Udemy Fred's Python 3 course vs. GT Computing in Python course
I am an average Python programmer (I can do some OOP and simple scripts, but nothing really advanced) and wanted to improve my skills. I have narrowed down my Python resources to two courses, both in four parts:
1. Fred Baptiste Udemy course on Python 3 (in four parts)
2. Georgia Tech Computing in Python course (in four parts, too)
My employer should be able to reimburse both, so money is not an issue here - the question is which one would you suggest to choose to actually improve my Python skills and practice coding along the way? Meaning learning, but also implementing new concepts (so that they stick)? I assume the Georgia Tech is a nicer certificate to have (which is a plus for sure), but curious about actual content. Thanks so much!

Introducing PyKick: A Python Project Generator for PowerShell
**Hello everyone,**
Even with the intention of sharing, it's always a bit stressful to expose personal work to the community =}
But well... Maybe someone has the same question or need as I did, so with that in mind, I'm sharing my modest work done during my free time in the evenings (when the whole family is asleep =D) As you can see, besides the templates, there isn't anything particularly special – PyKick does what it needs to do and voilà – unit tests were the most time-consuming, as always (the PowerShell module was quick to write).
# What My Project Does
PyKick is an installable PowerShell module (or can be sourced otherwise) that quickly generates a new Python project with Git management, a virtual environment, and Sphinx documentation (if requested). In my Python projects, I need CLI exposure. Therefore, the generated Python project is immediately functional (a `pip install .` results in a CLI providing package information and version - the structure is here, just to complete)
PyKick doesn't aim to replace anything. Not finding something that met my needs, I ended up writing it without realizing it =}

Convert Figma design into Python code
🔗 Link — https://github.com/axorax/tkforge
# What My Project Does
TkForge is a Python app that allows you to turn your Figma design into Python tkinter code. So, you can make a GUI design in Figma and use specific names like "textbox", "circle", "image" and more for interactable elements then use TkForge to get the code for a fully functional working GUI app from your design.
And it's free, open-source and regularly maintained!
# Target Audience
TkForge is made for anyone who wants to make a GUI with Python easily and efficiently. It's fast and you can make some really complex and beautiful GUI's with it.
# Comparison
There's another project similar to TkForge called Tkinter Designer. Personally without being biased, I think TkForge is better. TkForge supports everything Tkinter Designer does and more. TkForge generates better code, supports more elements, allows you to add placeholder text (which you can't by default in tkinter), automatically sets foreground color and a lot more! Placeholder text and foreground color generation is a bit buggy though. I use TkForge for most of my tkinter projects. You can get help in the Discord server.
# Updates
I updated the app to support multiple frames, fixed a lot of previous bugs and added checks

Deply 0.5.1 Released: New Collectors, 10x Performance Boost, and Stronger Architectural Rules
Hello everyone,
It's Archil again, checking in from Wrocław, Poland. I'm excited to announce the release of Deply 0.5.1, an updated version of my Python tool for enforcing architectural patterns and dependencies in larger codebases. I've noticed steady downloads since the previous post, and I'm genuinely grateful to everyone who has tried Deply or provided feedback.
# What My Project Does
For those new here here is my previous post, Deply analyzes your code structure and verifies that your Python project adheres to a defined architecture. You specify layers, set rules, and Deply enforces them—helping maintain clean, modular, and maintainable code as your project grows.
# Target Audience
Ideal for developers and teams building medium to large Python applications who need to maintain clear, enforceable architectural boundaries. It also suits those aiming to teach or learn best practices.
# Comparison to Other Tools
• pydeps:
Focus: Visualization of dependencies
Comparison: pydeps provides a visual map of imports, helping you understand how parts of your code relate. Deply goes further by actively enforcing rules on these dependencies, ensuring that your project structure adheres to architectural guidelines instead of merely displaying it.
• import-linter:
Focus: Import-based dependency constraints
Comparison: import-linter is excellent for managing import hierarchies and preventing forbidden dependencies. Deply builds on this

How OAuth and normall user signup/login will work together
I know it's naive but I can't grasp the whole process of it.
I am creating a app (Django, React, Postgres) and I have normall Login/Signup via my own RESTful endpoints and I also want to give my users the option to signup with Fb/google etc.
For my own RESTful views I'm using Toke authentication but I am not sure how the OAuth Access token will work with that
Do I need to create a authentication token after successful authorization from Resource server ??

I built PdfDing using Django
Hi,
over the past six months I have built PdfDing using Django. It is a selfhosted PDF manager and viewer offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. You can it on GitHub. Some of its features include:
Remembers current position - continue where you stopped reading on any device
Share PDFs with an external audience via a link or a QR Code. Shared PDFs can be access controlled
Dark Mode, colored themes and custom theme colors
Inverted color mode for reading PDFs
SSO support via OIDC
PdfDing was my first real web app projects and my first using Django. The start was a bit rough, but afterwars it has been a blaze :). Feature development is fast and a lot of information is available online.
Other than Django the techstack includes:
the frondend is build using Alpine.js, htmx, jQuery and Tailwind CSS
authentication, registration, account management and OIDC is achieved by django-allauth
Mozilla's PDF.js is used for viewing PDF files in the browser
If you like PdfDing I would be really happy over a star. As the project is open source, if anyone is willing to contribute you are welcome!

Python .gitignore
I'm sure a lot of you have done this:
1. Start new project
2. Need that generic Python .gitignore file on GitHub
3. Google "python gitignore" (though you probably typed "gitingore")
4. Click link and click raw
5. Copy all and paste in your local .gitignore
And I'm sure a lot of you probably just use curl and have it memorized or have it in your shell history or something (fzf ftw). But I can't be bothered to learn curl properly, and I got tired of the manual steps, so I just created a function in my .zshrc file:
function pgi {
curl -JL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gitignore/refs/heads/main/Python.gitignore -o .gitignore
}
So now I can just run pgi whenever I start a new project, and boom, precious seconds of my life saved.
That's it, that's all I have, thanks for reading. I'm sure some of you have ever better solutions, but that's mine.

Django-Q2 in Azure Web App
I'm trying to migrate an overgrown POC app from an ex-colleague's desktop to the cloud. It's urgent, so I had to just figure out a plan of action quickly and run with it.
The app is a Django application with management dashboard, along with a whole range of tasks that need to be run at specific times throughout the day.
My colleague used to just run the server on his machine and have some Cron jobs configured for the tasks.
I've turned the Cron jobs into Django-Q2 schedules, which seem to run fine locally.
I've made 2 Azure Web Apps, one that starts up the Django application and hosts the dashboard with the "runserver" command in the startup script,which runs fine.
The other should be responsible for running the jobs, so it sets up the schedules in the startup script and then runs the "qcluster" command.
This last app keeps restarting, with message "Site startup probe failed after X seconds" and the jobs are not being executed (correctly). I assume this is because this app does not host a web server that can be probed by Azure, but I'm not sure.
2 questions:

Create a complete WORD SEARCH BOOK with a single click.
# [BOOP (Book Of Organized Puzzles)](https://github.com/Muneer320/BOOP)
# Description
BOOP is a Python-based automation project that generates a fully personalized puzzle book. With just a list of words as input, it creates a complete PDF with title pages, index pages, word search puzzles, and solutions.
Why did I make this? Honestly:
1. I was bored and needed something fun to work on.
2. I already had a script that could make word search puzzles, so I thought, "Why not take it up a notch?"
3. I’ve always wanted to write a book but lack the intellectual supremacy to do so. This project seemed like the next best thing!
# Links

* [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/Muneer320/BOOP)
# What My Project Does
* **Word Search Puzzles**: Generates 17 puzzles per topic, categorized into Normal, Hard, and Bonus modes.
* Normal: 10 puzzles (13x13 grid).
* Hard: 5 puzzles (17x17 grid).
* Bonus: 2 challenging puzzles.
* **Fully Designed Book**: Includes title pages, a detailed index, puzzle pages, and solution pages.
* **Automation**: Users only need to input a list of 200 words per topic; the script handles everything else.
# Target Audience
* Puzzle enthusiasts looking for custom-made puzzle books.
* Educators creating engaging learning materials.
* Developers interested in Python-based automation

Question about best practices with ForeignKeys
I'm relatively new to django and i'm working on a project where I'm currently designing the model relationships, and I'm curious about the best practices for handling multiple foreign key references to the same model.
Here's my specific scenario:
I have an Assignment model
I want to track which users are assigned to this assignment (using a many-to-many field)
I'm also creating individual Job models for each assignee
Each Job will have a foreign key to a specific user
My questions for the community:
1. Is it considered an anti-pattern to have both a many-to-many relationship at the Assignment level and individual foreign key references in the Job model?
2. What are the performance implications of this approach?
3. Are there better ways to model this kind of workflow?

How can I host my dynamic Django website, which includes an ML implementation like a BERT model, for completely free?
Hey, I want to host my dynamic Django website, which includes ML implementations like a BERT model, an NSFW detector, and CNN, for free because I don’t have any money. I’m just a student, or you could say someone learning ML and DL from the internet. I’m not someone who’s completely mastered coding yet, so I haven’t landed a job—I’m still learning the code and math behind it all. I also come from a non-tech background.
With what I’ve learned so far, I want to expand my knowledge by implementing it in a website. However, I can’t afford to pay for hosting. I know some platforms, like AWS Free Tier, offer free services for 12 months, but what happens after that? From where would I pay? Also, I’m not expecting the website to become popular overnight—it might take more than a year to gain traction.
Can anyone suggest completely free hosting solutions for projects like this? Any advice or guidance would mean a lot!

Sharing Smoke Simulation Project I have Been Working On
Hello all, I have been working on this project for quite some time and found it to be very useful for my task as a software engineer trying to build Computer Vision applications. My daily job involves working with smokey images and finding models but getting smokey images on demand was not possible and hence I came up with an idea to make a simulator. I modified the existing solution from bijection/smoke.js and implemented it with Python.
Links:
GitHub Repo: [https://github.com/q-viper/SmokeSim/](https://github.com/q-viper/SmokeSim/)
Demo: https://q-viper.github.io/SmokeSim/ (This demo is from only the JavaScript Version.)
## What My Project Does
It simulates a reproducible smoke image using PyGame. The property of the smoke and its particles can be controlled by the properties like size, velocity, lifetime, color, etc. In addition to that, this package can act as an image augmentation and can return the overlayed smoke mask, overlayed image, and smoke too.
## Target Audience
The main target audience would be anyone who is working on Computer Vision projects or image augmentation and looking for a cool way to increase training images. However, anyone who is interested in building something fun with Python and collaboration might find it interesting.
## Comparison
There are packages like Torchvision and Albumentations and this feature

Q1. If flet uses Flutter, then why does the flet Flutter plugin require a URL? Why cannot the flet UI "live" all together in Flutter?
Q2. Since there's a URL needed anyway, what's the advantage of using it vs for example having a Streamlit UI displayed in a PWA?
