The requirements are very simple: - parent goes to site and registers their child's info (name, DOB, allergies, emergency contact, etc.) - admins (teachers) can see registrations, search, filter, etc. - admins can export and print registration list I know Python pretty well, so that's not a problem, but I've always used it in a systems programming context for work, I've not done much web stuff. I'm pretty sure I should choose a Python web framework to do this. I've taken some quick looks, and I think maybe Django is the tool. But I see Pyramid, flask, and others being mentioned, and I'm having a hard time deciding on something. For the task I describe above should I: - write it in a framework? (and which one should I use?) - write it in pure python? (e.g. FastCGI or something similar) - go with some other option? It would be so awesome if someone's written something similar that I can reuse, I'd like minimize the amount of code I write. The end users of the system will be parents (who sign up their kids), and teachers who would login and see the data, so pretty much all non-technical people. Also, if possible, we'd like to reuse the system for other similar school-related events in the future.

Pick one framework, and invest the time in learning it, and go with that. I don't advise doing something from scratch with FastCGI. For example, if you go with Django + Postgres database, and invest the time in learning that, I think you will be pleased with what you can build. -- Craig On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 1:42 PM, Aleksandr Miroslav wrote: > I need to whip up a quick registration system for a small summer school > program my wife is part of. > > The requirements are very simple: > > - parent goes to site and registers their child's info (name, DOB, > allergies, emergency contact, etc.) > - admins (teachers) can see registrations, search, filter, etc. > - admins can export and print registration list > > I know Python pretty well, so that's not a problem, but I've always used > it in a systems programming context for work, I've not done much web stuff. > > I'm pretty sure I should choose a Python web framework to do this.

Were I in your shoes (and I've often been, in my spare time, since I have permission from Google to develop open source on my own time and equipment and ended up doing so pretty often over the years), I'd pick a lightweight framework (I'm fond of webapp2, but it's not really being kept up to date these days; so, popular flask, upstart bottle, or new super-light http://falconframework.org/ may be best) and write an App Engine app with said framework and Python 2.7. >From your description of your requirements it sounds as if you'll comfortably fit into the free tier of Google App Engine use, so you'll be able to deploy to Google servers (at some-application-id.appspot.com; buying and adding your own custom domain is feasible but does cost some money depending on your chosen registrar) and run your app for free. Essentially, App Engine lets you focus just on writing your code, with no system admin tasks required. It runs as a WSGI server, which is why you can use essentially any pure Python framework (as they all support WSGI these days. As you develop your server you can run it locally on your machine (with conveniences such as automatic reloading of modified source files), then deploy it (in several versions if you wish) to appspot.com any time it's ready. Facilities such as cloud source repos, https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/docs/pricing , and Stackdriver Debugger, https://cloud.google.com/debugger/docs/setting-up-python-on-app-engine , can be handy additions but are not mandatory. Ditto for unit tests based on the supplied testbed, and so forth. Repeating the warning: I'm biased -- I was never officially part of the App Engine team (Guido van Rossum was, in his years at Google) but I've always enthusiastically supported it since its earliest, internal-only days, when it was called Prometheus. My enthusiasm has not abated over the years and these days I'm in charge of tech support (for users not paying for support, i.e, excluding the "premium" levels of paid support) for it as well as other parts of the Google Cloud Platform.

The problem is that there are various laws regulating security of information about children, and unless you're both knowledgable about those laws and about managing web application security, you might find yourself in legal hot water. Note: I'm not an expert on either of those, I've just seen enough reports various places that I'd have to think hard about whether I'd want to take on the task. Completely aside from that, unless you're interested in doing this for fun (or have lots of spare time), I'd look around to see if there are commercial providers of this kind of functionality. -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics." --Disraeli From Web at StevePiercy.com Mon Apr 4 18:41:02 2016 From: Web at StevePiercy.com (Steve Piercy - Website Builder) Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2016 15:41:02 -0700 Subject: [Baypiggies] writing simple CRUD web app, suggestions needed In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Go with a framework, and don't reinvent the wheel. Since you state you have not done much web stuff and you need something quickly, I would point you toward Django and its ecosystem at first. If you had more time and familiarity with web application development, or if you demand fine tuning and control of your web app in edge cases where it's really hard to do so with Django, then I'd steer you toward Pyramid. Pyramid plus any of its Django admin-like development environments, like Kotti and Substance-D, might satisfy your needs. https://trypyramid.com/resources-development-environments.html Both Django and Pyramid have strong communities and documentation to support developers. Django is "batteries included". It has its own admin interface, templating language, and ORM. This is a huge advantage for saving time and effort. Pyramid is "pay for only what you eat". It does not include an admin interface, templating language, persistent storage, or ORM, but you can choose whatever you want via its add-ons or development environments, or write your own in Python. IMO the biggest advantage in Pyramid is that it can use either URL dispatch or traversal, or both, for handling requests. Traversal is ideal for tree-like data structures, whereas URL dispatch is good for rectangular/spreadsheet/tabular data structures. http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/narr/muchadoabouttraversal.html Another big advantage with Pyramid is that it is extendable with pure Python, whereas other frameworks may require the use of a domain-specific language to do things within its ecosystem. --steve On 4/4/16 at 2:08 PM, rodrigc at FreeBSD.org (Craig Rodrigues) pronounced: >Hi, > >The application you are describing seems to be a fairly straightforward web >front-end on top >of a database, with authentication. > >For newcomers, it can be quite overwhelming that there are multiple Python >frameworks for doing web programming.

Message-ID: I developed a few websites with pyramid and I like its flexibility and power. Recently, I've been using Flask more (developed 2 websites using it), it's generally simpler and you can get relatively fluent in it in less than an hour. My trick for picking a framework or a database is to google for questions about them, see which is more supported in forums or stackexchange in case I run into problems. I wouldn't recommend writing your own framework (although I did that too, it was a good learning experience but not so productive). For such a lightweight project as yours, I'd recommend Flask + SQLAlchemy + SQLite, this a light combo that'll get your project done in no time.

Basically, I have a hardware device which supports two socket connections. I was planning on creating threads to do reads and writes to each socket as necessary. However, the hardware device will close the socket connection after 120 seconds of inactivity so I need to send a heartbeat message to the sockets in order to keep them open. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this. My initial thought was to create four threads, one for the 'control', i.e. send the heartbeat and one for 'data'. Basically similar to how ftp works with TCP ports 20 and 21. This seems clunky, however. Since I now have to implement locking for each socket as well as having four threads rather than two. Is there a good way of having the threads become daemons, and somehow check to see if they've sent any data over some preset timeout value and if not, send a heartbeat to the socket?

(UCSC Extension is moving to a brand new facility over this weekend!) The course is designed for people with no previous programming experience, and teaches basic programming concepts using Python. I have developed my own curriculum for this class, and I?ve received consistent feedback from students that they enjoyed the class while learning a great deal. The course meets on six Friday nights from April 29th through June 10th from 6:30 to 9:30 (no class on May 27th). Very hands-on - lots of sample programs. Sign ups are open to the general public, and there is still time to register. The course fee is $580 (many companies will reimburse the cost of courses at UCSC-Extension). More details are available at: http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=3576274&SectionID=5278016 If you have any questions, free to contact me directly at IKalb at ucsc.edu Feel free to forward this listing on to anyone that you think might be interested.

It is used by various websites such as Washington Post, New York Times, Mozilla, Disqus, Pinterest etc. Django abstracts the complexity of the web and presents a simple interface for the programmer. In this one-day workshop, you will learn to program using Django by mastering Model-View-Controller (MVC), Django?s Object relational mapper (ORM), Templates, Django migration tools etc. Please see below for more details. The course will include lectures, hands-on activities and lively discussions. You will also be given Python code for a Django project and powerpoint presentations that will explain the workings of Django. By the end of the day, you will be ready to develop web application using Django. There is also a complimentary advice session on 5/21/2016, two weeks after the course. The two weeks should be sufficient for you to create your own Django project and bring any lingering questions to that session. You can join by registering at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/one-day-course-on-programming-the-web-using-django-tickets-24383080450 If you have any questions, feel free to email Ravi at chityala at gmail.com.
