Time outs on the large files download.

Hello! I have flask + gunicorn + nginx. I wrote a simple app to fetch log files from a remote sever and zip and download. It works fine for files under 1gb. Some files are over 1gb or sometime 3-4gb, how can I send these files with out timing out. I have used gevent worker but it still does timeout. Please advise. Thanks.

[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.

Save Image in MongoDB with MongoEngine

Currently I am learning the mongoengine and just made the video for saving image files directly in MongoDB , wish you like it.

[https://youtu.be/PO-z4nwdMUs](https://youtu.be/PO-z4nwdMUs)

MongoEngine works very well with flask and mongodb! If you have any suggestion and questions, please leave the comment. I am very happy to know all of you. :)

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.

**[ORIGINAL]**

I'm new to Flask and WTForms, and have been really struggling with this simple task. I want to display a list of options. The user can select multiple options, and then these choices generate a new

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.

An engine for massive calculation complexities

I implemented this dependency graph [https://github.com/hosseinmoein/DependencyGraph](https://github.com/hosseinmoein/DependencyGraph) to facilitate implementing systems with massive and complex calculations that run in real-time. Examples are alpha and risk models in financial industry or modeling an ecosystem in natural sciences.

I appreciate your feedback and suggestions and would like to hear about how you have solved these kinds of problems.

Markdown cells instead of Python comments?

I'm new to Jupyter. I code in Python and am wondering if there is a recommendation when to use Markdown cells and when to use comments in Python.

If I have comments in my Python code then why would I use Markdown cells as the purpose of both is to document what is going on.

Any best practice?

Aggregating just the code cells without the markdown cells

[P] Rock Paper Scissors with Artificial Intelligence

Hi! I've created a Rock-Paper-Scissors game that works with artificial intelligence (AI). The AI can see and detect your hand gestures by front-facing camera. Also it can learn your playing strategy in a smart way. The more you play, It gets harder to win!

This app uses TensorFlow and deep learning technologies in order to detect the hand gestures. Sometimes the gestures may not be properly detected, but this will improve in future versions. You can help me in this process by taking pictures of your hand in different positions and sending them as a zip file to rpsapp@outlook.com .

Please Note:

* To get best results in hand gestures detection, put your device on a flat and steady surface.

* In order for the app to work properly, your device should have decent camera and hardware to run relatively heavy calculations.

I've been working on developing this app for a year, so any feedback from you will be a pleasure for me :)

You can get the app on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.ramtin.rps

And you can read more about it on XDA: https://www.xda-developers.com/play-rock-paper-scissors-hand-gestures-against-ai-bot/

I Wrote My First Python Package!

Just thought I'd share this: I've been working on a Python package that makes it easy to obtain and work with data from the USDA's Standard Reference Database for nutrient composition of different foods. I became interested in the USDA's API as it seems to be the standard for high-quality nutrition data -- it's used by many apps and it has data for \~160 different nutrients. My goal is to make the data much more accessible to developers.

Part of the package also has a feature which will tell you if you are meeting the Recommended Daily Amounts of each nutrient, so it could be helpful for nutritionists or people looking to improve their diet.

This is the first Python package I've made and I uploaded it to PyPI so it can be installed with pip. You can find the code here:

Thanks for checking it out, and please share any advice on how to make it better. :)

People with experience in Django: is it possible to make a web application with a server push feature?



It should be like this:

I have a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino nano connected to the raspberry and other Arduino nano that will communicate with the "central" one.

My central Arduino, the one connected to the raspberry, will receive messages from others and pass them forward to the serial port. My app needs to read this info and do something about it. It can just be ignored, stored, do something on the Arduino end or it can trigger a event in the app. This event should be like a window that pop in front of the web page telling what happened.

I'm aware of the existence of the channels library and the celery one, too. Although I'm not anywhere near sure if it can be pulled together.

So... Can it be done with django?
