What python based game engine would you recommend?

For some background info, I have been using python for school since 2024 but i'm still kinda grasping some aspects of it. For my school project, I have decided to create a video game. For context, the game is supposed to have a story aspect at first, but then after the story is completed, it is more free play. Like the player gets to walk around and interact with the world. I plan on having these world interactions being either connected to a crafting system or combat system. Currently I'm torn between using either pygame or pyglet.

Any advice on which engine I should use? Or any recommendations on a completely different game engine to use?

Just looking for some opinions!

Where do enterprises run analytic python code?

I work at a regional bank. We have zero python infrastructure; as in data scientists and analysts will download and install python on their local machine and run the code there.

There’s no limiting/tooling consistency, no environment expectations or dependency management and it’s all run locally on shitty hardware.

I’m wondering what largeish enterprises tend to do. Perhaps a common server to ssh into? Local analysis but a common toolset? Any anecdotes would be valuable :)

What I believe to be a minor change, caused my flask startup to break...can someone explain why?

The following are 2 rudimentary test pages. One is just a proof of concept button toggle. The second one adds toggleing gpio pins on my pi's button actions.

The first one could be started with flask run --host=0.0.0.0 The second requires: FLASK\_APP=app.routes flask run --host=0.0.0.0

from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)

led1_state = False
led2_state = False

.route("/")
def index():
return render_template("index.html", led1=led1_state, led2=led2_state)

.route("/toggle/<int:led>")
def toggle(led):
global led1_state, led2_state

if led == 1:
led1_state = not led1_state
elif led == 2:
led2_state = not led2_state

return render_template("index.html", led1=led1_state, led2=led2_state)

Setting up a Windows 2016 server to run a flask app

greetings,

I have a windows 2016 server that I’m having a real issue trying to setup to serve out a flask app. I’ve googled several “how tos” and they just don’t seem to work right. Can someone point me to an actual step by step tutorial on how to set it up? I need this running on a windows server due to having issues connecting Linux machines to a remote mmsql database server.

thanks


\------UPDATE--------

I abandoned the idea of running this on Windows and instead got it working on Linux. So much easier.

Thanks for the input.

D Can LLMs Have Accurate World Models?

I have seen many articles (one example https://aiguide.substack.com/p/llms-and-world-models-part-1) stating that LLMs have no coherent/effective world models and because of this their accuracy is inherently limited. Can this obstacle be overcome, and if not why?

Django Learning Path 2025

Hello all,

my question is quite easy and hard at the same time: What would be an optimized learning path for learning Django in 2025?

In a future job opportunity I would be tasked with developing an existing Django project, also enhance features and do maintenance for an existing Netbox deployment + custom plugins.

My time constraints would allow for about an hour of learning per day for 4-5 months from now on.

I have some prior Python experience in a professional context, but more on the Flask and functions-framework side of life.

I'm happy about every useful tip, so thank you in advance!

What packages should intermediate Devs know like the back of their hand?

Of course it's highly dependent on why you use python. But I would argue there are essentials that apply for almost all types of Devs including requests, typing, os, etc.

Very curious to know what other packages are worth experimenting with and committing to memory

Synchrotron - a pure python live audio engine!

Hello everyone! I've spent the past year working on Synchrotron \- a live audio engine I've been programming from the ground up in only Python. This mainly stems from being tired of everything live audio being written in JUCE/C/C++, and the usual response to "how do you make a synth in Python" being "just don't".

Sure, Python isn't as performant as other languages for this. But in exchange, it's incredibly modular and hackable! I aim to keep working on Synchrotron until it's an actual legitimate option for music production and production audio engines.

Frontend URL: https://synchrotron.thatother.dev/
Source code: https://github.com/ThatOtherAndrew/Synchrotron

# What My Project Does

Synchrotron processes nodes, which are simple Python classes that define some operation they do with inputs and outputs. A node can be as short as 5 lines, and an example is shown below:

class IncrementNode(Node):
input: StreamInput
output: StreamOutput

def render(self, ctx):
self.out.write(self.a.read(ctx) + 1)

These nodes can be spawned and linked together into a graph, either programmatically or through the

Preventing ZIP parser confusion attacks on Python package installers

uv and PyPI have both released statements on a hypothetical security vulnerability that has been prevented in PyPI and uv 0.8.6+.

PyPI Summary: https://discuss.python.org/t/pypi-is-preventing-zip-parser-confusion-attacks-on-python-package-installers/101572/2

uv summary: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/tag/0.8.6

PyPI detailed blog post: https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2025-08-07-wheel-archive-confusion-attacks/

uv detailed blog post: https://astral.sh/blog/uv-security-advisory-cve-2025-54368

While probably not critical by itself if you are security paranoid or you use uv and a non-PyPI third party index that non trusted users can upload to I would recommend upgrading uv.

🚀 Introducing django-sightline — Smart, Lightweight, Privacy-Friendly Visit Logging for Django

Hey everyone!

I’ve just released `django-sightline` **v0.1.0**, a plug-and-play app that lets you track visits, visualize user activity, and even map visitors geographically — all from the Django admin panel.

This tool is designed to be:

✅ **Lightweight** — no JavaScript or frontend code needed

✅ **Private by design** — no cookies, no IP tracking beyond what's required

✅ **Smart** — logs visits intelligently to avoid redundant values

✅ **Fully integrated** — beautiful charts and maps right inside the Django admin

🔍 **Core Features**

* Middleware-based visit logging (IP, user agent, path, user info, timestamp)
* Smart deduplication using hashed identifiers
* Daily/total visit metrics, line charts, and GeoIP maps
* Easy customization through [`settings.py`](http://settings.py)
* Clean and extensible model structure
* GeoIP mapping (optional, configurable)
* No extra database hits or tracking scripts

Ideal for internal tools, dashboards, admin panels, or any Django app where you want basic analytics.

How weird was your first interaction with Python? I learned Python while writing a C++ module.

I was tasked with making some of our C++ code callable from Python. Before I knew Python.

Fortunately, SWIG helped a lot. Unfortunately, it was somewhat akin to performing open-heart surgery on someone you're currently on a first date with.

How to safely run python code in a container so it respects cgroup limits?

Not a Python dev, but mainly work on managing infra.

I manage a large cluster of with some Python workloads and recently realized that Python doesn’t really read the cgroup mem.max or configured CPU limits.

For e.g. Go provides GOMAXPROCS and GOMEMLIMIT for helping the runtime.


There are some workarounds suggested here for memory - https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/86577

But the issue has been open for years.

D How do researchers ACTUALLY write code?

Hello. I'm trying to advance my machine learning knowledge and do some experiments on my own.
Now, this is pretty difficult, and it's not because of lack of datasets or base models or GPUs.
It's mostly because I haven't got a clue how to write structured pytorch code and debug/test it while doing it. From what I've seen online from others, a lot of pytorch "debugging" is good old python print statements.
My workflow is the following: have an idea -> check if there is simple hugging face workflow -> docs have changed and/or are incomprehensible how to alter it to my needs -> write simple pytorch model -> get simple data from a dataset -> tokenization fails, let's try again -> size mismatch somewhere, wonder why -> nan values everywhere in training, hmm -> I know, let's ask chatgpt if it can find any obvious mistake -> chatgpt tells me I will revolutionize ai, writes code that doesn't run -> let's ask claude -> claude rewrites the whole thing to do something else, 500 lines of code, they don't run obviously -> ok, print statements it is -> cuda out of memory -> have a drink.
