Probably. we are targeted at beginners to Python and focus
on core language and standard library. If you are using
the standard library modules to build your app then certainly.,

If you are using a third party module then we may/may not
be able to help depending on who, if anyone, within the
group is familiar with it. In that case you may be better
on the <whichever toolset you are using> forum.

Post sample code, any errors you get and as specific a
description of the issue as you can.
Include OS and Python versions.
Use plain text not HTML to preserve code formatting.


If it turns out to be way off topic we'll tell you (politely)
where you should go for help.
