ModelRenderers, a possible new component to Django...
Towards the end of last year I was working with form renderers in my startup to provide a consistent interface for forms across the project. I also used template partials to override widgets, delivering consistent rendering all in one file, a nice win. This made me wonder what other common components in a project get rendered to HTML that could benefit from a single, reusable place to avoid repeating myself. Carlton's Neapolitan package already has this to some degree. There are two template tag types: one for object detail and one for object list. We also have FormRenderers in Django which already cascade from project down to an individual form, so perhaps we could apply the same logic to render models in a dry, configurable way rather than duplicating templates and logic. This made me wonder, could we have a python class whose role is to define how a model get's rendered? Let's be clear, we're not getting into serializers here and the validation or logic that comes with them, it's similar to the separation of Forms and FormRenders. I'm thinking that this idea allows the rendering of an object of list of objects in a template like so: {{ … -
Django's test runner is underrated
Every podcast, blog post, Reddit thread, and every conference talk seems to agree: “just use pytest”. Real Python says most developers prefer it. Brian Okken’s popular book calls it “undeniably the best choice”. It’s treated like a rite of passage for Python developers: at some point you’re supposed to graduate from the standard library to the “real” testing framework. I never made that switch for my Django projects. And after years of building and maintaining Django applications, I still don’t feel like I’m missing out. What I actually want from tests Before we get into frameworks, let me be clear about what I need from a test suite: Readable failures. When something breaks, I want to understand why in seconds, not minutes. Predictable setup. I want to know exactly what state my tests are running against. Minimal magic. The less indirection between my test code and what’s actually happening, the better. Easy onboarding. New team members should be able to write tests on day one without learning a new paradigm. Django’s built-in test framework delivers all of this. And honestly? That’s enough for most projects. Django tests are just Python’s unittest Here’s something that surprises a lot of developers: Django’s … -

Customizing error code for Cloudflare mTLS cert check
Summary The Bitwarden mobile app wipes its local cache when receiving an HTTP 403 error. By default, a WAF rule in a Cloudflare free account can only return a 403. This guide shows how to use Cloudflare Workers to validate mTLS certificates and return an HTTP 404 instead. Background For accessing internal services remotely, I have been a big fan of Cloudflare Tunnels. This system provides an easy mechanism to provide access without opening up firewall ports, and the ability to take advantage of Cloudflare security controls like their Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Zero Trust access control. Previous authorization model Up until recently, I have secured my internal applications with a simple OAuth identity validation through Zero Trust. Depending on the identity provider used, this can provide a significant amount of protection, but it can cause issues with non-web based applications like mobile apps. One simple alternative I’ve used is Service Tokens, which can be provided via custom HTTP headers – if the app I’m trying to use supports that type of customization. However, this is quite rare, so I started looking for a more universal approach. mTLS authorization Historically, during client/server communication, the focus has been on ensuring … -
Django: profile memory usage with Memray
Memory usage can be hard to keep under control in Python projects. The language doesn’t make it explicit where memory is allocated, module imports can have signficant costs, and it’s all too easy to create a global data structure that accidentally grows unbounded, leaking memory. Django projects can be particularly susceptible to memory bloat, as they may import many large dependencies like numpy, even if they’re only used in a few places. One tool to help understand your program’s memory usage is Memray, a memory profiler for Python created by developers at Bloomberg. Memray tracks where memory is allocated and deallocated during program execution. It can then present that data in various ways, including spectucular flame graphs, collapsing many stack traces into a chart where bar width represents memory allocation size. Profile a Django project Memray can profile any Python command with its memray run command. For a Django project, I suggest you start by profiling the check management command, which loads your project and then runs system checks. This is a good approximation of the minimum work required to start up your Django app, imposed on every server load and management command execution. To profile check, run: $ memray … -

Python Leiden meetup: PostgreSQL + Python in 2026 -- Aleksandr Dinu
(One of my summaries of the Python Leiden meetup in Leiden, NL). He's going to revisit common gotchas of Python ORM usage. Plus some Postgresql-specific tricks. ORM (object relational mappers) define tables, columns etc using Python concepts: classes, attributes and methods. In your software, you work with objects instead of rows. They can help with database schema management (migrations and so). It looks like this: class Question(models.Model): question = models.Charfield(...) answer = models.Charfield(...) You often have Python "context managers" for database sessions. ORMs are handy, but you must be beware of what you're fetching: # Bad, grabs all objects and then takes the length using python: questions_count = len(Question.objects.all()) # Good: let the database do it, # the code does the equivalent of "SELECT COUNT(*)": questions_count = Question.objects.all().count() Relational databases allow 1:M and N:M relations. You use them with JOIN in SQL. If you use an ORM, make sure you use the database to follow the relations. If you first grab the first set of objects and then grab the second kind of objects with python, your code will be much slower. "Migrations" generated by your ORM to move from one version of your schema to the next are real … -
Python Leiden meetup: PR vs ROC curves, which to use - Sultan K. Imangaliyev
(One of my summaries of the Python Leiden meetup in Leiden, NL). Precision-recall (PR) versus Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves: which one to use if data is imbalanced? Imbalanced data: for instance when you're investigating rare diseases. "Rare" means few people have them. So if you have data, most of the data will be of healthy people, there's a huge imbalance in the data. Sensitivity versus specificity: sensitive means you find most of the sick people, specificity means you want as few false negatives and false positives as possible. Sensitivity/specificity looks a bit like precision/recall. Sensitivity: true positive rate. Specificity: false positive rate If you classify, you can classify immediately into healthy/sick, but you can also use a probabilistic classifier which returns a chance (percentage) that someone can be classified as sick. You can then tweak which threshold you want to use: how sensitive and/or specific do you want to be? PR and ROC curves (curve = graph showing the sensitivity/specificity relation on two axis) are two ways of measuring/visualising the sensitivity/specificity relation. He showed some data: if the data is imbalanced, PR is much better at evaluating your model. He compared balanced and imbalanced data with ROC and there … -
Django Icon packs with template partials
As I have been building out the startup (launching very very soon), I was struck by the pattern that I mentioned last year of Claude grouping lots partials into a single file. I think we are almost at the point of being able to define simple components in a template without a templatetag. My goal here is discovering how much we can do with the vanilla Django Template language with the recent additions. I still need to work on the specifics, but currently I have a file called icons.html in my project which has the lots of the following: {# Heroicons (outline, 24px) as template partials #} {# Usage: {% include "icons/heroicons.html#wallet" %} #} {% partialdef wallet %} <svg class="size-5 text-gray-500 group-has-[:checked]:text-white" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"> <path d="M21 12C21 10.7574 19.9926 9.75 18.75 9.75H15C15 11.4069 13.6569 12.75 12 12.75C10.3431 12.75 9 11.4069 9 9.75H5.25C4.00736 9.75 3 10.7574 3 12M21 12V18C21 19.2426 19.9926 20.25 18.75 20.25H5.25C4.00736 20.25 3 19.2426 3 18V12M21 12V9M3 12V9M21 9C21 7.75736 19.9926 6.75 18.75 6.75H5.25C4.00736 6.75 3 7.75736 3 9M21 9V6C21 4.75736 19.9926 3.75 18.75 3.75H5.25C4.00736 3.75 3 4.75736 3 6V9" /> </svg> {% endpartialdef wallet %} {% partialdef percent-badge %} <svg … -
Django 6.0 Tasks: a framework without a worker
Background tasks have always existed in Django projects. They just never existed in Django itself. For a long time, Django focused almost exclusively on the request/response cycle. Anything that happened outside that flow, such as sending emails, running cleanups, or processing uploads, was treated as an external concern. The community filled that gap with tools like Celery, RQ, and cron-based setups. That approach worked but it was never ideal. Background tasks are not an edge case. They are a fundamental part of almost every non-trivial web application. Leaving this unavoidable slice entirely to third-party tooling meant that every serious Django project had to make its own choices, each with its own trade-offs, infrastructure requirements, and failure modes. It’s one more thing that makes Django complex to deploy. Django 6.0 is the first release that acknowledges this problem at the framework level by introducing a built-in tasks framework. That alone makes it a significant release. But my question is whether it actually went far enough. What Django 6.0 adds Django 6.0 introduces a brand new tasks framework. It’s not a queue, not a worker system, and not a scheduler. It only defines background work in a first-party, Django-native way, and provides … -

Documenting Django's technical culture
Following along the lines from one of posts from last year about Django being a protocol or an API, there was a recent discussion on Mastodon about configurable content types, and there’s a ticket in flight to implement this new feature that would make content types configurable. This made me think, in django-prodserver, I’m already creating configurable backends, and in Django generally we have configurable components: databases, caches, storage backends, email backends, and so on. Most of whole system is configurable, and the INSTALLED_APPS setting could be considered the heart of this. I see some potential value in building out a meta design documents for how we expect new features to be built in Django, describing the kinds of designs or Python APIs we would anticipate in feature. For example, there’s clearly a pattern of a configurable backend via settings, as I mentioned. But are there other conventions we should codify? Whether that takes the form of a contribution document, or an issue template in GitHub, but I think starting with some documentation would be a good start. It might also reveal some gaps in existing features that don't meet the standard we would expect for new features being introduced. … -
