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.


Thanks

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 wonder if there are many more tips which could enhance the way I write python?

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!

Meta Python 3.13 is not compatible with asyncpg (fastest async library to access PostgreSQL)

Just a heads up. I was going to upgrade my projects today, but asyncpg won't install. I tried both docker (all slims and general one) and local (mac, though) – no difference.


UPD:

This is a known issue by asyncpg developer. I hope they roll out an update soon.

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.

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.

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)]

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

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.

I migrated from digital ocean to hetzner - (good experience)

I am building a streaming platform for my wife.

I tried to find the best option over all the cloud providers. At first I decided to use Digital Ocean because of their user friendly docs and UI. Also finding terraform docs was very easy. To be honest setting up the project was very easy so I can say I am satisfied with that.

However the outbound limit of 4TB, was a deal breaker for me. At the beginning I was thinking the limitting the video quality at 720P, however my wife wanted to have 1080P.

I started my search and find out that, hetzner was not only offering the cheap hardware but also the traffic limits were way better. To compare the numbers:

digital ocean: 24$
- 80gb ssd,
- 4gb ram
- 2Vcpu
- 4TB outbound

hetzner: 16€
- 160gb ssd
- 8gb ram
- 4Vcpu
- 20TB outbound.


So I decided to deploy my project on their servers. My concern was not finding good terraform docs for that, but tbh it was very easy and straight forward. In less then 3 hours I was able to run my

Lost my sqlite database😱. After that I wrote a backup noscript that runs once a day

This is just a warning to all you guys, remember to backup your database cause shit happens. Now I rest easy cause I wrote a backup noscript that runs automatically once a day just to backup my db, I know its going to fill up my space very soon and raise my costs but I do think its worth it, by the way the project I lost the db for was still a new project so there was not a lot of records in there anyway so not all hope is lost
