web-development

[placid vale]

i have used sublime and vscode

[late gale]

i used it once when i was learning html since 4 years lol

[placid vale]

but vscode is gr8

specially it plugins

[late gale]

Vscode is awesome for web developement

[placid vale]

yeah

specially its live server plugin

[late gale]

Pycharm is awesome for other things like Machine learning

agreed

[placid vale]

i will later also try pycharm

[mental prawn]

guys if i want to make a website and me mysel want tof code it how should i do it?

[placid vale]

when i will learn something else 😛

:/ wdym?

just write css html and js

[late gale]

@mental prawn you wanna code a website ?

[mental prawn]

no no no

[tardy heron]

who cares. Try out what you like. If you want, get vim and learn it and install a plugin installation plugin and write a 200 line config to make it work like you want. It would work too.

[mental prawn]

i want to make a website, and i dont want to use wix or webflow or something, i want me mself to code and bring the code to life how am i suppose to do it?

[placid vale]

just code

[late gale]

you need to learn frontend and backend

[tardy heron]

not by changing your editor.

[late gale]

frontend = html , css , js or sass

[placid vale]

yeah learn

[late gale]

backend = django or flask

if u are talking about python

if u want to build using php so laravel

[placid vale]

never heared django

[late gale]

if u want to build using C# so .Net

[mental prawn]

i want to build using python

[late gale]

@placid vale you never heard anything

@mental prawn So either choose django or flask

and i highly recommend Django

[placid vale]

i am now days learning css

[mental prawn]

well i heard that django is a bit hard comparing with flask

[late gale]

it all depends on your presepctive

I find Django is much better and easier

[placid vale]

i am a beginner

[late gale]

@placid vale Welcome ^^

[placid vale]

everything is easy just practice!

[mental prawn]

same im a beginner on python i know a bit of if's and while's and other variables

so i want to test my knowledge on making a website

[late gale]

well you have a long way to go still

you need to learn oop , datastructures and algorthims

then u go for django as a backend

but u still have to learn html and css and javascript

[mental prawn]

datasturcture like panda or?

[placid vale]

you need to learn oop , datastructures and algorthims
@late gale what are those i have heared about them are they necessary?

[mental prawn]

i think you still can make a website using python

[late gale]

pandas is a library

Data structures and algorthims are the way to how to solve problems

[mental prawn]

yes and there are many more library's

[placid vale]

oh

[mental prawn]

like pd.Datastructure

[late gale]

noo it's a technique for problem solving

[placid vale]

for bot we need ? python?

only?

[late gale]

discord bots ?

[placid vale]

yeah

[late gale]

you dont need python to create a discord bot

[mental prawn]

soo do i need to learn html n js to make a website or?!

[late gale]

any language can build a discord bot

[placid vale]

😮

i have heard discord.js?

[late gale]

@mental prawn html and css js are necessary yes because they are anything you see at website "FrontEnd"

buttons , texts images

all of them are frontend

designs colors

anything u see is a frotnend

unlike backend

@placid vale discord.js is nice

[placid vale]

and they are super easy!!

[late gale]

Agreed

html css are easy

[placid vale]

yeah

js little tricky

[late gale]

agreed

and it might be too hard if u get to advanced javascript

as it says 1 + "1" = 2 and "1" + 1 = 11

something like that cant remember

[placid vale]

dont scare me😫

[tardy heron]

heh

[late gale]

xDD

[mental prawn]

😦

[late gale]

you dont need advanced javascript

just vanilla is fine

with html and css

beside ur backend framework

[placid vale]

hmm

[late gale]

you can build a website without a backend but you can't build a website without a frontend

[placid vale]

agreed

backend for forms etc

for forms use google forms

[mental prawn]

i never heard about front and backend's 🙂

[late gale]

you have a long road to go ^^

[placid vale]

hmm

[late gale]

but its nothing hard

[tardy heron]

it is hard

[placid vale]

agreed

[tardy heron]

😄

[late gale]

nope it's not

[mental prawn]

soo ugh

[late gale]

If u understand something hard that means its not

so all you gotta do is understand

[tardy heron]

i'm doing an api and learning typescript and angular. Never did js or web things before. It's hard enough 😄 Learning html, css, sass, js, typescript, flask, jwts, etc

theres so much stuff

[placid vale]

html soo much easy

just remember tags

[tardy heron]

still it's something 🙂

[mental prawn]

any ideas how i can improve my python skills?

[placid vale]

practice?

[mental prawn]

wdym?

[placid vale]

idk about python 😛

[late gale]

@mental prawn keep making projects everytime u learn something new

[mental prawn]

like ?

[late gale]

u said that u learned the while loop and if statements

[mental prawn]

yes

[late gale]

try to create a software for someone's interview

so they can write their name their age and answer questions

[placid vale]

@late gale nice to meet you
now i need to go for school homework 😛

[late gale]

and different ages means different questions

[mental prawn]

good idea 🙂

[late gale]

@placid vale same here ^^

you have to use your best friend " Google " for basic projects

[mental prawn]

wow @late gale you know so much about programming!

[late gale]

that way will improve your knowledge

[placid vale]

@placid vale same here ^^
@late gale u also school homework 🤔 😛

[late gale]

and will also tell you a lot of ideas to do

Thank you ^^

[mental prawn]

well i tried making like a small project where its like an online restaurent

[late gale]

@placid vale I am 18 but i dont have a homework 😛

@mental prawn always go with something basic

[mental prawn]

i tried n tried but failed 😦

[late gale]

go with basic things

and keep going for different levels

[mental prawn]

or making a small game

like xo

[late gale]

u can build the snake game

or xo

good job

[mental prawn]

the issue is that when i try making some project i get confused and then get stuck and then i stop

[late gale]

and i recommend not to start with games start with something u have studied

so u dont lose confidence and hope

and along the way

keep going for ur next level

and i believe that u will create your dream website ^^

[mental prawn]

Thank you 🙂 i appreciate it

[red perch]

So as i asked yesterday i had a problem with Flask, ```py
from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for, render_template

app = Flask(name, template_folder='templates')

@app.route("/")
def home():
return render_template("index.html")

if name == "main":
app.run(debug=True)

[mental prawn]

im not sure 🙂

[red perch]

idk if these links are correct but i guess it will not be the fault for infinet loading with no errors

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('assets', filename='main.css') }}" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('assets', filename='responsive.css') }}" />```

[patent thistle]

Hey anyone know abt what the heck is WebRTC . I heard about the webSocket and use it to build the chat app that allow birectional connection. Is WebRTC same as WebSocket or is diffrent then what is the diffrence?

[stable kite]

@patent thistle WebRTC means Web Realtime Comunication

@patent thistle The main difference is WebRTC uses Peer to Peer connection while Websocket uses client server connection

[cold haven]

Morning

[native tide]

Hey, I want to create some kind of a counter to a model, basically every time a user clicks a button, 1 num will be added to the counter, basically like counter += 1.

How do I do that? (Django)

[quick cargo]

I'd do that with js tbh

Aka ajax

[native tide]

um let's say then whenever a user is being added to a group

Is it still possible to do that with js?

[quick cargo]

You'd just use it to interact with the backend without reloading the page

[snow sierra]

which is better and useful HTML forms or ModelForms ??

[placid vale]

@snow sierra arent bot same

if u dont want to code and do backend u can try google forms

[snow sierra]

thank you for understand 🙂

and what you think which is better?

[placid vale]

ahh never tried modelforms

[halcyon lion]

Can you guys point me in the right direction. I want to display few items on the home page: most viewed and most recent. how do i do that?

[cold haven]

I would check if there's a lib for that first.

Not sure, but can be implemented in an ORM probably

You can store the most frequent and recently used transactions in a separate table

Maybe do many to many relationships

@halcyon lion

[halcyon lion]

i think i've done it in the past but i am a beginner with django 😄

and if i can remember correctly i had a like counter 😄

and u can just click as much as u want

[cold haven]

Yeah that works as to the most frequent

Sort by likes

What about recently used? You may need a timestamp

[halcyon lion]

oh man 😄

this is hard to learn 😄

i have never studied html, css and js

and now i have to learn all of those + django for 2 months while working 8h a day :d

[patent thistle]

Hey anyone know abt what the heck is WebRTC . I heard about the webSocket and use it to build the chat app that allow birectional connection. Is WebRTC same as WebSocket or is diffrent then what is the diffrence?
@patent thistle .

can any one tell me more descriptive i dont understand the bot answer

[worn basin]

Anyone have experience with setting up django-sass-processor? Im dealing with old scss files being loaded and reseting the browser cache doesnt solve my issue so I'm presuming I missed something when it comes to setup

[late gale]

can somoeone please help me authenticated users can see other profiles but unauthenticated can't .
here is my views.py

class UserProfile(DetailView):
    model = User
    template_name = "users/profile.html"
    context_object_name = 'user'

and the template

                {% if user.is_authenticated %}
                <li class="nav-item cta"><a href="{% url 'Profile' request.user.id%}" class="nav-link"><span>{{ request.user.username }}</span></a></li>
                {% else %}
                <li class="nav-item cta"><a href="{% url 'Contact' %}" class="nav-link"><span>Contact</span></a></li>
                {% endif %}

[late gale]

fixed it

[devout coral]

Good, I was just about to help

[late gale]

i should add

                {% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
                <li class="nav-item cta"><a href="{% url 'Profile' request.user.id%}" class="nav-link"><span>{{ request.user.username }}</span></a></li>

instead

i have another problem

haha

on the update profile

let me show it to you

[devout coral]

Ok

[late gale]

there

here is my views.py

class UpdateProfile(LoginRequiredMixin, UpdateView):
    model = Profile
    template_name = "users/update_profile.html"
    fields = ['user']

    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.instance.author = self.request.user
        return super().form_valid(form)

and here is the template

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/dariqenema.xml

[devout coral]

And you are getting this error when the user does not exist? Or is not authenticated?

[late gale]

i am getting this error whenever an authenticated user clicks on the edit button so it directs him to the update page so he can update his profile

and here is the urls.py

    path('<int:pk>/profile/update',user_views.UpdateProfile.as_view(), name='Update_Profile'),

[devout coral]

Ok, well I can tel you that error means that the field you are paso to the crispy forms filter is none. So do a print or something to ensure you have a form being passed.

[late gale]

nah it's working i've opened the shell and got that profile and whenever i say profile.user.username it shows that person's username

[devout coral]

Did you spell all the fields right?

[late gale]

i commented all the fields except the user so i can see if its doing ok

let me show you the models.py

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete= models.CASCADE)

    bio = models.TextField(max_length=300)

    Committees = (
        ('IT','IT'),
        ('Design','Design'),
        ('ER','ER'),
        ('Design','Design'),
        ('Marketing','Marketing'),
        ('Coaching','Coaching'),
        ('Media','Media'),
        ('Branding','Branding'),
    )
    committee = models.CharField(choices=Committees, max_length=10, default='')

    position_list = (
        ('Member', 'Member'),
        ('Head', 'Head'),
        ('Vice', 'Vice'),
        ('President', 'President'),
    )
    position = models.CharField(choices=position_list, max_length=10, default='Member')

    awards = models.TextField(max_length=300, null= True)

    experience = models.TextField(max_length=300, null=True)

    achievement = models.TextField(max_length=300, null=True)
    
    image = models.ImageField(default='default.jpg', upload_to='profile_pics')

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.user.username} Profile'

let me try to add all the fields and see if thats working

not working

[devout coral]

Ok since it looks like you have multiple things going on in that template can you comment out all the fields but one and then check. So we can narrow the issue down to one field.

Then we can start adding them back one at a time

[late gale]

sure

[cerulean forge]

guys i have an issue while using kivvy

[late gale]

ok now i commented all the fields except that

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
              {% csrf_token %}
              <div class="form-group col-md-4 mb-0" >
                {{ profile.user.image|as_crispy_field }}
              </div> 

[devout coral]

And you get the error?

[late gale]

yes

[devout coral]

Ok cool. Wait, that’s not a form field. That’s a model field

[late gale]

oh ok wait

let me comment it

cool so i commented the everything and the error is gone without any model field has been showing

now i uncommented form but commenetd the model field

and it works

so the problem should be in the model fields

[devout coral]

No

The problem is that a mode field cannot be used in a form

So it’s not the field itself

You need to make a form for it like a modelForm

[late gale]

so the model fields are causing this error

but why

[devout coral]

Yes, because they are not formFields. Crispy forms expects a form field. All you are doing is fetching the attribute by doing profile.user.image.

[late gale]

wait i believe i made a forms.py

[devout coral]

Ok, so just import the form in the view. Then instantiate it inside the class and pass it to the template

[late gale]

ok let me try

class ProfileUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    Committees = (
        ('IT','IT'),
        ('Design','Design'),
        ('ER','ER'),
        ('Design','Design'),
        ('Marketing','Marketing'),
        ('Coaching','Coaching'),
        ('Media','Media'),
        ('Branding','Branding'),
    )
    committee = forms.ChoiceField(choices=Committees, required=False)    


    class Meta:
        model = Profile
        fields = ['bio', 'image', 'position' ,'committee', 'achievement','awards', 'experience']

here is the forms.py
i believe the fields are added right ?

or shall i add it in the class itself

[devout coral]

Yes, is are you passing that form as profile?

[late gale]

yes thats it

i also want to display the email from the user from that class

class UserUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    email = forms.EmailField()
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'email']

and his username

lets just focus on the profile thing

[devout coral]

Ok could you just comment out everything in the form and replace it with {{ profile }} assuming the profile variable is the form itself

[late gale]

sure

[devout coral]

I just want to make sure you are actually passing that to the template

[late gale]

It's not showing the form fields but it shows the <username of the person> Profile

as a text

[devout coral]

Yep, I don’t think you are passing the form itself.

[late gale]

so you mean that profile isn't the form ?

its not showing the forms yes

it only shows the value

[devout coral]

Correct. Do {{ profile.get_cname }}

In template

[late gale]

nothing appears

I found that when i removed |as_crispy_fields it doesnt show the error

but still there are no forms

[devout coral]

Alright, I was trying to just ensure it was indeed the wrong object type by printing the class name

Yeah, I think you are not passing it the form. Post the view again please

[late gale]

ok

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/dariqenema.xml

[devout coral]

The view please

Where you have class blah blah

[late gale]

ooh srry

[devout coral]

No worries

[late gale]

class UpdateProfile(LoginRequiredMixin, UpdateView):
    model = Profile
    template_name = "users/update_profile.html"
    fields = ['user','bio','committee','position','awards','experience','image']

    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.instance.author = self.request.user
        return super().form_valid(form)

there

[devout coral]

Ok, I do not think you are able to pass more than one form to UpdateView

[late gale]

nah thats not the problem

i believe

[devout coral]

Where on there are you specifying which forms to use?

[late gale]

forms.py

let me send it to you

[devout coral]

No, in the view

Which line are you telling it which form to use

[late gale]

fields

[devout coral]

Because UpdateView creates a form for you based on the model you pass it.

Unless you tell it which for to use

[late gale]

i added the fields so it knows what forms to use

[devout coral]

Ok in you template do the following please.

Remove everything in the form tag and add {{ form }}

[late gale]

ok

they are showing but in weird way

[devout coral]

Yeah.

Because by default it will pass the form as form.

Now un comment the first field and replace it with the following. {{ form.position|as_crispy_field }}

[late gale]

ok let me try

oh it's showing

but the reason is why

why profile not showing but form is

[devout coral]

Ok let me explain

So basically by default UpdateView just takes a model and it will automatically create the form for you then pass it to the template as form. So you can access it in you template like so: {{ form }}

You can however make a custom form and tell the view to use it and also give it the name for the variable.

But it looks like You haven’t done either of those things.

[late gale]

ok here is another problem

i tried to view the update page from the second user but i believe that this user is not showing because the user.id is different than the profile's id not worked as the superuser which is me

it gives this error

i am really sorry for asking too many questions

let me see

[devout coral]

No problem at all.

I will be leaving soonish though.

So what is not working?

[late gale]

i beleive the problem is here

    {% if request.user.is_authenticated  %}
    <a href="{% url 'Update_Profile' user.id %}" class="btn btn-danger" style="position: relative; top: -50px;">Edit</a>
    {%else%}
    {% endif%}

[devout coral]

Yes, user.id will correspond to whoever is logged in.

[late gale]

when i changed it to profile.id not worked

let me try

yea not working

let me show u ther error

[devout coral]

Show me your urls too please

[late gale]

sure

    path('<int:pk>/profile/',user_views.UserProfile.as_view(), name='Profile'),
    path('<int:pk>/profile/update',user_views.UpdateProfile.as_view(), name='Update_Profile'),

[devout coral]

Yeah the problem is with what you are passing to the url

Ok one sec

[late gale]

fixed it

[devout coral]

Why are you passing the id to begin with?

[late gale]

waait

[devout coral]

Ok, how did you fix it?

[late gale]

i added this user.profile.id instead

as each user has profile and it gives the profile id to the url

as every user has different user id and different profile id

let me check on everything again

so we are done here

[devout coral]

So y out got it?

[late gale]

yeea thank you alot

i am checking now on everything

got a problem

xDDD

lol

{{ form.user.email|as_crispy_field }} the email is not passing

everything works except the email

[devout coral]

So remove crispy stuff see what you get

[late gale]

i need to add the email to the field i guess and add it to the forms.py

i got nothing

so how can i add the user's email to the field where its from different class

[vivid canopy]

hey guys wanna ask about css if i can position linear gradient in background?

[devout coral]

@late gale you would need a custom form and probably add to its save method.

@vivid canopy you can

@vivid canopy just set the background color using linear_gradient.

[late gale]

@vivid canopy here is a tutorial to help
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kWHW7da4U8

[devout coral]

@late gale are you using the Django default user?

[late gale]

nope

[vivid canopy]

ty guys gonna look at it

[late gale]

a user i created from the form

[devout coral]

@late gale No I mean the actual model itself

[late gale]

the account that i am currently logged in ?

[devout coral]

No, Im your models. How are you defining your user class?

[late gale]

i am not defining a user class in models.py i am defining them in forms.py

there

class UserRegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
    email = forms.EmailField()
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'email','password1', 'password2']


# USER UPDATE FORM!!
class UserUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    email = forms.EmailField()
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'email']

i wanna get that email from that class UserUpdateForm

[devout coral]

Ok I get that. But I think you should just have email as part of the user object. Along with the username.

Why not do that? This way you only have to worry about that one object when dealing with a users information.

[late gale]

elaborate please

[devout coral]

Plus it will make your view a lot easier.

Show me your models.py

[late gale]

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete= models.CASCADE)

    bio = models.TextField(max_length=300)

    Committees = (
        ('IT','IT'),
        ('Design','Design'),
        ('ER','ER'),
        ('Design','Design'),
        ('Marketing','Marketing'),
        ('Coaching','Coaching'),
        ('Media','Media'),
        ('Branding','Branding'),
    )
    committee = models.CharField(choices=Committees, max_length=10, default='')

    position_list = (
        ('Member', 'Member'),
        ('Head', 'Head'),
        ('Vice', 'Vice'),
        ('President', 'President'),
    )
    position = models.CharField(choices=position_list, max_length=10, default='Member')

    awards = models.TextField(max_length=300, null= True)

    experience = models.TextField(max_length=300, null=True)

    achievement = models.TextField(max_length=300, null=True)
    
    image = models.ImageField(default='default.jpg', upload_to='profile_pics')

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.user.username} Profile'
        

there

[devout coral]

Can you paste bin it. I’m on mobile and makes it easier to read a lot of code.

[late gale]

oh sure

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/budicelivu.py

there

[devout coral]

Thanks

One sec

Alright, yeah so you are just making a profile and having a OnetoOne relationship with profile. Now this is ok for something quick a dirty. But what you probably should be doing (specially to make your life a lot easier later) is to make a custom user model.

One that inherits from AbstractBaseUser

It sounds complicated and it really isn’t. This will allow for you to simply make one UpdateView pass it the user class(the custom one) and that is it. No need to make a form or anything.

[late gale]

so you mean i have to create a user custom model instead of the default one ?

but i don't want that it will change the regisration and the adminpage and everything doesn't it?

[devout coral]

Yeah it will.

I do not think you can have two separate forms in UpdateView.

I’m not sure though.

You can just make your own class view to handle the two different forms.

[late gale]

btw i believe {{form}} is not the correct method

when i say {{form.user}} it shows me the users who has a profile but what i wanted is a form that can change his username

let me see

[devout coral]

Yea, because it will not create a second form...

That’s what I am trying to say.

UpdateView is for one model. To update one Model.

[late gale]

what shall i use then

formview ?

let me try

[devout coral]

I think there is a multi form view class

[late gale]

nope there isnt

[vivid canopy]

sry mb bad said question i wanted to do this gradient colors to like rotate like whole that color section

[late gale]

no there is not @devout coral

[devout coral]

Alright, so make your own class to have two forms and save the results.

However, I think you are better off making a custom user.

[late gale]

let me see something

[devout coral]

@late gale well good luck, message me if anything but I might not be able to respond.

[late gale]

thanks i am trying to see another way

trying to work the update button

[devout coral]

Alright, also once y py solve it. I’d like to know how you did so let me know (ping me)

[late gale]

thanks ^^

[swift trout]

don't worry getting there

[late gale]

@devout coral hey i found that update button only works without crispy fields but i want it to work with crispy fields so i can use css and js

here is the template

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/panodupeca.xml

idk why

like really why doesnt the button work

[unborn dust]

hello
let's talk about why is elasticsearch, (django-elasticsearch-dsl) being a PITA today
so I have a nested field on my model, which is being populated, and has it's mapping type defined
and every time the index updates, that fields gets disappeared 🙂
i cant figure out why it keeps happening

[devout coral]

@late gale manually bind it to the form. Set the id property for the form. Then set the form property for the button to the same as the form’s is

[late gale]

what do you mean

elaborate please

@devout coral

[devout coral]

@late gale like so:

<form action=“” id=“someForm”>
        <button type=“submit” form=“someForm”>Submit<\button>
<\form>

[late gale]

oh so they both have the same id?

ok

let me try

[devout coral]

No, the form has an id then you set which button the submit goes to with the form property.

Sorry, on mobile. Had to edit.

[late gale]

still not working

[devout coral]

Is it not submitting?

[late gale]

yes its not

[native tide]

I don't think you need to set the form attribute for the button for it to be linked to a form.

Btw what is the original problem?

[late gale]

the button doesnt submit

[devout coral]

@native tide you don’t.

Just testing

@late gale try manually setting the forms action to the url.

[native tide]

form method="post"

do that

[late gale]

still

[devout coral]

@native tide that should not matter. I use POST all the time.

@late gale did you try setting the action url?

[late gale]

let me try

it says page not found

let me show you the code

[devout coral]

Well it’s submitting now

Did you use the url tag?

[native tide]

Yeah I don't see why it wouldn't be submitting.

You can see if it's making POST requests, is it?

[devout coral]

It just did. They set the action on it and it posted. Now they are getting page not found error.

[native tide]

Yeah so thats not the issue

[late gale]

wait let me see

[devout coral]

It was not posting before now it posted.... it was no?

[late gale]

not submiting

it only submitted while i changed use this instead idk why

[devout coral]

@late gale did you not just get a page not found error? How did you get that without posting?

[native tide]

what leads you to think it's not submitting

[late gale]

                {{ form|crispy}}
              </div>

                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger ">Update</button>
                    
                </form>
              </div>
        </div>
    </header>
</div>

{% endblock content%}

Whenever i used this the button submit

otherwise not

[devout coral]

@late gale set the action property on the form and try it.

[native tide]

forms can be in the header?

[late gale]

@native tide the page keeps refreshed while it should redirect me to the profile page with the new updates

i did set an action and didnt

let me show you

            <form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="{% url 'Update_Profile' profile.id %}">
              {% csrf_token %}   
              <div class="form-group col-md-4 mb-0" >
...

[native tide]

so when you submit that form, what is the URL it's trying to redirect to (you should see this in your logs)?

[late gale]

shall i set the action="" to the link that should be redirected too ?

let me try

[devout coral]

No, just look at the terminal where the server is running for the post request being sent.

[native tide]

well the action attribute redirects you to the specified URL when you submit the form. And as said ^ you can see where it's trying to redirect you

[late gale]

i did set the action to the redirected page but it shows me white screen

i believe that means that the button is not submitted

[native tide]

You submitted the form and it redirected you, so it did submit. You could've just checked your logs and see that it's making post requests

[devout coral]

What are you logs showing? Where you ran python manage.py runserver

It should tell you which url it went to which can tell you which view it is trying to use

[late gale]

guys just listen the button submit here

{% extends 'base/base.html' %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% load static %}
{% block content%}
<div class="profile-body">
    <header>
        <div class="container">
          <div class="col mt-5">
            <form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
              {% csrf_token %}       
              <div class="form-group col-md-4 mb-0" >
                {{ form|crispy}}
              </div>

                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger ">Update</button>
                    
                </form>
              </div>
        </div>
    </header>
</div>

{% endblock content%}

and it doesnt submit in my template

although there is no action

[native tide]

When there is no action the page will just refresh. The form will not redirect anywhere

What do you mean by "doesn't submit", what are you trying to get from the form?

[late gale]

it will be redirected because i used UpdateView which redirects url when u use get_absolute_url in the models.py

i am trying to make the form update the data

[upper gorge]

yo

can anyone here help with cyclical import

im very new to flask tryna make a blog

[native tide]

Ok so have you set up your view to handle the form data?

@upper gorge use blueprints

[devout coral]

@late gale Could you just post the log? So we can see what view it is going to?

[upper gorge]

@upper gorge use blueprints
@native tide i do not understand blueprints, maybe i just gotta sleep on it

[late gale]

ok let me post the log

[upper gorge]

ive been working on the design for well over 4-5 hours today so

ill try tomorrow

[late gale]

[07/Nov/2020 23:40:39] "POST /en/16/profile/update HTTP/1.1" 200 13427

there

the Post request

[native tide]

Yeah when I was learning blueprints I didn't get it either, watch some good explanatory videos on it and practice that helped me. But the blueprints do fix the cyclical imports for sure @upper gorge

So yeah, it's submitting

[upper gorge]

Yeah when I was learning blueprints I didn't get it either, watch some good explanatory videos on it and practice that helped me. But the blueprints do fix the cyclical imports for sure @upper gorge
@native tide yeah tysm

[late gale]

then why the data isnt saved and its not redirected

[devout coral]

@late gale so it’s posting and returning a 200 status code. So check that view and look at what template you are trying to render.

[native tide]

@late gale when you submit a form, you need to handle the data in your view (that is where you will save the data). The form does not save it - it just sents data from the client to the server

[late gale]

but when i use this template it does redirects me and saves the form

{% extends 'base/base.html' %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% load static %}
{% block content%}
<div class="profile-body">
    <header>
        <div class="container">
          <div class="col mt-5">
            <form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
              {% csrf_token %}       
              <div class="form-group col-md-4 mb-0" >
                {{ form|crispy}}
              </div>

                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger ">Update</button>
                    
                </form>
              </div>
        </div>
    </header>
</div>

{% endblock content%}

[devout coral]

@late gale wait... you form is rendering properly? You are including crispy form tags but using a crispy filter that does not exist. The syntax should look like the following:

{% crispy form %}

[late gale]

let me try

it doesnt show probably

[devout coral]

it doesnt show probably
@late gale ? What does not show?

[late gale]

wait

the button is not clickable now and the page doesnt refresh

wait

oh yes the button isnt

[devout coral]

The button is not what?

[late gale]

submitting

and the page isnt refreshing

it just clickable

even i added an action and still

[devout coral]

But the form is there right?

[late gale]

yes

[devout coral]

And when you click the button nothing shows up in the logs right?

[late gale]

let me see

nothing yes

[devout coral]

So now try doing the id thing I mentioned earlier and see if it posts.

[late gale]

ok

[devout coral]

By see if it posts I mean look at the logs to see if anything shows

[late gale]

it worked great but why it doesnt work on the crispy fields

[devout coral]

What do you mean?

You are using crispy tag so all the fields are crispy

[late gale]

when i used {{form.bio|as_crispy_field}} the button wasn't working

i wanted to adjust every field

[devout coral]

Idk. Now go through and try it.

[late gale]

but it's fine the crispy form looks nice

[devout coral]

And add one field at a time this time

[late gale]

ok let me try the field

[devout coral]

Maybe a field you are passing there is something wrong with it idk.

[late gale]

maybe

let me see

it doesnt although every form is showing

but its fine

the crispy form looks nice

[devout coral]

I don’t quite follow.

Ok cool

Glad you got it

[late gale]

yea thank you @devout coral

and thank you alot @native tide

[torpid pecan]

Anyone know if you can deploy a python app on Cpanel with bluehost?

Im having some troubles

[cold haven]

Hello

I used bluehost for WordPress

Not sure

I didn't host on aws or azure for example because WordPress recommended them as the number 1 hosting for their CMS

[torpid pecan]

Do you have a recommendation for deploying a Django app

[cold haven]

Docker

Put it into a docker container and deploy

I think I have tutorial saved, brb

Take your pick. There are plenty of tutorials online

[torpid pecan]

Are you only able to host a Django app on a VPS server? not shared.

[rough silo]

Anyone recommend a good resource for learning/setting up a user account system in flask?

[near bison]

Flask tutorial by corry schafer might work.

Is the stuff like tax percentage stored in the db ? it's a single value (ex 2%) ? a non developer should be able to change the value from an interface such as django admin app

Any tips on how to homehosy django websites? Windows

I just changed the <a> to <p> so no worries
@vernal furnace solved?

[vernal furnace]

no

I FIXED IT!

The problem was object.bedrooms, object.bedrooms was a class that only worked for certain forms, it wasn't supposed to work on home.html, so the solution was post.bedrooms

[vernal furnace]

anyone knows how to add that line?https://gyazo.com/4427481cac46352c4d9e7ae1839d9234

can you guys think of a reason why css wont load on the new page when i use extend? I tried to copy/paste the whole html code and still its not loading the css on the new page

[quick cargo]

cache

[native tide]

@halcyon lion CTRL + F5 in the browser

[halcyon lion]

😁

[native tide]

uhmm, ok. That is something that a lot of people stumble upon, so what is your issue?

[halcyon lion]

It's just baffling how the same html copied on another html file is not working

So I wanted to extend the page using header and footer from base page and get a register form in the middle

I loaded static

I did everything and it doesn't load any css for the base.html

[warm igloo]

@halcyon lion So, anything in the browser console? Like maybe a 404 for the css file? Check the path, maybe something isn't as you think it is.

however when I do this the file remains empty even though it is properly created. any ideas?

(btw it works locally)

also everything else works fine like file serving / content generation

[severe burrow]

w+ means create a new file every time its launched

so it might just be getting wiped out

is that all of the relevant logging code?

[next rock]

yes but the new file only gets created if it doesn't already exist

even when just that logging code runs it should have the "started at" entry

[native tide]

Why not “a” instead of “w+”?

What python version are you running on namecheap?

Needs to be 3.6+

yo im having a problem with selenium (python,windows 10): so this is an element that im using in my code:
'//*[@id="itemCardmarket_0"]/text()' and there is text embedded within the element but since it has that "text()" end part i cant print the text thats in the element, so how would i change it to where i can print the text of my element even with the "text()" thing at the end?

can I use flask to hook my code with a website

ok ty

or is there any way to do that?

thanks

[vestal hound]

can I use flask to hook my code with a website
@native tide what do you mean

[native tide]

Like if a user clicks on something it triggers my code

lime

Like

[vestal hound]

yeah that's basically what Flask does

when the user visits a URL

it triggers a function

in your Flask app

[native tide]

From

top.gg
If someone clicks on a button it

print("hi you clicked on the buttor on the website called top.gg)

the already built websites

Or taking pictures from reddit

hello

So I am using Django forms alongside Html

when validation if the form isnt valid then all the content of the form is reset

this is what I have like the error is issued but then the content previously entered is reset

how to prevent this?

pls ping me when help

thanks!

views.py

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        register_form = RegisterForm(request.POST)
        if register_form.is_valid():
            register_form.save()
            # redirect to homepage after registration

            pass
    else:
        register_form = RegisterForm()
    return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': register_form})```

this is how I check for errors and validate the form

Any ideas why subprocess doesn't work inside uWSGI?

[native tide]

@twilit needle if the form does not send render it again with request.POST

[topaz finch]

Is it possible to run an Aiohttp websocket on a flask app? And if so, how? @ me when responding please.

[quick cargo]

@rapid bramble probably cuz uwsgi is not allowing child processes in order to ensure process management

@topaz finch is it possible? Yes, should you do it -> Fuck no

[rapid bramble]

Hmm I see, nvm I switched to gunicorn and did a bit of code tweak

Works perfectly now 😄

[topaz finch]

@topaz finch is it possible? Yes, should you do it -> Fuck no
@quick cargo why would you recommend not doing it?

[quick cargo]

because you're mixing a Sync framework with a async system

[halcyon lion]

Refused to apply style from 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/register/static/css/style.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.

[native tide]

give me some ideas for django ..

[viral matrix]

ecommerce

[topaz finch]

@quick cargo so my websocket server is going to be connected to a client application. The intention is essentially to make interaction quicker. Currently, the flask app would have to make http requests to the websocket server to receive info from the other app, and to give it info. If I connected the flask app as well, it would essentially just be to receive some basic data from the other application, and to send info to the other app, in a way that wouldnt involve http requests. Essentially, just replacing http requests w/ websocket requests. I can do either, just thinking that having both ends connected to websocket server would be nice. How would I go about doing it either way, can you point me in the direction so that I can do more research on this as well?

@ me when responding, and thank you for your time and feedback.

[quick cargo]

then rewrite it in async using a async lib. Flask is slow same with Django no way to get around that. @topaz finch

[topaz finch]

That would not be a small process 👀

[rustic pebble]

@topaz finch You can use Quart which is almost identical to flask

And its async

[topaz finch]

how hard would conversion be? This is not a small app.

[rustic pebble]

It will take time

[topaz finch]

would this mostly be replacing decorators and such, or..

hmm

[rustic pebble]

It will mostly be replacing decorators and things, but some core processes are done differently since it is async

What app are you building?

[topaz finch]

What types of speed increases are we talking about here? I will look into a full replacement, but if not, I may at least replace my API with async webapp.

[rustic pebble]

I am not sure wha toyu want to do

Are you looking to communicate between 2 webservers?

[native tide]

web dev meme

[topaz finch]

@rustic pebble No, flask web server an an async bot application.

[rustic pebble]

You mean a discord bot?

@topaz finch

[topaz finch]

yes

[rustic pebble]

Haha

You can do the following:

Run the bot and an async quart server on the same loop, that way you can communicate with the flask server with no problem

and its really easy as well

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.create_task(client.start('token_here'))
    app.run(loop=loop, port=3000, host='0.0.0.0')

That simple ^^

Then divide the client and the app into different folders and work on them independently

That way you can have a setup like this:

[topaz finch]

I am admittedly new to the world of asyncio and aiohttp. So far I have been using an.. unconventional and bootleg way for website -> bot communication, which is why I am making this websocket. Even the current way will vastly improve communication, but just checking if there is anything else I should do.

Well wouldnt that still involve http requests?

[rustic pebble]

Why do you consider http requests

bad?

[topaz finch]

I dont really. Http requests to communicate w/ my bot are way better than my last method

[rustic pebble]

Http requests are really fast

For this sort of thing

[topaz finch]

right

[rare zinc]

can someone help me out with web requests
i wanna get info from bazaartracker.com and use the values for a, b, and c variables but idk how to

choice = str(input("What Minion do you wish to calculate the price of?   >>>   "))

if choice == "wheat":
    a = float(input("What is the price of wheat?  >  "))
    b = float(input("What is the price of hay bale?  >  "))
    c = float(input("What is the price of enchanted haybale?  >  "))

[rustic pebble]

I am not really sure of the size of your project

But I have done some pretty big projects usingt hat method

[quick cargo]

dont run a bot and a webserver in the same process 😩

[topaz finch]

Ill look into quart, because you are right in that it looks VERY similar to Flask, and your method certainly has merit. If I had known about it in first place I probably would have started there, but I also already have the websocket server and client partially set up and tested, so it just depends. I sincerely appreciate your time on this, and all the feedback, it has been enlightening. I think I will replace at least some of my current flask app w/ Quart, because just from basic lookup it seems like itll be faster.

[quick cargo]

Quart is litterally a drop in replacement other than the async await keywords

but yeah

[rustic pebble]

dont run a bot and a webserver in the same process 😩
I used to to think that as well

But for like

really simple http requests you can use it

[quick cargo]

but by that point its easier to just run it seperately

[rustic pebble]

Although you can tap directly into discord and not use the http thing

[quick cargo]

and use a gateway or smth

[rustic pebble]

No, its not easier

Trust me

Its a 3 line thing

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.create_task(client.start('token_here'))
    app.run(loop=loop, port=3000, host='0.0.0.0')

That simple ^^

[quick cargo]

ik it is but it doesnt mean you should 😩

[rustic pebble]

I know its not best practice

But it does its work

[topaz finch]

Well my current websocket system allows for my flask app to easily make requests for information and such from the bot, and serve them very quickly in the same http request. I have a framework partially set up for events from flask to my bot as well, so I think I am going to continue on that.

[rustic pebble]

@topaz finch You know you can tap directly into discord api rgiht?

Thats what the bot does anyway

[topaz finch]

yes

[quick cargo]

you looked at https://github.com/Ext-Creators/discord-ext-ipc

and also yeah what kiwi said

[topaz finch]

I am aware that discord.py makes its own websocket connection, have done a lot of browsing through it while ive been going through this process.

[rustic pebble]

Take some time reading the docs

[quick cargo]

thats not the same as what i just linked btw

[rustic pebble]

You can also do it through http

https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro

[topaz finch]

A discord bot using http requests

[rustic pebble]

No

[quick cargo]

meanwhile im sat here with a custom gateway 😎 Website and Bot bot seeing the same thing

[rustic pebble]

You can scrape the discord bot entirely

and tap into the discord api directly

[quick cargo]

aka what patreon do to add roles to people

[rustic pebble]

What you can do to do pretty much everything

Its dead easy

[topaz finch]

the discord http api isnt as powerful as gateway tho from what ive seen. Not as many options. But I dont know why I have not considered directly tapping into the gateway from the flask app itself tbh. THough either way I still need the bot and website to communicate, as the website serves as a basic dashboard for server owners as well, so I need to send those settings to the bot itself.

[rustic pebble]

the discord http api

[topaz finch]

@rustic pebble ik because I already use the http api for discord

[rustic pebble]

is what the discord.py wrapper uses

[quick cargo]

the majority of the discord api is via HTTP

only events are via WS because they have to be

[rustic pebble]

true

[topaz finch]

right

[quick cargo]

balancing WS are way hard to manage than HTTP which is why the majority of stuff is done with HTTP where they can

[topaz finch]

true.

[rustic pebble]

Because websockets are a lot, lot lower level than http reqs

[quick cargo]

eh not really

but they're mostly stateful which is 😩

[rustic pebble]

You can make an http request with a websocket

[quick cargo]

websockets are http requests

just with a upgraded connection to keep the socket alive

[rustic pebble]

and more they need extra headers

and shit

[quick cargo]

not really

[rustic pebble]

fuck that, websockets suck, only for live chat

[topaz finch]

um they can definitely be helpful in many situations tho

[quick cargo]

websockets technically after they've been established require alot less than http requests which is why theyre generally quicker

[rustic pebble]

Yes

I have never really ever needed websockets too much, I have done huge projects and none of them explicitly required websockets, although in some cases for UX websockets were better

[topaz finch]

Ill definitely do more research based on everything you guys have mentioned, I appreciate the advice

[rustic pebble]

Hi, I have some miscellaneous questions about production file uploads that I haven't been able to find an answer for.

Say you have a form with 2 inputs. One takes an image that is less than 1MiB and a video that is less than 250MiB.

• Should I use client side validation to confirm the file sizes, server size validation of the file sizes, and also set the endpoint max upload size in the webserver configuration to say 252MiB?

I want the image to be 1920x1080 or smaller. I could do client side validation on the resolution, accept the file upload, if it passes the webserver file size check, check the resolution, then return an error if the image is larger than this limit, but I want to allow the user to upload a larger image, and have the web app handle shrinking it.

• How do I ensure that after the resize operation, the resulting file is under 1MiB?
• How should I determine the max dimension for me to try resizing? If the user tries to resize a 10000x10000 image that is under 1MiB (like an all-white PNG), my server will run out of memory.
• How do I account for the possability that multiple users could trigger image resizes at the same time, using up a lot of memory? Do I need to queue these operations somehow?

For the video, I want to be able to serve the uploaded video to other users and have them be able to play it correctly. I can validate the size and extension, but there is a lot of weird codecs/tracks/pixel formats that you can put into .mp4 files that will make the video not play correctly on almost any device

• Do you pretty much always need to re-encode user-uploaded videos?
• How do I make sure that the video will not cause memory issues when I try to resize it?
• How do I account for the possability that multiple users could trigger video re-encodes at the same time, using up a lot of memory? Do I need to queue these operations somehow?

These all seem like issues that sites like Facebook/Instagram/Twitter would all need to be dealing with, but I can't find answers to these question online. Any ideas or resource recommendations? Thanks

With the image resizing, is that something that should be done client-side instead?

[rustic pebble]

• Should I use client side validation to confirm the file sizes, server size validation of the file sizes, and also set the endpoint max upload size in the webserver configuration to say 252MiB?
  No, do it server-side, you can pass the metadata if you don't want the user to upload the file to your server since that would increase workload, on the other hand best bet for 100% security that no one is going to upload a 5gb file is that you let them upload it first, analyze it in the server and then come back with a reply, either the file is valid meaning it doesn't exceed your limits or the file is invalid.

• How do I ensure that after the resize operation, the resulting file is under 1MiB?
  There are modules out there that can compress images to the exact filesize you want, I am missing the names right now but you can find them with one google search for sure

How should I determine the max dimension for me to try resizing? If the user tries to resize a 10000x10000 image that is under 1MiB (like an all-white PNG), my server will run out of memory.
Same way you would do with the file size validation, let him upload it and check it server-side.
You could perform a client-side check but be sure that it can be tampered with

• How do I account for the possability that multiple users could trigger image resizes at the same time, using up a lot of memory? Do I need to queue these operations somehow?
  You need to create a queue, most webserver frameworks try to stack the requests resulting in a memory overflow thus possibly crashing the server

• How do I make sure that the video will not cause memory issues when I try to resize it?
  You need to set some limits, you can easily calculate the size of the video and then act accordingly

• How do I account for the possability that multiple users could trigger video re-encodes at the same time, using up a lot of memory? Do I need to queue these operations somehow?
  Same answer as earlier

@lofty matrix

[lofty matrix]

Thanks @rustic pebble

No, do it server-side, you can pass the metadata if you don't want the user to upload the file to your server since that would increase workload, on the other hand best bet for 100% security that no one is going to upload a 5gb file is that you let them upload it first, analyze it in the server and then come back with a reply, either the file is valid meaning it doesn't exceed your limits or the file is invalid.
My thought around client size + server application side + webserver side size validation is
client side: Instantly gives error if invalid file is uploaded
server application side: If a user is bypassing the client side validation, this would catch, say, a 100MiB image and a 100MiB video upload attempt
webserver side: Avoids hanging the web application in cases where there is no way the content is valid.
Am I thinking of something wrong here?

You need to create a queue, most webserver frameworks try to stack the requests resulting in a memory overflow thus possibly crashing the server
The queue could be full of other work for the next 10 minutes. Do I need to design the application such that this can be done outside of the request-response cycle? (Add the image job the the queue, return a response to the user that says "your image is being processed. Check back later", and eventually have the image resized once it goes through the queue?

[quick cargo]

I wouldnt rely on the front end / client validating size

because you can easily get around that

and just bypass it by hitting the server directly

what you should do is stream the body not read it all at once checking the content-length header if applicable or if it's a chunked encoding method check the chunk size first to make sure it doesnt go over the limit

In the url and the django rest api framework pull, the foreign key comes out as an url rather than just the username "bname": "Spotify", "bamount": "10.00", "duedate": "2020-10-20", "user_id": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/logout/3/"

@native tide but in the database I believe it comes out as the username, or at least the user's ID. Here the 3 is the user ID

@rare zinc do you use something like this? https://www.pythonforbeginners.com/python-on-the-web/web-scraping-with-beautifulsoup

[rare zinc]

output is none

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.183 Safari/537.36'}

page = requests.get("https://bazaartracker.com/product/hay_bale/", headers=headers)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')


print(soup.find("h2", {"class":"buyprice"}))

@rare zinc wait sorry I was doing the wrong thing

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.183 Safari/537.36'}

page = requests.get("https://bazaartracker.com/product/hay_bale/")
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')


print(soup.find("h2", {"id":"buyprice"}))

now

i think that's a placeholder for input.

maybe instead of reading to it you should be writing to it.

Hey yo guys! i am 15 and i have the basics of programming and fundamentals ready. I want to know which is the best free way to get started and learn web dev

[severe venture]

I am trying to use flask to make an API. It works and can get data from my db (only does GET), but it returns a list of dicts (which I suppose is correct behavior). I want it to return a dict of dicts (or a json of jsons) because i plan to use it for a js app. I want to set the name of each dict to be equal to a field value from the pull.

I start with

[
  {'id_': 669551, 'rank': 153, 'pokemon': 'snorunt', 'usage_pct': 0.07347, 'raw_usage': 104, 'raw_pct': 0.127, 'real': 96, 'real_pct': 0.148, 'dex': 361, 'date': '2020-04', 'tier': 'gen8lc-1500'}, 
  {'id_': 669552, 'rank': 154, 'pokemon': 'milcery', 'usage_pct': 0.0672, 'raw_usage': 108, 'raw_pct': 0.131, 'real': 87, 'real_pct': 0.134, 'dex': 868, 'date': '2020-04', 'tier': 'gen8lc-1500'}, 
  {'id_': 669553, 'rank': 156, 'pokemon': 'cosmog', 'usage_pct': 0.0199, 'raw_usage': 26, 'raw_pct': 0.032, 'real': 19, 'real_pct': 0.029, 'dex': 789, 'date': '2020-04', 'tier': 'gen8lc-1500'}
]

and want to get to:

[
  'snorunt': {'id_': 669551, 'rank': 153, 'pokemon': 'snorunt', 'usage_pct': 0.07347, 'raw_usage': 104, 'raw_pct': 0.127, 'real': 96, 'real_pct': 0.148, 'dex': 361, 'date': '2020-04', 'tier': 'gen8lc-1500'}, 
  'milcery': {'id_': 669552, 'rank': 154, 'pokemon': 'milcery', 'usage_pct': 0.0672, 'raw_usage': 108, 'raw_pct': 0.131, 'real': 87, 'real_pct': 0.134, 'dex': 868, 'date': '2020-04', 'tier': 'gen8lc-1500'}, 
  'cosmog': {'id_': 669553, 'rank': 156, 'pokemon': 'cosmog', 'usage_pct': 0.0199, 'raw_usage': 26, 'raw_pct': 0.032, 'real': 19, 'real_pct': 0.029, 'dex': 789, 'date': '2020-04', 'tier': 'gen8lc-1500'}
]

is there a way to do this natively in flask or will i just have to python it away? (it's not that difficult but, less work is less work)

oof sorry for the big post

[native tide]

iss fine

but do help me please

[severe venture]

start coding

there's loads of free tutorials just google CRUD tutorial and go from there

pick one of django or flask (or probably some others) but those are the two most popular

[native tide]

thank you so much!!!!

[severe venture]

flask is pretty simple, django can get in the weeds fast
