Django admin: adding objects for foreignkey from other side

so I have these two models:

class Recipe(models.Model):
short_description = HTMLField(max_length=400)
likes = models.ManyToManyField(User, blank=True,
related_name='recipe_likes')
slug = models.SlugField(blank=True, unique=True)
published_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, default=datetime.now)
ratings = GenericRelation(Rating, related_query_name='recipes')

class Ingredient(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
amount = models.FloatField()
recipe = models.ForeignKey(Recipe, on_delete=models.CASCADE,

Are my tests okay?

I read on Two Scoops of Django that you should test the following aspects of your models:

>Two Scoops of Django 3.x
>
>Models: Creating/updating/deletingofmodels,modelmethods,modelmanagermethods.

however, there is not an example of how to do it with pytest, is my approach correct for these tests?

​

models.py

from model_utils.models import TimeStampedModel
import uuid

# from mysocialbeer.accounts.models import Account
from django.db import models
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from django.urls import reverse


class Post(TimeStampedModel):
"""
This is the model that represent posts in MySocialBeer
"""

uid = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4())
title = models.CharField(verbose_name=_("Title"), max_length=50)
body = models.TextField(verbose_name=_("Body"))
latitude = models.FloatField(verbose_name=_("Latitude"))

Is there a better way to handle unexpected view errors.

What I do is, I add a middleware so that in case the view function raises an unhandled exception the default Django response is overridden by my specified response, see the following code snippet.


class ErrorHandlingMiddleware:
"""
The purpose of this middleware is to handle unexpected errors in the requests and
provide a user friendly error response.
"""

def __init__(self, get_response):
self.get_response = get_response

def __call__(self, request):
response = self.get_response(request)
return response

@staticmethod
def process_exception(request, exception):
if settings.DEBUG:

I learned how to make an online Multiplayer game using Python!!

I am interested in game development but am very new to it. I've messed around with unity and C# for a bit but decided I wanted to learn how to create an online multiplayer game like Agario or Draw my things. I decided to use Python since it is my favorite language!

The whole process was pretty difficult. I had to learn to make web apps (flask), web sockets (socketio), manage databases, and a bunch of other stuff.

[If you are interested in the process or want to see how it turned out, check out my video here!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrYXpVLQY_E)

[R] Extended blog post on "Hopfield Networks is All You Need"

My colleague Johannes Brandstetter wrote an awesome blog post on our new paper "Hopfield Networks is All You Need": [https://ml-jku.github.io/hopfield-layers/](https://ml-jku.github.io/hopfield-layers/)

It illustratively introduces traditional, dense, and our modern Hopfield neworks, and provides explained code examples of the Hopfield layer.

Highly recommended!

PyWeek 30 starts on the 20th September!

***PyWeek 30 will begin on the 20th September (00:00 UTC) and end on the 27th September (00:00 UTC).***

# What is PyWeek?

PyWeek is one of the longest running events in the Python community – it's been run twice a year for the past 15 years! During the jam, competitors are given a theme which is decided by the community through a vote. You must build a game from scratch in a week using Python that relates to this theme. After the jam, your fellow competitors vote on submissions to decide a winner. You can see hundreds of previous submissions to PyWeek at [https://pyweek.org/all\_games/](https://pyweek.org/all_games/)

# How can I join?

You can enter PyWeek as an individual or as a team. If you are looking for teammates, you can find fellow PyWeekers in #pyweek on [Python Discord](https://discord.gg/python)! If you want to compete in PyWeek, check out the information on the PyWeek website at [https://pyweek.org/](https://pyweek.org/), you need to register with this site before September 27th (00:00 UTC) in order to participate!

# Where can I find out more?

You can find all the necessary rules and documentation at [https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/](https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/). There are no restrictions on what game library you use as long as the game logic is written in

APIs.

I recently joined as a Intern in a company mainly assisting in Back End. Now, last day, my frontends developers came to me and asked me to provide the Api . So, does that mean I should be providing all the codes that I have written for APis.?? I developed simple apis using serialization of some models. Now, I should provide the source code and endpoints to that frontend developer? I mean cant he looked into my Github and download the code? I am totally lost.

Why Django and Not...

Hey all, I work for a company that's considering a major redo of their e-commerce platform. We're considering a bunch of frameworks for this: Rails, Laravel, Django, and Node. So I thought I'd ask the community here what would be some good reasons for Django over these others? Thanks so much in advance. :)

Is it worthy to use frontend framework like react or vue with Django?

Django comes up with DTL which has enough power to create pretty much everything.

But in the world full of JS frameworks I'd like to know is there any benefit if using javascript frontend frameworks along with Django?

Also give some use cases!
