python-injection – A lightweight DI library for async/sync Python projects
Hey everyone
Just wanted to share a small project I've been working on: `python-injection`, an open-source package for managing dependency injection in Python.
## What My Project Does
The main goal of python-injection is to provide a simple, lightweight, and non-intrusive dependency injection system that works in both sync and async environments.
It supports multiple dependency lifetimes: transient, singleton, and scoped.
It also allows switching between different sets of dependencies at runtime, based on execution profiles (e.g., dev/test/prod).
The package is primarily based on the use of decorators and type annotation inspection, with the aim of keeping things simple and easy to adopt without locking you into a framework or deeply modifying your code.
It can easily be used with FastAPI.
## Target Audience
This is still an early-stage project, so I avoid breaking changes in the package API as much as possible, but it's still too early to say whether it's usable in production.
That said, if you enjoy organizing your code using classes and interfaces, or if you're looking for a lightweight way to experiment with DI in your Python projects, it might be worth checking out.
## Comparison
I’ve looked into several existing Python DI libraries, but I often found them either too heavy

5 Things You Wish You Knew Before Starting Django
https://preview.redd.it/lmb92qul68ve1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=ccaeeb6b1e2419a9c50744b0d5ad0930da71edc7
After 5 years as a backend developer, here's what I really wish someone told me when I started learning Django 👇
1️⃣ Django is NOT just the Admin panel
Many people think Django is only for quick CRUD apps because of its admin interface. But the real power lies in custom apps, APIs, signals, middleware, and reusable architecture.
2️⃣ Class-Based Views (CBVs) are powerful—but confusing at first
CBVs feel overwhelming initially, but once you master ListView, DetailView, and mixins, they save tons of code.
3️⃣ Use Django REST Framework (DRF) early
If you're building APIs, DRF is your best friend. Master Serializers, ViewSets, and Routers early. It’ll make you a 10x backend dev.
4️⃣ Project structure matters
Splitting apps properly, separating services, utils, and permissions, and planning for scale early saves massive refactoring pain later.
5️⃣ Signals and Middleware are game-changers
Want to trigger actions automatically or customize request/response flow? Learn signals and middleware to level up.
💡 Bonus Tip: Learn Django the right way. Don’t just follow CRUD tutorials—build real-world systems (accounting, HR, booking, dashboards, etc.)
🔥 I’m building a full real-world Django backend course (no repetitive clones, pure architecture + business logic).

I need help understanding CRUD best practices
Hi All 👋
I'd like some help understanding best practices for handling CRUD calls for DB Association Tables. To help explain, I'll share a boiled down version of my DB Table relationship (see screenshot of dbdiagram below).
I'm using Flask-SQLAlchemy.
It feels like I'm missing something, do I need to manually write unique Create, Read, Update, Delete commit helper_functions for a Table that has Relationships? For example:
If I want to create a new 'DriverEvent' I have a module called db_commit_helpers with functions that contain logic to check if related Table items exist or not:
def adddriverEvent(dbsession, drivername: str, eventname: str, eventdate: datetime.date):
driver = dbsession.query(Driver).filterby(drivername=drivername).first()
event = dbsession.query(Event).filterby(eventname=eventname, eventdate=eventdate).first()
if driver is None:
driver = adddriver(dbsession, drivername)
if event is None:
raise ValueError(f"Event with name: '{eventname}' and date: '{eventdate}' does not exist! Please add the event first.")
if driver and event:

What stack or architecture would you recommend for multi-threaded/message queue batch tasks?
Hi everyone,
I'm coming from the Java world, where we have a legacy Spring Boot batch process that handles millions of users.
We're considering migrating it to Python. Here's what the current system does:
Connects to a database (it supports all major databases).
Each batch service (on a separate server) fetches a queue of 100–1000 users at a time.
Each service has a thread pool, and every item from the queue is processed by a separate thread (pop → thread).
After processing, it pushes messages to RabbitMQ or Kafka.
What stack or architecture would you suggest for handling something like this in Python?
UPDATE :
I forgot to mention that I have a good reason for switching to Python after many discussions.
I know Python can be problematic for CPU-bound multithreading, but there are solutions such as using multiprocessing.
Anyway, I know it's not easy, which is why I'm asking.
Please suggest solutions within the Python ecosystem

D Google just released a new generation of TPUs. Who actually uses TPUs in production?
Google recently their new generation of TPUs optimized for inference: https://blog.google/products/google-cloud/ironwood-tpu-age-of-inference/
Google TPUs have been around for quite some time now, and I've rarely seen any company seriously use them in production...
At NLP Cloud we used TPUs at some point behind our training and fine-tuning platform. But they were tricky to set up and not necessarily faster than NVIDIA GPUs.
We also worked on a POC for TPU-based inference, but it was a failure because GCP lacked many must-have features on their TPU platform: no fixed IP address, no serious observability tools, slow TPU instance provisioning process, XLA being sometimes hard to debug...
Researchers may be interested in TPUs but is it because of TPUs themselves or because of the generous Google TRC program ( https://sites.research.google/trc ) that gives access to a bunch of free TPUs?
Also, the fact that Google TPUs cannot be purchased but only rented through the GCP platform might scare many organizations trying to avoid vendor lock-in.
Maybe this new generation of TPUs is different and GCP has matured the TPU ecosystem on GCP?
If some of you have experience using TPUs in production, I'd love to hear your story 🙂

Am I crazy for running my Django app on a Raspberry Pi?
Hey!
I'm doing something fun: setting up a complete Django website on my Raspberry Pi. So far I've got Django with PostgreSQL, MinIO instead of AWS for file storage, and Nginx with Let's Encrypt certificates.
Basically, I want to have my own "home cloud" that works independently. This is purely experimental and to save some cash (Heroku ain't cheap these days!).
I'm wondering if using a Raspberry Pi like this is a bad idea. Can it work for small projects or prototypes? What should I watch out for like overheating, SD card wear, or other issues?
I just want to learn and have something working without spending money on external servers. Has anyone else done something similar?

Is someone looking for a side project?
Hi all,
As you can guess from the title, I'm looking to connect with someone who is looking for a side project.
The context is, I started a cybersecurity/privacy startup some time ago around data leaks on websites. Still pre-revenue. At that time, I was by myself and decided to go with tools that I was comfortable with (flask)...
Now, more teammates are in and interest from customers is growing... So keeping the flask API does not seem sustainable in the mid-long term anymore.
I posted some time ago a question to see if Django was the right way to go, and after jumping into the documentation and doing some courses it definitely feels like it's ideal.
With these changes and demand for more business effort from my side, I'm struggling to find more time to spend on doing technical stuff (which breaks my heart...) and I wonder if any of you would like to get to talk and see if we click and can do something together.
Thanks for reading!

I made a YouTube video creator with Python (moviePy, requests, Pandas, and more)
Just wanted to share a quick post about a Python project I made with my daughter. We love movies and also movie quizzes on YouTube, but I wasn't happy with the existing content on YouTube. I felt like the movies were too repetitive on some quizzes and also didn't have enough variety. I wanted something that could have art house films to blockbusters and everything in between.
I created a Python app that loads in a list of all movies (within reason) and then selects some number of them for that quiz usually by theme (like easy movies of the 2010s). The app then goes out and gets screenshots from all the selected movies and allows you to select one of them for each movie for the quiz. After picking all your movies, it stitches everything together with MoviePy.
It was a really fun project and another great example of what you can do in Python. Thanks to this community for helping inspire projects like these.

PLAYTESTERS WANTED: A game that secretly teaches you Python
Hello, everyone!
I am a first-time solo game developer working on a browser game that secretly teaches you Python.
It's an escape room meets an adventure game meets CTF meets puzzle chaos, where solving problems with code is the key mechanic. You start with zero knowledge, and before you know it, you're writing real-life code like a wizard with a keyboard. No theory dumps, no boring walls of text or long explanations - just you in an interactive world filled with puzzles where coding is the core part of the gameplay loop and affects your surroundings. You learn coding by playing, just as you learn any other game's mechanics.
I've successfully tested an early prototype with some friends (both coders and not), and I am currently finishing a demo/vertical slice. I am looking for people who would like to participate in my user research and/or in the upcoming playtests. If this sounds interesting to you, please sign up here: https://forms.fillout.com/t/26tNSjx29Bus
I am curious which learning paths people have tried before, so any input would be highly appreciated! If anyone else is also interested in this, I am happy to share the survey results here later, too.

Django Dev for Hire – 6+ yrs experience (REST APIs, SaaS, full-stack with Svelte frontend)
Hey Django folks,
I’m a Django developer with over 6 years of experience, available for freelance projects or consulting. I have deep experience with the Django ecosystem (including Django REST Framework) and have used it to build some pretty complex applications. My biggest project to date was developing an entire SaaS application (an ed-tech platform called Birdverse) where Django + DRF powered the backend for everything (and I paired it with a SvelteKit frontend).
# What I offer:
• Expert-level Django skills: building models, views & viewsets, forms, templates, and REST API endpoints (DRF). Comfortable with Django authentication, admin customizations, Celery for background tasks, and other common add-ons.
• Problem solving: I can help debug tricky Django issues, improve query performance (ORM optimization), or refactor legacy Django code for better maintainability.
• Full-stack capability: While Django is my specialty, I’m also proficient on the frontend side (if needed) with Svelte/TS and CSS. I can integrate a modern front-end seamlessly with your Django backend. (If your project is Django-only — e.g. server-rendered pages or an API for a mobile app — that’s perfectly fine too.)
• Experience deploying Django apps (Gunicorn/Uvicorn, Nginx, Docker, DO setups) and handling the DevOps side of things for a smooth production rollout using VS code with

Trouble Getting PayPal Receipts/Invoices in Django Using Sandbox Accounts
Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a Django project that integrates PayPal for processing payments, and I'm running into an issue with generating receipts or invoices. I’m using PayPal sandbox accounts for testing, and the problem is that users don’t seem to receive any receipt or invoice after completing a payment even though they get a email notification that their hypothetical subscription has gone through and their account has updated?
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Django Integration: I have set up my views and endpoints to handle PayPal payment notifications and callbacks, and everything seems to be running without errors.
Sandbox Testing: I’m testing using PayPal’s sandbox environment, but despite successful payments, no receipt/invoice is triggered to the user.
My Questions:
1. Is it possible that this behavior is due to a configuration setting in my PayPal sandbox account, rather than an issue with my Django code?
2. Are there any specific settings or API options I need to enable in my PayPal account (sandbox) to trigger the automatic sending of receipts/invoices?
3. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have advice on how to troubleshoot it further?

Could use some help with a project.
Hello folks,
I recently offered to help build my mom some software which she could use for her small import/export company that could help her manage various projects over their lifetime, clients and suppliers, track payments, etc. Basically a typical CRM tool, with a project management and accounting tool wrapped in that could generate some invoices and help her keep track of everything and help her company start to scale.
Since I am still a student, I thought this would be a good learning experience for me, but I think that I might have gone a bit over my head. Since I actually like my mom, I want to provide her with a system that is both functional and useable, so I would like to defer to someone a bit more knowledgable and experienced to help me build a prototype.
I am basically wanting to take some of the project management and client tracking features from Django-CRM and merge it with the accounting system from Django-Ledger. I think it would take maybe a week or two from someone unexperienced, and a couple of days from someone who knows what they are doing.
I don't have much money currently since I am a student,

DF Embedder - A high-performance library for embedding dataframes into local vector db
I've been working on a personal project called DF Embedder that I wanted to share in order to get some feedback.
What My Project Does
It's a Python library (with a Rust backend) that lets you embed, index, and transform your dataframes into vector stores (based on Lance) in a few lines of code and at blazing speed. Once you have relevant data in a pandas or polars dataframe you can turn this into a low latency vector store.
Its main purpose was to save dev time and enable developers to quickly transform dataframes (and tabular data more generally) into working vector db in order to experiment with RAG and building agents, though it's very capable in terms of speed.
# read a dataset using polars or pandas
df = pl.readcsv("tmdb.csv")
# turn into an arrow dataset
arrowtable = df.toarrow()
embedder = DfEmbedder(databasename="tmdbdb")
# embed and index the dataframe to a lance table
embedder.indextable(arrowtable, tablename="filmstable")
# run similarities queries
similarmovies = embedder.findsimilar("adventures jungle animals", "filmstable", 10)

Developers working on AI/ML projects that involve RAG / vector

Deployment of django in Windows cloud server
Hi guys, newbie here, started web dev journey to build a simple CRM software for our business. We do online retail selling mostly automotive parts. Recently we decided to develop our own internal dashboard that we can use for ourself. I took the task as I was already working here as technician and learning more stuff couldn’t hurt.
Anyway, I have developed the application using django + react. Communication between both using Axios. Now in term of deployment, from what I understand from googling a lot, I have to deploy both of them in 2 separate containers?
And I can deploy django using IIS in windows server. But I’ve been trying to figure out this since last week and I am still not going anywhere with it.
I hope someone can shed a light on what is your recommendation to deploy my application online. What should I do, step that I should take, direction, etc.

Hatchet - a task queue for modern Python apps
Hey r/Python,
I'm Matt - I've been working on Hatchet, which is an open-source task queue with Python support. I've been using Python in different capacities for almost ten years now, and have been a strong proponent of Python giants like Celery and FastAPI, which I've enjoyed working with professionally over the past few years.
I wanted to share an introduction to Hatchet's Python features to introduce the community to Hatchet, and explain a little bit about how we're building off of the foundation of Celery and similar tools.
## What My Project Does
Hatchet is a platform for running background tasks, similar to Celery and RQ. We're striving to provide all of the features that you're familiar with, but built around modern Python features and with improved support for observability, chaining tasks together, and durable execution.
## Modern Python Features
Modern Python applications often make heavy use of (relatively) new features and tooling that have emerged in Python over the past decade or so. Two of the most widespread are:
1. The proliferation of type hints, adoption of type checkers like Mypy and Pyright, and growth in popularity of tools like Pydantic and attrs that lean on them.
2. The adoption of async / await.

Company A inc, Address: New york, Product B.
Company A inc. , Address, 5th avenue New York, product C.
I have 400 million entries like these. As you can see, addresses and names are in inconsistent formats.
I have another dataset that will be me ground truth for companies. It has a clean name for the company along with it’s parsed address.
The objective is to match the records from the table with inconsistent formats to the ground truth, so that each product is linked to a clean company.
Questions and help:
- i was thinking to use google geocoding api to parse the addresses and get geocoding. Then use the geocoding to perform distance search between my my addresses and ground truth BUT i don’t have the geocoding in the ground truth dataset. So, i would like to find another method to match parsed addresses without using geocoding.
- Ideally, i would like to be able to input my parsed address and the name (maybe along with some other features like industry of activity) and get returned the top matching candidates

Hello, I'm looking for python open source projects that are looking for contributions. I don't have many contributions to public projects, but I'd like to have more. If you know any project that is looking for help, don't hesitate to put them here! Specially projects that are beginner friendly.
