No matter what i do, database record will not update while testing.

Hi, I'm trying to develop a simple crud app where user can save their contacts. Using django and htmx.

Naturally there must be a view to edit individual contacts. So the view works fine. Upon click, a htmx request is sent, a modal shows that will be populated with a form, and the form itself is prepopulated with that specific record data.

Upon submitting, a htmx post request is sent, record is updated, i trigger an event (using HX-Trigger) to clean up the form, close the modal, and refresh the table.

Everything is OK so far.

The problem is when i try to test this view. Using pytest (for fixtures) and pytest-django (for database access). The status code will return 200, but the record itself will NOT update (i check the record before and after the request).

Here is the code:

View (Contact is my model):

@loginrequired
def contactedit(request: HttpRequest, pk: int) -> HttpResponse:
    context = {}
    try:
        item = Contact.objects.get(pk=pk)
        if item.user != request.user:
            raise Contact.DoesNotExist("Such

are non-SPA websites outdated?

I am learning django, fairly new, developing a big project right now slowly to put on my resume and as a hobby in general, i have notice that to make the user experience smoother and to beat the dull atmosphere i'd need to incorporate alot of JS that i have never used, i've actually never touched js code which makes me intimidated by web development now, my question i guess is are non-SPA websites still fine where you wouldnt have all these cool transitions in the website and instead have a bunch of pages linking to each other and whatnot, because i dont want to rely on chatgpt to give me js code that i cant even read and put on a passion project.

fastAPI & flask

Has anyone ever built an end-to-end web app using fastAPI(to build the APIs) and flask(for the templates, ie frontend)?

I was wondering how this even looks like in practice. Say you're using the create app factory-blueprint method for your flask side. You need to register routes and all that stuff. How will you tie this to your API that uses fastAPI?
Putting a reverse proxy like caddy further complicates things(I think). Do you run the fastAPI app and the flask app separately??

I understand that you can technically build everything using fastAPI as it supports templating using Jinja. But I'm just wondering if fastAPI and flask is even possible.

🚀 I built a lightweight task management system for Django projects

Hey r/django community!

I wanted to share a library I've been working on called **django-async-manager** \- a lightweight, database-backed task management system for Django projects.

# Why I built this

While working on Django projects, I often needed to run tasks asynchronously but found that Celery was sometimes overkill for simpler projects. I wanted something that:

* Didn't require additional infrastructure like Redis or RabbitMQ
* Was easy to set up and integrate with existing Django projects
* Provided essential task management features without complexity
* Used the database as a reliable task queue

# Key Features

* **Background Tasks**: Run Django functions asynchronously
* **Task Scheduling**: Schedule tasks using cron-like syntax
* **Task Dependencies**: Define dependencies between tasks
* **Priority Queues**: Process important tasks first
* **Automatic Retries**: Configure retries with exponential backoff
* **Multiple Workers**: Run workers using threads or processes
* **Task Timeouts**: Set timeouts for long-running tasks
* **Monitoring**: Track task status, execution time, and errors

# Super Easy to Use

Setting up is straightforward:

# 1. Install
pip install django-async-manager

# 2. Add to INSTALLED_APPS
# 3. Run migrations
python manage.py migrate django_async_manager

# 4. Define a

Streamlit Alternatives with better State Management

Hi everyone,

I’m a developer at a small company (max 20 users), focusing on internal projects. I’ve built full applications using Python with FastAPI for the backend and React for the frontend. I also have experience with state management tools like Redux (Thunks, Sagas), Zustand, and Tanstack Query.

While FastAPI + React is powerful, it comes with significant overhead. You have to manage endpoints, handle server and client state separately in two different languages, and ensure schema alignment. This becomes cumbersome and slow.

Streamlit, on the other hand, is great for rapid prototyping. Everything is in Python, which is great for our analytics-heavy workflows. The challenge arises when the app gets more complex, mainly due to Streamlit's core principle of full-page re-renders on user input. It impacts speed, interactivity, and the ghost UI elements that make apps look hacky and unprofessional—poor UX overall. The newer versions with fragments help with rerenders, but only to a degree. Workarounds to avoid rerenders often lead to messy, hard-to-maintain code.

I’ve come across Reflex, which seems more state-centric than Streamlit. However, its user base is smaller, and I’m curious if there’s a reason for that. Does anyone have experience with Reflex and can share their insights? Or

SmolML: Machine Learning from scratch, explained!

# What my project does

Hello everyone! Some months ago I implemented a whole machine learning library from scratch in Python for educational purposes, just looking at the concepts and math behind. No external libraries used.

I've recently added comprehensive guides explaining every concept from the ground up – from automatic differentiation to backpropagation, n-dimensional arrays and tree-based algorithms. This isn't meant to replace production libraries (it's purposely slow since it's pure Python!), but rather to serve as a learning resource for anyone wanting to understand how ML actually works beneath all the abstractions.

The code is fully open source and available here: https://github.com/rodmarkun/SmolML

# Target audience

Students, developers, educators, or basically anyone who wants to learn how ML works on the inside. If you're learning ML or just curious about the inner workings of libraries like Scikit-learn or PyTorch, I'd love to hear your thoughts or feedback!

# Comparison

While other similar projects use already established libraries like NumPy or Scikit-learn, everything in SmolML is made from scratch. Guides are also provided in order to understand every concept included.

How to make a flask app access an api via vpn?

Hi guys. I'm new to flask so this question may be a little strange.

I have a flask app that access a rest API that works only in Italy, that works fine in local.

But when I deploy my app on PythonAnywhere or Render, it won't work because it is deployed in europe (I think, like in Frankfurt) and it can't access the api (An error occurred: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://***.******.com/rest/v1/auth/login)

Is there a way to access to that api and bypass the geoblock like via vpn? And how to implement that in flask?

Any way to solve this situation would be appreciated. Thank You!

Djoser | password reset nightmare

Hi community! I’m using Djoser + Django REST Framework for authentication and I’m getting a little frustrated about the password‑reset flow (JUST A LITTLE 🥲).
My password‑reset emails generates links like: (http://localhost:8000/auth/users/reset_password_confirm/uid/token/)

The problem is that this endpoint expects a POST with the user’s new password, but clicking the link issues a GET, so the request fails immediately.

Most of the solutions I’ve found feel hacky, because they require either:
\- Overriding the Djoser view to handle a GET (redirecting to my frontend) and then handling a POST to the same URL to set the new password
\- Modifying Djoser’s email templates (which just feels bad to me)

Does anyone know a cleaner way to work around this? Any alternative patterns, suggestions, or insights would be hugely appreciated!

First Django project! Need suggestions with "front-end"

Hi all! I'm working on my first Django project, using Django (obvs) and DRF. I have the basics ready to deploy the project and have it ready as a portfolio piece. For a portfolio, I'm wondering how I can display the web app. Right now I'm using DRF's browsable API, I'm wondering if it's best to use Django templates to add some user friendliness to the project, or would it be worth learning React to 1 expand my skill set. 2. Have a better-looking project, or is there a better alternative anyone could suggest? I appreciate any help, guys!
