Hypercorn VS Uvicorn VS Daphne+Gunicorn? (Behind Nginx)

Hi folks,

I have a setup with Websockets (HTMX and older code) that I'm progressively dumping for Server Sent events with HTMX.

One thing I realized when starting to use SSE is that the http/1.1 protocol seems to limit the number of open connections, so after i open a couple tabs, nothing loads in the newer tabs until I close the first ones. Using runserver in developement made me chase that bug for 2 days.

By using an http/2 compatible server like hypercorn, I was able to get rid of the issue.

Now, for production... I'm behind Nginx and I have http/2 working properly on it. Couple questions for experienced devops here:
\- Is there a performance difference between Nginx with http2 + an http/1.1 server behind like uvicorn? Should I aim for http2 all the way?
\- What are your general insights for performance when it comes to an app with SSE? Should I keep Gunicorn in WSGI and send SSE traffic to an ASGI server? Or should I just use nginx+uvicorn everywhere.

Any insight appreciated

P Question about server GPU needs for for DeepLabCut for high throughput

Hi all,

Currently working on a project that uses DeepLabCut for pose estimation. Trying to figure out how much server GPU VRAM I need to process videos. I believe my footage would be 1080x1920p. I can downscale to 3fps for my application if that helps increase the analysis throughput.

If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it!

TIA

Edit:
From my research I saw a 1080ti was doing ~60fps with 544x544p video. A 4090 is about 200% faster but due to the increase in the footage size it only does 20 fps if you scale it relatively to the 1080ti w/ 544p footage size.

Wondering if that checks out from anyone that has worked with it.

Flask Hosting: Cold starts and restarts

I built a small site with Flask and hosted it on Render’s free tier.

Initially, I had it on PythonAnywhere, but they didn’t seem to offer a way to add a custom domain on the free plan—or at least, it wasn’t straightforward.

Migrating to Render was easy, and setting up the domain was simple. But soon, I ran into two major problems.

Data Loss

I would save data to my database through the website, only to come back hours later and find it gone. I thought it was an issue with my commits and spent time troubleshooting, only to realize that Render frequently restarts services.

Why did this affect my database?

I was using SQLite. Since SQLite stores data in a file on the web service itself, every time the service restarted, it reverted to the last deployed state, wiping out any new data.

I eventually migrated to Postgres with Neon to fix this.

Cold Starts

Since my site only gets 3–4 visitors a day, it often sits idle. Naturally, I expected it to be put to sleep occasionally. But the real problem? It takes almost a full minute to wake up.

I don’t know about you, but if I visited a site called wisefool.xyz and it took that long

Is there something better than exceptions?

Ok, let's say it's a follow-up on this 11-year-old post
https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/257x8f/honest\_question\_why\_are\_exceptions\_encouraged\_in/

Disclaimer: I'm relatively more experienced with Rust than Python, so here's that. But I genuinely want to learn the best practices of Python.

My background is a mental model of errors I have in mind.
There are two types of errors: environment response and programmer's mistake.
For example, parsing an input from an external source and getting the wrong data is the environment's response. You *will* get the wrong data, you should handle it.
Getting an n-th element from a list which doesn't have that many elements is *probably* a programmer's mistake, and because you can't account for every mistake, you should just let it crash.

Now, if we take different programming languages, let's say C or Go, you have an error code situation for that.
In Go, if a function can return an error (environment response), it returns "err, val" and you're expected to handle the error with "if err != nil".
If it's a programmer's mistake, it just panics.
In C, it's complicated, but most stdlib functions return error code and you're expected to check if it's not zero.
And their handling

Any good Python resume projects that AREN'T machine learning?

I'm seeking my first internship and i wanna make a project that showcases my python skills. I tried to get into machine learning using Andrew Ng's course but i wasn't really enjoying it at all i don't think it's for me, but I might pick it up again in the future.

So what are some good projects that recruiters/employers like to see? I won't be aiming for ML/data roles, at least for now

Playa PDF: A strong pdfminer successor

Hi there fellas,

I wanna intro you to a great library - not one of mine, but one which I feel deserves some love and stars.

The library in questions is PLAYA which stands for "Parallel and/or LAzY Analyzer for PDF".

What is this?

This library is similar in scope to pdfminer and its fork pdfminer.six - long-established libraries for manipulating and extracting data from PDF files.

It is partially based on pdfminer.six and includes code from it - but it substantially improves on it in multiple ways.

1. It handles a broader range of PDFs and PDF issues, being very close to the (horrible) specification. For example, the author of the library (dhaines) has recently added an enormous test suite from PDF.js (one of the more ancient libraries in this space), which includes a whole gamut of weird PDFs it can handle.
2. It's much faster - well, as far as Python goes, but it is faster than the other Python libs by a factor of at least two, if not three, and not only when parallelizing.
3. complete metadata extraction - this part is what got me into this since I am integrating this with Kreuzberg now (a library of mine, which you

Interactive Python Learning Series: From Numbers to Exceptions

Hey Python folks,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on, creating interactive Python tutorials — series of Python fundamentals notebooks in our marimo-learn repository.

What This Project Does: We've built tutorials covering the Python journey from basics to more complex topics. The notebooks are reactive — change code in one place and see updates ripple through in real-time, which makes learning way more intuitive. The content covers Python fundamentals (data types, strings, collections) and builds up to functions, modules, and exception handling. What makes these different is that they're fully interactive and run natively in your browser (thanks to WASM & Pyodide).

Target Audience: Python learners and teachers who prefer hands-on experimentation over passive reading; devs who want to explore Python concepts through an interactive medium rather than static documentation.

Comparison to Alternatives: Unlike static tutorials or videos, these notebooks combine explanation, code, and output in a reactive environment. When you modify code in one cell, all dependent cells automatically update, showing how concepts interconnect.

Source Code: All notebooks are available at /python folder, organized in an appropriate progression (in terms of topics).

We're also looking for Python enthusiasts to contribute additional specialized tutorials. If you're interested, check out our GitHub repository for

Problem with template form

Hello all, working on a learning project where I am trying to create an add user form. The form contains a select element that pulls its options from a database table that holds all of the "tracks" that are available. The intent is that the Track.trackName will be passed with the POST request. However, all that gets passed is the first word of Track.trackName....How am I being dumb? This is the relevant code:

\--Part of template--

<form action="./addLearner" method="POST" id="addLearner">
{% csrf_token %}

Looking for Feedback: HTMX + Django Package

I posted about this package a while ago, but at that point, it was still early in development, and the documentation was lacking. Since then, it has matured a lot, and the documentation has been completely restructured and improved. Additionally, I’ve created a demo site so you can see the package in action with a basic list page featuring CRUD operations (link below).

The core idea of the package (explained in more detail in the docs) is to provide quasi-Django CBV-style views, called hx-requests, which HTMX requests are routed to. This approach separates HTMX-specific logic from your main views by providing dedicated hx-requests to handle them, but at the same time these hx-requests have access to the view’s context, eliminating the need for logic duplication.

There are also other useful features, such as:

* Returning template blocks easily from an hx-request
* Built-in support for Django messages, now with async capabilities
* Integrated modal handling

It’s difficult to summarize everything here, so I’d love for you to check out the demo and documentation and share your feedback!

Demo: [https://hx-requests-demo.com/](https://hx-requests-demo.com/)
Docs: [https://hx-requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html](https://hx-requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)
Github: [https://github.com/yaakovLowenstein/hx-requests](https://github.com/yaakovLowenstein/hx-requests) (feel free to give a star 😊)

TL;DR: A package that provides quasi CBV-style views (hx-requests) as dedicated endpoints for HTMX requests, allowing
