Working Project: Flask Packages

Hello! I've been working on a project firstly names "Flask Packages" (much like Django Packages) the idea is to provide useful information related to projects in the Flask ecosystem, other than to show the project I wanted to ask what information you consider relevant to show in each project, i'm thinking something like this

Project:
- PyPi/Conda api basic information
- Some sort of "I'm currently using this" button (meh, i don't really want to go the popularity contest road, but it seems logical)
- Downloads (same as above)

Code:
- repo related information (commit grap, cosed/open issues, etc)
- Coverage/Tests results?
- Colaborators?


For now my idea is to categorize each project and then add tags to group them in a way what's useful ("Authorization","Database","Templates", etc)
The repo is at https://github.com/mariofix/limelight in case anyone want to send a pr or start a discussion there.


Let me know what you think (excuse the bootstrap skeleton).
Cheers!

Django vs Frappe

Hello everyone, I've just been offered an intern as a python developer at a startup. I applied to this company hoping the stack to be django as the tech stack wasn't clarified to us on their requirements it just said we required python developer intern. Now I've been offered this role where the tech stack is based around frappe and developing ERP systems and I'm confused if I should take this role.

I want to become a django/backend dev and later shift to Data Engineering.

It's not like I haven't applied to django/backend internships, these positions rarely open and I'm on my final semester of my bachelor's idk what I should do.

I wrote a Turing complete language / interpreter on top of Python.

Target Audience : Python enthusiasts.


What My Project Does:

It's a programming language built on top of Python.


I've got functions, branch statements, variable assignment, loops and print statements (the ultimate debugger) in there.

Running on top of python is pretty wasteful but the implementation gives me a sense of appreciation to what goes into language design, convenience and feature development.

Leave a star on the repo if you like it :)


Comparison:

Not recommended to use in Prod. It adds zero value to what exists already in the programming community.

Please help, Aboutpage doesn't work

I'm completely new to django and I'm trying to follow this tutorial: https://youtu.be/Rp5vd34d-z4?si=0NRJbZVSFFto1d0O
I'm at 14.40 and the guy in the video refreshes his server. It ends up showing a message on the homepage and created an about page. Even though I have every single line of code the same and the directory is the same, neither of the two work. I needed to close the terminal, but i started a new one where I started the vinv again and set the directory to myproject again (Has that maybe caused any issues?). I don't have any error messages in the code, the server also runs without problem, it's just showing the same "congratulations" message as before and it didn't create an about page.
I'd be super happy about responses, because it's 4am in my timezone and I'm going crazy

render_template bypassing decorators?

Greetings

In one of my projects, I have found an issue where any route that returns `render_template()` seems to completely ignore a wrapper placed over it.


For context, here is an example:

@app.route("/", methods = ["GET"])
@CSRF_protect
def home():
    return render_template("home.html")



However, for another endpoint with the same decorator, there isn't any issue. The decorator also works just as intended

@auth.route("/reissue", methods = ["GET", "OPTIONS"])
@attach_CORS_headers
@CSRF_protect
def reissue():
...



I also tried working around `render_template()` by using `make_response()` to return a Response object directly without relying on any underlying logic that Flask might have for `render_template()` . Same result.


Anyone know why this is happening?

Simple Notification Handling Solution

I'm trying to integrate notifications into an existing website structure. Currently on the backend, when I want to create a new notification, I just create a new record in the database and my "sent\_to\_client" attribute is set to false. On the frontend, I'm using HTMX to create a websocket connection with the server. The problem is that I'm polling the database a couple hundred times a second. I've looked into Redis Pub/Sub models but want to avoid that complexity. I've also used polling in the past but I need data to update much quicker (and reducing the polling time leads to me the same result: - lots of queries).

Is there any workaround to achieve these <1s notifications without the extra complexity and dependencies?

# routes.py

@sock.route("/notifications")
@login_required
def notifications(ws):
# get initial list of notifications
all_notifications = Notification.query.filter_by(user_id=current_user.id).filter(Notification.dismissed == False).order_by(Notification.timestamp).all()
initial_template = render_template("admin/notifications/notifications.html", all_notifications=all_notifications)
ws.send(initial_template)

Made a watcher so I don't have to run my script manually when coding

What my project does:

This is a watcher that reruns scripts, executes tests, and runs lint after you change a directory or a file.

Target Audience:

If you, like me, hate swapping between windows or panes to rerun a Python script you are working with, this will be perfect for you.

Comparison:

I just wanted something easy to run and lean with no bloated dependencies. At this point, it has a single dependency, and it allows you to rerun scripts after any file is modified. It also allows you to run pytest and pylint on your repo after every modification, which is quite nice if you like working based on tests.

Best practice to save images in a django project?

Hello! I am working in a project where I need to save images and add new images everyday. Should I save the files in static and do a cron job to collect the staticfiles every single day or should I save the images as a BLOB (or something similar) in the db? I've never worked with images in django before, so I have no clue what the best practice is. The docs say that they should be in static files, but I don't know if that is going to be a pain point in the long run in production and want to read from your experience!

Best practice to Storage boto3 with AWS with regular updates

Hi to everyone, I build a project that users adds new images and also updates new ones. Users can delete images and add new ones.

I made this using a class model called Guide with attributes that have a many to many field with a class model TechnicalFile.

In this TechnicalFile, it has a FileField attribute.

My implementation flaws at this:
1. User deletes an image
2. User adds a new image.
Frontend downloads from aws S3 bucket the existed images for that Guide object. And adds the new ones to the payload.

Backend just delete all images and put all the payload images to my bucket.

My question is how do I delete and add operations on images with best practice or how should be done more efficiently.
Hope some help, please. Let me know if you have any questions.

How to read the documentation

Hello everyone I'm starting an important project for my school and I needed to use Django in order to achieve more points in the "backend development" part and I wanted to ask something really important from you guys:
How should I read the documentation?
Let me elaborate, practically I started reading the Django documentation, to be more precise the "getting started" part that would've introduce to a little development of something with the framework. But since I started studying I just used the "django-admin project start" command (or something like that) and I still have the default files that comes with the command, and that is because the getting started part keeps throwing at you a lot of concepts that you can't actually practice out properly, one example is the Middleware that now I know how it works but I'm still too novice to even try to create my own. How I know the Middleware? That's because during the getting started guide a lot of concepts are highlighted and if you click on it a full page will give you a lot of theory behind it, and since I'm "just" reading this days that I'm studying Django I was guessing if I'm

local_bgrem: YOLOv8 Segmentation based Photo Background Remover | Fast and Offline

**What My Project Does**

It is an attempt to create a locally runnable and fast photo background remover. The ultimate aim is to create a 1 click background remover functionality in various free or open source software such as GIMP and Paint.net.

**Target Audience**

Anyone who wants to quickly remove background from photos without setting and downloading huge libraries and run inference.

**Comparison**

No comparison. Just a hobby project. I just came across a project (mentioned in acknowledgement) that uses Yolov8 for segmentation but in ReactJS, so I thought of extending that into removing background by keeping the masked objects and remove everything else from the image. The **very similar approach Microsoft Paint uses**, that's why it is quick and offline. So I will now work on smoothening the jagged edges and identifying principal objects to make it more accurate if possible.

Euchre Simulation and Winning Chances

I tried posting this to r/euchre but it got removed immediately.

I’ve been working on a project that calculates the odds of winning a round of Euchre based on the hand you’re dealt. For example, I used the program to calculate this scenario:

If you in the first seat to the left of the dealer, a hand with the right and left bower, along with the three non-trump 9s wins results in a win 61% of the time. (Based on 1000 simulations)

For the euchre players here:

Would knowing the winning chances for specific hands change how you approach the game?
Could this kind of information improve strategy, or would it take away from the fun of figuring it out on the fly?
What other scenarios or patterns would you find valuable to analyze?
I’m excited about the potential applications of this, but I’d love to hear from any Euchre players. Do you think this kind of data would add to the game, or do you prefer to rely purely on instinct and experience? Here is the github link:

VSCode non-Pylance Configuration

TL; DR: Jedi (base Python extension) + Pylint ("pylint.args:" "--disable=C,R", if you don't want Pylint to give convention and refactor related messages) gives a smooth experience using only open source extensions. Don't bother Flake8 cause Pyflakes (Flake8's error checking component) doesn't dig deeper into libraries to verify classes/functions in imports, and only checks overall syntax tree of a file individually. This is unlike how Pylance and Pylint works. Use MyPy for optional Type Checking to have full feature parity with Pylance.

Am currently switching from PyCharm to have more transparency in my IDE and found that Microsoft provides 4 Python "language server" components:-

1. Pylance: provides language server features as well as linting (including type checking). Only con is that it is closed source.
2. Pylint: general purpose linting including multi-file support, which means Pylint digs deep into your libraries to check if the imported libraries actually have the proper classes/functions
3. Flake8: only single file linting support, which means it does not check other files to verify classes/functions and stuff
4. MyPy: Mostly type checking
5. Jedi: fallback language server in absence of Pylance. However it provides zero to no error finding features.

So the main two choices for general purpose linting are Pylance and Pylint.

first contribution

Hey all, I'm a data engineer with 4 years of experience who has done side projects with django for last 2 years.

To be honest even though I like my job, I'm in love with django. And for the first time I was able to contribute to one of the most known packages of it, django-allauth.

The contribution was the simplest possible, just a config change. But I feel just too happy.

I hope in the future I'll use the project more extensively and do more significant contributions.


I just wanted to share my thrill, love you guys.
