React + Django html templates

Hi, I inherit a Django project and am currently making small incremental changes. For context I'm a DevOps and Next/React developer. Django is not my strongest suit but I'm comfortable with vanilla Python. One thing that frustrates me the most is Javascript in html templates. Previous devs used both JQuery and pure JS to manipulate the DOM & handle interactive forms. I did this very exact thing many eons ago and hated it because they're so hard to understand and maintain.

How would you incorporate React with html templates?

I built a self-hostable Django OIDC provider — pre-release now available

Hey r/django, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on. A Django-based implementation of an OAuth2 + OpenID Connect provider, built from scratch and designed to be easily self-hosted.

This started partly as a learning project and partly as preparation for a suite of web tools I plan to build in the future. I wanted a central authentication system so users wouldn’t need to sign up separately for each app - something similar to how Google handles auth across products.

# What it does so far:

* Implements OAuth2 and OIDC specs
* Handles registration, email verification, login, and password reset
* Uses Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, and Nginx
* Fully dockerized and self-hostable
* Includes CLI-style commands to initialize, configure SSL, deploy, and apply migrations

The goal was to make deployment straightforward yet flexible. You can get it running with just a few make commands:

make init
make init-ssl
make deploy
make migrate

Still a lot of polish left (e.g., consent screens, improved token handling, test coverage), but I think it’s a good base if you want a private identity provider setup for your apps or projects.

Django startup for people struggling to land a job

Hey everyone!
I'm based in London and as a recent graduate, I am finding it tough to land even a junior role or internship in software, especially with Django as my main framework.

Instead of wasting time waiting, I think it would be more productive if a few of us team up and build a real startup-style project together. It’ll help us gain real-world experience, improve our CVs, and who knows — maybe it turns into something serious.

If you’re in or around London (or open to remote work), and you're interested in learning, collaborating, and growing together, please message me or comment below. Let’s build something and help each other break into the industry.

Is Flask still one of the best options for integrating APIs for AI models?

Hi everyone,

I'm working on some AI and machine learning projects and need to make my models available through an API.
I know Flask is still commonly used for this, but I'm wondering if it's still the best choice these days.

Is Flask still the go-to option for serving AI models via an API, or are there better alternatives in 2025, like FastAPI, Django, or something else?


My main priorities are:
- Easy to use
- Good performance
- Simple deployment (like using Docker)
- Scalability if needed

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any recommendations for modern tools or stacks that work well for this kind of project.

Thanks I appreciate it!

Archivey - unified interface for ZIP, TAR, RAR, 7z and more

Hi! I've been working on [this project](https://github.com/davitf/archivey) ([PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/archivey)) for the past couple of months, and I feel it's time to share and get some feedback.

# Motivation

While building a tool to organize my backups, I noticed I had to write separate code for each archive type, as each of the format-specific libraries (`zipfile`, `tarfile`, `rarfile`, `py7zr`, etc) has slightly different APIs and quirks.

I couldn’t find a unified, Pythonic library that handled all common formats with the features I needed, so I decided to build one. I figured others might find it useful too.

# What my project does

It provides a simple interface for reading and extracting many archive formats with consistent behavior:

from archivey import open_archive

with open_archive("example.zip") as archive:
archive.extractall("output_dir/")

# Or process each file in the archive without extracting to disk
for member, stream in archive.iter_members_with_streams():
print(member.filename, member.type, member.file_size)
if stream is not

Training a "Tab Tab" Code Completion Model for Marimo Notebooks

In the spirit of building in public, we're collaborating with Marimo to build a "tab completion" model for their notebook cells, and we wanted to share our progress as we go in tutorial form.

The goal is to create a local, open-source model that provides a Cursor-like code-completion experience directly in notebook cells. You'll be able to download the weights and run it locally with Ollama or access it through a free API we provide.

We’re already seeing promising results by fine-tuning the Qwen and Llama models, but there’s still more work to do.

👉 Here’s the first post in what will be a series:
https://www.oxen.ai/blog/building-a-tab-tab-code-completion-model

If you’re interested in contributing to data collection or the project in general, let us know! We already have a working CodeMirror plugin and are focused on improving the model’s accuracy over the coming weeks.

I coded a prototype last night to solve API problems.

Five days ago, I posted here about the difficulty of finding a product on the market that would help my client manage interactions with my API.

I wanted something like a "Shopify" for my API, not an "Amazon" like RapidAPI.

Last night, during one of those sleepless late nights, I decided to finally bring the idea to life and code the prototype of a little product I had in mind.

The concept is simple: give API creators a quick and easy way for their customers to:

\- Generate and manage API keys
\- Track usage and set limits
\- Manage members
\- Set up payments

For now, it’s just a skeleton, but in the next few late nights, I’ll keep building it out.

The goal is to make life a lot easier for those selling APIs.

What do you think?

Azure interactions


Hi,

Anyone got any experience with implementing azure into an app with python?
Are there any good libraries for such things :)?

Asking couse I need to figure out an app/platform that actively cooperates with a data base, azure is kinda my first guess for a thing like that.

Any tips welcome :D

Python Data Engineers: Meet Elusion v3.12.5 - Rust DataFrame Library with Familiar Syntax

Hey Python Data engineers! 👋

I know what you're thinking: "Another post trying to convince me to learn Rust?" But hear me out - Elusion v3.12.5 might be the easiest way for Python, Scala and SQL developers to dip their toes into Rust for data engineering, and here's why it's worth your time.

# 🤔 "I'm comfortable with Python/PySpark why switch?"

Because the syntax is almost identical to what you already know!

Target audience:

If you can write PySpark or SQL, you can write Elusion. Check this out:

PySpark style you know:

result = (salesdf
.join(customersdf, salesdf.CustomerKey == customersdf.CustomerKey, "inner")
.select("c.FirstName", "c.LastName", "s.OrderQuantity")
.groupBy("c.FirstName", "c.LastName")
.agg(sum("s.OrderQuantity").alias("totalquantity"))
.filter(col("totalquantity") > 100)
.orderBy(desc("totalquantity"))
.limit(10))

**Elusion in Rust (almost the same!):**

let result = salesdf
.join(customersdf, ["s.CustomerKey = c.CustomerKey"], "INNER")
.select(["c.FirstName", "c.LastName", "s.OrderQuantity"])
.agg(["SUM(s.OrderQuantity) AS totalquantity"])

If you want to use vibe coding, make sure you fully understand the whole project

I am using python and finite element library FEnicsx0.9 to write a project about compressible flow, I am using FEnicsx0.9, few weeks ago I think AI can let me code the project in one night as long as I give it the whole project algorithm and formulas, now I figure out that if you don't fully understand the whole library you are using and the detail of the whole project you are coding, relying on AI too much will become a disaster, vibe coding is hyped too much

Flask + PostgreSQL + Flask-Migrate works locally but not on Render (no tables created)

I'm deploying a Flask app to Render using PostgreSQL and Flask-Migrate. Everything works fine on localhost — tables get created, data stores properly, no issues at all.

But after deploying to Render:

* The app runs, but any DB-related operation causes a 500 Internal Server Error.
* I’ve added the `DATABASE_URL` in Render environment .
* My app uses Flask-Migrate. I’ve run `flask db init`, m`igrate`, and `upgrade` locally.
* On Render, I don’t see any tables created in the database (even after deployment).
* How to solve this ? Can anybody give full steps i asked claude , gpt ,grok etc but no use i am missing out something.

Lessons Learned While Trying to Scrape Google Search Results With Python

I’ve been experimenting with Python web scraping recently, and one of the toughest challenges so far has been scraping Google search results reliably. I expected it to be as simple as requests + BeautifulSoup, but it wasn’t.

Here’s what I’ve learned from trial and error:

🔹 Google is quick to detect scraping attempts.
Even with random headers, delays, and proxies, it doesn’t take long before CAPTCHAs or temporary blocks pop up. At one point, I could barely scrape 2–3 pages before getting cut off.

🔹 Pagination isn’t consistent.
It’s not just &start=10 for every page—sometimes the results shift or display fewer items than what’s in the browser. You need to account for unexpected page behavior.

🔹 JavaScript rendering is almost a requirement now.
Some SERPs don’t fully load without JS enabled. Static requests often return stripped-down or incomplete results, which makes BeautifulSoup parsing unreliable unless you use something like Playwright or an API that supports rendering.

🔹 Data cleaning matters.
Google adds a ton of extra formatting, tracking parameters, and “People Also Ask” blocks. I ended up writing extra functions just to extract clean titles, links, and snippets.

I know scraping Google is a grey area, but it’s a common data engineering

large django project experiencing 502

My project has been experiencing 502 recently. I am running on gunicon with nginx. I don't really want to increase the timeout unless I have too. I have several models with object counts into 400k and another in 2 million objects. The 502 only occurs on PATCH requests. I suspect that the number of objects is causing the issue. What are some possible solutions I should look into?

`tokenize`: a tip and a trap

[`tokenize`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/tokenize.html) from the standard library is not often useful, but I had the pleasure of using it in a recent project.

Try `python -m tokenize <some-short-program>`, or `python -m tokenize` to experiment at the command line.

-----

The tip is this: `tokenize.generate_tokens` expects [a readline function that spits out lines as strings when called repeatedly](https://docs.python.org/3/library/tokenize.html#tokenize.generate_tokens), so if you want to mock calls to it, you need something like this:

lines = s.splitlines()
return tokenize.generate_tokens(iter(lines).__next__)

(Use `tokenize.tokenize` if you always have strings.)

----

The trap: there was a breaking change in the tokenizer between Python 3.11 and Python 3.12 because of the formalization of the grammar for f-strings from [PEP 701](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html#pep-701-syntactic-formalization-of-f-strings).

$ echo 'a = f" {h:{w}} "' | python3.11 -m tokenize
1,0-1,1: NAME 'a'
1,2-1,3: OP '='

CLI Tool For Quickly Navigating Your File System (Arch Linux)

So i just made and uploaded my first package to the aur, the source code is availble at https://github.com/BravestCheetah/DirLink .

The Idea

So as i am an arch user and is obsessed with clean folder structure, so my coding projects are quite deep in my file system, i looked for some type of macro or tool to store paths to quickly access them later so i dont have to type out " cd /mnt/nvme0/programming/python/DirLinkAUR/dirlink" all the time when coding (thats an example path). Sadly i found nothing and decided to develop it myself.

Problems I Encountered

I encountered one big problem, my first idea was to save paths and then with a single command it would automatically cd into that directory, but i realised quite quickly i couldnt run a cd command in the users active command prompt, so i kinda went around it, by utilizing pyperclip i managed to copy the command to the users clipboard instead of automatically running the command, even though the user now has to do one more step it turned out great and it is still a REALLY useful tool, at least for me.

What My Project Does

I resulted in a cli tool which has the "dirlink" command with
