Flask won't send emails

I'm getting this error:

ERROR:flask_appbuilder.security.registerviews:Send email exception: [SSL: UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL] unknown protocol (_ssl.c:777)

When trying to register a user through [this otherwise excellent Flask boilerplate](https://github.com/dpgaspar/Flask-AppBuilder). The weird thing is, I got the same error when I was fiddling with a different boilerplate.

What try?

The remote server could not find the noarch directory for the requested channel with url: https://conda.anaconda.org/condar-forge

As of conda 4.3, a valid channel must contain a `noarch/repodata.json` and associated 'noarch/repodata.json.bz2` file, even if `noarch/repodata.json` is empty. please request that the c

hannel administrator create
`noarch/repodata.json` and associated `noarch/repodata.json.bz2` files.
$ mkdir noarch
$ echo '{}' > noarch/repodata.json
$ bzip2 -k noarch/repodata.json

You will need to adjust your conda configuration to proceed.
Use `conda config --show channels` to view your configuration's current state.
Further configuration help can be found at <https://conda.io/docs/config.html>.

I don't really know what my next step should be.

Senior Django Developer Seeking New Opportunity

I'm a Senior Django Developer looking for a new opportunity. I'm already looking at some of the online sites \([hired.com](https://hired.com), [cybercoders.com](https://cybercoders.com), [remoteok.io](https://remoteok.io), etc.\) but, sometimes, there are opportunities that don't use such services.

Here's a summary of my experience I can bring to your project:

* \>20 years professional software development including Python, C, C\+\+, Java J2EE, PHP, JavaScript, CSS and others. US patent holder for a cryptographic smart card unlocking solution and another patent pending for a blockchain\-related process.
* 15\+ years experience in agile development environments;
* 8\+ years Full Stack Django/Python/JS/CSS/LESS/SCSS, Postgres, MySQL, Celery, Memcache, Haystack, Django REST Framework, more;
* 5\+ years of best\-practice development tools; git and Github; Automated Unit and Integration Testing; continuous development \(CI\), invoke, gulp, more;
* 5\+ years managing popular open source projects including feature planning and implementation, issue resolution, unit/integration testing; documentation, release management, community management and education; project evangelist;
* AWS \(CloudFormation, Route 53, DynamoDB, Lambda, EC2, S3\), Digital Ocean droplets,
* Regularly use Linux \(Ubuntu flavored\), MacOS \(primary workstation\);

I'm also an avid fan of blockchain and Ethereum. I have built a Django/Python\-based payment\-gateway for Ethereum and I have some initial experience with Truffle and Solidity and would love to continue to learn more.

I'm based on US East Coast and strongly prefer remote work \(recently bought a house and built an office for this purpose\).

Help: Want to build a level exchange site for my video game

I originally posted this question over in [r/gamedev](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/8gj4hq/help_want_to_build_level_exchange_website_for_my/), but I wanted to ask you guys here if you could help point me in the right directions.

I'm pretty comfortable with Python, but I haven't done much with Django, so I'm wondering if there are pre-existing packages that can get me most of the way to where I want to go. I have browsed through the packages myself, but not having worked with Django much, it's difficult to tell how exactly to go about things. I'm just looking for some guidance; any tips are much appreciated.

---

So my game has a level editor, allowing users to make and save level files. I'd like to have a website where people can upload level files (json files under 100kb) to easily share with the community. I don't plan on building an in-game system for sharing levels, because it seems more complex (I'm using GameMaker Studio 1.4).

I'm looking to build something similar to this: http://atlas.dustforce.com

---

At a minimum, I would like users to be able to create accounts, upload level files, browse levels, rate levels, and comment on levels.

In addition, it would be nice if the user could upload an image along with the level (like you see with the dustforce maps. It would also be nice to be able to tag the levels.

Book suggestion - apologies if misplaced

I have been coding at one level or another for 35 years. Z80 assembly to BASIC to (blah blah blah). I've also done a bunch of PHP/JScript, etc. and manage multiple Apache servers.

Okay, all that said, I'm really struggling to find a book that works for me for Django. Walking through virtual environments and Hello World and the "don't worry about what this means for now" process is killing me. I'm sure there are some great books out there that approach Django differently - from a more relatable perspective (to me), but I sure haven't found any.

Not that I'm giving up, just feel that if I could find a slightly different path forward I could accelerate what I'm doing. Are there any suggestions out there for books that can approach from that kind of angle?

Once again, sorry if this is really not the place for the question. I do learn better with 'books' (including ebooks) over web pages and video guides. The challenge with being self-taught is that the only teacher you get is yourself, I guess.
