I love Django! I don't use any third party django extensions, am I missing out?

Hello everyone,
Django has been really good lately for the different applications I use. Beyond the code, even the philosophy of Django has helped me structured my thinking. I also started using Cookie Cutter, that stuff is awesome. I have been tempted to use certain django extensions such as Django Markdown (for supporting markdown) and Django Ledger (for accounting stuff I knew now much about).

In the end, I didn't implement neither because I found alternative solutions. I would really love hearing from the community?
1. Do you stand by any specific django extensions that you use in your projects?
2. How is your experience like as a someone who contributes to extensions?
3. What were some of your negative experiences with extensions?

Niquests v3.9.0 Released

We are proud to announce our latest advancement for Niquests. Since last time we published in
this community, a lot of things happened.

We landed for you:

- Post-Quantum Security for QUIC
- QUIC v2
- Integrated WebSocket Support
- HTTP Trailers
- Early Responses like "103 Early Hints"
- Happy EyeBalls

The project reached 800+ stars with half a million downloads since the beginning.
We are grateful to Microsoft and involved parties for funding our work through the Microsoft FOSS Fund program.

What My Project Does

Niquests is a HTTP Client. It aims to continue and expand the well established Requests library.
For many years now, Requests has been frozen. Being left in a vegetative state and not evolving,
this blocked millions of developers from using more advanced features.

Target Audience

It is a production ready solution. So everyone is potentially concerned.

Comparison

Niquests is the only HTTP client capable of serving HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 automatically.
The project went deep into the protocols (early responses, trailer headers, etc...) and all related
networking essentials (like DNS-over-HTTPS, advanced performance metering, etc..)

You may find the project at: https://github.com/jawah/niquests

ZMAG (ZeroMQ & GraphQL)

Hi everyone,

# Docs:

[https://hlop3z.github.io/zmag/](https://hlop3z.github.io/zmag/)

# GitHub:

[https://github.com/hlop3z/zmag/](https://github.com/hlop3z/zmag/)

# What My Project Does:

ZMAG is a framework designed for building **network APIs** rather than traditional web applications, leveraging the unique combination of **GraphQL** and **ZeroMQ**. With **ZeroMQ** you can create different system. Examples:

* **Request / Response**
* **Push / Pull**
* **Publish / Subscribe**

# Target Audience:

Currently is a toy project, I’m going to use it to manage projects internally, which I made with Django and FastAPI.

# Comparison:

As far as I know there’s nothing that combines **GraphQL** and **ZeroMQ** into a framework. Something similar I know that exist but not with GraphQL is [https://www.zerorpc.io/](https://www.zerorpc.io/)

Loading private key of a certificate in local windows machine store

To use Microsoft graph API we use a service principal and a certificate. I can retrieve the certificate if it’s in azure key vault and use it to get an MSAL token for authentication. I am unable to do that if the certificate is in local windows machine certificate store.
Has anyone ever did this? I can’t find any working samples on the internet.
Would really appreciate a solution.

How to configure celery?

I am currently running a flask backend server that is used for various features and one of the features I have added is a model for prediction that takes about 5 to 10 minutes to train on hitting an api on frontend which works fine but the api itself timesout after 2 minutes although the model still gets trained and stored for each user. Now issue is to prevent a mad user experience I wanted to train the model in background and came across celery with redis which I was already for storing sessions so thought to use it and everything runs only just when I use @shared_task decorator to run my task it give Error 61 of connection refused although on running the celery command and backend it says celery is connected. Can someone help me here?

Edit - I used rabbitmq as the broker and redis as result backend and everything worked smoothly. Thanks everyone

I make a python library for use as wrapper and transform a pdf in html without lose format

Hello everyone, how are you? I recently created a library wrapper for PDF2HTMLEX for use in Python, this library can transform PDF files to HTML and also convert all PDF files in a folder to HTML semi-automatically.

I would appreciate your feedback by using it, making pull requests or stars if you like:



Repository URL:

I just wanna tell you guys that I did it!

I'm sorry oif this is not the right space but I didn't have someone to share this and would actually understand my happiness.

I was finally able to deploy my Django application on Digital Ocean with Postgres, Nginx, and Gunicorn on its Ubuntu machine. I also pointed my domain to the IP and set up the SSL certification. This took me days and I had to destroy the machine multiple times. Oh I also configured redis and celery with different workers.

I'm so hyped 😂😂

I Made Spotify Premium, But This Time It's Free

A while ago, I shared how I built a Python noscript to download my Spotify Liked Songs as MP3s. Since then, I decided to take the project one step further. Instead of manually running the noscript every time I added new songs, I’ve now automated the entire process to check for new liked songs every day and download them automatically.

Here’s how it works:

- Extracts my Liked Songs from Spotify using the spotipy library.

- Compares them with the list of songs already downloaded to avoid duplicates.

- Uses youtubesearchpython to find the top YouTube result for any new songs.

- Downloads the audio as an MP3 using yt-dlp and stores them in the Songs directory on my desktop.

It’s simple, but it now saves me even more time. I no longer have to worry about manually managing my favorite songs!

This project was so fun to work on, and now I've made it even smarter, by making it run automatically using the Windows built-in Task Scheduler!


I was thinking of making this like a paid tool, with a small cost of $2, but I figured let's share this with people so they can also benefit :)

is there a way to make pyright recognize related name fields?

from django.db import models

class A(models.Model):
id = models.IntegerField()

class B(models.Model):
id = models.IntegerField()
fkA = models.ForeignKey(A, ondelete=models.CASCADE, relatedname="fkB")

a = A(id=1)
b = B(id=2, fkA=a)
a.fkB #Here it says it cannot access attribute fkB for class A

take for example the code snippet above. is there a way to make pyright know that fk\B fields for class A exists?

Do multiple requests create multiple instances of a middleware object?

For example, let's say you have some middleware that does something with process_view(), to run some code before a view is rendered. If you have you Django app deployed with Guincorn and Nginix, does every client request get its own instantiation of that middleware class? Or do they all share the same instantiation of that object in memory wherever your code is deployed? (or does each of Gunicorn's workers create its own instantiation?)

What personal challenges have you solved using Python? Any interesting projects or automations?

Hey everyone! I'm curious—what have you used Python for in your daily life? Are there any small, repetitive tasks you've automated that made things easier or saved you time? I'd love to hear about it!


I stumbled upon an old article on this Python a while ago. I think it's worth revisiting this topic about it again.
