Creating a multiplayer quiz game. Cant figure out how to create a lobby.

I'm trying to make backend for an online multiplayer quiz game. front end will be done according to the finished backend by someone else. premise is simple, users log in. they initiate the game, the game will show them both questions and a timer (calculated at front end), at the end someone will win and game will end. Game logic is simple, user creation and log in process is also simple. but I am having hard time on starting on how the matchmaking/lobby and match start process will work. any insights?

Location of npm in my windows 11

I have been installing django-tailwind and when I was done. I somehow could run the

python `manage.py` tailwind install command because of the error below

CommandError:

It looks like node.js and/or npm is not installed or cannot be found.



Visit `https://nodejs.org` to download and install node.js for your system.



If you have npm installed and still getting this error message, set NPM_BIN_PATH variable in `settings.py` to match path of NPM executable in your system.



Example:

NPM_BIN_PATH = "/usr/local/bin/npm"


I am not sure how to solve this because I cannot find an npm.exe file anywhere

Flet vs Streamlit PWA and conceptual questions

I'm new to flet, but I'm experienced Flutter developer plus I'm a Generative AI Engineer and worked with streamlit or Gradio. I have some conceptual questions.
Q1. If flet uses Flutter, then why does the flet Flutter plugin require a URL? Why cannot the flet UI "live" all together in Flutter?
Q2. Since there's a URL needed anyway, what's the advantage of using it vs for example having a Streamlit UI displayed in a PWA?
Q3. Let's say I develop a personal assistant in flet. Can the assistant access my location, heart rate, my camera (for multi-modal Gen AI), microphone and speakers (for voice assistant functionalities)?

Anyone Using Temporal?

I recently learned about temporal.io through a tech talk. Does anyone in the Django community use this as an alternative to something like Celery? It sounds too good to be true.

Django-Q2 in Azure Web App

I'm trying to migrate an overgrown POC app from an ex-colleague's desktop to the cloud. It's urgent, so I had to just figure out a plan of action quickly and run with it.

The app is a Django application with management dashboard, along with a whole range of tasks that need to be run at specific times throughout the day.

My colleague used to just run the server on his machine and have some Cron jobs configured for the tasks.

I've turned the Cron jobs into Django-Q2 schedules, which seem to run fine locally.

I've made 2 Azure Web Apps, one that starts up the Django application and hosts the dashboard with the "runserver" command in the startup noscript,which runs fine.

The other should be responsible for running the jobs, so it sets up the schedules in the startup noscript and then runs the "qcluster" command.

This last app keeps restarting, with message "Site startup probe failed after X seconds" and the jobs are not being executed (correctly). I assume this is because this app does not host a web server that can be probed by Azure, but I'm not sure.

2 questions:
* How can I quickly work fix / work around this issue so the app

Python .gitignore

I'm sure a lot of you have done this:

1. Start new project
2. Need that generic Python .gitignore file on GitHub
3. Google "python gitignore" (though you probably typed "gitingore")
4. Click link and click raw
5. Copy all and paste in your local .gitignore

And I'm sure a lot of you probably just use curl and have it memorized or have it in your shell history or something (fzf ftw). But I can't be bothered to learn curl properly, and I got tired of the manual steps, so I just created a function in my .zshrc file:

function pgi {
curl -JL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gitignore/refs/heads/main/Python.gitignore -o .gitignore
}

So now I can just run pgi whenever I start a new project, and boom, precious seconds of my life saved.

That's it, that's all I have, thanks for reading. I'm sure some of you have ever better solutions, but that's mine.

For those that pay under $50 total in infra costs, what is your app doing?

I’ve seen a lot of people post about how they pay less than $50 in total costs so I’ve had a few questions for you.

What is the purpose of your app?
How much traffic does it see?
What kind of functionality does it support?
What are you using for your DB?
How’s the performance?
What’s the server config?

I built PdfDing using Django

Hi,

over the past six months I have built PdfDing using Django. It is a selfhosted PDF manager and viewer offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. You can it on GitHub. Some of its features include:

Remembers current position - continue where you stopped reading on any device
Share PDFs with an external audience via a link or a QR Code. Shared PDFs can be access controlled
Dark Mode, colored themes and custom theme colors
Inverted color mode for reading PDFs
SSO support via OIDC

PdfDing was my first real web app projects and my first using Django. The start was a bit rough, but afterwars it has been a blaze :). Feature development is fast and a lot of information is available online.

Other than Django the techstack includes:

the frondend is build using Alpine.js, htmx, jQuery and Tailwind CSS
authentication, registration, account management and OIDC is achieved by django-allauth
Mozilla's PDF.js is used for viewing PDF files in the browser

If you like PdfDing I would be really happy over a star. As the project is open source, if anyone is willing to contribute you are welcome!

ARM Native Python execution time higher than x64 Python?

I am running below python code X Elite Surface Laptop 7. With python x64 and arm64 (3.11.8)
I get below execution speeds:

x64: 28.32 seconds
arm64: 33.34 seconds

I have run it multiple times, I get similar values. I was expecting native python to run much faster than emulated python.
What am I missing? Also please point to different sub if needed.

pi = 0
for i in range(iterations):
pi += 4 * (-1)**i / (2 * i + 1)

How OAuth and normall user signup/login will work together

I know it's naive but I can't grasp the whole process of it.

I am creating a app (Django, React, Postgres) and I have normall Login/Signup via my own RESTful endpoints and I also want to give my users the option to signup with Fb/google etc.

For my own RESTful views I'm using Toke authentication but I am not sure how the OAuth Access token will work with that
Do I need to create a authentication token after successful authorization from Resource server ??

I hope It's not a bad question
Thanks

Deply 0.5.1 Released: New Collectors, 10x Performance Boost, and Stronger Architectural Rules

Hello everyone,

It's Archil again, checking in from Wrocław, Poland. I'm excited to announce the release of Deply 0.5.1, an updated version of my Python tool for enforcing architectural patterns and dependencies in larger codebases. I've noticed steady downloads since the previous post, and I'm genuinely grateful to everyone who has tried Deply or provided feedback.

# What My Project Does

For those new here here is my previous post, Deply analyzes your code structure and verifies that your Python project adheres to a defined architecture. You specify layers, set rules, and Deply enforces them—helping maintain clean, modular, and maintainable code as your project grows.

# Target Audience

Ideal for developers and teams building medium to large Python applications who need to maintain clear, enforceable architectural boundaries. It also suits those aiming to teach or learn best practices.

# Comparison to Other Tools

• pydeps:

Focus: Visualization of dependencies

Comparison: pydeps provides a visual map of imports, helping you understand how parts of your code relate. Deply goes further by actively enforcing rules on these dependencies, ensuring that your project structure adheres to architectural guidelines instead of merely displaying it.

• import-linter:

Focus: Import-based dependency constraints

Comparison: import-linter is excellent for managing import hierarchies and preventing forbidden dependencies. Deply builds on this
