Tips for Command Line Project

Hello! I'm making a short project to have a little experience creating a command line tool, as well as getting a project onto PyPI. Mainly, I'm doing this because I think it's cool, and it would be awesome if a friend could pip3 install my project and just have a CLI tool off the install, similar to how the `qrcode` Python library comes with the `qr` CLI tool when installed. If you have any tips **AT ALL** for anything you see, like project organization, overall Python usage, or too many commits (is that possible), please tell me, I'm a sponge for info!

I'm still making the GUI portion, but the actual command line part should be done!

Off a google search, I understand there is already a PyPI project [Jonathan Löfgren\](https://github.com/jonathanlofgren/running/blob/master/.gitignore) made some time ago for converting paces into different distance paces. The purpose of my project here is to get a little experience creating a CLI tool I could use along with the overall process of getting something onto PyPI that works. If what I'm doing is majorly wrong, however, please tell me, I don't know!

Censor words in audio using python

Hi! I'm 18 and recently started building Python projects to upgrade my portfolio. I have this little idea about censorship slurs (or any word) without editing the audio manually word by word. I'm really glad with the result, but I fell in love with the project so I will keep improving it.

# What My Project Does

Censorship-py is a Python library that allows you to censor specific words in an audio file based on a given list of words, replacing the given words with a Beep sound.

# Target Audience

Content creators, video editors, media

# Comparison

I didn't find many projects very similar to mine, but I leave this one here PyAudioCensor.

Let me know some ideas or what you think about my project!

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.

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 noscript",
"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.

Comparison

Compared alternatives it’s easier to use, uses less tokens and works faster.

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?

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-For $httpxforwardedfor;
proxysetheader X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxyignoreclientabort on;
proxynocache 1;
proxycachebypass 1;

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 denoscriptions 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).

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.

Try the drawing tool:

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

I made my computer go "Cha Ching!" every time my website makes money

**What My Project Does**

This is a really simple noscript, 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 noscript "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 noscript.

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?

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

REPO: **https://github.com/muaaz-ur-habibi/fthedocs**


Do note: This was a fun project I built as a way to learn RAG, and to suite my specific needs. As a result, it might not be suited for you, though I tried my best to make it as customizable as possible.

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 javanoscript or nodeJs. So far I'm comfortable with the javanoscript 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?

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!
