When to break a model into smaller models

I am fairly new to Django and was curious about how best to set up a model in my webapp. I'm messing around and trying to build something akin to PCPartPicker. When I started, I just had a model called "Parts" where all the parts were stored. I quickly realized that if I wanted to account for every specification each part might have, the list of fields in the model would be in the hundreds. There are many specs that apply to all parts such as mass, dimensions, and price, but there are many that are only applicable to one part type (e.g. fan speed, or case material).

My question is, are my two options to have either one mega-model or to have 50+ part type specific models, such as a battery model, fan model, processor model, etc. Or is there a middle path that I am not aware of?

A similar but slightly different question I also have is how to account for specs that have a variable number of values - such as part interfaces? One part might just have a single ethernet cable, whereas one part might have 5 RS422 cables, a coax cable, and a power

Webhook reciver callback url

Hi all,
I am creating an application where my application will send a webhook callback URL to 3rd party website on internet when will then send data to this URL when any event happens.

Few questions I have on my mind is,

1. Is there CORS list in flask by default which i would have to overwrite to receive data from 3rd party wensite.

2. How will I send the call back URL to the website i mean in production i could maybe just use url_for("webhookCallback", external=True) but not sure how will I send url in development. For testing

If you have worked with webhook in flask please let me know, I could look at your project.

Please tell your thoughts on this.

How to run python code from Javascript in Jupyterlab

My usecase is to get access and refresh tokens from the browser cookie or local storage using the jupyterlab cell. I have found a way to do this, but it is not working properly. I have followed the following steps

1. Enabled jupyterapp c.LabApp.expose_app_in_browser = True
2. Running the following code to get cookies from the browser

​

from IPython.display import display, Javascript
jscode = """
async function run() {
const session = jupyterapp.shell.currentWidget.context.sessionContext.session;
const kernel = jupyterapp.serviceManager.sessions.connectToKernel({model: {id: session.kernel.id, name: session.kernel.name}})
const cookies = document.cookie.split(';').reduce((acc, cookie) => {
const name, value = cookie.trim().split('=');
accname = value;
return acc;
}, {});
await kernel.requestExecute({code:
globals()["access"] = + '${cookies.access}';
globals()["refresh"] =

Why is Plotly so cumbersome to tweak?

I made this visualisation with this code.

I have three questions:

1. Is Plotly supposed to be this cumbersome to tweak? Would other libraries require the same amount of code to add the details I did?
2. Can my code be reduced in size? Maybe it's me who is complicating things with Plotly and there are easier ways to do what I am doing.
3. Any R enthusiast who can tell me how much shorter this code would look like with ggplot2? I asked ChatGPT but the result was garbage.

Bonus question: This took me an entire morning. Is it normal to be "that slow" to plot a simple figure?

Made Timely - A notebook web app in Django

Hey Django Devs,

As a Student, I enjoy using the OneNote App because it comes preinstalled with the Office Pack, and after using it for 2.5 years I got bored with it and decided to make my own. That's how I created Timely, a user-friendly note-taking solution with All functional features some examples are reminders and easy notebook sharing.

For some fun I have also thought about how to promote it - Are you tired of complex note-taking apps or limited free versions? You can look no further than Timely, a sleek and efficient notebook app designed to make your daily notes without the hassle.

The problem is that I just made this thing so quickly that some features like password reset pages are missing and it has optimization issues when more data is being loaded please tell me how I can improve it. It has a load time of like 7 to 8 seconds straight and I want to minimize it.

I am using Django + halfmoon.css library + FontAwesome Icons(I examined and found out that this is why it is taking a lot of time to load).

Just Fumbled an Interview today

So yesterday evening a recruiter called and asked my current responsibilities and sent an assesment after shortlisting. I've completed the assessment ASAP and the recruiter got back on WhatsApp after 15 min saying that they wanna schedule interview today itself. I prepared everything in django and DRF. While the interviewer just came with a word doc which has a table Schema and the discussion went from select * from table to cases and joins. The worst part here is I fumbled in joins, cause I even didn't had the time to prepare for SQL. After that he just asked some basic questions in django and ended the interview.

Felt disguised about this, anyways it was a high paying remote opportunity.
And, the JD has Django and DRF highlighted along with SQL.
Annoying part is, I even built a project with CRUD, exploring all variations in Views, serializers, throttling, pagination, auth and permissions in this time span. Which never were asked.

Who is using quart framework for microservices?

I am using quart framework (https://quart.palletsprojects.com) for a number of microservices in a SaaS application. However, I hardly hear anything about this framework on any social media platform which seems to be dominated by FastAPI. Also I'm unable to find which all projects/companies are using this framework. All this is leading to anxiety around the future of this project.

Are there any well known projects / companies which are using this framework for microservices?

How are you using AI for development?

I just wrote a shell script that copies my models.py, views.py, etc, appends the app name and changes the extension to .txt (example views.py in app users becomes users_views.txt)

These I then upload to chatgtp to ask questions and what not. I pat for chatgpt and dont want to pay additionally for copilot. Maybe I should just pay for copilot instead? 🤔

Anyway, I also wrote a system prompt asking chatgpt so act a senior software dev experienced in django a what not.

So I basically copy paste the prompt, attach the files, then say example "create a user view to do XYZ".

Caveman stuff but it works.

How are you doing it? Everybody using copilot? Myabe the amish way still?

User models

At my work, I have a system that handles several user types but only one user model and the roles relate to a many-to-many table. Today they asked my partner and I to change it and make a user table for each type of user even though they have mostly the same fields. They told us that it is to improve performance but I know that it is bad practice and I wanted opinions that would help me convince the manager not to do it that way. Thank you.

The new REPL in Python 3.13.0 beta 1

Python 3.13.0 beta 1 was released today.

The feature I'm most excited about is the new Python REPL.

[Here's a summary of my favorite features in the new REPL along with animated gifs](https://treyhunner.com/2024/05/my-favorite-python-3-dot-13-feature/).

The TLDR:

* Support for block-leveling history and block-level editing
* Pasting code (even with blank lines within it) works as expected now
* Typing `exit` will exit (no more `Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit` message)

How to properly use nested subqueries in Django annotations

Don't know if this is the right place to post this but I'm currently losing my mind. I'm working on a project right now that requires me to create some annotations for a queryset that I am trying to order in a view. The catch is that the queryset contains some custom serializer values that I need to order. I'll share a code snippet to provide some more context below:

To provide some more context, I am annotating the latest car price, the previous car price and the difference between them (all belonging to the same driver). The car prices are stored in another model called CarFeatures which is where the nested subqueries are coming from. I first have to create a subquery that pulls the latest car price from the most recent car feature for that car, and then create another subquery that gets the previous car features of the most previous car belonging to the same driver. Then I create a final annotation that calculates the difference between the latest car price and the previous car price.

def dummy_annotation_function(queryset):

latest_car_price_subquery = (

How do I prevent bots from registering accounts on my site?

I have been receiving lots of new users being registered to my account which are obvious since they have spam names with random characters like "UBaiMDsrpRfO". I know the obvious solution is to implement some sort of captcha but I would like to minimize the user friction for actual users. I don't think these accounts are causing harm to my website since I have an email verification step preventing the bots from signing in, but it does fill up my database with a lot of random data.

I would like to keep the database clean so is there alternative methods to prevent these accounts from being created in the first place, or should I just implement a background process to delete unverified accounts after some time?

DRF - How should I set a related field when I only have a UUID and not the PK?

I recently introduced a UUIDField into a mode in order to obscure the internal ID in client-side data (e.g., URLs). After doing some reading, it seemed like it wasn't uncommon to keep django's auto-incrementing integer primary keys and use those for foreign keys internally, and to use the UUIDField as the public client identifier only. This made sense to me and was pretty simple to do. My question now is what is the approach for adding a related object where the client only has the UUID and not the PK?

class Book(Model):
title = CharField()
author = ForeignKey(Author)

class Author(Model):
# default id field still present
uuid = UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4)
name = CharField()

Using the default ModelSerializers and ModelViewSets, if I wanted to create a new Book for a given Author, normally, the payload from the client would look like this:

const author = {
id: 1,
