Is async django ready for prime time? Our async django production experience
We have traditionally used Django in all our products. We believe it is one of the most underrated, beautifully designed, rock solid framework out there.
However, if we are to be honest, the history of async usage in Django wasn't very impressive. You could argue that for most products, you don’t really need async. It was just an extra layer of complexity without any significant practical benefit.
Over the last couple of years, AI use-cases have changed that perception. Many AI products have calling external APIs over the network as their bottleneck. This makes the complexity from async Python worth considering. FastAPI with its intuitive async usage and simplicity have risen to be the default API/web layer for AI projects.
I wrote about using async Django in a relatively complex AI open source project here: https://jonathanadly.com/is-async-django-ready-for-prime-time
tldr: Async django is ready! there is a couple of gotcha's here and there, but there should be no performance loss when using async Django instead of FastAPI for the same tasks. Django's built-in features greatly simplify and enhance the developer experience.
So - go ahead and use async Django in your next project. It should be a lot smoother that it was a year

Question about libraries
I don't understand how I should learn libraries. Let me explain: reading them I often don't understand what is written, it's all so difficult and technical. So I think "maybe I should watch an introductory video?" but I don't do it because it seems ethically wrong, I think I should learn by myself and not relying on someone's help every time. Can you tell me how you understand a library? Or a set of libraries needed to create a type of application (even more difficult since I don't even know which library to start with).

Building efficient API in Django REST framework, Django-ninja, and comparing to Golang
A few days ago I wrote about a step-by-step guide in optimizing an API written in Django REST Framework for retrieving large amount data (100k+ records), and most Redditors here liked it.
I have now added the same example written with Django-ninja to compare. Just for fun I also added a very light weight Golang implementation of the identical API.

One thing that was surprising to me is that Django-ninja does not appear to be using more memory than the Go implementation.

Excel Workbook Refresh Automation
Hey everyone! I’m looking to automate a repetitive task with Python and could use some help. I have a folder full of Excel workbooks that contain queries (linked to an ODBC connection), and I need a program that will:
1. Open each Excel file in the folder one by one.
2. Hit Control + Shift + F5 to refresh all queries in each workbook.
3. Wait until all the queries are done refreshing.
4. Save the workbook.
5. Close it and move to the next file.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to make this happen? I’d appreciate any code snippets or libraries to look into—thanks!

How to move images from one ImageField to another?
Here's the problem:
I have a User model, that accepts 3 images (img\_one, img\_two, and img\_three).
Then I have a view, that lets me delete an image, and then "rebalance them". For example if I have 3 images, and delete the second one, the img\_three data should move to img\_two.
And I can't seem to figure out how to do this "rebalancing part" correctly.
Here's the code for views.py:
@login_required
def img_delete_action(request, img_id):
if request.method == 'POST':
if img_id == 1 and request.user.img_one:
request.user.img_one.delete()
elif img_id == 2 and request.user.img_two:
request.user.img_two.delete()
elif img_id == 3 and request.user.img_three:
request.user.img_three.delete()
else:
return render(request, "components/user-images.html")
img_list = [request.user.img_one, request.user.img_two, request.user.img_three]
rebalanced_list = []

Sending cross-email-client-compatible emails with MJML and Python
Email clients, even Gmail opened in a browser have limited and varying support for HTML/CSS which makes sending good-looking emails hard, especially for various older Outlook clients and other popular email apps.
The old way was tedious inbox testing, conditional Outlook HTML code with tables inside tables and so on. Python could use premailer to inline styles for much better compatibility of plain HTML/CSS and then use tidy to clear HTML from any excess markup and errors... but it's not perfect and limited.
We got React Email some time ago, but it's React. Then one of email marketing companies, Mailjet, got triggered enough that they made a sort of a standard/markup - MJML \- set that is email message-safe and can be used in browser WYSIWYG as well as backend parsers. Python has an unofficial library so it's very easy to quickly switch to using MJML for email templates.
Aside from client compatibility there is the issue of sending emails so they don't go into spam folder, that will display nicely even if the client blocked loading external assets and more... I went through those problems and some solutions in my tutorial:

Waiting for Geopolars
I have been using polars for the past few months and love it so much. So much faster and cleaner than pandas. I am about to start a new personal project that will use a lot of geo-dataframes and am thinking about which package to use. Geo pandas exists but its slow and I'd rather something more up to date and polars compatible.
After doing some digging, Geopolars is well on the way but still a major work in progress, several months away from an alpha at least. I'd contribute but my rust isn't up to scratch. I think I might just have to use geopandas for now and convert my code to geopolars when it comes out. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

A complete-ish guide to dependency management in Python
I recently wrote a very long blog post about dependency management in Python. You can read it here:
https://nielscautaerts.xyz/python-dependency-management-is-a-dumpster-fire.html
Why I wrote this
Anecdotally, it seems that very few people who write Python - even professionally - think seriously about dependencies. Part of that has to do with the tooling, but part of it has to do with a knowledge gap. That is a problem, because most Python projects have a lot of dependencies, and you can very quickly make a mess if you don't have a strategy to manage them. You have to think about dependencies if you want to build and maintain a serious Python project that you can collaborate on with multiple people and that you can deploy fearlessly. Initially I wrote this for my colleagues, but I'm sharing it here in case more people find it useful.
What it's about
In the post, I go over what good dependency management is, why it is important, and why I believe it's hard to do well in Python. I then survey the tooling landscape (from the built in tools like pip and venv to the newest tools like uv and pixi) for creating reproducible environments, comparing advantages and disadvantages.

Beginner in Django, Choosing the Right Storage for Files (Local vs. Cloud)
Hi everyone,
I’m new to Django and web development with only a few months of experience. I’ve built some small projects, but I’m now working on one that involves storing files (like PDFs, images, and ZIP files). So far, I’ve only stored files on the same server as my app, but I’d like to understand other storage options better.
Specifically, I’m trying to decide between local storage (keeping files on the same server) and cloud storage (like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, etc.). Here’s what I’d love to know:
1. Pros and Cons What are the main benefits and drawbacks of local storage versus cloud storage for a small-scale project? I’m not dealing with huge amounts of data here, just a few files for now.
2. Setup Difficulty How hard is it to set up cloud storage with Django as a beginner? I’ve heard there’s more configuration involved compared to just saving files locally, so any insight on what to expect would be helpful.
3. Costs Are there any affordable cloud storage options for small-scale projects? I’m on a limited budget, so I’m wondering if the cost is worth it for something that’s not too data-intensive yet.
Any advice or beginner-friendly tips on storage options would

The Mill build tool is looking for people to collaborate with on adding Python support
Hi All,
Mill is a build tool traditionally targeting JVM languages Java/Scala/Kotlin, but is branching out to support other languages like multi-module Python or Javascript codebases. We're looking for people interested build tools to collaborate with us on adding first-class Python toolchain support to Mill. To that end, we've put up a non-trivial issue bounty to encourage collaboration for anyone who implements various Python-related build examples and tooling integrations for Mill:
First Class Python Support (4000USD Bounty)
I'd love to get feedback on the tool, the Python support roadmap, or thoughts on what people need from a Python build tool. My own Python tooling experience is a bit out of date, so any feedback (both positive or negative) would be very welcome!

Displaying human readable choice from a field in a template from a form
this took an incredible amount of time to work through all the kinks and I'm wondering if there was an easier way to do this. I created a form for a profile model to be used for a dating site so a lot of the fields have a list of choices for the possible values. trying to get the human readable values from the choices lists was a challenge since the form will always send the short notation of the choice. even trying to set the default response from the model as the get_FOO display value wasn't working through the template, so i created a template tag that can be called from the template to convert into the display values and went from there. It presented it's own challenges as now the values had to be attained ising the get_field_display method, there was no more if form.status == 2 in my templates it had to be form.instance|get_field_display:'<field name>' and if i wanted to check for null values |default:'' had to be added to the end to force the template to correctly distinguish if a value was null or not.

I am willing to work on a volunteering basis to gain more experience and grow
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for opportunities to volunteer and contribute as a developer. I have solid experience with backend development in Django, along with the skills needed to build full systems and integrate frontend components. I also have some exposure to DevOps and am actively expanding my knowledge in that area.
In my recent experience, I worked as a full-stack intern for 1.5 months, handling tasks across backend, frontend, and documentation. Although it was an unpaid role, I gained hands-on experience working on real projects, and now I’m eager to find a paid position. However, I’m open to volunteer for a meaningful role where I can grow, contribute, and help build impactful projects.
I’m willing to put in up to 12 hours a day if needed. If anyone has any openings or knows of any projects that could benefit from my skills, please let me know. Thanks!

Impressed by Django
Working in big tech and using Java, Django is a fresh breath of air. What are your favorite features of Django? I’m currently really liking Django Admin. I like the batteries included approach. I’m also glad to be out of pom.xml hell. While virtual environments are a bit annoying it’s overall easier to grok what’s going on with Python. I’m also impressed by Bulma. I like that I don’t have to use JavaScript to build a functioning UI. Something I still get a bit confused about is how to separate things out into apps. It’s tempting to just keep everything in one app as one big monolith. I think I’ll get better at that when I am more experienced with Django.

Celery Workers take 2.5 Hours to START on ECS
Here's a link to my previous post where I was facing issues in ECS related to running the migrations. https://www.reddit.com/r/django/s/nl53QfhjR1
Currently my Djnago application is starting as expected in ECS and immediately without any delays.
The issue I'm facing right now is with the celery workers which are unable to start and shows logs after 2-3 hours later. I have used the 'flower' tool to check if it's a cloudwatch logs issue but the worker itself doesn't register until 2-3 hours later.
This is all running on ECS Fargate. The described issue came after some changes in the application. The same image is working in my UAT cluster though. I have checked the env files and ECS Task Definition multiple times.

Long startup time of the app (cold boot)
Hello, been using Flask for years now and I have this project that has been developed over the years. It has grew to around 400 routes.
The structure of the app is:
https://preview.redd.it/r31gktsamb0e1.png?width=723&format=png&auto=webp&s=65d3e4764678545b07387de91592bfa697442cfe
main.py file has all the routes for the app. I have tried using the Flask Blueprints today for one group of routes but it didn't make much difference to app startup time. Handlers are then used for handling the routes. Handlers can also call models which are used with Google Datastore for database. There are also some custom Python scripts for handling different CSV and XML files that users can upload.
The problem is that app startup time is around 30 seconds on local environment and around 40 seconds on Google App Engine (when instance is cold booting and loading the app for the first time). After the initial startup then the app is quite fast.
This means that users have to wait 40 seconds for the app to startup before it can serve the request. Even if I would put min-instances to 1 that would partly solve the issue but still, if a new instance would be needed (because of auto-scaling when app is under higher load) the startup time would
