I built an open-source AI-driven Code Review app for GitHub repos
What My Project Does
Hi Everyone,
I recently built an open-source GitHub app in Django/python that can post a detailed line-by-line code review on any new PR. I'd love help in testing it as I seek feedback on it.
Here is the app: https://gitpack.co/
Here is the source-code: https://github.com/gitpack-ai/gitpack-ai and an example PR review: https://github.com/gitpack-ai/gitpack-ai/pull/9
It's free for open-source repos, but I can enable this for private repos for a month or so, if you DM me. Appreciate your feedback! I hope you all can find value in it.
Target Audience
Anyone who is actively developing on GitHub

Best way to upload file in Django
What's difference using Django UploadFileForm described at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/http/file-uploads/
from FileUploadView APIView?
Why should it be serialized? And how is the file is serialized?
Why doesn't it just dump the binary on disk?
It looks like they're making simple thing very hard.

Advanced python tips, libraries or best practices from experts?
I have been working as a software engineer for about 2 years and python was always my go to language while building various different application. I always tried to keep my code clean and implement best practices as much as possible.

I made my computer go "Cha Ching!" every time my website makes money
**What My Project Does**
This is a really simple script, but I thought it was a pretty neat idea so I thought I'd show it off.
It alerts me of when my website makes money from affiliate links by playing a Cha Ching sound.
It searches for an open Firefox window with the title "eBay Partner Network" which is my daily report for my Ebay affiliate links, set to auto refresh, then loads the content of the page and checks to see if any of the fields with "£" in them have changed (I assume this would work for US users just by changing the £ to a $). If it's changed, it knows I've made some money, so it plays the Cha Ching sound.
**Target Audience**
This is mainly for myself, but the code is available for anyone who wants to use it.
**Comparison**
I don't know if there's anything out there that does the same thing. It was simple enough to write that I didn't need to find an existing project.
I'm hoping my computer will be making noise non stop with this script.

Geo Guesser Game & Dynamic Notes
https://i.redd.it/7qfezluflyud1.gif
This is a project I've been working on, its a geo guesser game and a rich note taking tool along with a place for me to demonstrate other packages and software I develop.
Everything was built in Plotly / Dash and is hosted with Flask. Thought this would be an interesting project to show and tell because of how dynamic i've built it out to be.
Still actively in development so I would be interested to see what feedback anyone has about the UI or functionality of the few pages I've created.

I created a local directory site in Django
Still needs lots of improvement, but I created a local directory site for insect control companies.
https://insectcontrolcompanies.com
It’s designed to be reused to create other kinds of directories.
Hosted on Hetzner along with a few other projects on CapRover.
There are a few scheduled jobs, such as pulling in new company info, creating profile descriptions using GPT4, categorisation.
I started out using Celery for this but then realised it’s overkill, so now I just have a cron job on the base machine that runs a manage.py command inside the container. Works much better! And saves a lot of RAM (important when running multiple apps on €8 VM).

How secure is Django?
I have several years of experience building stuff with Flask - stitching authentication, rate limiting and such stuff myself. I started using Django recently. Django seems to want to make me think it does everything for me, but I'm paranoid. Which security considerations are worth taking into account when using Django? Does it actually handle anything besides authentication and SQL injections?

Suggestions for cloud databases?
I am writing a program in Python that will need to be used by a small team of people in different locations. The program will need to access a SQL or SQLite database and so the database needs to be stored and accessed remotely.
Can I please have your suggestions for this? It only needs to be for light usage with a small team of about 5 people max and likely only 2 max accessing it at the same time. I would prefer something free or if costs are involved something with trivial costs.
Thanks in advance.

PyTraceToIX - Debugging Jinja2 template, Flask web apps without breaking the design or code changes
Project on GitHub
## What My Project Does
PyTraceToIX is an expression tracer designed for debugging Jinja2 templates, Flask web apps, lambdas, list comprehensions, method chaining, and expressions in general.
Code editors often cannot set breakpoints within these kinds of expressions, which requires significant code modifications to debug effectively.
For Jinja2 templates, the debug extension can be used, but it typically dumps the entire context, making it difficult to isolate specific issues.
PyTraceToIX solves this by allowing developers to trace and write specific data directly to sys.stdout or a stream without altering the design or making any changes to the web application.
Additionally, PyTraceToIX can capture multiple inputs and their results, displaying them all in a single line, making it easier to view aggregated data and trace the flow of values.
PyTraceToIX offers a straightforward solution to these challenges, simplifying debugging while preserving the integrity of the original codebase.
It was designed to be simple, with easily identifiable functions that can be removed once the bug is found.
PyTraceToIX has 2 major functions:
- c capture the input of an expression input. ex: c(x)
- d display the result of an expression and all the captured inputs. ex: d(c(x) + c(y))
And 2 optional functions:
- init initializes display format, output stream and

Feature Friday: Model Choices!
Time for another Django Feature Friday! 🚀
Django 5.0 introduced more options for declaring field choices. Now you can use Mapping, a callable, and strings for single-character choices, in addition to the traditional tuples and enumeration.
Previously, Field choices were limited to list of 2-tuples, or an Enumeration types subclass. Now, you can use:
* Strings (for single-character choices) without .choices
* Mapping instead of list of 2-tuples (with hierarchies)
* A callable instead of iterable
Here's an example showcasing these new options:
from django.db import models
Medal = models.TextChoices("Medal", "GOLD SILVER BRONZE")
SPORT_CHOICES = { # Using a mapping instead of a list of 2-tuples.
"Martial Arts": {"judo": "Judo", "karate": "Karate"},
"Racket": {"badminton": "Badminton", "tennis": "Tennis"},
"unknown": "Unknown",
}
def get_scores():
return [(i, str(i)) for i in range(10)]

Should I extend Django's roles and permissions, or should I create my own roles and permissions layer?
Hello everybody, I want to develop a project management web app as a learning experience, and I have thought about the functionality of the roles and permissions for the users of the web app. Should I extend the Django system and not get too complicated, or should I keep the project roles separate? And about the users? I have also thought about adding specific things like: "You can mark a task as completed", "You can see all the team's tasks" etc. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and leave your recommendations.

I created an app to animate stock performance
https://reddit.com/link/1g616sq/video/peq1orw0qdvd1/player
A few weeks ago, I saw a post that shows a screen recording of their Robinhood account. The pnl movement animation felt more engaging than a static chart, and it really stood out for me.
So I built a tool to animate stock performance chart: animatestock.com
This simple app basically animates data in a line chart. It also gives you flexibility in customizing the chart to your liking. You can also use it for things like net worth, savings, or even # of your social media followers, etc.
Let me know if you find it useful in anyway. Appreciate it!

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you recommed Django to a beginner?
As someone is trying to learn python for the first time, would you guys recommend to learn python and django for the first time or learn any other like javascript or nodeJs. So far I'm comfortable with the javascript basics but I'm trying to learn python and django. Any advice from the experienced developers here for a beginner is really helpful. And also what do you think about django for the upcoming years of development.
Is there any roadmap to get a proper knowledge so you don't miss the most important things to learn?

Project I was tired of reading through thousands of lines of documentation
Alongside Python, Im learning C. So as a way of testing how much I have learned, I decided to dabble in some socket programming in C. Found beej's guide, and got to work.
Problem? I hate reading too much educational stuff. I realized that after every 10 or so minutes I'd lose focus of what I was reading
Solution? Build a program into which I can stuff the ENTIRE documentation, then ask it questions, and it'll give me answers from the documentation I stuffed it with.
Behold, FTHEDOCS!
What my project does: It basically gives you a question-answer like interface to search the documentation, so you dont have to spend hours looking for those 2 lines.
Target audience: Anyone looking for a nicer way to read the docs. Or anyone who has a bunch of text and would like to search through it.
Comparisons: Not that I know of. Though I guess the Ctrl+F shortcut is kind of similiar

D What do you think will be the next big thing in the field? Is LLM hype going to fade?
I am happy with the success of LLMs, but I am not much of a NLP fan. What do you think will be the next big thing that will achieve commercial success or wide range of applicability (useful both in startups and large companies)?
E.g., are RL or GNNs going to start being used in practice more widely (I know GNNs are used in large companies, but still I am not aware that they are widely used)?
I consider computer vision a well established field considering practical applications, but is there maybe something new happening there?

Having a bit of an issue with Swagger UI using flasgger
Hi all. I am versed in flask but this is my first time trying to generate Swagger API docs.
The issue: Swagger (uiversion 2) is displaying mostly normally but when it comes to APIs that include a route parameter, I am not given any input field to enter a value for that parameter.
e.g.
`/api/user` will just return the hard-coded dictionary I feed the route function
`/api/user/{userid}` returns 200 but doesn't replace userid in the return statement of my route function.
In essence, where is my parameter field for replacing `{userid}` in my route with an actual value?
Note: I have tried uiversion 3 and those results are even worse
Edit: added a simplified yaml file; changed route param from int to string

Losing context path on /login with Flask-OIDC
I am running my app inside a Docker container with gunicorn.
In production, I run behind NGINX with a context path set.
For example, locally I would hit:
http://localhost:8085/fetch/path/to/file.txt
In production i would use:
https://my.domain.com/someapp/fetch/path/to/file.txt
One of the methods in my app is decorated like so:
@app.route(f'/fetch/<path:filepath>', methods='GET')
@oidc.requirelogin
def fetchfile(filepath):
try:
When I try this in production, the user is redirected to https://my.domain.com/login, where it should be
https://my.domain.com/someapp/login
It looks as though the path is being lost?
Is there some way to specify the oauth login URL?
My Nginx config looks like this:

proxysetheader X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

Parsera - website data extraction with minimal code
Python library for scraping websites that I am building for the last few months. The idea is to make data extraction as simple as:
from parsera import Parsera
url = "https://news.ycombinator.com/"
elements = {
"Title": "News title",
"Points": "Number of points",
}
scraper = Parsera()
result = scraper.run(url=url, elements=elements)
Check it out on GitHub and share your feedback: https://github.com/raznem/parsera
What My Project Does
It extracts data from websites without dealing with DOM structure and writing web scrapers.
Target Audience
Developers who are dealing with web-scraping in their data pipeline.
