ELI5: Flask vs React (framework vs. library)
Flask: a micro-framework
React: a library
Since react is a library and libraries are considered to be un-opinionated, how is the (very proudly un-opinionated) Flask still considered a framework? is it due to routing, wsgi, etc. out of the box?

Flask OpenAPI Generation?
I've been exploring Python frameworks as part of my blog on Python OpenAPI generation and I was quite surprised to see that Flask requires an extension like flask-smorest to generate an OpenAPI specification. Is OpenAPI just not popular in the Flask API community or is smorest just so good that built-in support is not needed?

Task queue with asyncio support
I like Django for it's time and battle tested codebase. Its ORM is super intuitive to use. DRF fills in the gaps which allows me to define Schemas for my request validation and expose APIs as OpenAPI spec.
I process simple CURD requests within Django. For long running tasks, I am looking out to select a library which supports
* asyncio natively (I should be able to define my tasks as `async def`) [ Most of my long running jobs are io intensive and async native library will help me there ].
* ability to handle Django ORM use cases in the async tasks, like fetching and saving database objects (preferably using `sync_to_async`) till Django comes up with native support for asyncio in their ORM
* ability to send tasks to rabbitmq instead of redis (I like the stronger "exactly once", "message acknowledgement", "custom routing" etc. guarantees and functionalities provided by rabbitmq).
I have started to develop strong dislike for Celery's pre-forking model. The workers seem to crash without any particular reason, with Signal 11, Signal 5 etc. Celery does not also have async support natively, and I feel discomfort in monkey patching it using gevent.
Has anyone run into similar requirements? How did you

Replacing CharField with ForeignKey
In my model Event, I have the following field defined:
event_type = models.CharField('Kursart', max_length=20, choices=EVENT_TYPE_ALL, default=ALLGEMEIN)
event_type. The optimal solution would be a ForeignKey to a model EventType holding attributes currently also part of Event.EventType. Now I wonder, how do I migrate the CharField to the ForeignKey? makemigrations and migrate doesn't work (obviously) because names, datastructures (ie. everything) has changed.

Flask, Gunicorn, multiprocessing under the hood. Optimal number of workers?
I'm in the process of configuring my flask app, trying to find the optimal configuration for our use case.
We had a slow endpoint on our API, but with the implementation of multiprocessing we've managed to roughly 10x the performance of that particular task such that the speed is acceptable.
I deploy the image on a VM with 16 cores.
The multiprocessing uses all 16 cores.
The gunicorn documentation seems to recommend a configuration of (2*num_cores) + 1 workers.
I tried this configuration, but it seems to make the machine fall over. Is this becase multiple workers trying to access all the cores at the same time is a disaster?
The optimal configuration for my app seems to be simply 1 gunicorn worker. Then it has sole access to the 16 cores, and it can complete requests in a good amount of time and then move onto the next request.
Does this sound normal / expected?
I deploy to Azure and the error I kept seeing until I reduced the number of workers was something like 'rate limit: too many requests' even though it was only 10 simultaneous requests.
(on second thought, I think this rate limit is hitting a memory limit. When 2 requests come in, and attempt

I am trying to create multiple forms with a max_entries = to the number of usernames in the db. I realize it would probably be simpler with javascript the problem is I don't know any javascript. What would be the best way to do this using fieldList?
How do I create multiple forms with a max\_entries = to the number of usernames in the db? Here is the code I am basing this on [https://prettyprinted.com/tutorials/how-to-use-fieldlist-in-flask-wtf/](https://prettyprinted.com/tutorials/how-to-use-fieldlist-in-flask-wtf/) I tried this version in [app.py](http://app.py)
Also I just want one of the forms filled out at a time.
class UsernameForms(FlaskForm):
usernames = FieldList(FormField(CreateUserForm), min_entries=0, max_entries=0)
I also tried this example with not having `max_entries` in [app.py](http://app.py)
class UsernameForms(FlaskForm):
usernames = FieldList(FormField(CreateUserForm), min_entries=0)
I got the above idea from chatgpt so I am not sure if it will even work.
Here is a simple working example.

Effect size calculation for Repeated measures Anova
Hello! Im running an analysis using python's statsmodels rm anova method. I have a 2 way repeated measures anova analysis and a series of 1 way repeated measures anovas. I want to calculate the effect sizes.
Since there isn't a direct function for retrieving the partial eta square measure, I figured I would have to calculate it. But to do that I require the sum of squares values. As far as I can tell, I can't retrieve those values either.
So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to retrieve or compute the sum of squares values? (Maybe I just missed it?)
2. Can I calculate the partial eta square value using the variables in the anova table (like the f value, degrees of freedom, p value etc)?

Introducing jinpro -- Vue/React like components, all in Flask and Jinja
Hey all! Longtime lurker here.
I always really enjoyed the syntax of custom components in Vue, React, and other .JS frameworks, but hated the overhead of those frameworks, and also don't really like Javascript that much (if I did, I'd learn Node.js).
I checked high and low for something that did what I want, but the only one is a library called JinjaX -- and no matter how many times I read the documentation, it simply did not work on my machine. No errors, just... didn't do anything.
So, I write a really simple and small preprocessor that allows for this kind of behavior.
In essence, you create a file (like Button.jinja) and define what arguments it takes. Then, in your jinja templates for other pages, you call it like an HTML tag -- <Button color="red">Click ME!</Button>.
Finally, rather than using the built-in render_template function, you use the JinjaProcessor.render function, which behaves exactly like Jinja's render_template -- except it looks for those capital-letter tags, renders them into HTML with the template context, and then renders the whole page. It also works recursively, so components can call on other components (like a PageLayout calling on a Navbar).
It's available on github and PyPI (through pip).

Rio: WebApps in pure Python – A fresh Layouting System
Hey everyone!
We received a lot of encouraging feedback from you and used it to improve our framework. For all who are not familiar with our framework, Rio is an easy-to-use framework for creating websites and apps which is based entirely on Python.
From all the feedback the most common question we've encountered is, "How does Rio actually work?" Last time we shared our concept about components (what are components, how does observing attributes, diffing, and reconciliation work).
Now we want to share our concept of our own fresh layouting system for Rio. In our wiki we share our thoughts on:
* What Makes a Great Layout System
* Our system in Rio with a 2-step-approach
* Limitations of our approach
Feel free to check out our Wiki on our [Layouting System](https://github.com/rio-labs/rio/wiki/Layouting-System).
Take a look at our playground, where you can try out our layout concept firsthand with just a click and receive real-time feedback: [Rio - Layouting Quickstart](https://rio.dev/docs/howto/layout-guide)
Thanks and we are looking forward to your feedback! :)

What problems do Large Language Models (LLMs) actually solve very well? D
While there's growing skepticism about the AI hype cycle, particularly around chatbots and RAG systems, I'm interested in identifying specific problems where LLMs demonstrably outperform traditional methods in terms of accuracy, cost, or efficiency. Problems I can think of are:
\- words categorization
\- sentiment analysis of no-large body of text
\- image recognition (to some extent)
\- writing style transfer (to some extent)
what else?

New Deep Learning Framework; Zephyr is on early release; active development
What My Project Does
It is deep learning library / framework on top of JAX. Zephyr was motivated by an inclination to writing FP because JAX was FP. Zephyr reflects the nature of networks and layers, they are simply mathematical functions. By reflecting this, you are able to write code quicker and easier with minimal learning curve.
Target Audience
This framework is not ready for production nor general use. It is in active development and if you do use it, I highly appreciate it and so if you submit reports or requests, I will tend to them immediately.
It is for people who would like to use JAX in an FP way.
Comparison
Within JAX: Flax, Haiku, and Equinox are your options; within python you additionally have Tensorflow and PyTorch. All of which are OO. In contrast, Zephyr is FP and you write nets and layers as functions.
OO - FP: Because zephyr is FP, it looks similar to math and it enjoys shorter code because there is no 1) initialize the module 2) call/forward/apply the module. There are only function calls. FP is more explicit tho
Here is a short example. (Some variables are not specified for brevity). README for more.
Example: Linear Layer Only
