With r/python out for the next 48 hours, here’s a post to promote continuing discussion a language we all love. Python.
I’m currently working on two book downloaders, one for audiobooks and one for ebooks.
Wicked, I’m gonna try it out! Just now restoring my old nook
A desktop music player. My goal is for it to work with all kinds of sources like youtube, spotify, and soundcloud.
Is it gonna whip the llama’s ass?
TIL. Yes, it will be whipping the llama’s ass.
Sweet. I’d be down to test it when it’s nearing readiness.
Dang, I had an idea much like this but kept getting turned off by the GUI design and lost interest. I would be very interested in this if you’re ever up for sharing it.
I’ve been working on a telegram bot that lets me talk to ChatGPT
That’s cool, I’ve actually been working on a discord bot that also talks to ChatGPT.
I’ve never used telegram but it sounds similarly useful.
What’s the cost for chatgpt’s API? I’d love to make my own chatgpt bot
Very low if you’re just using it yourself and if you’re just chatting with it. You’re charged per token (roughly a word). They just decreased the prices a bit as well. I haven’t paid more than like $5 in a month, usually less than $2. If you use things like autogpt and whatnot that automate and repeatedly call chatgpt, you can use up a lot of tokens though.
Lots and lots at work…
But my only real side project right now is a scheduler and supervisor… “If cron and supervisord had a super-powered love child”.
I’m very close to releasing v1 so I’m not gonna jinx it by revealing too much, but it’s already in production use by two companies, one of which is enterprise-level, using it to process MASSIVE data somewhere in the entertainment industry… and yes, it’s gonna be FOSS, with MIT license.
It emphasizes a declarative approach to reproducing clusters of orchestrated job-runners on low-cost cloud infrastructure. Makes it easy to scale and even map-reduce.
Includes 3 interfaces: CLI (for everything), API (for most things), and UI (for most things).
It’s gonna be sick heheh. I’ll be sure to come back here once you can
pip installit.ah yes, i have been trying to configure my crons and supervisord the right way and its such a pain in the butt. I would be EXTREMELY interested in trying/using it out. Also if you need any help let me know : )
Throughout my IT career when it came to troubleshooting mail delivery problems I typically always started with this website over the years some of the servers stopped working for me which lead me to start looking to create something similar but with python (and potentially incorporate it pyscript). I’ve only gotten about 25% done and now always I don’t seem to have as much time to wire in and continue working on it but eventually I’m hoping to get something like this going again and potentially host it for the world to use.
I’ve been using scanpy in my biomedical engineering research! Basically allows me to analyze the RNA expressed in single cells and see things like what functional phenotype these cells can be, how they have developed, in addition to spatial information on their arrangement.
I’ve been having fun making Discord bots that use ChatGPT to generate various things. Stuff like giving tarot readings, creating custom MtG cards and whatnot. Nothing too crazy, but it’s been fun to play around with.
What wrapper are you using for your bot? I dabbled with discord.py for a while, but the slash-command drama sorta killed my motivation.
That’s the one I use - I wasn’t aware of any drama.
Well I suppose that’s good then. It was effectively killing the project last I read about it.
Switched jobs recently. So I’m building templates before I get bogged down. I took the opportunity to switch to poetry and pyproject.toml instead of setup.py which I’m liking. I got my file loader ETL template complete. Right now I’m trying to get a fastapi webbackend template. I’m used to nodejs & express for this and I’m finding fastapi is pretty similar. I got oauth2 working with the companies LDAP but right now I’m struggling to find good documentation for jwt with refresh tokens.
not exactly working on (it’s mostly complete), but I made an online level browser for I Wanna Maker game.
I’m doing a python introduction course, I’ve made a hangman game and caeser cypher builder so far. It’s just started getting into dictionaries so it would probably have something to do with that
Dictionaries are awesome! There are also Collections.defaultDict that you need to import specifically, but lets you assign values before the keys exist. Quite handy.
Currently working on the backend for an RSS news feed web app. It’s been interesting building xml and html parsers to extract news article content.
Currently working on a massive cookiecutter template to scaffold into all kinds of python projects, including ML, API/backend work, GUIs, python SDKs and such. The fun part is actually about configuring all of the dependencies and make it as modular as possible, giving the choice between poetry and pdm for the dependency management, black and yapf for the formatting, pyflakes, ruff and pylama for the linting etc.
I’m rewriting a site of single-page tools from Flask to Django. I need user roles management as I plan to open the site up to customers/vendors. It’s nothing fancy, mostly calling and processing other peoples’ APIs. I’m not a SysAdmin at all, and the most basic AWS set up stuff is taking up way more of my time than I’d anticipated! lol.
One-man operation, so there’s no DevOps to help or anything. I’m not even a dev, I just make tools to do what I need.
I’m not even a dev
Said every developer
I develop things, but I’m not paid specifically to do it or trained in it, is what I mean. Plus I’m bad at it.
Imposter syndrome is too real, though.
I’ve been making a simple 8-bit game with the pygamer board from adafruit/digikey and CircuitPython. It’s incredible to be able to run python on microcontrollers and it’s a really simple workflow, though customizing your environment can be a little difficult when working on a constrained platform.
I made a script using flask to generate an Opening and a Closing report based on stuff i did through chatgpt, then if i like it i can send it to our slack channel with one click. I am a very introverted person and hate communicating lol.
On the main “script” i have lots of microservices, including an overview of my stocks (gain,price, and return in euros instead of dollars) and a location updater for people at work since again i hate talking to people and they can see what i am up to.
