This isn't a python project, but it's a tool that would serve you learning or advancing in Python. You might stumble into python idioms, patterns, and practices that you haven't seen before if you spend some time on this thing

Really curious if it's working to help you pick up information

Pobshell: A Bash-like shell for live Python objects

# What Pobshell Does

Think cd, ls, cat, and find — but for Python objects instead of files.

Stroll around your code, runtime state, and data structures. Inspect everything: modules, classes, live objects. Plus recursive search and CLI integration.

2 minute video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5QoSrc\_E\_A

What it's for:

Exploratory debugging: Inspect live object state on the fly
Understanding APIs: Examine code, docstrings, class trees
Shell integration: Pipe object state or code snippets to LLMs or OS tools
Code and data search: Recursive search for object state or source without file paths
REPL & paused script: Explore runtime environments dynamically
Teaching & demos: Make Python internals visible and walkable

Pobshell is pick‑up‑and‑play: familiar commands plus optional new tricks.

# Target Audience

Python devs, Data Scientists, LLM engineers and intermediate Python learners.

Pobshell is open source, and in alpha release -- Don't use it in production. N.B. Tab-completion isn't available in Jupyter.

Tested on MacOs, Linux and Windows (Python 3.12)

Install: pip install pobshell

Github: https://github.com/pdalloz/pobshell

# Alternatives

You can get similar information from a good IDE or JupyterLab, but you'd need to craft Python list comprehensions using the inspect module. IPython has powerful introspection commands too.

What makes Pobshell different is how expressive its commands are, with an easy learning curve - because basic commands and

Ending all Circular Imports Forever?

Wouldn't there be a way to hack Python so that it receives the following system-level command from module import:

from module import somedef:(doppler)

And the argument (doppler) then automatically ensures that lazy is imported, and if that doesn't work, it detects a circle and automatically uses the doppler.py where you simply shove all defs() that make problems from your whole project?

🔄 DOPPLER MODULE ================
import sys
import importlib.util

class DopplerImportHook:
def find_spec(self, name, path, target=None): # Spot "(doppler)" Pattern
if ":(doppler)" in name:
# Circular Import Detection
# Fallback zu `doppler.py` return
self.load_from_doppler(name)

# AST-Manipulation before Import:
import ast

def preprocess_import(source):
# Parse "from module import func:(doppler)"
# Transform to try/except with doppler fallback

class AutoDopplerMeta(type):
def __new__(cls, name, bases, namespace):
# Automatically detect circular dependencies
# Route to doppler when needed

is this a bad idea?

Himig – Compose and Play Melodies with Python

GitHub: **Himig**

Playground: **Himig Playground · Streamlit**

What My Project Does?

Himig is a Python music synthesis module that lets you compose, play, and save melodies using simple note strings like "C4:0.5".

You can use it like this:

from himig import play
melody = "C4:0.5", "C4:0.5", "G4:1.0"
play(melody)
save(melody, "melody.wav")

Melodies are written using the format "NOTE:DURATION" — for example, "A4:1.0" or "R:0.25" for a rest.

Try playing built-in melodies: happy birthday and twinkle twinkle or create your own.



Target Audience:

\-Hobbyists who want to compose melodies programmatically.

\-Educators teaching music, sound, or digital signal processing in Python.

\-Python developers who want to explore audio synthesis.

\-Others who just want to play with music.



Comparison:

\-Aside from Python built-ins, it relies only on Numpy.

\-Simple, readable note strings.

Limitation: One note at a time, wav output only, and sine wave synthesis only for now.



You can install via: pip install himig

Are there many of you on here who do all their Python development inside a container?

I tried to run my app in a container during development a few years ago in vscode, but it didn't feel right at all. Within the few i spoke to who also tried this it didn't resonate either and most did their python development locally. They only used containers for development services.

I wonder if things have changed. It looks like you still need to do a lot of custom config to debug a container in vscode. Does hot reload work? Intellisense? click through to system modules? I wonder if the consensus is different in 2025.

How are you managing local env-specific config/secrets?

Hi all, I manage a team running a number of web services both internally and externally ay my company, and one issue I always have is managing local configuration and secrets.

For example, we have develop/staging/prod instances for each web application, which allows us to validate changes and promote these changes to escalating prod-like environments. I think this pattern is probably pretty familiar to most folks but I'm happy to elaborate more.

However, one thing I have not figured out a good workflow for is managing local secrets. For example, when we are generating database migrations against prod, we need to be pointed to the prod database. What I have found works well enough is to store the secrets in a .env.local file, or .env.prod, .env.staging, .env.develop, etc. And then we just pass these around. It all sounds primitive, but it works well enough, but it feels a bit unwieldy and requires manual config switching to change envs.

However, I also don't imagine this is the best practice. So I guess my questions: how do you store and manage local secrets for dev purposes? I think this question touches on both secrets as well as other likely env-based configs that might vary

Finally tried Django 5.1’s {% querystring %} tag — it’s amazing (especially with HTMX)

While working on a Django project for a client, I had to build a fairly complex UI with HTMX — filtering, sorting, pagination — all driven by query parameters.

As you probably know, updating URLs in Django templates without clobbering the rest of the querystring used to be a pain. I was halfway into writing a custom tag (again) when a colleague pointed me to Django 5.1’s new {% querystring %} template tag.

Game. Changer. 🙌

It handles adding, removing, and updating query parameters cleanly — no loops, no custom tags, just elegant syntax.

I was so happy I found it and I hope it can make someone else happy :)

From the official docs: here

I wrote a short blog post walking through the tag, with examples of real-world usage (pagination, multi-param filters, HTMX integration, etc.) if your'e interested in some more info:

Django DRF with django All Auth. Cross origin question.

Hey I'm trying to make Django DRF that uses django all auth with a React frontend.

The error is 403 (screenshot):

Backend - localhost:8000

Frontend - localhost:3000

Header's I'm sending along with the fetch request:

headers: {
'Accept': "application/json",

'Accept': "application/json",
"X-CSRFToken": getCSRFToken() ?? '',
},
credentials: 'include',

(the function is tested and returns the token properly)

There is an example project, which I tried to replicate with no luck:

Django 5 healthcheck

Hello, I am looking to create a healthcheck endpoint for my django app and I was hoping for it to be a little bit more thorough than just returning an HTTP 200 OK response. My idea was to do something that at least check for DB and cache connectivity before returning that successful response. Are there any recommended/ best practices for this?

I could certainly just perform a read to DB and read or write something to the cache, but was just curious to what others are doing out there since I feel that might be inefficient for an endpoint that's meant to be quick and simple.
