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)]


class Winner(models.Model):

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.

Target Audience

Anyone who is actively developing on GitHub

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

My first full stack app

https://redd.it/1g6uq6p
@pythondaily

stick or move to another

So i made an inventory management system in Django for my internship project.

i chose Django for several reasons:
- i wanted to learn python and discover how to do weB apps with it
- i wanted to be unique because all of my colleagues used PHP (Laravel)
- Django has pretty much everything compared to Flask
- ...

Django is the first backend web framework i ever tried.

About the experience..., it was not that good i don't why.
Is it bc the result code IT WAS LITERALLY A MESS

i could not fix bugs or add features without breaking something
and then rollback to the previous version.

and sometimes i wanted to something simple but Django make it hard
like custom forms and how to integrate Django with CSS frameworks make it
an absolute MESS.

what i am missing in my knowledge to have a great experience with Django?

do i miss something in Django or in web/dev itself?

did you have some issues too with Django at your early days learning it?

should i move to something else like Laravel or Spring (ik some Java and PHP)
or just stick with Django?

bc i feel like it is not for me.

project repo

i hope i explained the problem.
thank you in advance.
