Hey friends on the #Fediverse!
It's been 6 years since our last, beloved PyCon Zimbabwe took place. #pyconzim brought us together. It was a time for connecting, sharing, & learning. Now, after years of silence, it's coming back!
We're a community-driven event, & like before we need your help to make it a success. We're calling on all of you to join us in this endeavor. Whether you can offer your time, resources, or just a share on your networks, every bit counts! #python#django#foss
Hmm I've only ever built sites using #Django, bcos I'm most good at #Python and I'm just super familiar with all the features (and quirks) of Django and it's been great, but honestly being good at only Django (when it comes to web dev) does gimme huge impostor syndrome cos I know fuck all when people talk about #Node and whatnot :(
Maybe I can learn how to build a site using #Eleventy so I too can speak gibberish lingo I never understood before with other fellow programmers?
Django peeps. I want to link my languages table (English, French, Chinese, etc) to the word classes (Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, etc) table. It would be a many-to-many relationship, but I'm not sure whether to use a join table or the many-to-many model. What's the most Django way?
Interesting lesson? Last August, a contributor wanted to fix something in #django-money's contrib.django_rest_framework. The PR had no tests, a few people mentioned that they'd like to have it merged.
So 9 months later, a maintainer (eh me), gives up and helps to write a few tests and get this thing merged. But no one with acclaimed DRF skillz had reviewed it.
Afterwards, it broke DRF integration in two ways: Two great new contributors came by, fixed it w/ tests!
I love Django, it's admin interface is downright amazing, and a feature that keeps me using Django, but ohboy, adding actions to a change view should be significantly easier!
(or I'm just missing some fancy decorator that does the trick! 😅) #django#python
To my #django friends, do you know how to show #OpenStreetMap#OSM maps on a django application and then allow user to store information related to location, and show on the map?
Not only is it well structured, it also has support from more experienced djangonauts. Sadly, it has concluded for this year. If you're interested in #python and want to develop experience contributing to #OpenSource , then you may want to mark your calendar for next year.
