Is PyGame still alive?

So it was a long time ago in the good old Python 2.x days (circa 2010 probably) that I had learned PyGame with some tutorials at my former work place. But nowadays since I mostly freelance with business apps, I never felt the need for it.

But since such a game development project is on the horizon after all these years, I was wondering if PyGame can still be up for the task with Python 3.x? Or is there a better Python library available these days?

I don't need any advanced gaming features of modern day VFX or anything, all I need is some basic Mario/Luigi style graphics, that's all!

Framework to use for backend

Hello guys

I recently decided to move from nodejs(expressjs) to python for general purposes but mostly for backend.
I have couple of questions.

1. Will i regret my migration to python? :)

2. Which framework you suggest for backend solo dev?

And what tips are you suggesting me in general to get used to python.

OAuth flow for API integrations

Hey guys,


I want to start planning out a system so our multi-tenant application can connect to customer's CRM API via OAuth.

We'd be connecting to more than one CRM(obviously) and I'm trying to make the OAuth process as generalized as possible. Does anyone have any good references or tutorials I can follow?


Thanks a lot

How can I do an auth?

I'm starting with django, and I understand that its architecture is loosely coupled, however I don't know where to put the authentication app, that is, I know that django gives it to me, but I must always put the logic in an app, whether in the inventory app, which requires login to access it, or in some other app. Where do you put the authentication logic? I understand that you cannot make an authentication app in the traditional way (python manage.py startapp auth) since it throws an error.

I would appreciate any advice :)

Lost my job today to an agency

*May come off as a rant, I'm sorry

So my employer hired an agency a few days ago and I got notice today that I'm being let go (I'm the only dev/seo/graphic designer/marketing/network admin).

I'm kind of lost for words right now because they're asking me to help them convert the current state to WordPress, which is what they were using before I built a completely new website.

I've worked for them for 4 months now, and I built a static 70 page website from the ground up. This includes all graphic designs, graphic animations, modals, and the hundreds of design changes because they couldn't tell me what they wanted, without me having to make it first. This includes 30 unique service area pages tailored to those areas and are all ranking decently well in a highly competitive service oriented space.

About 3 weeks ago, I converted the entire website to django (I have nightmares of changing hard-coded urls)

I built a complete admin dashboard, customer & employee portal. I built forms for blog posts and rss feeds that also post to social media. I integrated CMS's, multiple api's; I made analytics dashboards, custom on-site user tracking, automated geofencing campaigns, and more (not trying to

I made a python bot that plays minesweeper

Hello,

I made this Minesweeper bot that I wanted to share with you all.

What My Project Does \-

The bot takes a screenshot of the board and runs a classification algorithm to extract the contents of the board. It then analyzes the board, finds as many mines as it can, and sends clicks. If it cannot find any mines then it guesses the most probable position of a mine.

Target Audience \-

It's a toy project for anyone interested in algorithms or problem-solving.

Comparison \-

This is just my attempt at making a minesweeper bot. I'm sure there are many bots out there that are much more efficient than this.

do let me know, if you feel anything can be done better :)

Does anyone know what "excess events" mean for Sentry?

I got a message in my sentry dashboard "You have exceeded your performance unit limit. We are dropping any excess events". Could someone tell me what this means? Will I still get any exceptions logged, or will I have to upgrade to have this feature? What does excess events mean? Thanks in advance!

Where to Deploy Django & React App?

I want to deploy a small to medium Django & React application and I am currently investigating my options. I don't want to deploy to Azure, AWS, or Google since it seems excessively expensive.

I have used Heroku before but even there it can get progressively more expensive when the app grows. I am now looking towards options such as Digital Ocean or Render.

Has anyone used these services before and if yes, what did you think? Also, do you have any other recommendations?

Frontend sprinkles of Javascript, like Rails/Hotwired but for Django?

I'm new to Django, coming from a Ruby on Rails background. I will have to use Django for an upcoming project and would like to use Django templates with some JS sprinkled in to make the frontend more dynamic. What is the best tooling for introducing some JS functionality without having to use the heavy stacks like React single page application with Django just as an API?


In Rails, they recently introduced the Hotwired framework, which I think is fantastic. Stimulus can be used with Django templates, but as far as I can tell there is no equivalent for the Turbo component.

New

Hi everyone,

I’m pretty new to software development in general but I just deployed my first full stack application using netlify for react and render for flask. Issue with render is it goes to sleep after 15 mins of activity.

If I go up the paid plans, will I resolve this issue? Is anyone using those tiers and how’s your experience with them so far?

Also, I used ElephantSQL for my database but their EOL is approaching. I heard Supabase and Aiven are good alternatives. Any insights would be much appreciated on those also!

Thanks a bunch :)
