Best Resources to Learn Django ?

I already have experience with Flask and have built a couple of small projects using it. Now I'm planning to dive into Django and would love to hear from the community

What are the best resources (courses, tutorials, YouTube channels, books) for learning Django ?

Learning Backend for the first time with Flask but hate styling the frontend

Hey is it okay to use AI for developing the frontend for my flask app projects? I hate CSS and know only Python and not JS. I tried but I just hate to take css up from a blank page. I hate styling even with Bootstrap. It is not that I don't want my projects or website to look good, the thing is only that I don't like writing or learning the code to design pages.
So if I am making those projects for my portfolio as a backend developer, is it okay to use AI for the frontend?

Why most of Django repos don't have a license file in Github?

Same as title.
It makes impossible to use it for projects because unlicensed repos are closed source.

🏠 I built a Django Real Estate website years ago with just basic features. Look what it became! [SHOWCASE]

Hey r/Django! 👋

I wanted to share something I'm pretty excited about. A few years back, I started working on a simple real estate website using Django. Back then, it was just basic stuff - you know, show some properties, maybe a contact form, nothing fancy.But over time, I kept adding more features whenever I learned something new or had a cool idea. Now it's turned into this pretty comprehensive real estate platform!

What started as:

* Basic property listings
* Simple contact forms
* User registration/login


Screenshots:

Has grown into:

* Advanced search with fancy tabs (Projects, For Rent, For Sale)
* User wishlist system (you can save properties!)
* Real estate project management (for new developments)
* Admin dashboard for managing everything
* Property inquiry system
* User profiles and dashboards
* Photo galleries with lightbox
* Responsive design that works on mobile
* Tech stack:
* Django 5.2.3
* Bootstrap for UI
* JavaScript for interactive stuff
* SQLite (but can use PostgreSQL)

Cool features I'm proud of:

* The search interface looks modern with glass effects
* Progress bars showing project completion status
* AJAX wishlist functionality
* Comprehensive admin panel
* Generated sample data with Faker for testing

It's been a fun journey watching this project grow from a simple idea to something that actually looks professional. The code is on GitHub if anyone wants to check it out: [https://github.com/manjurulhoque/django-real-state](https://github.com/manjurulhoque/django-real-state) **added tons of screenshots** in the README

Best logging strategy

Currently, I’m logging the entire request and response, including the body. However, this is consuming too much storage and network bandwidth. Is it necessary to log all the details of a request cycle, or is there a recommended strategy to reduce this overhead? I want to make sure that it doesn't become a blind spot in case of an attack.

I'm a front-end developer (HTML/CSS), and for a client, I need to build a GUI using Python.

Hi everyone!

I'm a front-end developer (HTML/CSS), and for a client, I need to build a GUI using Python.

I've looked into a few options, and PyWebView caught my eye because it would let me stay within my comfort zone (HTML/CSS/JS) and avoid diving deep into a full Python GUI framework like PySide or Tkinter.

The application will be compiled (probably with PyInstaller or similar) and will run locally on the client's computer, with no connection to any external server.

My main concern is about PyWebView’s security in this context:

Are there any risks with using this kind of tech locally (e.g., unwanted code execution, insecure file access, etc.)?
Is PyWebView a reasonable and safe choice for an app that will be distributed to end users?

I'd really appreciate any feedback or best practices from those who've worked with this stack!

Thanks in advance

Is that possible?

Is that possible to write a python web-based system that performs security testing, just like a terminal-based tool?

The GIL is actually going away — Have you tried a no-GIL Python?

I know this topic is too old and was discussed for years. But now it looks like things are really changing, thanks to the PEP 703. Python 3.13 has an experimental no-GIL build.

As a Python enthusiast, I digged into this topic this weekend (though no-GIL Python is not ready for production) and wrote a summary of how Python struggled with GIL from the past, current to the future:
🔗 Python Is Removing the GIL Gradually

And I also setup the no-GIL Python on my Mac to test multithreading programs, it really worked.

Let’s discuss GIL, again — cause this feels like one of the biggest shifts in Python’s history.

SaaS opportunity

I am a 17 year old full time Django developer at a digital company based in the Uk, and a while ago me and my friend decided to put our skills to use by starting a SaaS side project built with Django. We have got a MVP pretty much developed

I am looking for a Django developer(s) who would be interested in joining us.

We are applying for funding which would massively help and therefore we would like another developer to accelerate development and hopefully it can turn into something more full time in the future if all goes well.

I know it’s not the most lucrative opportunity but if you like to learn and develop Django, and are enthusiastic about development you might enjoy it.

Please DM or comment if you are interested

Question about reusing/sharing apps

Hello everyone,

I'm currently starting a new project and have a question about sharing apps between separate projects.
I'm building something that will need two different servers that have different purposes and deployments, but still will need to interact largely with the same data, so to avoid repeating myself and also inevitably making mistakes in maintaining the same thing twice, I wanted to have all those things in apps that are shared between those two projects.
As they are generally closely tied together, I want to develop this in a monorepo type structure for now. My structure right now looks something like this:

backend
- server1
- server2
- sharedapp1
- sharedapp2
- ...

Each of the servers has its own venv managed by uv.

Now, I am unsure on how the proper way is to import an app here. I found two ways that generally work:

1: Package them as a pip package with a setup.py and install them to the individual servers

Need a little guidance

Hey, I’m a beginner Django programmer. I’ve been working with Django for the past 3 months and have built a few projects like a task manager, PDF generator, email sender, etc. I’m currently stuck on the Django REST framework — not understanding much of it. I’m more of a hands-on/project-based learner; watching lectures doesn’t really work for me. I’m hoping a real Django developer could guide me a bit — not looking for an internship, certification, or anything formal, just some guidance. I’d be really greatful.

Type hinting g and session is there to make life easier.

Many of you may already know this. But discovering it makes my life easier. Accessing value in g is troublesome. On the other hand IDE can not help on the object returned by g. So i made a G_mngr which solve this problem.

from flask import g
from typing import TYPE_CHECKING, Optional
if TYPE_CHECKING:
    from yourpkg.database.user_model import User
    
    
class G_mngr():
    @property
    def user(self)->Optional['User']:
        return g.get('user',None)

    @user.setter
    def user(self, value):
        g.user = value

G=G_mngr()

import G in other module, you can now easily use G.user and IDE can help you with all the suggestion about user and its attributes. Same goes to session.
