This is what a +60k git diff gives Pythonistas this year

It was particularly challenging, the end result is worth it. A simple table replace a thousand words.

Handling databases in deployment

Dear community,

I have been learning python (from scratch) for the last three years by tinkering with Django and making different web-applications. Last week I actually did my first deployment on pythonanywhere and got everything to work fine.

When I update the app I do it locally, push to github and then to pythonanywhere. I also update the database locally and push it together with the code. But if I am to implement user accounts, I reason that the database has to be online and can't be altered locally anymore. What is a good practice for doing this? Do you use third party solutions - same as for static files?

Help Flask Socketio + uWSGI + Nginx

Hey.
I am trying to use flask-socketio on my uwsgi + nginx server.

I read ...ALOT... of documentation pages and tutorials. Maybe I just can't read or my braincells are not enough. But I just cant get it working. Okay first of all a bit about the structure.
I have multiple flask servers running behind the nginx.
Every Server gets a path. So mydomain.com/projectname
So my current "test" project is under mydomain.com/sockettoe (dont ask just not creative in naming)
The first problem was socketio (in js fronend) trys to connect on mydomain.com wich is not where the flask-socketio runs. I fixed that by adding this to my config
location /socket.io

{

include uwsgi_params

uwsgi_pass unix:/pathtoproject/sockettoe/sockettoe.sock;

}


Now the server get my requests buuut they dont seem to connect. Cant fire any event.
What I thought is that the uwsgi does not run socketio but app(Flask app) so I tryed to change that but uwsgi does not want to run a SocketIo object. Can someone help me with this you will save me alot of headache because I will not give up. It must be possible.


Oh also my backend gets a Exception:

pyCage: A VSCode extension to search and install popular Python packages from the command palette.

What Does My Project Do?

pyCage is a VSCode extension powered by astral.sh's uv package manager and pip. It enables users to search for and download Python packages directly from the command palette, similar to Dart's package manager.

Target Audience

This extension is designed for individuals who frequently use venvs and struggle with remembering package names.

Comparison

The installation speed is notably fast due to the option to download using uv.It might be faster to download packages using pyCage than using the terminal in some cases.

How to handle APIs calls and async code on Pythonanyehere?

How to handle async code on Pythonanyehere? There is an article on their site that suggests using Django-Q and always-on tasks to handle async code, but the post seems outdated because Django-Q hasn't received any updates/changes for 3 years. Also, celery and redis are not supported I guess.
Do you have any suggestions on how to handle async code like calling APIs?
Thank you in advance.

Single commodity trading platform

I am looking at developing a trading platform that services a single commodity. Initially I want to keep as light weight as possible. It would only need to service the basic needs for transactions between two parties that want to trade. Is flask a good option?

I am fairly new to flask, but it appeals to me as it seems to be relatively lightweight compared to something like Django. I find some frameworks are far too feature rich, especially when you want something basic. I just want to be sure that flask isn’t too feature poor?

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

It uses websockets with Django channels and xterm.js for the terminal.

Has multiple features as full screen mode, favorite commands, recording of actions and history of commands among others.

Gunicorn and Nginx

I understand that Gunicorn with sync workers likes to be deployed behind an Nginx proxy. The limit of my knowledge of this matter is because Gunicorn is susceptible to DDOS attacks and Nginx isn't (as much). (Also SSL, routing etc etc).

What I don't understand is why Gunicorn is susceptible and why Nginx is less. And, why Nginx proxy traffic to Gunicorn is better than the traffic just hitting Gunicorn.

I also understand buffering comes into play. I understand this as Gunicorn can respond quickly back to Nginx and Nginx and deal with the faff of getting the response back to the client. What other benefits are these in this configuration?

Hiding Flash Message

Hi all, I didn't like the way the default flash message looked so just learned how to grab the message with html and style it, but now I have the default flash message and the custom ones. Is there a way to turn off the default?

Use Firebase with Tkinter (Free Database & Authentication)

Hey, heres a tutorial I made that shows how to use Firebase with Tkinter to create a simple application that has authentication and which uses the Firestore database: https://youtu.be/hxuiRPUJMwU?si=QF0zevMvOmq6BN1K

Using Firebase is much easier than setting up your own backend and you can start using it for free!

CPU barely reaches 6%

I have been working on a django project, and noticed that even if I bombard my server with requests, the CPU usage never crosses 6%.
My requests take around 300ms, with total 16 gunicorn worker.
But when I spam requests, the response time increases exponentially. I figured that requests were getting queued by gunicorn, but cpu usage never crosses 6%.
Am I missing something?

Python zrok SDK - Crazy sssimple, crazy sssecure peer-to-peer ingressss for your applicationsss.

Last year, we released zrok, an open-source sharing platform built on top of OpenZiti - think, an alternative to Ngrok, Tailscale Funnel, and others. It makes sharing resources like HTTP servers, TCP and UDP tunnels, and files simple, fast, and secure.
We have now released a Python SDK so that a simple, secure sharing model for sharing can be extended to work for your custom tools and applications as part of your binary. Read more on our blog - https://blog.openziti.io/the-python-zrok-sdk. We have included an example enabled using flask and waitress.
We also have a zrok SDK for Golang. Support for other languages is forthcoming. If you'd like to express interest in having the zrok SDK support other languages, contact us on our Discourse.
If you like zrok and want to support its continued development, please drop a star on our repository on GitHub; it means a lot to us.
