1,000 Python exercises

Hi r/Python!

I recently compiled 1,000 Python exercises to practice everything from the basics to OOP in a level-based format so you can practice with hundreds of levels and review key programming concepts.

A few months ago, I was looking for an app that would allow you to do this, and since I couldn't find anything that was free and/or ad-free in this format, I decided to create it for Android users.

I thought it might be handy to have it in an android app so I could practice anywhere, like on the bus on the way to university or during short breaks throughout the day.

I'm leaving the app link here in case you find it useful as a resource:

R One Embedding to Rule Them All

Pinterest researchers challenge the limits of traditional two-tower architectures with OmniSearchSage, a unified query embedding trained to retrieve pins, products, and related queries using multi-task learning. Rather than building separate models or relying solely on sparse metadata, the system blends GenAI-generated captions, user-curated board signals, and behavioral engagement to enrich item understanding at scale. Crucially, it integrates directly with existing systems like PinSage, showing that you don’t need to trade engineering pragmatism for model ambition. The result - significant real-world improvements in search, ads, and latency, and a compelling rethink of how large-scale retrieval systems should be built.

Django - OAuth2 Settings with Google Login >> Experiencing Delusion

Hi everyone, me again 🧉 This time I have some doubts about OAuth2 and Django.
My goal is to set up authentication for my web app ONLY through Google — meaning users should be able to log in or register using their Google accounts.

After some research, I came across the dj-rest-auth package. I’d like to implement it together with djangorestframework-simplejwt, but that's where things start getting a bit dizzy for me.
I'm wondering if any of you have gone through this kind of setup before. If so, any tips, advice, or references would be hugely appreciated!

[Resolved]SQLite "unable to open database file" with relative path in Flask project

In my Flask project (running on a Mac virtual environment), I encountered an error when using a relative path for a SQLite database.

I placed `test.db` in a subfolder `temp/` under the project root, like this:

/flask_root/temp/test.db

And in my `__init__.py` file (located under a different subfolder), I configured the database URI like this:

app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqlite:///temp/test.db'

However, I got the following error:

sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) unable to open database file
(Background on this error at: https://sqlalche.me/e/20/e3q8)

After some trial and error, I discovered that using an **absolute path** worked:
import os

base_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
db_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(base_dir), 'temp', 'test.db')
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = f'sqlite:///{db_path}'

**My findings here:**

The issue comes from how **SQLite handles relative paths** differently than Python does:

* **SQLite resolves paths relative to its own execution context**.
* **Python (e.g.,** `os.path.exists(), __init__.py`\*\*) resolves paths based on the interpreter's context\*\*.

If you're using Flask's **application factory pattern**, the app might initialize from a different directory than where you run it. This can make relative paths unreliable unless you ensure all code executes from the exact same working directory—which is tricky to control.

Using absolute paths is a more

Backend failing to start - Electron react js front end and flask backend

I am developing a desktop app for cross platform users. I packaged backend flask using pyinstaller as a standalone executable file and then built the electron as single executable file for all three platforms using GitHub actions workflow. I am able to run the workflow and download artefacts but when I install the app in my windows I see that the backend is not starting at all. I am new to full stack development and would like to know the possible issues for this to happen. Or is there any way I could package this app but running flask in the local machine is out of scope.

CPython's optimization for doubly linked lists in deque (amortizes 200% link memory overhead)

I was reading through CPython's implementation for `deque` and noticed a simple but generally useful optimization to amortize memory overhead of node pointers and increase cache locality of elements by using fixed length blocks of elements per node, so sharing here.

I'll apply this next when I have the pleasure of writing a doubly linked list.

From: [Modules/\_collectionsmodule.c#L88-L94](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/b5bf8c80a921679b23548453565f6fd1f79901f2/Modules/_collectionsmodule.c#L88-L94)

* Textbook implementations of doubly-linked lists store one datum
* per link, but that gives them a 200% memory overhead (a prev and
* next link for each datum) and it costs one malloc() call per data
* element. By using fixed-length blocks, the link to data ratio is
* significantly improved and there are proportionally fewer calls
* to malloc() and free(). The data blocks of consecutive pointers
* also improve cache locality.

lsoph - a TUI for viewing file access by a process

# 📁 `lsoph`

TUI that lists open files for a given process. Uses `strace` by default, but also `psutil` and `lsof` so will sort-of-work on Mac and Windows too.

Usage:

```shell
uvx pip install lsoph
lsoph -p <pid>
```

# [🎬 Demo Video](https://asciinema.org/a/c7T8id39jU7ap6E0D99S5dJ6F)

Project links:

* [🏠 home](https://bitplane.net/dev/python/lsoph)
* [🐱 github](https://github.com/bitplane/lsoph)
* [🐍 pypi](https://pypi.org/project/lsoph)


## Why?

Because I often use `strace` or `lsof` with `grep` to figure out what a program is doing, what files it's opening etc. It's easier than looking for config files. But it gets old fast, what I really want is a list of files for a tree of processes, with the last touched one at the top, so I can see what it's trying to do. And I wan to filter out ones I don't care about. And I want this in a tmux panel too.

So, I'd heard good things about Gemini 2.5 Pro, and figured it'd only take a couple of hours. So I decided to create it as GenAI slop experiment.

This descended into madness over the course of a weekend, with input from ChatGPT and Claude to keep things moving.

**I do not recommend this. Pure AI driven coding is not ready for prime-time**.

"How to implement a dynamic invoicing system with separate static content and additional values in Django and React?" Post: Hi everyone, I'm planning to develop an invoicing application where: There is a static content section (such as text and templates) that multiple users can edit dynamically

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to develop an invoicing application where:

There is a static content section (such as text and templates) that multiple users can edit dynamically.

Some additional values (e.g., invoice-specific data) need to be stored separately from the content.

The application’s backend will be built using Django, and the frontend will use React with Material-UI.

Questions:
How do I store dynamic content that multiple users can edit (e.g., using a database like PostgreSQL) and ensure it's easily accessible for updates across different users?

What’s the best way to store the separate values (such as invoice metadata) alongside the content, while keeping the two sets of data modular and easy to manage?

How should I structure my Django models and API to manage both static content and dynamic data efficiently?

Are there any best practices for handling dynamic content updates and storing them securely in a multi-user environment?

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated!

My employer has offered to pay for me to take a python course on company time but has requested that I pick the course myself.

It needs to be self paced so I can work around it without having to worry about set deadlines. Having a bit of a hard time finding courses that meet that requirement.

Anyone have suggestions or experience with good courses that fit the bill?
