Pycamo: Camouflage Pattern Generator

My project : Github:Pycamo.

What My Project Does:

Pycamo can generate camouflage from a input image base on fractal noise. It's have GUI so you can use it easily. You can custommize: Size, precentage of each color, complexity of pattern.
Target Audience:

It's just a toy

Comparison:

I have seen several camouflage generators online. Camogen Github: Camogen is the one I have found to have the best results. I know my tool is not as good as Camogen but I still wanted to create my own.

Phitter - A Python library for Statistical Distribution Fitting

I just encountered [Phitter](https://github.com/phitterio/phitter-kernel), a Python library that makes statistical distribution fitting both powerful and intuitive. Not my project, but looks very interesting!

# What is Phitter?

Phitter is a robust Python library that helps you identify and fit the most appropriate statistical distributions to your datasets. Think of it as your Swiss Army knife for probability distribution analysis - whether you're working with continuous or discrete data, Phitter has got you covered.

# Key Features:

* Support for 80+ probability distributions (both continuous and discrete)
* Three goodness-of-fit tests (Chi-Square, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling)
* Beautiful visualizations (histograms, PDFs, ECDFs, Q-Q plots)
* Parallel processing support for large datasets
* Comprehensive documentation and modeling guides

# Show Me The Code!

Here's how simple it is to get started:

import phitter

# Basic usage
data = [your_data_here]
phi = phitter.PHITTER(data)
phi.fit()

# Get a summary of the top k distributions
print(phi.summarize(k=5))

# Plot the results
phi.plot_histogram_distributions() # Shows fitted distributions
phi.plot_ecdf() # Empirical Cumulative Distribution Function

How to create a dynamic formset by reading data from an uploaded file and then allow it to be modified before final submission and storage

Hi,

I have the following usecase:

1) Users can upload a csv file of their bank transactions.

2) The file is parsed and converted into transactions instances and categorized. The categories and list of transactions are shown to the user.

3) The user can then make some modifications (e.g., change categories) and finally submit the formset leading to all transactions being saved in the database.


I am currently struggling with the (3) step and not able to get a formset work which is populated from data not yet in database.

Does anyone have examples of how to solve this? I can share code snippets of course.

Are there better alternatives for this problem? May be HTMX, given that formsets have such bad reviews.

p.s. my current approach is as follows:

I handle the uploaded csv file in the POST view and extract transactions. Using these transaction instances, I populate a formset and then render it. However, when I submit the formset no data is saved.

Any help highly appreciated!

Accessing foreign key in a template.

I'll use the typical models given with Django examples and explain the problem I'm having.

class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField()

class Book(models.Model):
name = models.CharField()
author = models.ForeignKey(Author)

I'm listing the books out in a template and need to access the author of each book. I've tried {{book.author.name}} and it doesn't work. I've also seen recommendations to use {{book.author_set.all.0}}, but that doesn't work either. Any guidance on whether or not this is possible and how to go about it is appreciated.

Dataclass Wizard: V1 Opt-in Out Now!

# What My Project Does

The Dataclass Wizard simplifies working with Python dataclasses by offering seamless de/serialization to/from JSON. With robust support for features like aliases, recursive types, and a magic-like user experience, this library transforms how you interact with data models in Python.

Whether you’re working with simple or complex data structures, Dataclass Wizard eliminates boilerplate and optimizes performance, making it easier than ever to handle data.

# Target Audience

Dataclass Wizard is designed for Python developers who:

Work with `dataclasses`, `TypedDict`, or `NamedTuple`.
Need to serialize or deserialize JSON effortlessly.
Value performance and clean, readable code.
Want advanced features like aliasing, recursive type support, or handling complex types.

From API development to data pipelines, if you’re tired of manual conversions or inefficient workflows, this library is for you.

# Comparison

Compared to alternatives like Pydantic, Dataclass Wizard offers:

A lightweight and pure Python solution with minimal dependencies.
Support for dataclasses out of the box, rather than relying on custom models.
Better performance for specific tasks such as handling `NamedTuple` or recursive types.

My first python package - MathSpell. Convert numbers to words contextually.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a Python package I recently (yesterday) developed called mathspell. It was created to assist with number-to-word conversions in my main project.

# Target Audience:

I thought it might be useful for others working on data preprocessing tasks for applications such as text to speech.

# What my project does:

Context aware conversion of numbers into words, handling ordinals, currencies, and years without needing manual configuration.

# Comparisons

Easy to Use: You can simply pass your text to the `analyze_text` function.
Saves Time: It removes the complexity of setting up num2words for different contexts. It does the heavy lifting by configuring different use cases with reliable libraries (num2words, spaCy, re)

# Usage Example

from mathspell import analyzetext

text = "I have $100 and I was born in 1990. This is the 1st time."
transformed = analyzetext(text)
print(transformed)


Output:

I have one hundred dollars and I was born in nineteen ninety. This is the first time.


# Current Limitations

English Only: Currently designed for English. Supporting other languages would require additional work.
Early Development Stage: I developed this

I Made a Django Deployment Tutorial with PythonAnywhere—So Grateful It Exists!

I love PythonAnywhere. When I was learning Python, it was a total game-changer—being able to open a browser anywhere and just code was amazing. It gave me a safe space to experiment and learn without the hassle of setting things up.

What makes me appreciate it even more now is how much they give back. Their free tier is fantastic, and their paid plans are affordable. They’ve made coding so accessible, and I’m genuinely grateful for that.

Back when I was a complete Django newb, I tried deploying on it but struggled a little—Looking back I think it was probably a typo in the WSGI configuration which made me assume it was too complicated and I switched to other services.

However, more recently I came to realize how simple PythonAnywhere makes it. Features like persistent disks (even in the free tier!) make it such a practical choice, especially for beginners.

A couple of nights ago, I stayed up late to create a "code with me" style tutorial where I deploy a simple Django e-commerce project. If you’re new to deployment or just curious about PythonAnywhere, I hope this helps!

Sorting Algorithm Visualizations! (with sound) (+ some DSA implementations)

(TLDR, Project here --> https://github.com/pythonioncoder/DSA-Visualizations)

Hey guys!

I just finished a DSA course and decided to implement some of the stuff I learned in a GitHub repo. I also made visualizations for the sorts I learned, so feel free to check it out! It's been a long-time dream of mine to make sorting algorithm visualizations like the famous ones online, but I could never get the hang of it. So, with that in mind, I hope you can appreciate the stuff I've created!


What the project is:

A GitHub repo full of DSA implementations from Linked Lists to BSTs, alongside various sorting algorithms and visualizations implemented in Python using Matplotlib, Numpy, and Pygame.



Target Audience:

Whoever wants to learn more about DSA and Sorting Algos in Python, or just wants to see some cool animations using Matplotlib.


Comparison:

Similar to Timo Bagman's 'Sound of Sorting' project that went viral on youtube a while ago, except on Python.

Introcuding kokoro-onnx TTS

Hey everyone!

I recently worked on the kokoro-onnx package, which is a TTS (text-to-speech) system built with onnxruntime, based on the new kokoro model (https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M)

The model is really cool and includes multiple voices, including a whispering feature similar to Eleven Labs.

It works faster than real-time on macOS M1. The package supports Linux, Windows, macOS x86-64, and arm64!

Chainmock - Mocking library for Python and pytest

I recently released v1.0 of a mocking library that I've been developing for a while. I use it in multiple projects myself and thought others might find it useful in their projects.

Github: https://github.com/ollipa/chainmock

Documentation: https://chainmock.readthedocs.io

What the project is:

Chainmock allows mocking, spying, and creating stubs. It's fully typed and works with unittest, doctest and, pytest. The syntax works especially well with pytest fixtures. Under the hood Chainmock uses Python standard library mocks providing an alternative syntax to create mocks and assertions. It also comes with some additional features to make mocking and testing easier.

Example:

mocker(Teapot).mock("brew").return_value("mocked").called_twice()

mocker(Teapot).spy("add_tea").any_call_with("green").call_count_at_most(2)

Target Audience:

Python developers who want a more ergonomic mocking API for their test suites. The syntax works especially well for developers using pytest fixtures.

Comparison:

Similar to pytest-mock library, Chainmock cleans up mocks automatically but provides a more ergonomic API and also evaluates assertions lazily.

Chainmock's API is heavily inspired by flexmock. Compared to flexmock, Chainmock has more familiar API if you have been using standard library unittest and also supports async mocking.
