Website To Easily Develop Tkinter GUIs
# What My Project Does
I've been working for a while in this project where you can easily create Tkinter Interfaces.
It's a website where you can just drag and drop widgets in a figma-like interface to customize them. Afterwars, you just gotta click Translate to Code and it will translate your interface to Tkinter Code!
# Target Audience
As a wise man once said DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS! To make your life easier when creating tkinter interfaces!
# Comparison
I used to use a website called VisualTK, but it is down since a while.

Django rest framework
Hey, everyone can you guys just suggest to me the best resource to learn django rest framework(drf) for beginners.
Also, I want to ask that I have the experience of backend development using NodeJS and express but I am confused do I have to learn about normal template based django first and then shift to drf or I can directly start with drf.
I have limited time so I want to learn it faster.

Flask to Quart
Migrated from Flask to Quart using the steps on this page: https://quart.palletsprojects.com/en/latest/how\_to\_guides/flask\_migration.html
Took about 15-20 minutes to get everything back up and running again. I had to use CoPilot to help fix a couple of glitches. Also, changed from gunicorn to uvicorn. Deployed and it seems to work. From what I read there is a 2-5 times performance improvement. I don't have metrics. But it "feels" faster and seems like an easy win. Want to hear what y'all have to say about this.
But question...what limitations and bugaboos have you run into with Quart in moving from Flask? Should I fully commit to Quart?
edit: Since both Flask and Quart are part of pallets project, they are not really "competing" frameworks. I mean, Quart may be where Flask is headed. Am I right?

What ORMs do you use and why?
Hello !
I am building a Flask application and up until now I've only used SQL queries.
But now I am building a larger application (a forum) and I am considering to use an ORM.
The biggest reason for this is to have a layer capable translating all my stuff to any relational DB.
Another thing is maintainability. It feels easier to implement models to be honest.
What ORMs do you use? I heard SQLAchemy is the most popular and the most "used in industry". But people call it off for being hard to use and having poor performance.
I found PonyORM and it looks like a great alternative. I love the syntax and how lightweight it is.
Also PeeWee seems interesting.
What ORMs do you use? And, why is SQLAchemy much more popular? Is it because of the name? What does SQLAchemy have that other ORMs don't have?

D Is the new norm for NLP papers "prompt engineering" papers?
So many papers seem to essentially be "how can we make LLM 1 do this without training?" I haven't published in a while and have been in industry for the past few years. I recently joined a new company in a slightly more research-y position and am working with research scientists and graduate interns. I've noticed that every single one of them is working on something that I would have been reprimanded by my PI for in graduate school. Basically, "how can we make LLMs do this really complicated task without doing any training?" And perhaps somewhat unsurprisingly, in many cases, you can't. I think that's why these days there are so many negative result papers in NLP.
Is this the new norm? It's become a pain to go through the CL section of arXiv. 98% of the papers are something like "how come LLaMA can't understand numbers?"
I'm wondering if I'm just being the senile old man in the corner of the bar or if everyone else feels the same.

Compress JSON: the missing Python utility to read and write compressed JSONs.
**What My Project Does**
I have always found working with compressed JSON files cumbersome, as for the life of me I cannot recall how to use Python's compression utilities. Plus, when you need to handle multiple possible formats, the code gets ugly quickly.
Compress-json abstracts away the complexities of handling different compression formats, allowing you to focus on writing clean and maintainable code.
**Installation**
You can install compress-json quickly using pip:
pip install compress_json
**Examples**
Here's how you can use compress-json to compress and decompress JSON files with minimal effort. Here it uses automatic detection of the compression type:
import compress_json
# Your JSON data
data = {
"A": {
"B": "C"
}
}
# Dumping data to various compressed files
compress_json.dump(data, "data.json.gz") # gzip compression
compress_json.dump(data, "data.json.bz") # bz2 compression
compress_json.dump(data, "data.json.lzma") # lzma compression

Inertia JS equivalent for Django
I found Inertia JS to be a handy tool for using Laravel at the backend and React / Vue at the frontend without the hassle of building API.
Do we have similar solution in Django world ?
The inertia website says that we can use it with Django but it is fine tuned for Laravel.

Best practice for including a ton of error checking in a functional api view?
Hi, I'm doing an integration which involves taking data from service A, parsing it, sending it to service B, then returning a response back to service A. Service A has given a list of error codes that it expects when my server detects specific issues, so I've implemented them, but found that the code I wrote is quite lengthy to read.
I have implemented permission classes for things like this before, like detecting an api key or something, but the problem here is that the error checks vary per endpoint slightly, so I'd be writing at best a permission class per endpoint. I suppose I could try to create a permission class which checks for any similar errors, but it would still not solve the issue of having a bunch of error checking sprinkled into the views. Creating a separate file that contains functions that check for the errors is possible, but I just want to get a sense of best practice here. There are 5 endpoints, and each have similar if/else blocks for error checking per service A's requirements.
Here is an example of the if/else block for the error checks that service A wants, any suggestions on refactoring

How should I handle errors, aborts, logging and audits in my endpoint?
I have a login endpoint (api/auth.py) that receives the request, and uses an auth service (services/auth_service.py). Btw I'm using Flask for backend React for frontend.
I was handling things like this, for a clean endpoint, and letting auth_service to do the logic:
auth.py
@authbp.route("/login", methods=["POST"])
def login():
data = data.getjson()
response, status = AuthService.login(data)
return jsonify(response), status
authservice.py
class AuthService:
@staticmethod
def login(data):
email = data.get("email")
password = data.get("password")
if !validatecredentials(email, password):
abort(401, description="Email or password incorrect")
# Token creation here
return {"success": True, "accesstoken": accesstoken}, 200
So basically, anything other than a successful login triggers an abort. I had no problem with this,

A script to batch convert media with ffmpeg
# What My Project Does
This is a Python script that batch-processes videos using ffmpeg. The script evaluates the list of input files and directories provided and converts all files to the specified output directory. The conversion is done with ffmpeg using the command line argument from one of the available presets.
It also provides a nice formatted output to the console with colors and progress bars.
# Target Audience
Myself and any other that has a bunch of media to transcode
# Comparison
Better than a batch file, there are colored progress bars to stare at for hours while the media is converted.

socket POC where tasks are triggered by the client and responses are sent as pickled Python objects.
I made a POC of a socket client-server communication
what my project does?
it allows communication between client-server,
client gets to trigger tasks in the server and receive task response as an unpickled python object
target audience?
just for fun or for people to read as reference
comparison?
well its just a minified version of the FastAPI -> Redis -> Celery flow
workflow ?
* Client connects to the socket server.
* Server accepts the client connection and handles the connection in a separate thread.
* Client creates a payload using `._create_payload(b"EVENT", body)` and sends it using `.send_event(tag, args, kwargs)`.
* Server always attempts to read 13 bytes (value from :`struct.calcsize("!5sQ")`).
* The first 5 bytes represent the event scope, which is either `EVENT` or `RESLT`.
* The following 8 bytes represent an unsigned integer indicating the body's length.
* Server determines the event controller by tag.
* Server Pickles the controller response and creates a payload using `._create_payload(b"RESLT", body)`.
* Meanwhile, the client blocks execution until 13 bytes are received.
* Client determines the body length n, attempts to receive n bytes (body), and unpickles it.
* `.send_event(tag, args, kwargs)` returns the unpickled result.

Django with ESP32
I am trying to connect my iot project with django development server as I have not deployed my system as if yet. The main problem lies in the server connection, I have to run all port server i.e. 000.0.0:8000 inorder to run my laptops ip server with my sensors url to post data via ESP32. Due to this setup it fails to connect with the server and does not post data untill it wishes to do so and with this my logic for the code gets messed up. I have done all experiments with the settings of cors & firewall. Once I am able to post data I can store the info easily, is there any alternative or correct path that I should follow to sort this out

dir-assistant: Chat with your current directory's files using a local or API LLM.
# What my Project Does
Dir-assistant is a CLI LLM runner that chooses the best info from your current directory (recursively) to include with your prompt. It is designed to improve programmer efficiency by speeding research and automatically writing code. It has been tested on a repository with 900k lines of code, and it produced useful contextually aware code.
Demo gif (images are not allowed in r/Python)
Setup is quick:
pip install dir-assistant
dir-assistant models download-embed
dir-assistant models download-llm
cd directory/to/chat/with
dir-assistant
It works with almost all local and API LLMs.
Yesterday I released the first major release, 1.0.0, which added pip install support and many quality of life improvements. I am aiming to support more operating systems, so if you would like to help by testing, please submit a github issue with your results. Other contributions including PRs are welcome as well.
# Target Audience
Coders who want to improve productivity
# Comparison
Other LLM runners are not aware of your files, perform badly, or are designed for small snippets. Dir-assistant is the best solution currently available for large projects.

making a api endpoint start a routine that fetches from external API
Hello everyone,
So I'm trying to make this thing where when this api point is called i fetch data from another external API to save.
I think the process must be somehow asincronous, in the way that when I call it I shouldn't wait for the whole thing to process and have it "running in the background" (I plan even to give a get call so that I can see the progress of a given routine).
How can I achieve this?
