Any suggestions to my plan to learn Django?
For a bit of background, I'm a software engineer with 2+ professional YoE exclusively in Python for small scale applications, with some basic experience in FastAPI, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, PyQt and Docker. I would say I'm fairly proficient in core python but virtually no knowledge/experience in the fundamentals of the internet/HTTP/DNS/networking/cloud deployment, etc.
I'm really interested in learning Django which stems from my goal to build a web app that I have in mind + land a Django role in the distant future, whilst also hoping that the aforementioned weak areas will be learnt along the way.
As I'm in no real rush to learn Django and build my idea, I'd like to plan out some reading material hoping to comprehensively cover the main areas, including deployment, payment handling, etc. So, I'm not really interested in the 5-hour speedrun courses on youtube.
I also don't like the idea of jumping head first into building my idea, as I've taken that approach before and it resulted in a lot of undue stress from incessant jumping around which could've been avoided if I learnt things in a intuitively structured way. Also, I do plan on using the django docs for

Gunicorn vs Gunicorn with Uvicorn workers
Hi everyone,
I have a fully synchronous Django app running on Gunicorn with Uvicorn workers. However, I’ve run into a problem: I want to use Gunicorn’s instrumentation features and server hooks (pre_request, and post_request), but these aren’t supported with Uvicorn workers.
I’m debating whether to switch from Uvicorn workers to Gunicorn’s default synchronous workers. I’ve read that Uvicorn workers can still offer better performance, even for synchronous apps, so I’m not sure if I should switch or not.
Should I consider alternatives for instrumentation and server hooks, or would it be better to migrate to normal Gunicorn workers? I’d appreciate any advice or recommendations.
Thanks in advance!

Looking for a Django Collaborator(s). Why not building something together??
Hi all!
This is my first time posting here, so if this kind of request isn’t the norm, please be kind.
I’m a second-year CS student (female) learning Django on my own alongside a course I’ve already finished. I’m currently working on a project with deadline approaching (27th December, yikes!). The project has real-world potential, and if it’s good enough, I’ll get to present it to an employee or even secure school funding to develop it further.
I’d love to work on this project together with someone who’s interested in Django. If it turns into something bigger, we can both benefit from it— adding it to our portfolios and showcasing it as a real-world project.
If you’re interested in collaborating and also if u want to connect as coding buddies (Learning alone sometimes gets so lonely) dm me!

D I don't see a point in rebuttals anymore.
This is a mixture of some contemplation and some rant but per the title, I just don't see a point in it. I recently got back results from a conference where I had two positive reviews and one negative. Then wrote a really nice rebuttal that addressed a fundamental misunderstanding of the reviewer (who, later, did increase their points so I guess the rebuttal was on mark?). But turns out, the meta-reviewer latched on to the negative review, didn't even read the rebuttal that addressed said review and rejected the paper.
What was even the point of me rebutting if concerned parties are _not even going to read them_? At this point, I am tempted to treat the rebuttal phase as an exercise in futility. Maybe I should withdraw papers in the first phase come any problems instead of trying to go through the agony of an ultimately meaningless labor.

Pytask Queue - Simple Job/Task Management
# What My Project Does
This is my first ever public python package, it is a job/task management queuing system using sqlite.
Using a worker, jobs are picked up off the queue, manipulated/edited, then reinserted.
It is meant to replace messaging services like RabbitMQ or Kafka, for smaller, lightweight apps. Could also be good for a benchmark tool, to run several processes and use the sqlite database to build reports on how long n number of processes took to run.
# Target Audience
Devs looking to not have to use a heavier messaging service, and not having to write your own database queries with sqlite to replace that.
# Comparison
I don't know of any packages that do queuing/messaging like this, so not sure.
Feel free to give it a try and leave it a star if you like it, also feel free to submit a PR if you are having issues.

🌟 NanoDjango Enthusiasts, Assemble! 🚀✨
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm working on a small project using [NanoDjango](https://github.com/kracekumar/nanodjango), a lightweight Django-like framework, to build a **Provident Fund Tracker App**. I've got the app mostly set up, but I’m running into some challenges and would love some guidance from anyone who has experience with NanoDjango or Django in general.
# What I’ve Done So Far:
1. **Models:** I’ve defined `Company`, `Employee`, and `PFPayment` models for storing company and employee data.
2. **Data Fetching:** I implemented a custom management command to fetch data from an Excel file and an XML file and populate the database.
3. **Web Views:** I’ve created views for:
* A homepage listing all companies.
* A detailed view for each company, showing its employees.
* A detailed view for each employee, showing their payment history.
4. **Templates:** HTML templates are located in the `templates` folder and are working fine with the `render` function.
**Update: I can easily populate using admin panel but want to do with custom command which will take data from excel file.**
# The Problem:
I’m struggling with:
1. Running my custom management command to populate the database. What’s the correct command to use with NanoDjango ?.

[Release 0.4.0] TSignal: A Flexible Python Signal/Slot System for Async and Threaded Python—Now with
Hey everyone!
I’m thrilled to announce TSignal 0.4.0, a pure-Python signal/slot library that helps you build event-driven applications with ease. TSignal integrates smoothly with async/await, handles thread safety for you, and doesn’t force you to install heavy frameworks.
# What’s New in 0.4.0
## Weak Reference Support
You can now connect a slot with weak=True. If the receiver object is garbage-collected, TSignal automatically removes the connection, preventing memory leaks or stale slots in long-lived applications:
```python
# Set weak=True for individual connections
sender.event.connect(receiver, receiver.on_event, weak=True)
# Or, set weak_default=True at class level (default is True)
@t_with_signals(weak_default=True)
class WeakRefSender:
@t_signal
def event(self):
pass
# Now all connections from this sender will use weak references by default
# No need to specify weak=True for each connect call
sender = WeakRefSender()
sender.event.connect(receiver, receiver.on_event) # Uses weak reference
# Once `receiver` is GC’d, TSignal cleans up automatically.
```
## One-Shot Connections (Optional)
A new connection parameter, one_shot=True, lets you disconnect a slot right after its first call. It’s handy for “listen-once” or “single handshake” scenarios. Just set:
```python
signal.connect(receiver, receiver.handler, one_shot=True)
```
The slot automatically goes away after the first emit.
## Thread-Safety Improvements
TSignal’s internal locking and scheduling mechanisms have been refined to further reduce race conditions in high-concurrency environments. This ensures more

(noob q) What's the best way to set up a many-to-many relationship with djangorestframework?
To simplify the scenario:
My app has users and pre-defined cards. Users can build decks using the cards that are available.
So of course I need models for User, Deck, and Card.
Each User:Deck is 1:many - easy, add foreign key to Deck for User/owner
Here's where I'm not sure what the best option is:
Each Deck includes many cards, and each card may belong to many decks.
Should I build a list of cards that belong to the deck, then include them as a single field? (I think this would be slower because I'd have to retrieve the list then query for those cards?)
Or should I build a separate table that has a separate row for each deck-card relation? (So I would take Deck ID, filter DeckCards by deck ID, and all the cards listed are available)
I'm learning about serializers and hyperlinking right now, but not sure what would be the best way to set up my API here. I followed through the DRF tutorial and it looks like they used hyperlinking for 1:many (users:snippets) but not sure if I can do it the same way for many:many.

D Struggling to Find My Path in PhD Research
Hi everyone, I hope you don’t mind me venting a bit, but I’m hoping to gain some insight into a challenge I’ve been facing. I’m a second-year PhD student researching time series, and honestly, I thought by now I would have a clear research question. But I don’t, and it’s starting to get to me.
Part of the struggle comes from the overwhelming pressure to pick a “hot” topic. A lot of the research I see in the field feels driven by what I can only describe as Shiny Object Syndrome—chasing the latest trends rather than focusing on work that’s meaningful and substantial. For example, I’ve seen several papers using large language models (LLMs) for time series forecasting. While LLMs are undeniably fascinating, it feels more like an attempt to forcefully fit them into time series because it’s “cool,” not because it’s the best tool for the problem at hand. And I don’t want to be part of that trend.
But here’s the dilemma: How do you choose a research topic that feels both authentic and impactful, especially when everything around you seems so driven by the latest hype? Do you follow these emerging trends, or do you focus on something that

How to make a main consumer that dispatches requests to multiple sub-consumers
I need to accomplish three real-time tasks using Django Channels. I need to track the status of my users (if they are online or offline), I need to send them notifications while they're on the site and I need to manage a live chat. I could maintain three separate WebSocket connections to three different consumers but that would be a pretty inefficient use of ressources.
I would prefer to have one main WebSocket connection with a single consumer that dispatches the requests made to it to three sub-consumers to make it nice, clean and efficient while maintaining a clear separation between the three tasks.
How do I do this?

bnap4000 - A simple music player made in made with true randomness in mind.
I have been working on a terminal music player for Linux and Windows. Feel free to suggest or report bugs on GitHub.
What does my project do: It's meant to be a simple, lightweight music player that runs right in your terminal. It's main purpose is to play music randomly and stay out of your way, you just drop music into your music folder and let it play.
Target Audience: Mostly meant for slightly tech savvy people who want something that won't take up a ton of resources, it only uses \~60mb of RAM on my system.
Comparison: I'd compare it to VLC Media player, what I think bnap4000 does better is with simplicity. It has a very simple UI that shows what song is playing, a couple things like volume, a progress bar, and a queue.

Built my own link customization tool because paying $25/month wasn't my jam
Hey folks! I built shrlnk.icu, a free tool that lets you create and customize short links.
What My Project Does: You can tweak pretty much everything - from the actual short link to all the OG tags (image, title, description). Plus, you get to see live previews of how your link will look on WhatsApp, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Type customization is coming soon too!
Target Audience: This is mainly for developers and creators who need a simple link customization tool for personal projects or small-scale use. While it's running on SQLite (not the best for production), it's perfect for side projects or if you just want to try out link customization without breaking the bank.
Comparison: Most link customization services out there either charge around $25/month or miss key features. shrlnk.icu gives you the essential customization options for free. While it might not have all the bells and whistles of paid services (like analytics or team collaboration), it nails the basics of link and preview customization without any cost.
Tech Stack:
Flask + SQLite DB (keeping it simple!)
Gunicorn & Nginx for serving
Running on a free EC2 instance
Domain from Namecheap ($2 - not too shabby)

Can someone explain what sessions are, and why am I facing so much of a problem with my API permissions?
The problem I am facing is that I am not able to access my newly built APIs that require the [IsAuthenticated\] permissions to fetch the data in my Svelte frontend, whereas I am able to perform all the [IsAuthenticated\] API functions on the django restframework UI while testing my APIs. For example, whenever I login using my DRF UI, this is the output I get: User: Turf NationTurf ID: 1, Date: 2024-12-18[20/Dec/2024 16:46:42] "GET /enterprise/slot-status/?turf_id=1&date=2024-12-18 HTTP/1.1" 200 16716
and now whenever I do the same process using the Svelte frontend, I get this:User: AnonymousUserTurf ID: 1, Date: 2024-12-19[20/Dec/2024 16:47:34] "GET /enterprise/slot-status/?turf_id=1&date=2024-12-19 HTTP/1.1" 200 4460
As you can see the user is being recognised using the DRF UI while not for the frontend. I asked chatGPT about this, and it said this is all related to sessions and cookies, and ISTG, I have never really used those before. The frontend logic is not wrong either because I can access the GET POST functions when they are [AllowAny\].
Can anyone help with this?
