I discovered context processors

Today I discovered context processors, basically I needed a variable to be globally accessible across all the templates, and wola Django has a built-in and elegant solution.

I love this tool so much!

One thing about us developers is that we not business people so if you have experience working at a failed startup, what are some signs to look out for to see if you in a sinking ship?

As someone that has worked in a startup that did not do well. I think the signs were there when we client requests were inconsistent. We would serve a client there and there but there was no project that lasted a long time cause usually the service we provided would be complete in a month or 2. The company was funded to build a product so we can transition from providing a service to providing a Saas product but when the investors pulled out that's when it hit the fan that client work revenue was not enough to run a company and we were surviving off funding.

What would Enaml 2.0 look like? | nucleic/enaml | Declarative UI

From Enaml's docs:

> Enaml brings the declarative UI paradigm to Python in a seamlessly integrated fashion. The grammar of the Enaml language is a strict superset of Python. This means that any valid Python file is also a valid Enaml file, though the converse is not necessary true. The tight integration with Python means that the developer feels at home and uses standard Python syntax when expressing how their data models bind to the visual attributes of the UI.

> . . .

> Enaml’s declarative widgets provide a layer of abstraction on top of the widgets of a toolkit rendering library. Enaml ships with a backend based on Qt5/6 and third-party projects such as enaml-web and enaml-native provides alternative backends.

---

A maintainer of Enaml has just opened a brainstorm discussion on the next major development goals.

It's a project I've long admired, though rarely used, and I'd love to see it get some attention and a revamp. I think the bar these days has been raised by projects like QML and Slint, which provide a great context in which to set new goals.

How to implement RBAC using Flask-Restful?

Hello Everyone
I am a newbie. I am using flask for a SaaS product for my company. Earlier I was using flask and custom decorators for Role Based Access Control(RBAC). But during code review they asked to change the API end points to Flask-Restful. So I am confused about this.

Thank You in advance.

Python Institute Certs: Automation Track = Networking?

Hi there,

found that there is an automation certification track including the certs PCEA and PCAA at the Python Institute. Supposedly appearing in 2024.

https://pythoninstitute.org/certification-tracks

However, in the list that precedes the infographic, it is the python for networking track (certs PCEN and PCAN) that is mentioned next to the other tracks such as general programming etc.

Does anyone happen to know whether these are going to be the same certs/ merged?
In the sense of network automation? The different letters suggest they are different, but I’m confused why one appears in the list and the other one in the infographic.

How Do You Know When Your Project Idea is The One?

I’m curious about how other developers decide when a project idea is worth fully committing to. You know, that moment where you think, “This is it. This could be big,” and feel driven to go all-in and working on it nonstop.

For those who have had that experience how did you know this was the idea? Was it a response you got from potential users, or maybe just a gut feeling? And if you did go all in, how did it go?

I’m working on some ideas of my own and trying to figure out when to know if one of them has real potential. I’d love to hear your stories and any advice you might have.

A selfhosted web app built with plain Python

### What My Project Does
- Code: https://github.com/daya0576/beaverhabits/
- Demo: https://beaverhabits.com/demo/

When switching from Android to iOS, I was unable to find a light-weighted but handy habit tracking app, so I decided to make one by myself :p

The project's name (Beaver Habit Tracker) came from a game called "Against the Storm" (which I spent over 200 hours, highly recommended). In the game, my favourite species is the beaver, hoping this web app works as a beaver to record ur precious moments in your fleeting life.

### How the Project was Developed
Inspired the idea of "web UIs with plain Python" from Three Python trends in 2023, I developed a web app with 100% pure Python <3

The app is powered by an out-of-the-box framework called NiceGUI (including Quasar, Tailwind CSS, FastAPI, ...).

Some thoughts to share after several months of development:

- Good things ✅
1. WebSocket based communication between client and server, works perfectly with Python asyncio
2. Light-weighted session based storage provided, out of the box to use
3. Plenty of UI components provided, straightforward and highly customizable
4. ...
- Disadvantages:
1. The framework NiceGUI follows a backend-first philosophy: It hadles everything on the server side -> network latency could

I Wrote a Guide to Simulation in Python with SimPy

Hi folks,

I wrote a guide on discrete-event simulation with SimPy, designed to give you a solid foundation in building simulations using Python. Kind of like the official documentation but on steroids.

I have used SimPy personally in my own career for over a decade, it was central in helping me build a pretty successful engineering career. My latest venture is teaching others all about it.

If you do get the guide, I’d really appreciate any feedback you have. Feel free to drop your thoughts here in the thread or DM me directly!

Here’s the link to get the guide: https://simulation.teachem.digital/free-simulation-in-python-guide

For full transparency, why do I ask for your email?

Well I’m working on a full course following on from my previous Udemy course on Python. This new course will be all about real-world modelling and simulation with SimPy, and I’d love to send you keep you in the loop via email. If you found the guide helpful you would might be interested in the course. That said, you’re completely free to hit “unsubscribe” after the guide arrives if you prefer.

I am trying to create multiple forms with a max_entries = to the number of usernames in the db. I realize it would probably be simpler with javascript the problem is I don't know any javascript. What would be the best way to do this using fieldList?

How do I create multiple forms with a max\_entries = to the number of usernames in the db? Here is the code I am basing this on [https://prettyprinted.com/tutorials/how-to-use-fieldlist-in-flask-wtf/](https://prettyprinted.com/tutorials/how-to-use-fieldlist-in-flask-wtf/) I tried this version in [app.py](http://app.py)

Also I just want one of the forms filled out at a time.

class UsernameForms(FlaskForm):
usernames = FieldList(FormField(CreateUserForm), min_entries=0, max_entries=0)

I also tried this example with not having `max_entries` in [app.py](http://app.py)

class UsernameForms(FlaskForm):
usernames = FieldList(FormField(CreateUserForm), min_entries=0)

I got the above idea from chatgpt so I am not sure if it will even work.

Here is a simple working example.

Here is my example [app.py](http://app.py)

Also when I try to go `flash(number_of_usernames_in_db) I get 5 so that can't be the problem.`

Flask, Gunicorn, multiprocessing under the hood. Optimal number of workers?

I'm in the process of configuring my flask app, trying to find the optimal configuration for our use case.

We had a slow endpoint on our API, but with the implementation of multiprocessing we've managed to roughly 10x the performance of that particular task such that the speed is acceptable.

I deploy the image on a VM with 16 cores.

The multiprocessing uses all 16 cores.

The gunicorn documentation seems to recommend a configuration of (2*num_cores) + 1 workers.

I tried this configuration, but it seems to make the machine fall over. Is this becase multiple workers trying to access all the cores at the same time is a disaster?

The optimal configuration for my app seems to be simply 1 gunicorn worker. Then it has sole access to the 16 cores, and it can complete requests in a good amount of time and then move onto the next request.

Does this sound normal / expected?

I deploy to Azure and the error I kept seeing until I reduced the number of workers was something like 'rate limit: too many requests' even though it was only 10 simultaneous requests.

(on second thought, I think this rate limit is hitting a memory limit. When 2 requests come in, and attempt

Why Django

Why would you pick Django over other similar frameworks such Laravel, Ruby on Rails, Phoenix, Adonis, etc?

I hear lots of people say Django very rarely has breaking changes - do you stand by that?
