Simulating traffic for a django site?

I have a site that is struggling to handle its peak traffic, which peaks on specific days due to the event-based nature of the site. As I work on scaling it, I'd like to be able to simulate the traffic to make sure things don't break down before the next event, which is a really important one.

How can I do this? Write a web scraping script and launch 5000 instances against my site? I'm not sure what the best/common practices here are, so any advice or suggestions are appreciated!

[P] PyTorch implementation of "Incremental Network Quantization: Towards Lossless CNNs with Low-Precision Weights"

I found Incremental Network Quantization an interesting way to perform quantization aware training. However the original code is a modified version of the caffe source code and not that user friendly. I reimplemented it into a pytorch library that is easy to use.

Convert argparse to class syntax for Jupyter notebook execution

Hi, this script converts argparse to class syntax.

As Jupyter is not compatible with argparse. I hope it would be helpful for your testing.

Huey task queue 2.0

Hello r/python. I've released a new version of [Huey](https://huey.readthedocs.io), a lightweight task queue. Huey is an alternative to celery, rq, etc, and offers a ton of functionality in a small package. Features:

* Easy to use: `@huey.task()`
* Redis or sqlite support built-in
* multi-process, multi-thread or greenlet task workers
* schedule tasks to run at a future time, or after a given delay
* schedule recurring tasks, like a crontab
* automatically retry tasks that fail
* task prioritization (new)
* result storage
* task locking
* task pipelines and chains
* optional django integration

I started this project about 7 or so years ago and am quite happy with how it's developed. The codebase is very small and self-contained, so it's hopefully very easy to use and understand. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.

[Changes in 2.0](https://huey.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changes.html), not to mention I rewrote most of the documentation for this release.

How can I pass data between SelectMultipleFields?

**[UPDATE]**

After banging my head against this all weekend, I finally found the answer. The problem is that the default validators in `SelectMultipleField` don't actually work. If I replace `validate_on_submit` with `is_submitted`, the code runs. This version does what I want it to:
```
@streams_blueprint.route('/select', methods=['GET','POST'])
def select():
# Grab a selectable list of studies from database.
form = SelForm()
db_objects = [(stream.id, stream.name) for stream in Stream.objects()]
form.selections.choices = db_objects
if form.is_submitted():
form2 = SelForm()
selections = form.selections.data
new_objects = [(stream.id, stream.name) for stream in Stream.objects(id__in=selections)]
form2.selections.choices = new_objects
else:
form2 = SelForm()
return render_template('select_streams.html', form=form, form2=form2)
```
If I need validators, I will have to write custom ones for this field type.

Dynamic Dashboard stats with Flask, Redis and Postgres

I have an admin application that has a dashboard page with various statistics for our company. Basically our data is stored in Redis, and right now still thinking of a way to combine Postgres and Redis to work together as both our data store.

​

Any idea how I can update the dashboard dynamically? Say like every 5 minutes or depending on what we set, it doesn't have to be real time.


My thinking is that, I will run a background job that will pre aggregate data on redis and store that on Postgres for record, then when a user refreshes the dashboard or visits the dashboard, it will fetch the latest aggregated data from Postgres. Maybe use AJAX to update the dashboard periodically.

Django Signals

I want to create something in such a way that there will be a status(pending and confirmed option) on a user page. But when an admin verifies the documents submitted by the user it changes from pending to confirmed. How do you think I can go about implementing this functionality.
