help me deploy my django app i was following CoreyMSchafer's Django series
Hey everyone,
I've been following CoreyMSchafer's Django series and made it halfway through, but now I'm stuck at the deployment module. I'm trying to deploy my app using Linode, but the process seems really complicated. The series is about 5 years old, so I'm wondering if the deployment steps are still relevant. Has anyone else used this tutorial recently, and can you confirm if I can still deploy my app without running into too many issues? I've been stuck on this for days now, and I really want to make this work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

PEP 750 – Tag Strings For Writing Domain-Specific Languages
PEP 750 – Tag Strings For Writing Domain-Specific Languages https://peps.python.org/pep-0750/
# Abstract
This PEP introduces tag strings for custom, repeatable string processing. Tag strings are an extension to f-strings, with a custom function – the “tag” – in place of the f prefix. This function can then provide rich features such as safety checks, lazy evaluation, domain-specific languages (DSLs) for web templating, and more.
Tag strings are similar to JavaScript tagged template literals and related ideas in other languages. The following tag string usage shows how similar it is to an f string, albeit with the ability to process the literal string and embedded values:
name = "World"
greeting = greet"hello {name}"
assert greeting == "Hello WORLD!"
Tag functions accept prepared arguments and return a string:
def greet(args):
"""Tag function to return a greeting with an upper-case recipient."""
salutation, recipient, = args
getvalue, * = recipient
return f"{salutation.title().strip()} {getvalue().upper()}!"

Daily API call at same time
Hello, I've just started learning Django and am working on a project right now utilizing Django as the backend. So I have a little over 300 locations with their coordinates that I'm using to get daily weather data from https://www.weatherapi.com/ , and I was curious how can i automate this so these calls are made daily at 12:01 am to grab the current days forecast? I plan on storing the data in my postgresql database and having the db drop itself to get rid of previous day's forecast and then rebuild with the current days data.

I’m a medical doctor, just began learning Python. My world is changed. Anyone else?
Like seriously. Never knew I had a talent for it.
How beautiful it is to organize data and systematic steps. Now, my whole world is factual data that we take in and spit out. There’s almost zero room for creativity.
But with Python( or programming in general) it’s like an arsenal tool that’s ever-growing and infinitely capable.
Any other non-CS people ever start programming and suddenly fell in love with it?

Calling all Djangonautes: what’s your go-to Front-End pattern?
Hi Djangonautes,
As much as I love Django, I can't help but feel that the front-end situation is a bit messy.
With numerous packages attempting to tackle the pain points of the template engine or implement patterns from other major frameworks, it feels at times like navigating a maze, especially as all these libs and packages might not always play well with other.
I’ve created a table outlining some of the top front-end patterns used in Django. I’m leaving it blank for now to encourage all of you to share your experiences and insights! I will update the table based on the feedback received.
For now, let's discuss!
|Pattern|Description|Depends on|Reasons to avoid|Reasons to adopt|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Plain html|Basic HTML without any additional libraries or frameworks|N/A|Limited interactivity, may not meet modern user expectations|dependency free, simple, will last forever|
|HTMX||htmx|||
|HTMX + Django Components|| django-components|||
|HTMX + Django Components Kit||django-component-kit|||
|HTMX + Django Template partials||django-template-partials|||
|Inertia.js||inertia-django|||
|Reactor||django-reactor|||
|Unicorn||django-unicorn|||
|FE Framework + API||DRF, Ninja, React, Vue, Svelte etc.|||
Discussion Points:
Compatibility Issues: Have you faced any challenges when integrating these patterns with existing Django projects?
Performance Considerations: Which patterns have you found to be the most efficient in terms of performance?
Learning Curve: For those new to Django, which patterns offer the easiest entry point?

Another static site generator in Python?
Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a little project I've been working on called Allround Website Static Site Generator (AW-SSG). The idea behind it is pretty simple: not every project needs the complexity of a full server framework in Python. Sometimes, you just want to keep things straightforward without sacrificing flexibility and power.
What My Project Does
AW-SSG is a tool that lets you generate static websites with the ease of using Jinja2 templates and Tailwind CSS, all powered by Python. It’s perfect for those situations where you need something quick and reliable—like a landing page, a personal portfolio, or a simple "business card" site—but don’t want to dive into the heavy lifting that comes with frameworks like Django or Flask.
Target Audience
If you’re looking to create something simple but effective, without dealing with the overhead of a full-stack framework, AW-SSG could be right up your alley. It’s great for developers who want to maintain the speed and efficiency of static sites while still having the power of Python at their fingertips. Plus, I’m considering adding markdown support in the future, which should make generating websites even easier.
Comparison
So how does AW-SSG stand out from the crowd? While there are plenty of static site generators

Seeking technical cofounder for my retro online multiplayer competitive educational math game I built 4 years ago.
Gameplay footage: https://imgur.com/a/6ais2yv
Lobby (broken): http://web.archive.org/web/20221024015305/https://gameapollius.herokuapp.com/
Yes, it has been called Apollius, flux math, and math Tron. It has a new name, but I'm not making it public so people don't steal the name.
The game is Tron Light cycles, but in order to turn one must solve a math problem. Its online multiplayer. With a matchmaking lobby and everything
I'm looking for an agency (or an exceptional person) with whom to partner, so that we can continue development on it (I've quit coding) and help the product grow.
It will be a hit. The idea for this game is not new. Its a near exact copy of a game that was extremely popular at my elementary school (except my version has a matchmaking lobby). During recess, if we stayed indoors, all the computers would be taken, and they'd all be playing this game
This game helps you get fast at calculating math problems mentally (without pen and paper) The game, even, was called Mental Math.
The game is responsible for my math (and later coding) prowess
I'm looking to publish @ coolmathgames
Stack: heroku, Django, postgresql, jQuery
Yes sorry I'm oldschool, and the code isn't clean, just functional. Apologies in advance haha.
Ideally, I want to host the game at

I created my own Python Framework
I was curious how frameworks like django or flask worked. So after a sleepless night and hacking around here what I created for fun (nothing serious) https://github.com/goyal-aman/SimpleHTTPServe
What my project does?
TBH its a simple framework like flask or django. Importantly I used no third party dependency. What do you think? FYI: this is a fun project. No way for anything serious.
Update:
Its no way close to django or flask as some people rightly pointed out. Its a fun project - not for anything serious.
Update 2: Its a python web-server framework and not framework I guess.

Swaggerspect: JSON schema for python API:s
# What My Project Does
So you are building a website that runs some back-end pipelines that can be configured by the user? You'd like to not hard-code the parameters for the pipelines in the GUI. But how?
Swaggerspect lets you use python type hints and numpydoc docstrings to generate json-schema for your python functions or clases implementing the pipelines. This can then be used by the front end with something like https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor to generate a form that the user can use to set parameters for a pipeline.
Note that swaggerspect does not impose any framework for neither front end nor webserver or pipeline runner. Or even require any of these: it simply generates json-schema from python code!
# Target Audience
Web developers who use python for the backend. Especially people who run more elaborate/expensive pipeline jobs on the behalf of web users.
# Comparison
Django includes ModelForms, so you could make each pipeline be a django model. However, the flexibility of django forms is smaller than that of json-schema, so this would only work for simpler things. Also, any form changes would require a django migration (database change), and keeping multiple versions around would be hard. With swaggerspect, you can have multiple pipeline software versions available,

Public API with DRF best practices
I was wondering what the community is considering good practice when implementing public API in DRF. I do not necessarily ask for REST best practice but rather internal details of development of API in Django, e.g. do you implement your own viewsets or reuse APIView from DRF etc. I am asking to implement those in my organization and revamp old API implemented still for Django 3.

Launching a background process through a Flask server
Hi all,
I have a Flask server that's serving a mobile app. I want to create a process that runs asynchronously - that is, the mobile app won't need to wait for it to finish (it could take a few minutes). I've created such a process (using the asyncio package) but when I tried to integrate it with my Flask application it seems not to work, even though it did work locally. In hindsight, perhaps it's something I should've expected. Any ideas how to create such a process in a way that works with Flask? I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Many thanks

I wanted to create replacement for an old autoclicker called EasyAutoClicker and some others. It is also very simple and effective. Currently only works on windows. [Link to GitHub](https://github.com/Lemon4ksan/SimpleAutoClicker) (Preview Included)
* **What My Project Does**: SimpleAutoClicker allows to automatially create click events. You can change the frequency of clicks, time and mouse positon offset, choose wich button to click with, create hotkey to start clicking and set killswitch for closing the app in case of emergency, set how many times to click and customize appearence.
* **Target Audience**: My project is a small utility and doesn't take a lot of space. Sure everyone will find a good use for it. Simplest case is to play clicker games.
* **Comparison**: Compared to other alternatives, my app is much more modern, very small and simple. I also tried to make my code as readable as I could, so you may learn something from it and use it to create your own ctk based apps. It's also packed into compact .exe file.
