Separate package

apps = ['silk']
if settings.DEBUG and all(app in settings.INSTALLED_APPS for app in apps):
urlpatterns += [
path('silk/', include('silk.urls', namespace='silk')),
]

It worked fine, but is this the correct approach?

[Dataset][R] 19,762 Garbage Images for Building AI Recycling Solutions

Hi ML community!

I’m excited to share the **Garbage Classification V2 Dataset**, featuring **19,762 high-quality images** of garbage categorized into **10 distinct classes** (e.g., metal, plastic, clothes, and paper).

# Why this matters:

* Train AI models for **automated waste sorting and recycling**.
* Develop **waste segregation apps** or sustainability-focused tools.
* Create innovative **computer vision projects** for environmental impact.

🔗 **Dataset Link:** [Garbage Classification V2](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/sumn2u/garbage-classification-v2/)

This dataset has been used in the research paper, *"Managing Household Waste Through Transfer Learning,"* proving its utility in real-world applications.

Looking forward to seeing how you can use it to promote sustainability!

Are there any actual use cases of Python in Excel?

I’m trying to understand how useful it really is/ having not really touched it at all, I imagine someone versed in Python could optimize some of their workflow were they forced to work in excel. But given the fundamental processing limitations of excel I can’t imagine how scalable this is. Has anyone had practical experience using the Python - excel plugin to accomplish things easier than you could in either excel or Python alone and if so, what?

Long time listener, first time caller

I have been using Django for the last few years and always wanted to check flask out.

2 days ago i started playing around with it.... I love it.

Compared to Django development has been so fast and way more flexible (which can be good and bad)

I have built a basic app with user auth and org level and test deployed using mongodb, gunicorn, docker on google cloud run all within a day basically

Great job devs 👍

Sorry for the useless post but thought id share my experience

PyGAD 3.4.0 Released: Python library for optimization using the genetic algorithm.

PyGAD is a Python library for solving general-purpose optimization problems using the genetic algorithm.

GitHub repository: https://github.com/ahmedfgad/GeneticAlgorithmPython

Documentation: https://pygad.readthedocs.io

Quick release notes:

1. The delay_after_gen parameter is removed from the `pygad.GA` class constructor.
2. The plot_pareto_front_curve() method added to the pygad.visualize.plot.Plot class to visualize the Pareto front for multi-objective problems.
3. Created a new method called unique_float_gene_from_range() inside the pygad.helper.unique.Unique class to find a unique floating-point number from a range.
4. The Matplotlib library is only imported when a method inside the pygad/visualize/plot.py script is used.
5. While making prediction using the pygad.torchga.predict() function, no gradients are calculated.
6. The gene_type parameter of the pygad.helper.unique.Unique.unique_int_gene_from_range() method accepts the type of the current gene only instead of the full gene_type list.
7. More bug fixes.

Docker + uv - virtual environments

# Why?

uv uses an existing virtual environment(.venv) or creates one if it doesn't exist. But, using a Python virtual environment inside a Docker container is generally unnecessary and can even be counterproductive. As a container itself provides an isolated environment and does not need further isolation using virtual environments. When you create a Docker image, it includes its own filesystem, libraries, and dependencies. Using a virtual environment in container adds unneeded steps and unnecessary complexity. You'd need to create and activate the virtual environment during container startup. We can avoid this.

# How?

we can use uv for package installation in Docker without a virtual environment using "--system" flag

uv pip install --system <package>

uv pip install --system -r requirements.txt

NOTE: "uv run" and **"uv add"**NOTE: "uv run" and "uv add" commands will create virtual environment(.venv), if it doesn't exist. So, you will not be using those command inside the container. But, use them with in your local development virtual environment.

RUN uv add gunicorn ❌
CMD "uv", "run", "app.py" ❌

Instead use only "uv pip install --system" and simple "python" commands

RUN uv pip

Building My First Ecommerce with Django

I wanted to share my journey building a custom ecommerce site for a client. While I have experience creating enterprise tools and APIs for inventory management and ecommerce integrations (like Shopify), this project was unique because the client specifically wanted a fully custom-built platform tailored to their needs. It’s my first time creating a complete ecommerce site with Django, and the learning experience has been incredible.

The project, [GetVases](https://www.getvases.com), is an online boutique for selling vases. It needed to be visually appealing, user-friendly, and reliable. Balancing these requirements while diving into features like payment integration and stock management was both exciting and challenging.

# Technical Challenges

1. **Integrating Payments with Stripe**: Secure payment processing was a priority for the client. I initially started with PayPal, but its confusing documentation and webhook handling led to weeks of frustration. Switching to Stripe was a game-changer:
* I used the `stripe` library to handle payment requests.
* Webhooks were set up to update order statuses in real time.
* I’m still refining security measures for these endpoints—any best practices you can share?
2. **Real-Time Stock Management**: The client required dynamic inventory updates as customers placed orders. I implemented this using Django
