Documentation generator for Flask+React apps

Hi folks,

I built a tool that reads your Flask app code (plus React frontend) and automatically generates API and UI documentation from it.

It's called AutoDocAI. You upload a zipped project, and it returns clean Markdown docs for your backend routes and frontend components.

I'd love for flask devs here to give it a try. Especially, against a bit more complex apps that could benefit from docs.

I'd be happy to jump on a zoom* call with eager developers who would be happy to discuss this project along with testing it.

Just zip and upload your Flask+React codebase and upload it. And you'll get a zipped folder with your app's documentation in markdown format.

Appreciate any feedback, bugs, or suggestions. 🙏

Thanks!

*On a free Zoom account but I'll be happy to catch up over any other video conf app.

Update: I'm okay with apps that are not important, but can be valuable from an evaluation perspective. At this stage, I'm only willing to test whether this is effective. If there's a need, I'll build an offline binary that can work with local, Ollama integration too.

Feedback for an orchestration project

I have a project in mind that I want feedback about.

The project consists:
\- Server with a REST-API
\- Multiple agent with a REST-API

Both REST-API's will be made through flask-restful.

The communication should be initiated by the server through SSL connection and the agent should respond. And what the server will do: asking to execute command like statuses, changing configuration of an specific application and restart the application. The agent does the actual execution.

So the type of data is not realtime, so there is no need to use websockets.

But I can't rap my head around about the following:
\- Is it wise to have multi-agent architecture with REST-api's on both sides or is there a better way?
\- In case of multiple agents that potentially generate a lot of traffic: Should I use a message broker and in what way in case of the REST-API's?
\- What else do I need to take into consideration? (I already thought about authentication and authorization, what is going to be token-based and ACL's)

Forget metaclasses; Python’s __init_subclass__ is all you really need

Think you need a metaclass? You probably just need __init_subclass__; Python’s underused subclass hook.

Most people reach for metaclasses when customizing subclass behaviour. But in many cases, __init_subclass__ is exactly what you need; and it’s been built into Python since 3.6.

What is __init_subclass__**?**

It’s a hook that gets automatically called on the base class whenever a new subclass is defined. Think of it like a class-level __init__, but for subclassing; not instancing.

# Why use it?

Validate or register subclasses
Enforce class-level interfaces or attributes
Automatically inject or modify subclass properties
Avoid the complexity of full metaclasses

# Example: Plugin Auto-Registration

class PluginBase:
plugins =

def initsubclass(cls, **kwargs):
super().initsubclass(kwargs)
print(f"Registering: {cls.name}")
PluginBase.plugins.append(cls)

class PluginA(PluginBase): pass
class PluginB(PluginBase): pass

print(PluginBase.plugins)

Output:

Registering: PluginA
Registering: PluginB

Pip 25.2: Resumable Downloads By Default

This week pip 25.2 has been released, it's a small release but the biggest change is resumable downloads, introduced in 25.1, have been enabled by default.

Resumable downloads will retry the download at the point a connection was disconnected within the same install or download command (though not across multiple commands). This has been a long standing feature request for users which have slow and/or unreliable internet, especially now some packages are multi-GB in size.

Richard, one of the pip maintainers, has again done an excellent write up: https://ichard26.github.io/blog/2025/07/whats-new-in-pip-25.2/

The full changelog is here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/main/NEWS.rst#252-2025-07-30

One thing not obvious from either is the upgrade to resolvelib 1.2.0 improves most pathological resolutions significantly, speeding up the time for pip to find a valid resolution for the requirements. There is more work to do here, I will continue to try and find improvements in my spare time.

Flask x SocketIO appears to be buffering socket.emit()'s with a 10 second pause when running on gevent integrated server

So I am trying to make a (relatively small) webapp production ready by moving off of the builtin WSGI server, and am encountering some issues with flask-socketio and gevent integration. I don't have my heart set on this integration, but it was the easiest to implement first, and the issues I'm experiencing feel more like I'm doing something wrong than a failing of the tooling itself.

With gevent installed, the issue I'm having is that while the server logs that messages are being sent as soon as they arrive, the frontend shows them arriving in ~10s bursts. That is to say that the server will log messages emitted in a smooth stream, but the frontend shows no messages, for roughly a 5 to 10 second pause, then shows all of the messages arriving at the same time.

The built-in WSGI sever does not seem to have this issue, messages are sent and arrive as soon as they are logged that they've been sent.

I'm pretty confident I'm simply doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what. What follows is a non-exhaustive story of what I've tried, how things work currently, and where I'm at. I'd like to switch over

MCP-Agent - Python Open Source Framework for building AI agents with native MCP support

Hi r/Python \- I wanted to share something that my team and I built for agent builders using Python.

We've spent the last 6 months working on MCP-Agent \- an open source Python framework for building AI agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for tool calls and structured agent-to-agent communication and orchestration.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a protocol that standardizes how LLMs interact with tools, memory, and prompts. This allows you to connect to Slack and Github, which means you can now ask an LLM to summarize all your Github issues, prioritize them by urgency, and post it on Slack.

What does our project do?

MCP-Agent is a developer-friendly, open-source framework for building and orchestrating AI agents with MCP as the core communication protocol. It is a simple but powerful library built with the fundamental building blocks for agentic systems outlined by Anthropic's Building effective agents post.

This makes it easy for Python developers to create workflows like:

Supabase to github typesync agent
Agents with chat-based browser usage
Deep research agents

Target audience

We've designed this library with production in mind, with features like:

Integration into Temporal for long-running agentic workflows
OTEL telemetry to connect to your own observability tools
YAML-based configurations for defining connections

Why I Chose Django Instead of Microservices for My Cloud Dev Platform

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my experience building Onix Enviro, a cloud development platform that lets users run full development environments directly in the browser. It provides container-based workspaces, port forwarding, templates for popular stacks like Flask or Node.js, and a browser-based VS Code editor.

At first, I thought microservices were the right approach. So I built the first version using:

* **FastAPI** for backend services
* **Svelte** for the frontend
* **Keycloak** for authentication
* **REST APIs** for communication between services
* **Kubernetes** for orchestrating everything, even in local development
* Everything deployed with Docker containers

Technically it worked, but it quickly became a nightmare.

* **Authentication was one of the hardest parts**: I went through a lot of trial and error trying to secure services. OAuth2 proxies were clunky and hard to manage across multiple apps.
* **Dev workflow**: Local development required running Kubernetes clusters, which made the setup heavy and slow. Just spinning things up could take 5 to 10 minutes.
* **Debugging pain**: Every issue meant digging through logs across multiple pods and services to find the root cause.
* **Slower iteration**: Even small features like template selection required updates across several services and configs.
* **Too much infrastructure**: I spent more time maintaining the system than improving

several users saving records to the database

I have a small internal service in company built on Django, and now more people are using it (up to 20). It's run by gunicorn on Linux. Recently, I've been receiving reports that, despite saving a form, the record isn't in the database. This is a rare occurrence, and almost every user has reported this. Theoretically, there's a message confirming the record was created, but as with people, I don't trust them when they say there was a 100% message. Can this generally happen, and does the number of users matter? If several users use the same form from different places, can there be any collisions and, for example, a record for user A was created but a message appeared for user B? Could it be due to different browsers? in other words, could the reason lie somewhere else than in the django service?

Anyone using GPT-4o + RAG to generate Django ORM queries? Struggling with hallucinations

Hi all,
I'm working on an internal project at my company where we're trying to connect a large language model (GPT-4o via OpenAI) to our Django-based web application. I’m looking for advice on how to improve accuracy and reduce hallucinations in the current setup.

Context:
Our web platform is a core internal tool developed with Django + PostgreSQL, and it tracks the technical sophistication of our international teams. We use a structured evaluation matrix that assesses each company across various criteria.

The platform includes data such as:
• Companies and their projects
• Sophistication levels for each evaluation criterion
• Discussion threads (like a forum)
• Tasks, attachments, and certifications

We’re often asked to generate ad hoc reports based on this data.
The idea is to build a chatbot assistant that helps us write Django ORM querysets in response to natural language questions like:

“How many companies have at least one project with ambition marked as ‘excellent’?”

Eventually, we’d like the assistant to run these queries (against a non-prod DB, of course) and return the actual results — but for now, the first step is generating correct and usable querysets.

What we’ve built so far:

• We’ve populated OpenAI’s vector store with the Python files from our Django app (mainly the

I built webpath to eliminate API boilerplate

I built webpath for myself. I did showcase it here last time and got some feedback. So i implemented the feedback. Anyway, it uses httpx and jmespath under the hood.

So, why not just use requests or httpx \+ jmespath separately?

You can, but this removes all the long boilerplate code that you need to write in your entire workflow.

Instead of manually performing separate steps, you chain everything into a command:

1. Build a URL with / just like pathlib.
2. Make your request.
3. Query the nested JSON from the res object.

Before (more procedural, stpe 1 do this, step 2 do that, step 3 do blah blah blah)

response = httpx.get("https://api.github.com/repos/duriantaco/webpath")

response.raiseforstatus()
data = response.json()
owner = jmespath.search("owner.login", data)
print(f"Owner: {owner}")

After (more declarative, state your intent, what you want)

owner = Client("https://api.github.com").get("repos", "duriantaco", "webpath").find("owner.login")

print(f"Owner: {owner}")

It handles other things like auto-pagination and caching also. Basically, i wrote this for myself to stop writing plumbing code and focus on the data.

Less boilerplate.

But really, why use ‘uv’?

Overall, I think uv does a really good job at accomplishing its goal of being a net improvement on Python’s tooling. It works well and is fast.

That said, as a consumer of Python packages, I interact with uv maybe 2-3 times per month. Otherwise, I’m using my already-existing Python environments.

So, the questions I have are: Does the value provided by uv justify having another tool installed on my system? Why not just stick with Python tooling and accept ‘pip’ or ‘venv’ will be slightly slower? What am I missing here?

Edit: Thanks to some really insightful comments, I’m convinced that uv is worthwhile - even as a dev who doesn’t manage my project’s build process.

Built Fixie: AI Agent Debugger using LangChain + Ollama

Just finished building **Fixie**, an AI-powered debugging assistant that uses multiple specialized agents to analyze Python code, detect bugs, and suggest fixes. Thought I'd share it here for feedback and to see if others find it useful! It's fast, private (runs locally), and built with modularity in mind.

**What My project does:**

* **Multi-agent workflow**: Three specialized AI agents (SyntaxChecker, LogicReasoner, FixSuggester) work together
* **Intelligent bug detection**: Finds syntax errors, runtime issues, and identifies exact line numbers
* **Complete fix suggestions**: Provides full corrected code, not just hints
* **Confidence scoring**: Tells you how confident the AI is about its fix
* **Local & private**: Uses Ollama with Llama 3.2 - no data sent to external APIs
* **LangGraph orchestration**: Proper agent coordination and state management

🎯 **Target Audience**

Fixie is aimed at:

* Intermediate to advanced Python developers who want help debugging faster
* Tinkerers and AI builders exploring multi-agent systems
* Anyone who prefers **local, private AI tools** over cloud-based LLM APIs

It’s functional enough for light production use, but still has some rough edges.

🔍 **Comparison**

Unlike tools like GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT plugins:

* Fixie runs **entirely locally** — no API calls, no data sharing
* Uses a **multi-agent architecture**, with each agent focusing on a specific task

# Example output:

--- Fixie AI Debugger ---
