ididi, now with version 1.0.4, supports infinite number of nested scopes!

Hello my peer pythonistas!

9 days ago, I posted my dependency injection lib here

https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1gn5erp/ididi\_dependency\_injection\_in\_a\_single\_line\_of

In 9 days, ididi has iterated 13 versions, and reached the milestone of 1.0.0(1.0.4 now actually).

https://github.com/raceychan/ididi

I am bringing back ididi to you with a powerful new feature and a nice new documentation.

https://raceychan.github.io/ididi/features/#using-scope-to-manage-resources

A scope is a context that manage the lifespan of resources, a classic usecase would be creating a different database session/connection for each request user send to your endpoint, this separate data access among users.

Unlike most alternatives that either does not support scope, or support finite number of pre-defined scopes,

Ididi now supports infinite number of nested scopes

let's take a glance at the usage here.

async with dg.scope(appname) as appscope:
async with dg.scope(router) as routerscope:
async with dg.scope(endpoint) as endpointscope:
async with dg.scope(userid) as userscope:
async with dg.scope(requestid) as requestscope:

for a basic usage

ansiplot: Pretty (and legible) small console plots.

What My Project Does

Hi all! While developing something different I realized that it would be nice to have a way of plotting multiple curves in the console to get comparative insights (which of those curves is better or worse at certain regions). I am thinking of a 40x10 to 60x20 canvas and maybe 10+ curves that will probably be overlapping a lot.

I couldn't find something to match the exact use case, so I made yet another console plotter:

https://github.com/maniospas/ansiplot

Target Audience

This is mostly a toy project in the sense that it covers the functionalities I am interested in and was made pretty quickly (in an evening). That said, I am creating it for my own production and will be polishing it as needed, so all feedback is welcome.

Comparison

My previous options were previously [asciichart\](https://github.com/kroitor/asciichart), [drawilleplot\](https://github.com/gooofy/drawilleplot) and [asciiplot\](https://github.com/w2sv/asciiplot). I think ansiplot looks less "clean" because it is restricted to using one symbol per curve, creates thicker lines, and does not show axis tics other than the values for mins and maxs (of course, one can add bars to mark precise points).

The first two shortcomings are conscious design decision in service of two features I consider very important:
\- The plots look pretty with

I Understand Machine Learning Models Better by Combining Python Libraries

Hi folks,


I’m currently super interested in neural networks, and I bet many of you are too. PyTorch is the hottest Python library for Machine Learning right now. For anyone starting out, PyTorch can be hard to understand. That’s why I combined PyTorch with Manim (3b1b) to:

1. Train a neural network (PyTorch), and
2. Visualize the model architecture (Manim).

I think the combination of these two Python libraries makes it relatively easy to get started with ML. https://youtu.be/zLEt5oz5Mr8?si=cY-Riirhdi66Zqfy

Have you worked with PyTorch and Manim before? I find Manim particularly challenging, as it often feels like a work in progress.

Safe to delete all migration files, run makemigrations and apply the new migration?

Have a repo with 3+ years of migrations and wanted to clean them up. Have read a bit on the squashmigrations-noscript but shouldn't I just be able to delete all the migration files, create a new migration containing all the changes and then run migrate, applying that one?

We don't have any custom migrations that need to be ran.

What AI APIs and toolkits do you use these days to develop a SaaS or any AI-empowered webapp ?

Recursion stuff

So I have a model Task. Each Task can have a subtask and each subtask can have further subtasks. When I display my DetailView, I want to render a Task with a list of its subtasks that are each linked to their own DetailView page. The above all works fine. The problem is when I go to the subtasks detail page, I don't see a list of its subtasks. For example, if I have Big Task (Task), Little Task (Subtask), and Puny Task (Subtask of subtask), when I go to Big Tasks' detail view I see Little Task but when I go to Little Task's detail view I don't see Puny Task (but I do see other information like noscript and denoscription).



The Task model looks like:

class Task(models.Model):
noscript = models.CharField(max_length=255)
denoscription = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
completed = models.BooleanField(default=False)
due_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)

parent_task = models.ForeignKey(

For those of you that purchase templates online, is there a better way to edit the files to run it in flask?

I purchased a Bootstrap template online today and started to hack away at it to make it work with a website I am building with Flask. This involves rearranging files, folders and more annoyingly, going through all the links in the HTML that refer to images, css, js, and other HTML pages in the project and editing them with the {{ url_for('static', filename='...'}} code Jinja expects.

Is there a better way to do this or is this just one of those annoying initial setup things that I need to do manually?

difficulty with flask-login

I'm a beginner in Flask, and I think I didn't find this information in the documentation, or I may not have understood/read it correctly.

But, I'm having the following problem:

I can log my user into my application, everything works perfectly, but if I type the /login page again, it is accessed, even though the user is already authenticated. Is there a way that when the user is already logged in, the login page is not accessed and redirects to the home page, for example?

I would be very grateful to anyone who can help.

Basic Components: Server-Side UI Components for Python Web Apps (Feedback Appreciated)

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on called Basic Components, which ports shadcn/ui component to the Python/Jinja.

# What My Project Does

Basic Components is a collection of reusable, server-side UI components built with JinjaX, htmx, and Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS. It's a port of shadcn/ui to Python/Jinja. It allows you to build dynamic, responsive web applications using Python web frameworks like FastAPI, Django, and Flask.

Key Features:

Copy/Paste Components: No package to install; simply copy the components you need into your project.
Full Customization: Complete control over the components to modify and extend as needed.
Tailwind CSS Styling: Styled using Tailwind CSS utility classes for consistent and rapid UI development.
Accessibility-First Design: Components are built with accessibility in mind, based on shadcn/ui.
Dark Mode Support: Built-in theming with light and dark modes.
Markup Compatibility: The component markup is the same as in shadcn/ui, making it easy to adapt and integrate.

# Target Audience

This project is intended for Python web developers who prefer a server-first architecture and want to build modern, interactive web applications without relying heavily on client-side JavaScript frameworks.

# Comparison to Existing Alternatives

While there are many frontend component libraries available for JavaScript frameworks like React or Vue,

If you use uv, what are your use cases for uvx?

I really love uv as my new All-In-One tool for python project management.
I also really like the uv tool functionality for tools I regularly use like Harlequin or my kanban/tasks apps kanban-python and more lately the less minimal kanban-tui.

But I it never really clicked for me when I would use uvx which basically installs a tool temporary and after usage removes it again (though still cached, so future uses go faster).

Currently I am on my way to release v0.4.0 of kanban-tui with multi board support and board-individual columns. I develop those features in a new branch and just discovered that you can use something like:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/Zaloog/kanban-tui@lg/independent-board-columns ktui demo

to install the current development status from a custom branch (or even commit)
within seconds. A great way to quickly share the current progress of your work with friends or use your tool on your system already without creating a new release yet.

I am curious to hear, what are your use cases for uvx, and what are your favourite tools to use with it?

I'm pretty lost on how to setup a full app from scratch.

I work at a software house, Im a junior developer (5months of experience). My first project had 2 seniors and plus 2 juniors besides me, I did all kind of tasks most of it creating views to do CRUD on django. My perfomance overall was pretty good, and when things got reallly ugly the senior always came in to solve it (for example we had a lot lot lot of problems with migrations, ppl running migrations on productions instead of local DB and etc.)

Given this context, whats happening now: I'm working at another project for this company, its a project from scratch and whats getting me desperate its I'm the only developer on the project. The PO of the project always says that his got react skills and always can help me on frontend ( I wont even speak how useless this help is, and every time he tries to help we got a new lib installed on the project that I have to study, so this is happening even tho in the start I tried to convice to use vanila JS since its a simple project but nah, we using react with a list of 10+ libs and
