Coding text editor for remote server ?

Hi,

I am looking for a text editor to write python code on an amazon server that is not VI/VIM/Nano. I am currently using vim , but I find Komodo much easier to read from. To get to this server I must pass an intermediary server if that makes a diff. I want to be able to edit the scripts I have on the server using a text editor like Komodo Edit or something - without having to upload the changes to the server from my local machine each time.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks

EDIT:
Didn't realise I could make VIM 'nicer' - Ill just use this : https://realpython.com/blog/python/vim-and-python-a-match-made-in-heaven/#vim-extensions

JQuery/Ajax to call a server side function?

I am having some difficulty with the syntax to actually call a python(server side) function from a button on my html page.

I have an html table with a button on each row. I understand the concept of making a call back to the python application to run

def somefunction(someVarFromTable):

Which is located on my app.py file for now.

But the syntax of JS is throwing me off. Any resource recommendations? Thanks

EDIT:
Apprently I did NOT have a firm grasp of the concept. I was able to meet my needs by calling a {{ url_for(somefunction), someVarFromTable }} on button click and then redirecting back to my updated table.

Advice to beginners - avoid generic class-based views when you are starting

When I started learning Django, I followed the Django and Mozilla tutorials. Both those tutorials recommended using generic class-based views.

Now it is cool that generic class-based views will save you coding time, but as a Django beginner, when you have very little knowledge of how views work at all, using generic class-based views will only serve to confuse you further.

For Django beginners I'd recommend to write only function-based views or your own class-based views, because they force you to write all the code yourself which will help you understand Django's MVT system much better.

The time you save in the beginning with generic class-based views will only confuse you and actually waste more time later on when you need to add much more detailed processing into your views.

My opinion only; I've been coding full time with Django for about 1.5 months.

I just finished up making a short series on the basics of NumPy and thought I would share it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxMS9I49HL8&list=PLmp4AHm0u1g3KQWb_z0b4CzSkyZpIqpe5

Hi everyone, I just finished putting together a quick tutorial series which will guide you along the basics of NumPy. I cover things like, creating an array from scratch, reading an array from a csv file, understanding array dimensions and indexing as well as many basic operations like addition, matrix multiplication and summing. If you follow the series to the end you should have the foundation to start learning to use NumPy for machine learning/ deep learning operations in under an hour.

Concerned about using Django

Hi,

My background is in PHP (It serves me well) and I use it primarily at work, however I've been learning Python and Django at home and am really enjoying using them and would like to start using them for work, but I just have a few concerns about deployment.

My main concern is portability I suppose. For example if I created a CRM system that could be distributed like WordPress this would be fairly simple in PHP as almost every host supports it and if a client already pays for hosting on servers my company doesn't use then I can just upload the files and the application would work. Is this ease of use doable with a Django application? From what I gather there is a lot of additional configuration required, and as I say if the final environment is out of my hands then I'd rather use something that I know will work.

I have considered just using PHP for work and Django for my own side projects, but I'm really like the Python language and the Django framework so if I could use them on projects at work that would be really cool.

Thanks in advance.
