robinzhon: a library for fast and concurrent S3 object downloads

What My Project Does

robinzhon is a high-performance Python library for fast, concurrent S3 object downloads. Recently at work I have faced that we need to pull a lot of files from S3 but the existing solutions are slow so I was thinking in ways to solve this and that's why I decided to create robinzhon.

The main purpose of robinzhon is to download high amounts of S3 Objects without having to do extensive manual work trying to achieve optimizations.

Target Audience
If you are using AWS S3 then this is meant for you, any dev or company that have a high s3 objects download can use it to improve their process performance

Comparison
I know that you can implement your own concurrent approach to try to improve your download speed but robinzhon can be 3 times faster even 4x if you start to increase the max_concurrent_downloads but you must be careful because AWS can start to fail due to the amount of requests.

Need Career Advice: Stuck in .NET Web Forms, Should I Switch to Python Flask?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working at a company for the past 4 months. I was hired to work on a .NET Web Forms project, but the pace of work is extremely slow. For the last 3 months, I haven’t written any real code — I’ve just been learning about Web Forms.

The company is saying they’ll give me actual work on an ERP project starting next week, but honestly, I’m not feeling confident. I’ve been told there will be no proper mentorship or guidance, and I find ERP systems really hard to grasp.

On the other hand, I’m passionate about innovation and working with new technologies. I really enjoy Python and I’ve been considering switching over to Flask development instead, since it aligns more with what I want to do in the future.

I’m feeling a lot of stress and confusion right now. Should I stick it out with this company and the ERP/.NET stuff, or should I start focusing on Python Flask and make a shift in that direction?

Any advice from experienced developers would be really appreciated. Thanks!

uvify: Turn any python repository to environment (oneliner) using uv python manager

Code: [https://github.com/avilum/uvify](https://github.com/avilum/uvify)

\*\* What my project does \*\*

uvify generates oneliners and dependencies list quickly, based on local dir / github repo.
It helps getting started with 'uv' quickly even if the maintainers did not use 'uv' python manager.

uv is the fastest pythom manager as of today.

* Helps with migration to `uv` for faster builds in CI/CD
* It works on existing projects based on: `requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml` or [`setup.py`](http://setup.py/), recursively.
* Supports local directories.
* Supports GitHub links using [Git Ingest](https://gitingest.com/).
* It's fast!

You can even run uvify with uv.
Let's generate oneliners for a virtual environment that has `requests` installed, using PyPi or from source:

# Run on a local directory with python project
uv run --with uvify uvify . | jq

# Run on requests source code from github
uv run --with uvify uvify https://github.com/psf/requests | jq
# or:
# uv run --with uvify uvify psf/requests | jq

Be careful on suspicious projects like this

https://imgur.com/a/YOR8H5e

Be careful installing or testing random stuff from the Internet. It's not only typesquatting on PyPI and supply chain atacks today.
This project has a lot of suspicious actions taken:

Providing binary blobs on github. NoGo!
Telling you something like you can check the DLL files before using. AV software can't always detect freshly created malicious executables.
Announcing a CPP project like it's made in Python itself. But has only a wrapper layer.
Announcing benchmarks which look too fantastic.
Deleting and editing his comments on reddit.
Insults during discussions in the comments.
Obvious AI usage. Emojis everywhere! Coincidently learned programming since Chat-GPT exists.
Doing noobish mistakes in Python code a CPP programmer should be aware of. Like printing errors to STDOUT.


I haven't checked the DLL files. The project may be harmless. This warning still applies to suspicious projects. Take care!

Project recommendations

I recently started learning Flask and have now successfully created a website for films with information about actors and films.

I understand flask well, i.e. how to pass data to flask with Python to fill the website with the data.

I want to become more professional and deepen my knowledge of Flask. Therefore, I'm asking what ideas you have for Flask web development. Thanks.

I've created a lightweight tool called "venv-stack" to make it easier to deal with PEP 668

Hey folks,

I just released a small tool called venv-stack that helps manage Python virtual environments in a more modular and disk-efficient way (without duplicating libraries), especially in the context of PEP 668, where messing with system or user-wide packages is discouraged.

[https://github.com/ignis-sec/venv-stack](https://github.com/ignis-sec/venv-stack)

[https://pypi.org/project/venv-stack/](https://pypi.org/project/venv-stack/)

# Problem

* PEP 668 makes it hard to install packages globally or system-wide-- you’re encouraged to use virtualenvs for everything.
* But heavy packages (like torch, opencv, etc.) get installed into every single project, wasting time and tons of disk space. I realize that pip caches the downloaded wheels which helps a little, but it is still annoying to have gb's of virtual environments for every project that uses these large dependencies.
* So, your options often boil down to:
* Ignoring PEP 668 all-together and using --break-system-packages for everything
* Have a node\_modules-esque problem with python.

# What My Project Does

Here is how layered virtual environments work instead:

1. You create a set of base virtual environments which get placed in \~/.venv-stack/
2. For example, you can have a virtual environment with your ML dependencies (torch, opencv, etc) and a virtual environment with all the rest of your non-system packages. You can create these base layers like this: `venv-stack base

FastLaunchAPI – A production-ready FastAPI starter with auth, Stripe, background jobs, and more

What My Project Does
FastLaunchAPI is a full FastAPI starter kit that helps you build and launch backends quickly. It comes with:

JWT authentication (email verification and social login)
Stripe integration for subscriptions and webhooks
PostgreSQL with SQLAlchemy and Alembic
Celery for background tasks
Email support with SMTP and HTML templates
Pytest setup for testing
Auto-generated API docs
Optional LangChain/OpenAI integration if needed

It’s structured for real-world use and takes about 10 minutes to set up.

Target Audience
This is for developers working on production projects like SaaS apps, APIs, and internal tools. It’s not a learning resource or tutorial but a ready-to-use foundation. The project is paid and closed source, but includes full documentation and lifetime access.

Comparison
Many FastAPI templates are either very basic or overly complex. This one tries to stay practical and clean while covering the features most apps need. It's based on the open-source fastapi-quick-template and adds payments, background jobs, email, and other tools on top. This template was also build by me and gained 30 organic stars through GitHub without being shared.

Happy to hear any thoughts or suggestions.

How do you guys get jobs?

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out because I'm having a tough time landing a job in web development, and it's starting to feel pretty discouraging.

For the past two years, I've been working on personal projects and have become quite confident with Django, setting up REST APIs, and of course, Python in general. I also have some front-end experience mostly using Django template but I'm currently learning Angular to broaden my skill set.

I left my last job and am now trying to switch careers into web development full-time. Despite all the work I've done and the skills I've built, I'm finding it extremely difficult to even get interviews, let alone land a job.

If anyone has advice on how to break through, improve my job search, or better present my experience, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Flask for AI Web App – When to Use Class-Based Views? Do I Need Flask-RESTX

Hi everyone, I'm new to Flask and currently working on an AI-based web application. It's a complete portal with role-based access control (RBAC) and real-time computer vision surveillance.

Our manager chose Flask as the backend because of its lightweight nature. I have a couple of questions:

1. How do I decide whether to use class-based views or function-based views in Flask? Are there any clear signs or guidelines?

2. Is it common practice to use Flask-RESTX (or similar REST libraries) with Flask for building APIs? Or should I stick with plain Flask routes and logic?

Would appreciate any advice or best practices from those who’ve built full-stack or AI-related apps using Flask.

Thanks in advance!
