This article aims to report the current state of research about dealing with both JS and Django, for people that aim to primarly deal with Django and enjoy the same workflow they have with python package with their frontend development, and find patterns to connect them while keeping them loosely coupled at whatever limit feels right for them. Nuff said, let’s hack ! crudlfap relies on django-webpack-loader, which does its job very well. Read More

https://gitlab.com/nerdocs/gdaps GDAPS - Generic Django Apps Plugin System Awesome app by Christian González, undergoing research & development for frontend framework plugin EPIC !!! This is the README so far: This library allows Django to make real “pluggable” apps. A standard Django “app” is reusable (if done correctly), but is not really pluggable, like being distributed and “plugged” into a Django main application without modifications. CAVE: This software is in a very early development state. Read More

Well that’s a nice way to automate backups and rollbacks during my deploys and make another CI Dev-Perfect(tm)

https://pypi.org/project/shyml/ Sh and Yml had a baby : ShYml.

In kubernetes, we have the joy of applying configuration directly from maintainer repositories: kubectl apply -f https://raw.github.../setup.yml This allows each repository to maintain its own infrastructure configuration as code, and maintaining a core devops framework in between. You will have to deal with particular credentials, that you should use something else to generate and so on. On the other side of internet, happy docker-composers are also having a lot of fun maintaining them in repositories they contribute to. Read More

The new version of yourlabs/python docker image, which bundles npm and pip3 on alpine and a bunch of testing tools, was released with bandit and safety baked in. You can benefit from it in your Open Source software by adding .gitlab-ci.yml: py-sec-bandit: image: yourlabs/python script: bandit -v -x commands,tests {posargs:-r src} py-sec-safety: image: yourlabs/python script: safety check

https://pypi.org/project/mapjoin/ Find str.join boring ? Try mapjoin ^^ Have a great day ;)

https://github.com/TriOptima/tri.form An alternative to django forms that works with django models and offers a lot of unfrustrating features, tri.form by Anders Hovmöller. Make sure that you also take a look to all their other apps which are pretty interesting !

Still in the competition for most code coverage with least test code that is written manually and needs to be maintained manually, all our test autowriting software has been updated to support a new environment variable : FIXTURE_REWRITE. Instead of deleting fixtures manually to regenerate them by running the tests, you can now just run your tests with the FIXTURE_REWRITE env var. This will overwrite the fixtures and make the tests look like it passed. Read More

https://github.com/zsimic/setupmeta If you’re unhappy with the current state of your setup.py, you should definitely try setupmeta by famous haxor Zoran Simic. I’ve been upgrading my setup.py to setupmeta, which gives me 10 times more useful features than the crappy script I had in my delivery pipelines, and I’m going directly with setupmeta for all new packages. So far, we have at least the following packages with setupmeta (probably more): - cli2 - shyml - djcli - crudlfap - playlabs Even if you don’t maintain python packages, I highly recommend that you check setupmeta because it’s really well thought of.
