Any sites that I can used to make API requests for the positions of planets in the solar system

I am creating a program that calculates orbital mechanics. And one option I want is the ability to use as a starting point the current positions of the Solar System. So if would like to find a site that can I use to easily make API request for the positions (whether relative to the sun or earth), velocities, mass and radii of the planets in the solar system

django-allauth move from GitHub to Codeberg a Year Ago Looking Smarter Every Day

tl;dr: django-allauth’s move from GitHub to Codeberg a year ago got a lot of doubt at first, but it is looking wiser by the day now with GitHub’s new fees for private repo runners coming in 2026. This shows Microsoft’s push to monetize more, which hurts trust in their freemium setup, and makes devs less likely to suggest it for work. What alternatives do you use for home and work?

A year ago, django-allauth moved from Microsoft GitHub to Codeberg, drawing skepticism over visibility, contributions, and security. But with GitHub’s new $0.002/minute charge for self-hosted runners in private repos starting March 2026 (sparking complaints about Microsoft’s profit focus), it is more evidence the move was smart. They dodged a platform that is increasingly monetizing features.

Many companies keep open source free to hook users into paid private or commercial tiers. Tailscale (I’m a big fan) does this well with affordable home plans that encourage enterprise adoption as they explain in this blog post, which is a positive approach. But when companies like Micro$oft make these changes and erode trust, they negate the model they originally adopted. People start to recognize the slow boil and eventually jump out of the pot, hurting the

Released datasetiq: Python client for millions of economic datasets – pandas-ready

Hey r/Python!

I'm excited to share datasetiq v0.1.2 – a lightweight Python library that makes fetching and analyzing global macro data super simple.

It pulls from trusted sources like FRED, IMF, World Bank, OECD, BLS, and more, delivering data as clean pandas DataFrames with built-in caching, async support, and easy configuration.

\### What My Project Does

datasetiq is a lightweight Python library that lets you fetch and work millions of global economic time series from trusted sources like FRED, IMF, World Bank, OECD, BLS, US Census, and more. It returns clean pandas DataFrames instantly, with built-in caching, async support, and simple configuration—perfect for macro analysis, econometrics, or quick prototyping in Jupyter.

Python is central here: the library is built on pandas for seamless data handling, async for efficient batch requests, and integrates with plotting tools like matplotlib/seaborn.

\### Target Audience

Primarily aimed at economists, data analysts, researchers, macro hedge funds, central banks, and anyone doing data-driven macro work. It's production-ready (with caching and error handling) but also great for hobbyists or students exploring economic datasets. Free tier available for personal use.

\### Comparison

Unlike general API wrappers (e.g., fredapi or pandas-datareader), datasetiq unifies multiple sources (FRED + IMF + World Bank + 9+ others) under one simple interface, adds

Rust and OCaml-style exhaustive error and None handling for Python

I had this Idea for over 3 years already. One time my manager called me at 3 AM on Friday and he was furious, the app I was working on crashed in production because of an unhandled error, while he was demoing it to a huge prospect. The app was using a document parsing lib that had infinite amount of edge cases (documents are messy, you can't even imagine how messy they can be). Now I finally implemented this idea. It's called Pyrethrin.

* **What My Project Does** \- It's a library that lets you create functions that explicitly define what exceptions it can raise or that it can return a None, and the other function using this one has to exhaustively implement all the cases, if any handle is missing or not handled at all, Pyrethrin will throw an error at "compile" time (on the first run in case of Python).
* **Target Audience** \- the tool is primarily designed for production use, especially in large Python teams. Other target audience is Python library developers, they can "shield" their library for their users to gain their trust (it will fail on their end way less than without Pyrethrin)
* **Comparison** \- I

Question for small prod app monitoring

How do you keep tabs on things like: OS updates / security patches, dependency or framework security issues, or just general time to upgrade Django or Python, or App health beyond “it’s up”.

I’d love a weekly email digest that gives me a list of these things and the ‘risk’ of not doing it.

Hosting options for MVP

Hi, I'm building a SaaS MVP that is completely bootstrapped. All I've used at work last 10 years is AWS and GCP. I don't think that suits me well at this stage. If the product actually takes off, I'd probably have to move it to AWS/GCP eventually. What are my hosting options today? I need Postgresql to run the app so hosted option would be nice but I guess I could run it as well on my own. Need this to be cheap and reliable. Scale is not an issue at the moment. Ideas?

Django 6.0 Feature Friday: Template Partials!

It's Feature Friday again. This time featuring Template partials!

New in Django 6.0, this extension to Django's template language makes it easy to reuse fragments in templates: Great for cutting down the overhead of creating files for small pieces of isolated logic!

First, defining partials:

The new {% partialdef %} tag lets you do this. You give your template a unique name, and then anything you put inside will be the contents of the template.

{% partialdef user-info %}
<div id="user-info-{{ user.username }}">
<h3>{{ user.name }}</h3>
<p>{{ user.bio }}</p>
</div>
{% endpartialdef %}

Next up, rendering:

This can be done with the {% partial %} tag. Give it the name of a partial template and the contents of that template will be rendered at that location in the template. This works exactly like {% include %} would on a template file.

{% block content %}

Accelerating Tree-Based Models in SQL with Orbital

I recently worked on improving the performance of tree-based models compiled to pure SQL in Orbital, an open-source tool that converts Scikit-Learn pipelines into executable SQL.

In the latest release (0.3), we changed how decision trees are translated, reducing generated SQL size by \~7x (from \~2M to \~300k characters) and getting up to \~300% speedups in real database workloads.

This blog post goes into the technical details of what changed and why it matters if you care about running ML inference directly inside databases without shipping models or Python runtimes.

Switching themes on the fly in Flask-Admin

This might be more of a general Python question, but: in Flask-Admin, according to the Introduction to Flask-Admin docs, you can use different themes by initializing the app with:


admin = Admin(app, name='microblog', theme=Bootstrap4Theme(swatch='cerulean'))

This isn't really documented; the entire docs for "theme" just say "theme – Base theme. Defaults to Bootstrap4Theme().", with nothing about what other themes might exist, how to find and install them, etc.

Regardless, the main question is: Is there an easy way to switch themes on the fly, e.g. on a per-user basis? "Click here for dark mode", or letting users configure it in a personalization step, that kind of thing? Or can this only be done for the entire app at the initialization stage?
