Trouble with Staticfiles in Django

I am Django beginner learning Django with tutorials, i do understand the tutorial and i do make a note in a way that I understand and i do update my notes when I practice but i also made notes on how to setup staticfiles and add images in Django, but i am having trouble everytime I practice the images part every other part works fine except the images part, i do everything as mentioned in my notes but in the end it just fails (the image doesn’t load up) the last time it happened it was some syntax error and based on that I updated my notes and this time the same thing is happening again and i am not able to figure out at all as to why it’s happening.

Is there any issue in Django which makes the image load sometimes and not load sometimes or am i doing something wrong?

best practices re passing parameters as keyword, rather than positional

I've been a professional programmer for 20 years but I have seen a peculiar trend in the last few years. A lot of newer or more junior developers specify arguments as keyword arguments if there are 2 or more. So for something like the below where there are no optional or keyword-only args (i.e. the function is defined def get_widgets(db_session:Session, company_code:str, page:int, rows_per_page:int) -> list[Widget]):

widgets = getwidgets(dbsession, companycode, page, rowsperpage)

They will insist on writing it as:

widgets = getwidgets(
dbsession=dbsession,
companycode=companycode,
page=page,
rowsperpage=rowsperpage
)

To me this kind of thing is really peculiar and quite redundant. Is this something that is getting taught during, say, "Intro to Data Engineering" courses or introductions Python in general? It's kinda grating to me and now I'm seeing some of them requesting changes to Pull Requests they're assigned to review, asking that method/function calls be rewritten this way.

Am I right in considering this to be weird, or is this considered to be current best practice in Python?

Self-hosted RSS/ATOM reader with LLM-generated tags, scoring, filtering, and sorting

Check it on github: [https://github.com/Tiendil/feeds.fun](https://github.com/Tiendil/feeds.fun) \[Python on backend\]

# What My Project Does

It behaves like a regular news reader, but has extra tag-related features:

How it works:

* For each news entry, the reader automatically assigns a lot of tags.
* You can create rules like `books + sci-fi -> +5 score`, `politics + new-york -> -10 score`.
* News are sorted by score, so you always see the most interesting news first.

# Target Audience

Those who are overwhelmed by news and want to save their own time.

The code is stable and should run smoothly in production.

For me it saves over 80% of news-reading time, simply by filtering out most of the non-relevant news.

# Comparison

The nearest reader with similar functionality is Tiny Tiny RSS. I was testing the idea with LLM-tags on it, but I found its tag-related features too limited and hard to patch.

Remake of an old flash game called Ores using Pyxel, and it runs in the browser.

# What My Project Does:

I remade an old flash game called Ores using Pyxels that I call Stack Pusher. You can play it in your browser and I think thats pretty neat. Any constructive feedback is absolutely welcomed.

# Target Audience:

Anyone on earth with internet.

# Comparison:

Here is a video of the original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVu9ROoBZKQ

# How To Play:

Stop the blocks from being pushed of the screen! Destroy touching blocks of the same color to earn points towards leveling up. When you level up the screen restarts, but gets tougher every level. If the blocks go off the left side of the screen you lose.

Should I be using more data structures?

A long time ago, I learned a lot about Hashmap, Red-Black-Trees and a many, many more. However in my day-to-day Data Centric Programming in Python I only use sets, lists, dicts and Dataframes. I do use trees if I have a recursive structure, but rarely.

Am I missing out and could improve my code by revisiting data structures or are these just a non-issue when doing high level data pipelines in Python?

Seeking Python Backend Projects – Developer Upskilling in Django, Flask, FastAPI, SQL

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working in Python automation and have recently been dedicating time to upskilling in backend development. I’ve been learning frameworks like Django, Flask, FastAPI, and working with SQL, and I’m eager to put these skills into practice on real projects.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone is working on a project that could use an extra pair of hands for Python backend development. Whether it’s a side project, a startup idea, or an open-source initiative, I’m excited to contribute, learn, and grow through hands-on experience.

I believe in continuously pushing myself, not just in coding but also in maintaining a balanced lifestyle. A good coding session followed by a solid gym workout has always helped me stay motivated and clear-headed—sometimes, the best ideas come when you’re not at the desk!

If you have any opportunities or know someone who might be looking for help, please feel free to reach out. I’m open to collaboration and would appreciate any advice or pointers as I navigate this transition into more backend-focused roles.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Looking forward to connecting with you all.

Looking for a couple of senior Django devs

We’re building a mental health practice management app that will offer unparalleled automation and more features than anything currently available in the US. There are some technically challenging components, so we’re looking for two Senior Django Developers:

* One Senior++ Dev with architecture experience (top range of the budget: \~$7K)
* One Senior Dev without architecture duties ($5K-$6K range)
* (We're also open to mid-senior devs for which the range would be around $4K-$5K)

We need strong Python backend developers with experience in Django or FastAPI (we're using Django, and need quick ramp-up, so I believe these two would be the most relevant experience), SQL, Celery, security, and API performance optimization. Bonus if you know AWS, OpenAPI, CI/CD or have startup/healthcare experience.

The details:

* Contract: Independent contractor (Self-employed/LLC)
* Salary: $4K-$7K/month (gross), depending on seniority
* Hours: Mon-Fri, 12:00 - 21:00 EET (incl. 1h lunch) - these are the hours that our current devs work, but we're flexible as long as there's an overlap
* Culture: no BS, no useless meetings, we want to get stuff done

I want to make sure no one falls through the cracks, and with Reddit messages, there’s a chance I might miss some. To make sure your application is seen, upload it to[

I built DjipFast - a shipfast alternative but for django

Marc Lou's Shipfast is great. I wanted something like this - but for Django.

I know that Django already has "Batteries included", but when it comes down to it, there are a lot of pitfalls and configuration errors that took me days to fix in the past.

If you are using DaisyUI + Tailwind i think you might especially appreciate the *no Node.js* dev workflow of compiling the CSS.


Let me know what you think :)

Docker and Kubernetes

Hi all,

I’ve worked mostly on backend in terms of creating models, APIs having OpenAPI specification docs etc and also have used docker containers and tied multi containers using docker compose.

Now I’ve been introduced to Kubernetes and this one pod one container is so confusing to me.

Why do we need pods? Make it manageable? Why not someone include these management/ scaling methods etc in docker itself? It feels like adding additional wrapper to docker and repeating writing config files etc.

If I have a VM then I can only have one Kubernetes to manage all the docker files?

E.g. In one VM I can setup multiple website/ backends right? How does Kubernetes help me there?

Rio Hits 100K Downloads & 2K GitHub Stars – Open Source Python Web Apps

Hey everyone,

Over the past 10 months, my friends and I created Rio, an open-source framework to help Python developers build modern web apps without needing HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. Today, we’re excited to share that Rio surpassed 100,000 downloads and over 2,300 GitHub stars since launch! 🎉

A huge thank you to this amazing community for the support, feedback, and contributions that have helped us improve Rio!

What is Rio?

Rio lets you build full-stack web apps entirely in Python. With Rio, the UI is defined using Python components, inspired by React and Flutter. Instead of writing HTML/CSS, you compose reusable UI elements in Python and let Rio handle rendering and state updates. The backend and frontend stay seamlessly connected using WebSockets, so data syncs automatically without manual API calls. Since Rio is fully Python-native, you can integrate it with any Python library, from data science tools to AI models.

We’ve seen people build everything from CRM tools to dashboards, LLM interfaces, and interactive reports using Rio, but we’re always looking for ways to improve. If you’re a Python developer interested in web apps, we’d love to hear:

* What do you like about Rio?
* What’s missing?
* What features would you love to see?

Are There Any Tools for Detecting Unhandled Exceptions or Hidden Asynchronous Calls in Python?

Title: Any Tools to Detect Unhandled Exceptions or Hidden asyncio.run() Calls in Python?

Hey Python devs,

I often struggle with unhandled exceptions and hidden async issues in Python. Existing tools (mypy, pylint, pyright) help, but they don’t fully solve these problems.


1. Unhandled Exceptions

When calling third-party functions, it’s unclear what exceptions they raise:

import somelibrary

def process():
result = somelibrary.dosomething() # What exceptions can this raise?
return result

• No easy way to detect **undocumented exceptions**.

• Hard to ensure **exceptions are properly handled across the call stack**.



**2. Hidden asyncio.run() Calls**

A function might internally use asyncio.run(), breaking if called from another event loop:

async def process():
result = something() # Is there already an asyncio.run() inside?

def outsideprocess():
asyncio.run(process()) # Will this break?

• Detecting nested asyncio.run() calls is tricky.

• Some libraries use async without making it obvious.



Questions for the Community:

• Are there tools that statically analyze these issues?

• Would it be worth starting an open-source project for exception tracking and async validation?

Would love to hear your thoughts! 🚀

D What are the best practices for using PySpark with ML libraries

I use Pyspark for the data processing part of my project because my dataset is pretty large and using Pandas dataframe would be very slow.

But once my data is ready I want to use some of the methods from sklearn such as Stratified splitting which is not available on pyspark.ml. I considered converting the Pyspark data frame into the Panda's data frame and from there using sklearn and other ml libraries but this part is very computationally expensive and leads to memory errors
