting for Django Project with PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS S3?

I'm developing a Django project which includes several key modules:

AI Integration: Uses OpenAI to provide crop recommendations and chatbot features.
Weather Module: Incorporates weather data to assist with planning and insights.
Mapping Tools: Utilizes Mapbox for GIS-related functionalities, like visualizing field and crop data.
User Management: Manages user accounts, authentication and auth.

The app requires PostgreSQL for the database, Redis for caching, and AWS S3 for media and static files. I’m looking for a hosting platform that is both affordable and highly reliable for these requirements. Any recommendations?

D Everyone is so into LLMs but can the transformer architecture be used to improve more ‘traditional’ fields of machine learning


i’m thinking things like recommendation algorithms, ones that rely on unsupervised learning or many other unsupervised algos

A lightweight Python wrapper for the Strava API that makes authentication painless


**What My Project Does**

Light Strava Client is a minimalist Python wrapper around the Strava API that automates the entire OAuth flow and token management. It provides a clean, typed interface for accessing Strava data while handling all the authentication complexity behind the scenes.
Key features:

* Automated OAuth flow (just paste the callback URL and you're done)
* Automatic token refresh handling
* Type-safe responses using Pydantic
* Simple to extend with new endpoints
* No complex dependencies

**Target Audience**

This is primarily designed for developers who want to quickly prototype or build personal projects with Strava data. While it can be used in production, it's intentionally kept minimal to prioritize hackability and ease of understanding over comprehensive feature coverage.

**Comparison**

The main alternative is stravalib, which is a mature and feature-complete library. Light Strava Client takes a different approach by offering a minimal, modern (Pydantic, type hints) codebase that prioritizes quick setup and hackability over comprehensive features.

The code is available here: [https://github.com/GiovanniGiacometti/Light-Strava-Client](https://github.com/GiovanniGiacometti/Light-Strava-Client)

I'd love to hear your thoughts or feature suggestions!
