I made my computer go "Cha Ching!" every time my website makes money
**What My Project Does**
This is a really simple script, but I thought it was a pretty neat idea so I thought I'd show it off.
It alerts me of when my website makes money from affiliate links by playing a Cha Ching sound.
It searches for an open Firefox window with the title "eBay Partner Network" which is my daily report for my Ebay affiliate links, set to auto refresh, then loads the content of the page and checks to see if any of the fields with "£" in them have changed (I assume this would work for US users just by changing the £ to a $). If it's changed, it knows I've made some money, so it plays the Cha Ching sound.
**Target Audience**
This is mainly for myself, but the code is available for anyone who wants to use it.
**Comparison**
I don't know if there's anything out there that does the same thing. It was simple enough to write that I didn't need to find an existing project.
I'm hoping my computer will be making noise non stop with this script.

Geo Guesser Game & Dynamic Notes
https://i.redd.it/7qfezluflyud1.gif
This is a project I've been working on, its a geo guesser game and a rich note taking tool along with a place for me to demonstrate other packages and software I develop.
Everything was built in Plotly / Dash and is hosted with Flask. Thought this would be an interesting project to show and tell because of how dynamic i've built it out to be.
Still actively in development so I would be interested to see what feedback anyone has about the UI or functionality of the few pages I've created.
Try the drawing tool:

I created a local directory site in Django
Still needs lots of improvement, but I created a local directory site for insect control companies.
https://insectcontrolcompanies.com
It’s designed to be reused to create other kinds of directories.
Hosted on Hetzner along with a few other projects on CapRover.
There are a few scheduled jobs, such as pulling in new company info, creating profile descriptions using GPT4, categorisation.
I started out using Celery for this but then realised it’s overkill, so now I just have a cron job on the base machine that runs a manage.py command inside the container. Works much better! And saves a lot of RAM (important when running multiple apps on €8 VM).

How secure is Django?
I have several years of experience building stuff with Flask - stitching authentication, rate limiting and such stuff myself. I started using Django recently. Django seems to want to make me think it does everything for me, but I'm paranoid. Which security considerations are worth taking into account when using Django? Does it actually handle anything besides authentication and SQL injections?

Suggestions for cloud databases?
I am writing a program in Python that will need to be used by a small team of people in different locations. The program will need to access a SQL or SQLite database and so the database needs to be stored and accessed remotely.
Can I please have your suggestions for this? It only needs to be for light usage with a small team of about 5 people max and likely only 2 max accessing it at the same time. I would prefer something free or if costs are involved something with trivial costs.
Thanks in advance.

Kanban-Tui, Moving Cards around in the Terminal
* **What My Project Does**
Kanban-Tui is a CLI application to manage tasks and (hopefully) makes you more productive.
It is quite customizable and my motivation was to have a better experience using the fantastic [textual](https://textual.textualize.io) package than with my
previous project [kanban-python](https://github.com/Zaloog/kanban-python) which just utilizes `rich`. It was also the first project, where I used `uv` and I wanted to get more comfortable with databases (sqlite).
With v0.2.0 I also included a `Demo Mode` to create a temporary database and config to play around and test things out.
You can find it on PyPi: [Link](https://pypi.org/project/kanban-tui/)
Source Code on github: [Link](https://github.com/Zaloog/kanban-tui)
* **Target Audience** (e.g., Is it meant for production, just a toy project, etc.)
For everyone who likes to work in the terminal and does not want to miss a more graphical Interface. It is ready to use, but I plan to add multiple boards feature after vacation. That might lead to a db schema change, so keep that in mind, when playing around.
* **Comparison** (A brief comparison explaining how it differs from existing alternatives.)
Its similar to kanban-python, but has not yet all the features.
Also with the TUI I was able to utilize vim-like motions to move cards around, which comes closer to the feeling of actually moving

Pre-commit hooks that autogenerate iPython notebook diffs
What My Project Does
Nowadays, I use iPython notebooks a lot in my software development nowadays. It's a nice way to debug things without having to fire up pdb; I'll often use it when I'm trying to debug and explore a new API.
Unfortunately, notebooks are really hard to diff in Git. I use magit and git diffs pretty extensively when I change code, and I rely heavily them to make sure I haven't introduced typos or bugs. iPython notebooks are just JSON blobs, though, so git gives me a horrible, incoherent mess. I basically commit them blindly without checking the code at all nowadays, which isn't ideal.
So to resolve this I generate a readable version of the notebook, and check the diff for that. Specifically, I wrote a script that extracts only the Python code from the iPython notebook (which is essentially a JSON file). Then, whenever I commit a change to the iPython notebook, it:
1. Automatically generates the Python-only version alongside the original notebook.
2. Commits both files to the repository.
To make sure it runs when I need it, I created a git pre-commit hook. Git's default pre-commit hooks are a little difficult to use, so I built a hook for

Finally I make money from my django project
It was quite long journey.. it took about a year and a half to build and no sales for 4months.. I was quite depressed..
I figured out what to fix and my site started to make sales and now I make $100~$200 in revenue everyday. It is not that big amount but I can do this for living and I know how to scale up
I feel really thanks to django foundation..
If I chose nodejs or something else I wouldnt build a service for living in that short period of time..

Speeding up PyTest by removing big libraries
I've been working on a small project that uses "big" libraries, and it was extremely annoying to have `pytest` to take 15–20 seconds to run 6 test cases that were not even doing anything.
Armed with the excellent [PyInstrument](https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1g1az6i/pyinstrument_v50_flamegraphs_for_python/) I went ahead to search for what was the reason.
Turns out that biggish libraries are taking a lot of time to load, maybe because of the `importlib` method used by my `pytest`, or whatever.
But I don't really need these libraries in the tests … so how about I remove them?
# tests/conftest.py
import sys
from unittest.mock import MagicMock
def pytest_sessionstart():
sys.modules['networkx'] = MagicMock()
sys.modules['transformers'] = MagicMock()
And yes, this worked wonders! Reduced the tests run from 15 to much lower than 1 second from `pytest` start to results finish.
I would have loved to remove `sqlalchemy` as well, but unfortunately `sqlmodel` is coupled with it so much it is inseparable from the models based on `SQLModel`.
Would love to hear your reaction to this kind of heresy.

D What do you think will be the next big thing in the field? Is LLM hype going to fade?
I am happy with the success of LLMs, but I am not much of a NLP fan. What do you think will be the next big thing that will achieve commercial success or wide range of applicability (useful both in startups and large companies)?
E.g., are RL or GNNs going to start being used in practice more widely (I know GNNs are used in large companies, but still I am not aware that they are widely used)?
I consider computer vision a well established field considering practical applications, but is there maybe something new happening there?

Having a bit of an issue with Swagger UI using flasgger
Hi all. I am versed in flask but this is my first time trying to generate Swagger API docs.
The issue: Swagger (uiversion 2) is displaying mostly normally but when it comes to APIs that include a route parameter, I am not given any input field to enter a value for that parameter.
e.g.
`/api/user` will just return the hard-coded dictionary I feed the route function
`/api/user/{userid}` returns 200 but doesn't replace userid in the return statement of my route function.
In essence, where is my parameter field for replacing `{userid}` in my route with an actual value?
Note: I have tried uiversion 3 and those results are even worse
Edit: added a simplified yaml file; changed route param from int to string

Losing context path on /login with Flask-OIDC
I am running my app inside a Docker container with gunicorn.
In production, I run behind NGINX with a context path set.
For example, locally I would hit:
http://localhost:8085/fetch/path/to/file.txt
In production i would use:
https://my.domain.com/someapp/fetch/path/to/file.txt
One of the methods in my app is decorated like so:
@app.route(f'/fetch/<path:filepath>', methods='GET')
@oidc.requirelogin
def fetchfile(filepath):
try:
When I try this in production, the user is redirected to https://my.domain.com/login, where it should be
https://my.domain.com/someapp/login
It looks as though the path is being lost?
Is there some way to specify the oauth login URL?
My Nginx config looks like this:
proxysetheader X-Forwarded-For $httpxforwardedfor;
proxysetheader X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxyignoreclientabort on;
proxynocache 1;
proxycachebypass 1;

Parsera - website data extraction with minimal code
Python library for scraping websites that I am building for the last few months. The idea is to make data extraction as simple as:
from parsera import Parsera
url = "https://news.ycombinator.com/"
elements = {
"Title": "News title",
"Points": "Number of points",
}
scraper = Parsera()
result = scraper.run(url=url, elements=elements)
Check it out on GitHub and share your feedback: https://github.com/raznem/parsera
What My Project Does
It extracts data from websites without dealing with DOM structure and writing web scrapers.
Target Audience
Developers who are dealing with web-scraping in their data pipeline.
Comparison
Compared alternatives it’s easier to use, uses less tokens and works faster.

Tips for Command Line Project
Hello! I'm making a short project to have a little experience creating a command line tool, as well as getting a project onto PyPI. Mainly, I'm doing this because I think it's cool, and it would be awesome if a friend could pip3 install my project and just have a CLI tool off the install, similar to how the `qrcode` Python library comes with the `qr` CLI tool when installed. If you have any tips **AT ALL** for anything you see, like project organization, overall Python usage, or too many commits (is that possible), please tell me, I'm a sponge for info!
I'm still making the GUI portion, but the actual command line part should be done!
Off a google search, I understand there is already a PyPI project [Jonathan Löfgren\](https://github.com/jonathanlofgren/running/blob/master/.gitignore) made some time ago for converting paces into different distance paces. The purpose of my project here is to get a little experience creating a CLI tool I could use along with the overall process of getting something onto PyPI that works. If what I'm doing is majorly wrong, however, please tell me, I don't know!

Qtcord - A lightweight, native Discord client for Windows and Linux
Ever noticed that the normal Discord client is bloated and takes too long to load for quick conversations? Well, here's the solution. Qtcord is a very lightweight Discord client written by the open source community and me.
Shoutout to randomusername-a for optimizing the backend and improving the UI of this project!
# How Qtcord works.
Qtcord uses Python Requests to send and retrieve data from the Discord API.
I reverse engineered some of the requests with the browser devtools network tab. The rest were implemented from documentation/tutorials that various people wrote online, including the actual Discord API docs!
For the GUI, I chose PySide6 because it is very easy to use, especially with Qt Designer. This saved me time hardcoding the UI.
# Target Audience
Qtcord is designed for people who don't need the extra features and ads from Discord.
# Why is Qtcord different?
Qtcord is different because it is native. For example, the normal Discord client takes around 500 MiB of RAM. Qtcord only takes 138 MiB of RAM.
# Downloads and Source
You can get builds of Qtcord here.
Please give my source code repository for Qtcord a star if it's interesting! 🌟
