I took my Django HyperText Coffee Pot Control Protocol Middleware implementation and released it as my first ever package on PyPi, would love to get some feedback and critique.

Here's the link to the package:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-htcpcp/0.2.1

and here's a link to the github repo:
https://github.com/dashdanw/django-htcpcp

I tried to make it compatible for django 1.8-1.11 and python 2/3 and I would love to hear some feedback on code style and if it's actually working, or anything else I can do to make it a stable package.

This one is sort of a novelty but in the future I would like to start developing more libraries so any advice whatsoever, even if it may seem like overkill for a package this small, would be useful to me.

Kernels in Docker Containers?

Hey, has anyone experimented with using docker containers as kernels? For example, you might spin up a docker container running a python3 kernel, but within the container you have some additional software resources that you can access with Python's subprocess calls.

Why is it named flask?

I'm literally filling up a flask currently and for the past month or so all I've been working on is the flask framework, and this question hit me. What's the significance?

Quick simple Django app

I'm new to Django.
I have experience with Web2PY.

I wondering if there is a pre-canned app framework that provides authentication and menu system.
I'm looking to just modify the model and view files to support a single table DB.

My requirements are minimal.
It's really a glorified web based spreadsheet.

How do I handle %20 into spaces for a django filter for queries?

class SomeFilter(filters.FilterSet):
class Meta:
model = SomeModel
fields = {
'column1': '__all__',
'column2': '__all__'
}
So basically lets say I have a GET request using this filter like www.someAPI.com/?column2=something%20or%20Another

When I apply the filter above, it doesn't work because it's querying column 2 with %20 instead of spaces (which is what is in the sql database) how can I handle this so it queries correctly?

Regex Hell: Is there a good way of combining multiple regex's into one?

Hi all,

I'm reimplementing the following regex I found in a paper. We're essentially trying to do name entity recognition for medical documents.

> import re
>
> """
> Reimplementation of regular expression for measurement extraction described in the
> paper found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4586346/
> """
>
x = "(\d+\.( )?\d+" + "|\d+( )?\.\d+" + "|\.\d+|\d+) *"
>
> by = "( )?(by|x)( )?"
>
> cm = "([\- ](mm|cm|millimeter(s)?|centimeter(s)?)(?![a-z/]))"
>
> x_cm = "(("+x+"*(to|\-)*" + cm + ")" + "|(" + x + cm + "))"
>
> xy_cm = "(("+x+cm+by+x+")" + \
> "|(" + x + by + x + cm + ")" + \
> "|(" + x + by + x + "))"
>
> xyz_cm = "(("+x+cm+by+x+cm+by+x+cm+")"+ \
> "|(" + x + by + x + by + x + cm +")" + \
> "|(" + x + by + x + by + x + "))"
>
> \# Final regular expression

> m = "((" + xyz_cm + ")" + \
> "|(" + xy_cm + ")" + \
> "|(" + x_cm + "))"

Whenever I run re.compiles(m) on the final expression, I'm getting a runtime error. Do you all have any suggestions on how I can cleanly break this up or where the error is? I'm trying to avoid having to use a context free grammar.

export as a normal Python session

Can we export the current session as if we had worked in the default Python shell? Here is what I mean. IPython session:

In [1]: li = [1, 2, 3]

In [2]: li
Out[2]: [1, 2, 3]

In [3]:

I want to paste it in a blog post, but it's too verbose (imagine that it's longer). I'd like to export it like this:

>>> li = [1,2,3]
>>> li
[1, 2, 3]
>>>

Is it possible?

Save a django object getting another model instance as foreign key from a form

I am getting the URL tag from formnumber, but I would like to save the value in another model named ExpenseForecast. Any ideas?


def inputsexp(request, number):
formnumber = Projectsummary.objects.all().get(number=number)
form = ProjExpField(data=request.POST or None, instance=formnumber)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('app:test_forecast_data', kwargs={'number': number}))
context = {'form': form, 'formnumber': formnumber}
return render(request, 'projexpfield.html', context)

Does flask have any plugins to manipulate and render database instances conveniently?

I have been using Flask with SQLAlchemy and WTForms for a while now.

At first, I've been following something along these lines:
* Create SQLAlchemy model class
* Create WTForm class based on the SQLAlchemy model (it's almost always line to line mapping)
* Create a view template to render the form for viewing and for displaying the model data in Jinja.

I find this approach to be very cumbersome: If I change a field in my SQLAlchemy class, I have to update my WTForm and my view template as well.

Then I came across WTForms-Alchemy. Now,

* I just have to create the SQLAlchemy class
* WTForms-Alchemy will map that to a WTForm
* And I render that form for creating/viewing/updating in my Jinja.

This made my job a lot easier but WTForms-Alchemy has a lot of bugs that makes it very difficult for me to continue using it (check my history).

#Are there other plugins for Flask which makes this whole process simpler from my point of view?
