PyQt best option for commercial use?

I'm looking to possibly develop an app that will run on a Linux Desktop, specifically Ubuntu, and the latest OS X. The UI and performance are very important. Is PyQt my best option?

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.

Django SQL Lite DB Built-in Size !?

I want to create a django app but for now i use a noscript on my PC the fetch some data and all the final results are stored into a json that can reach size of 600 to 700 MBs.... Can the DB store this size ? I have a hosting provider where to put the app on and unfortunate, my current plan doesn't have access to bigger DBs, only some that can store up to 350 MBs...

filefrag - library and executable to explore file fragmentation

Spent last night making this, added some turd polish today and added it to pypi.

## 🤷 why/what?

I wanted to get file fragmentation info so I can punch holes in files, aligned with memory pages. But I really didn't want to parse filefrag's outputs, so I wrote a python version with a friendly API and a command line that can produce json.

It only works on Linux as it depends on the FIE interface, but pull requests welcome etc.

## ⚒️ how?

See the video for a demo including installing from source, but you can install with pip:

pip install filefrag

Then you can run pyfilefrag, see --help for details. It has --verbose, and --json outputs for your parsing pleasure.

To use the library, just call filefrag.FileMap('/path/whatever') to build a map of the extents in the file using ioctl's interface. Then you can poke about in the guts of a file:

⛓️‍💥 inspect fragmentation
🔍 find out where data is on your physical drive
🟰 compare extents between paths
📔 use them as dict keys
🕳️ check files for holes, like before and after hole punching
✅verify your XFS deduplication strategy, write your own stats tool
💩 dump file layouts to json (`print(f"{filemap:j}"`)
⚠️ break your disk

FriendlyDateParser, just another Python module for date parsing!

Hello!

I've just released **FriendlyDateParser**, just another Python module for date parsing.


## What My Project Does

It can parse complex date expressions like:

* `2 days before the last day of next month`
* `1h15m after next Sunday at midnight CEST`
* `the second Monday of 2012`

The goal is to make working with date references straightforward, even when the expressions are complex.


## Target Audience

At this point, the module is still young and bugs should be expected. There may still be some edge cases which are not handled correctly.


## Comparison

Well, actually the reason for writing this module is that I had been using [**dateparser**](https://dateparser.readthedocs.io/) (*the* mature module with a similar purpose) for a while, but I found it was not able to handle all the cases I needed. So, I created **FriendlyDateParser** to address those gaps.

On the other hand, `dateparser` is multilingual while `friendlydateparser` only support English expressions (and I don't plan to extend the module in that way).

## Links

Check out the documentation and repo [here](https://github.com/salva/py-friendlydateparser)!

The module is also available from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/friendlydateparser/)



I'd love to hear your feedback and see how it works for you!

Creating simple inventory management app

Hi all, I'm trying to learn about Flask and decided to create a simple inventory management app which allows me to add, remove and edit entries in sqlite db using frontend. I was able to make the python app work but I'm stuck on the frontend part. I have the html file in "templates" folder and the the js noscript in the "static" folder, but when I try to run it, I end up with this error: "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (NOT FOUND)". Can someone help me out on what I'm missing?

Real-time YouTube Comment Sentiment Analysis with Kafka, Spark, Docker, and Streamlit

Hey r/Python! 👋

# What My Project Does:

This project performs real-time sentiment analysis on YouTube comments using a stack of Kafka, Spark, Docker, and Streamlit. It classifies comments into positive, neutral, or negative sentiments and displays the results in a web interface for easy visualization and interpretation. The aim is to provide insights on how users are reacting to YouTube videos in real-time, which can be especially useful for content creators, marketers, or analysts who want to track audience reception.

# Target Audience:

This project is primarily a learning-focused, proof-of-concept to demonstrate the power of real-time big data analytics with modern tools. While it could potentially be expanded into a production-ready system, it’s currently a toy project meant for educational purposes and exploring various technologies. Developers looking to explore Kafka, Spark, and Streamlit in a Dockerized environment will find this project helpful.

# Comparison:

What sets this project apart from existing alternatives is its real-time processing capability combined with the use of big data tools. Most sentiment analysis projects process data in batch mode or on a smaller scale, while this project uses Kafka for real-time streaming and Spark for distributed processing. It’s also containerized with Docker, which makes it easy to deploy and scale.

Symlink in static dir to serve files

I understand that only images within the static dir can be displayed directly for security purposes.
Does creating a symlink within static, pointing to another folder, pose a security risk? How would someone go about exploiting this to access other data on the server?

Feel like an ostracized freak for using Django as a monolithic websocket backend

Never did web-development before this and wanted to create the simplest possible websocket web app in python with a database.
I have Django serving my react.js frontend and handling the async websockets through channels. I don't use redis, celery, or microservices.
My backend code is async, so using one server process for multiple users works perfectly without scaling issues. I don't need a distributed task queue system since my async code is basically just waiting for IO. When I have something CPU intensive like gunzipping I just use a ProcessPoolExecutor to not block the event loop.

There's basically no documentation on how to set up the app the way I did and it's basically just been me hacking and experimenting with what works. I feel like I've been using django the wrong way since day one since every guide is either simple synchronous forum website, or straight to redis/celery/rabbitmq/kubernetes/gunicorn. There's no common ground.

Getting started with DRF for my VueJS frontend

Hello, so I posted something similar to this issue a week ago or less. But I'm trying to connect my Django project to my VueJS frontend pages that I created using DRF.


To my understanding I have to create API with DRF, so I was following the DRF docs tutorial and followed everything it said for coding the views, serializers, etc.... But then I ran `python manage.py runserver` and this caused all kinds of errors.

So I decided it was for the best to clone my project from my remote repo on Github and start all over with DRF. Now that I'm back to square one, my question is, what approach should I do to get started with DRF to create API end points for my frontend and backend? I want to try again with the DRF docs, but I don't want to fuck up my project again with an endless cycle of errors.


I'm beginning to think that I should just create a new app within my project, maybe that's what threw the errors I was getting before. What do you guys think? Here is the link to my Github repo, the project name is MyProject https://github.com/remoteconn-7891/MyProject.
