Tips on structuring modern python apps (e.g. a web api) that uses types, typeddict, pydantic, etc?
I worked a lot on python web/api apps like 10-15 years ago but have mostly used other languages since then. Now I'm back to building a python app, using all the latest tools like type hinting, FastAPI, and Pydantic which I'm really enjoying overall.
I feel like code organization is more of a headache than it used to be, though, and I need better patterns than just MVC to keep things organized. E.g. a simple example - if I define a pydantic class for my request body in a controller file and then pass it as an argument to a method on my model, there's automatically a circular import (the model needs to define the type it takes as its argument, and the controller needs to import the model).
I know you can use "if TYPE_CHECKING" but that seems messy and it means you can't use the type at runtime to do something like "if type(foo) = MyImportedType".
What are some good file structure conventions to follow that make this easier?

🇧🇷 Marketplace de Veículos. Consegue me ajudar?
Fala galera, beleza?
Meu nome é João, e to desenvolvendo um Marketplace de Veículos. Obviamente pretendo atuar regionalmente a princípio, com plano de escalar pra nível estadual, a depender da adoção do mercado. Pra resumir bastante trabalho com revenda de veículos usados já tem uns 8 anos. Minha família empreende no ramo tendo mais duas outras empresas do mesmo nicho na nossa cidade, e eu recentemente (junho de 2022) abri a minha própria loja de motos. Diante dessa experiência prévia no mercado de revenda de veículos, ao observar o quanto do orçamento de marketing é direcionado pra esses marketplaces como WebMotors, iCarros, e muitos outros a nível regional do seu Estado, pensei: tem espaço pra mais um.
Não é uma ideia inovadora, nem disruptiva, é um mercado consolidado e validado com grandes players bem estabelecidos. Mas a depender da região e da abordagem de marketing e vendas, existe uma lacuna.
Vamos falar de desenvolvimento. Tenho uma pequena experiência com Flask, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap e JS. Já construí alguns projetos com essas tecnologias e me atenderam bem até onde precisei ir. Mas quando se trata de um marketplace de veículos com múltiplos usuários, múltiplas sessões simultâneas, alto volume de upload de imagens, eu sinceramente

Open-source Dash app that features dashboards with varying levels of complexity
What My Project Does: This Dash app, whose source code is available here, demonstrates how to use Dash to create a series of interactive online visualizations, ranging from from simple charts to more complex interactive setups.
Target Audience: These dashboards and their corresponding source code will hopefully serve as a useful reference for developers who are evaluating different ways to represent data using Dash.
Comparison: This project has been released under the MIT license and thus offers developers more flexibility than projects released under more restrictive terms. In addition, this app may be more cost-effective than ones created with propietary tools like Tableau, as such tools may require the user to pay a significant amount in licensing fees. Finally, the live demo (available via the following link) allows users to easily review each of the sample dashboards.
Click here to view the Google Cloud Run-hosted version of this app. (If no one has accessed the app recently, it will take several seconds to load, as the app is set to run on demand in order to save costs.)
## Dashboard overviews:
The Fixed Dashboard page shows a very simple dashboard setup that lacks user-defined filter and comparison settings.

Maelstrom 0.12.0: Isolate your tests, and run them fast.
We’re excited to announce Maelstrom 0.12.0, a test runner for Python that can run tests locally or on a cluster. Our new UI features real-time information about running tests, output from the build, and a new progress bar.
Maelstrom is a suite of test runners, built on top of a general-purpose clustered job engine. Maelstrom packages your tests into micro-containers, then distributes them to be run on an arbitrarily large cluster of test-runners, or locally on your machine using a custom-built, super-fast container runtime.

I don't know shit about my project
I want to build and deploy a SpongeBob API similar to the One Piece API and I was having a couple of questions that maybe some of you can help me with
1.- Is it legal? I'm not quite sure what data can I and cannot use. For instance I'm pretty sure I can't use images from the show, but what about data about characters, places, songs related to SpongeBob. The whole point of this is to finally have something mine on internet and people can see it, if I can't show this legally I don't see the point on bulding it
2.- Can I have a section to receive donations? (again, is it legal?)
3.- Is it a good idea/practice to use the same django project for the web app (documentation, about page, donations, contact) and for the API? Or is it better to make 2 different projects and maybe different frameworks/libraries for the front?
4.- what security concerns do I have to keep in mind? I want it to be a public API I was thinking about limiting the request per minute and maybe store the data in the cache to improve perfomance, what else do I

I created a modern and customizable tooltip library for PyQt and PySide
Hey guys,
since I couldn't find any good libraries for showing modern-looking and customizable tooltips in PyQt, I made one myself.
What My Project Does:
It supports fixed placement, automatic placement, fallback placements, an optional triangle, animations, delays and much more. Basically anything can be completely customized and it's extremely easy to use. Also, since it's developed with QtPy, an abstraction layer for multiple versions of PyQt and PySide, you can use it with PyQt5, PyQt6, PySide2, and PySide6.
Target Audience:
This is useful for any Python developer who is working with PyQt or PySide and wants to add modern and customizable tooltips to their application.
Comparison:
To my knowledge, there are no comparable libraries out there.

Best way to eliminate or reduce redundancy in views?
I'm in the process of building a live chat using django\_channels and frontend as reactJS. In this project, I'm trying to be more familiar with class based views and utilize them as much as I can . The question that I have is what is the convention or best practice when eliminating or reducing redundancy in the views. I have three sets of snippets in the bottom and all of them are using .list() method to implement .filter(). Is there a way to reduce this or better way to this with less code? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

queryset = CommunityMessage.objects.all()
# authentication_classes = [TokenAuthentication]
# permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]

I am using flask and bootstrap. I wondering, what is the best way to create admin features for flask?
Just to clarify I'm asking because I never built admin features before. I am just wondering what are the standard features.
I have a few options.
1)
I could use flask admin .
2)
Someone recommended this https://flask-appbuilder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ .
3)
I could write the code myself the problem is I don't know all the features to implement.
I could write a wrapper like "@login_required" called "@admin_required". But like stated what other features should I add.
4)
An Alternative way.
If someone has any other suggestions for an alternative way please state them.
Thank you for the responses.

Best way to communicate database updates to Flask web app?
Hello, I'm writing a simple flask app that displays a table containing rows of detection records. These detection records come from a sqlite db that is populated by a classifier python script. Both the web app and the classifier are run by main.py, that uses multiprocessing to spin up each process.
The app currently works, but I need to refresh the web page to show any new detection records that are inserted into the database after the page is loaded. I would like this to instead be a live page that automatically updates the table when a new record is inserted into the database. I figured the best way to do this would be to use flask socketio and pass a multiprocessing queue to both the web app and classifier, and then insert a detection into the queue at the same time the record is added. Then, within the web app, spin up another two processes: one for the web app, and the other being a consumer that is constantly watching the queue and calls the socketio emit whenever a detection is pulled from the queue. This doesn't work, and I'm curious if it is

Help me optimize my table, Query or DB
I have a project in which I am maintaining a table where I store translation of each line of the book. These translations can be anywhere between 1-50M.
I have a jobId mentioned in each row.
What can be the fastest way of searching all the rows with jobId?
As the table grows the time taken to fetch all those lines will grow as well. I want a way to fetch all the lines as quickly as possible.
If there can be any other option rather than using DB. I would use that. Just want to make the process faster.

Edifice is like React, but with Python instead of JavaScript, and Qt Widgets instead of the HTML DOM
Edifice v1.0.0 was released last month.
https://github.com/pyedifice/pyedifice
Edifice offers a declarative framework for Qt which is like React, but with Python instead of JavaScript, and **Qt Widgets** instead of the HTML DOM.
# What My Project Does
- Modern declarative UI paradigm from web development.
- 100% Python application development, no language inter-op.
- A native Qt desktop app instead of a bundled web browser.
- Fast iteration via hot-reloading.
# Target Audience
Developers who want to make a desktop user interface in Python because their useful libraries are in Python (think PyTorch).
# Comparison
## Edifice vs. Qt Quick
Qt Quick is Qt’s declarative GUI framework for Qt.
Qt Quick programs are written in Python + the special QML language + JavaScript.
Edifice programs are written in Python.
Because Edifice programs are only Python, binding to the UI is much more straightforward. Edifice makes it easy to dynamically create, mutate, shuffle, and destroy sections of the UI. Qt Quick assumes a much more static interface.
Qt Quick is like DOM + HTML + JavaScript, whereas Edifice is like React. QML and HTML are both declarative UI languages but they require imperative logic in another language for dynamism. Edifice and React allow fully dynamic applications to be specified declaratively in one

Best library for creating graphic PDF documents?
I have an application for which I need to auto-generate some diagrams as PDF files. The graphics aren't anything particularly fancy, just line drawings and some text.
My first instinct was to generate LaTeX code in Python to draw the graphics with TikZ, but I feel like there's probably a better way without the middleman. I see there are a variety of different libraries for generating PDFs, so I'm looking for someone who has used one or more of them to maybe point me towards one which would suit my needs the best.

Is every backend framework just an API at this point?
Is spring, flask, django .NET, node, etc all just functioning as APIs at this point?
Most apps you're building are probably built with a javascript framework like react in the frontend and then one of the languages/frameworks I mentioned above as a backend?
If that's the case ,what is the point of jinja, making forms etc in flask/django? I suppose we shouldn't practice this and just go straight to building APIs only and if that is the case, why aren't we all just using FastAPI? What's the point of Flask/Django?
