Possibility of Django being helpful to land a job

Hey guys I am an aspiring software engineer who has made and launched a live website using Django. I really like Django but I don’t see that many career opportunities that Django can give me, so I am thinking if I should focus on data science/analytics. What are your honest thoughts about this?

A technical intro to Ibis: The portable Python DataFrame library

We recently explored Ibis, a Python library designed to simplify working with data across multiple storage systems and processing engines. It provides a DataFrame-like API, similar to Pandas, but translates Python operations into backend-specific queries. This allows it to work with SQL databases, analytical engines like BigQuery and DuckDB, and even in-memory tools like Pandas. By acting as a middle layer, Ibis addresses challenges like fragmented storage, scalability, and redundant logic, enabling a more consistent and efficient approach to multi-backend data workflows. Wrote up some learnings here: https://blog.structuredlabs.com/p/a-technical-intro-to-ibis-the-portable?r=4pzohi&utm\_campaign=post&utm\_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Currex - Pythonic currency calculator with exchange rates

Repo: [https://github.com/stared/currex](https://github.com/stared/currex)
Demo: [try in Google Colab without installing anything](https://colab.research.google.com/github/stared/currex/blob/main/currex.ipynb)

I often use Python as a command-line calculator. However, I frequently found myself going back to Google Search to convert between currencies. So, I created this library to make adding, multiplying, and converting between currencies easy. One of its core features is autocasting - when working with multiple currencies, it automatically converts them to match the first currency used.

# What My Project Does

Currex is a Pythonic currency calculator that makes working with currencies and exchange rates simple and smooth. It allows you to:

- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide currencies as if they were numbers
- Easily convert between currencies (e.g., USD to EUR)
- Autocast when mixing multiple currencies (they automatically convert to the first currency referenced)
- Fetch exchange rates from [HexaRate](https://hexarate.paikama.co/) in real-time

Here's a simple example:

```python
from currex import *

# use currencies as if they were numbers
100 * USD # USD(100.00)
12 * USD(100) # USD(1200.00)

# convert currencies to other currencies
USD(100).to(EUR) # EUR(85.30)
USD(100).to(PLN) # PLN(430.50)

# this syntax is also supported
PLN(EUR(12)) # PLN(51.33)

Best AI for python programming?

I've been using Chatgpt, but it isn't up to the mark. Like it can code but when I prompt it to code without this module/function, it fails most of the time. Would love to get to know which AI does the best.

Deploying Django and Wagtail on Cloud Servers: A Step-by-Step Guide

🚀 Are you struggling to deploy your Django or Wagtail projects on cloud servers like AWS, DigitalOcean, or Hetzner? I’ve been there too, which is why I’ve documented the entire process to help others simplify their deployment journey!

I’m excited to share two repositories that provide comprehensive deployment guides:

1️⃣ Django Deployment on Hetzner (and similar cloud servers):
🔗 GitHub: Django Hetzner Deployment

2️⃣ Wagtail Deployment on Hetzner (and similar cloud servers):
🔗 GitHub: Wagtail Hetzner Deployment

These repositories include:
✅ Setting up your server environment
✅ Installing necessary dependencies (e.g., Docker, PostgreSQL)
✅ Configuring Nginx and Gunicorn for production
✅ Tips for handling static and media files
✅ Streamlined deployment steps

Whether you’re hosting on AWS, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, or another provider, the principles outlined here can be easily adapted to fit your setup.

💡 Why I created this:
I wanted to make it easier for developers to deploy their projects without running into unnecessary roadblocks. If you’re new to cloud hosting or looking for a practical guide, this documentation might be just what you need.

I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions for improvement. Let me know if these guides help you, or feel free to contribute

Django e-commerce

In the past couple of months, i have been updating my Django e-commerce project and would love to share.

It mainly involves utilizing Django template, DigitalOcean, Whitenoise for static files, and Azure for PostgreSQL, and Azure Blob Storage for handling media only

I have been enjoying django these months

I researched the suitable stack to use before working on the product idea in mind, some folks crucified Django while others praised it. But learning to know of some major tech coys using Django is some relief.

We built a mentee meet mentor app for data & AI folks purely on Django at the backend and it has been fun. Though I want to improve API response time in deployment, I'm good outside that. https://semis.reispartechnologies.com/. Mentors can host group sessions and share their profiles for folks to connect with them.

Django at the backend is great, our app has evolved and will still do. Currently, we vet mentors before accepting. We are not there yet obviously, it's a learning experience for me. . Thank you Python & Django :)

Django, Postgres, and Pytest

Apologies for the rather basic question, but I'm developing an app locally and have just switched from sqlite to postgres. The database for the app is working fine, but not so the temporary database that Pytest (or unittest) sets up. I keep getting errors like this: 'django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "users_customuser" does not exist', which suggests that the tables in the test DB are not being created correctly. I've tried mucking around with migrations, and the USER permissions for the test DB appear appropriate (though by no means do I have a lot of expertise with postgres). I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this, or is aware of some kind of resource or tutorial out there that focuses on the intersection of Django, postgres, and testing?

Flask-alchemy create Models

Hey Guys and Girls,

I´m wondering about a lot over Tutorials. I´m workin on my first little Flask Web App. I´m a student for Media Tech with intermediate or better good understanding whatsoever.

In many Tutorials this "Mapped" SQLALchemy 2.0 style just does not exist. Why is that? Is there any big difference?

The SQL ALchemy Tutorial tells me to use that style over the old style... I dont get it.

Or it is like Flask-alchemy is using the old style?

# SQL ALCHEMY 2.0 STYLE

class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass

db = SQLAlchemy(modelclass=Base)

class Sailor(Base):
    tablename = 'sailor'
    id: Mapped[int] = mappedcolumn(primarykey=True)
    username: Mapped[str] = mappedcolumn(String(50), nullable=False)
    password: Mappedstr = mappedcolumn(String(50), nullable=False)

#S SQL ALCHEMY OLD STYLE

class Sailor(db.base):
tablename = 'sailor'
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primarykey =

Question about an unexpected error

I'm creating a flask app following the flask-mega-tutorial of Miguel. I'm at the seven chapter (but i skipped the six one because i thught that was useless for my purpose). I tried to run the app but i receive this error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'errors' from partially initialized module 'app' (most likely due to a circular import) (C:\\Users\\myuser\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\microblog\\app\\__init__.py)

This is the line code that receives the error: from app import routes, models, errors

Why doesn't it work in my program but in the tutorial it does?

Need Design Suggestions for My Django App Dashboards

Hi guys,

I have a simple setup with a regular user and superuser dashboard:

If you log in with regular user credentials, you’re taken to the regular user dashboard, where you can view the "mailing list" from a PostgreSQL database.
If you log in as a superuser, you’ll be taken to the Super User Dashboard, where you can CRUD the mailing list from the same PostgreSQL database.

The problem now is the design of the dashboards, login, and signup pages. I’ve mostly used a template from Bootstrap (CSS and JavaScript), Google Fonts, static CSS, and style.css.

My boss wants the web app to have a "professional" or "client-ready" look.

Can you suggest any designs or templates I can easily integrate into my web application?

Thanks in advance!

Here is the sample interface:

Login Screen

Sign-Up Screen

Super User Dashboard

User Management \(Where the super users can see all the users and can edit\/delete users and also their recent action logs are shown

Regular User Dashboard \(where the regular users can see the mailing list and generate report via \(CSV\/PDF file\)

Looking for some advice!

Finished a python tech degree with TeamTreehouse and then went on to do a course from Dennis Ivy on the django framework... Since then have built my own little project and launced it on heroku. Previous to this I was doing a FEWD course but decided that it wasn't really my forte.. I mean it would be alright to have to do a bit of it here and there if I was working on a team and noticed something wasn't jiving but ALL day long I would prefer not to be doing design.. My question is this.. I know we have all had imposture syndrome at some point.. I have been doing this off and on now learning for lets say a year and I am wondering where does one even look for a django job! Or how would you reccomend to start? Really and truly at this point I would love to do an internship and be a part of a team or work on a project with a community but every time I go looking for jobs or internships it seems not many people specify django in their posting... Should I be branching off and learning something else?

Multicharting + Live Streaming Tool for IBKR

# What My Project Does

It's finally here! I set out on my journey on Python 4 years to one day create my own trading/charting tool. Now, I am sharing this dashboard that has been an on-off project along this journey. It comes together with the following features:

* Live data, together with candlestick charting thats updated on intervals.
* Multi-charting functionalities, up to 6 charts per screen (you can open multiple tabs).
* In the home page, a built in Bloomberg news stream.
* Ticker search functionalities on IBKR offerings.
* Indicators in Typescript, and can be added on to in the code.

For now, the project data streams only caters to IBKR, which is what I am using primarily. Hopefully through this post, I can find contributors much more talented than me (which I am sure most of you are) to work together and continue making improvements this project. The main goal to continue to work towards making a non-paywalled, high-quality analytics completely open source.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and you can check out the project here: [https://github.com/lvxhnat/ibkr-charts](https://github.com/lvxhnat/ibkr-charts) :)

# Target Audience

Engineers / developers with IBKR accounts interested in trading/investments.
