Nested Images in Wagtail

I have noticed by default images break the list structure and is inserted outside of the list. Is it possible to have nested images within a list item in Wagtail?

Turtle.py app to demo RGB color values

* What My Project Does

I've been working on turtle-related projects and I needed a simple, interactive, single-file Python program to explain RGB color values. I wrote this one up as part of my work writing [a Simple Turtle Tutorial written in Wikipedia-style Simple English](https://github.com/asweigart/simple-turtle-tutorial-for-python/) so it can be translated to non-English languages.

The app has three sliders for the amount of red, blue, and green for the window's background color. The RGB values are presented under the sliders for the 0.0 to 1.0 scale, 0 to 255 scale, and hexadecimal 0x00 to 0xFF scale. You can drag the sliders or click on the slider lines directly. There are also 14 preset color buttons along the top to click on.



PyPI page: https://pypi.org/project/turtlecolors/

GitHub repo: https://github.com/asweigart/turtlecolors

Install with `python -m pip install turtlecolors` on Windows or `python3 -m pip install turtlecolors` on macOS/Linux.

Run with `python -m turtlecolors` on Windows or `python3 -m turtlecolors` on macOS/Linux. Or run the code `import turtlecolors;turtlecolors.main()`

When the program first runs, it also prints out the color name strings that Python's turtle module uses. Unlike other lists of color names, I actually checked my list against the turtle.py to make sure they're correct. (I'm pretty sure clickbait articles just use chatgpt

I didn't want to go, but PyCharm finally drove me into the arms of VSCode, after 5+ years.

I just switched to VSCode after well over five years with PyCharm. I didn't want to do it, but I just can't stand it anymore.

Things I love about PyCharm and will miss

1. The refactoring functionality. VSCode's Python extension has that too, but it isn't as nice.

At this point, that's pretty much it.

Things that drove me nuts

1. IdeaVim. It actually got better recently, but for years and years, the undo function was busted, so you had to hit u over and over to undo what in real vim is a single operation. VSCode's neovim plugin uses actual neovim under the hood, which is obviously so much more robust and faithful, while IdeaVim will never be a full implementation.
2. The gradual accumulation of simple bugs that never get fixed.
3. It's so slow. I didn't appreciate just how slow until I switched over to VSCode. I mean, holy crap, it's 10x faster for a lot of things (opening a project, installing or restarting extensions, for example).

Here are the bugs that have bugged me the worst:

The "usages" window (cmd-click on a definition, see where it's used) constantly resizes itself too small. It's been a problem for years. They won't fix the way autosize

Ascii Video Player

Hello People!
A few months ago, I built an ASCII video player that converts any video into an ASCII art version (with audio support). Back then, I didn’t have the confidence to share it, but now I’ve decided to put it out there!

What My Project Does

ASCII-Flix lets you watch videos directly in your terminal by converting frames into ASCII characters, creating a retro, text-based viewing experience. It supports 2 modes for different ASCII rendering styles and plays the original audio alongside the video.

I used OpenCV, python-curses, and Pygame(for audio support) .

Target Audience:

This project is for anyone who enjoys creative terminal-based projects, ASCII art enthusiasts, and people who like experimenting with unconventional ways of watching videos. If you’re into tech nostalgia, retro computing aesthetics, or just want to try something fun in your terminal, you’ll probably enjoy this!

Comparison:

This was inspired by ASCII Theatre, which allows you to watch movies in ASCII art format in the terminal. However, ASCII Theatre is a more refined version of this concept. ASCII-Flix, on the other hand, is something I made for fun—it’s a lighthearted experiment that brings a unique way to experience videos in ASCII form.

How to use it:
1. pip install ascii-flix
2. Type the command ascii-flix on your

Need help with authentication

I am currently working on a project with django rest api and react js. I am confused in selecting a proper authentication method. It's a small internal web based app that would only be used within the company and targeting less than 60 users.
Should I go for jwt based authentication or try to implement session based authentication. Even though I have experience in the backend Development, I am used to code in jwt based authentication since we had a react native based app.
Does jwt have any security issues?
If session authentication is better how can I make it work with react js. I remember trying this few years back and cookies were not working when on different domains. I am planning to dockerize entire thing. Will the session work properly then?

Nb: I have been working on spring boot project for few years. My first few years was with django. Returning to django now.

LambdaLabs: Create HTTP routes, lambdas and databases in runtime.

What My Project Does:
LambdaLabs is a small-scale, hobby and proof-of-concept project that enables dynamic creation of routes, serverless lambdas, and databases. It runs over FastAPI with almost no performance overhead.

Target Audience:
Currently this project is just a toy / hobby project for getting more into python.

The goal with this project was to build a small-scale, lightweight application that allows the same power as FastAPI without introducing overhead usually associated with these kind of applications.

We launched serverless hosting option for Flask apps

Hey r/flask ,

I’ve been deploying Flask and Django apps for years, and one thing that always frustrated me is the cost—especially for small projects that don’t get much traffic.

# The problem:

Paying for idle time – Most hosting providers charge 24/7, even if your app is mostly idle.
Multiple apps, multiple bills – Want to run a few small services? You’ll likely pay for each one separately, even if they barely get used.

I wanted a more efficient way to host Flask apps, so I built Leapcell—a serverless option that deploys instantly, gives you a URL, and only charges for actual usage (no idle costs).

If you’ve struggled with the cost of Python hosting, I’d love to hear your feedback!

13 Months into Django - Built a Boilerplate to Share

I started learning Django 13 months ago and I really enjoy it. I've been building web apps and improving my skills ever since.

The more I built, the more I noticed setup was eating my time: auth, payments, same old grind.

So I put together a little boilerplate to skip the hassle - Django with HTMX, Tailwind + Kutty, Stripe, Wagtail, Django-Allauth all ready in 15 minutes.

It’s been a time-saver for me, and a couple friends didn’t hate it. Figured I’d share with the community that got me started.

UV or PyEnv for student python teaching / python installs (linux)

I teach python across a number of courses (primarily on linux) from 1st year just learning to program to MSc Level Machine learning.

For the last few years I have used pyenv to manage the python versions the students are using, either as a pyenv global for a specific version of python for the 1st years. To using pyenv for anaconda install for the MSc students.

I have not really used virtual envs with the students as it adds a lot of complexity to the students learning and they tend not te be very good at tidying up etc.

I'm thinking of moving to uv but as it doesn't quite work like pyenv I'm not sure how to manage the students python installs.

My initial idea is to write a script to install uv and then install the required python version and then install the required default packages (numpy etc etc) and generate a default root / home level venv and make this transparent to the students so basically when they login they are in a venv with everything they need.

Pros to this is the students just run python and it works which for the 1st years is a big win.

What's your best use AI code assistant?

I'm currently researching AI code assistants. As I use VSCode, and Github Copilot's free version I can switch among the models GPT4o, Gemini 2.0-flash, Claude 3.5 sonnet, or o3-mini but I've heard other developers using Cursor, PyCharm (With AI assistant), or Trae (With DeepSeek). Since I consider myself an intermediate Django developer I would love to ask to experienced devs overview while using an assistant if it's accurate in code analysis and code generation, and if it has been useful while creating new features that require broad Django knowledge and third-party apps
