I love the design of the site!

I think Dribbble is a popular place to find designers.

I switched to a Macbook Air a few months ago after using Linux for about a year. It's just a really nice computer. It's not some big ideological decision. I had some money saved up and I was tired of using Arch. It is a damn nice

Yes! My site (robert.io) is down and I've been chasing my tail trying to figure out what's wrong. It's refreshing to see that I'm not the only one.

Nginx is the web server which is reverse proxying to some other server that is running your Flask app. Flask is the web framework. MySQL is the database which may or may not run on a separate database server. Somebody might have a correctio

I don't think I'll be getting Glass anytime soon, but I'm looking forward to seeing what kinds of apps people (and companies) build for it.

I thought the point was to make PyPI look nicer. I still don't understand what problem they're solving.
221.
by rpicard 13y ago
This looks pretty nice. It would look better if you moved away from the default Bootstrap look. You don't really say what it is, but I'm assuming it's just a front end for information from PyPI.

Thanks for the tip! I don't know if I would have thought to set another date after missing the first. Hopefully I won't have to, but if the time comes I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you! The writer of that has actually contacted me too!

Oh, so the framework is a single file. Your app can be multiple files though, right?
225.
by rpicard 13y ago
Is Bottle limited to a single file? I have never really played with it. If so, I'd definitely say that it's an advantage for Flask.

That's very interesting. I'm making a note of this for inclusion in the book.

It's my understanding that Armin Ronacher -- the creator of Flask -- has been making a lot of progress lately on porting to Python 3.[1] I don't think it's ready for production yet, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on. I might m

I appreciate the suggestions. Since it's something I'll want to consider writing about, why are you interested in the "by hand" integrations rather than using the Flask plugins?
229.
by rpicard 13y ago
As a newcomer I don't think I ever had much trouble with decorators. It took me a little time to understand exactly what was going on, but not too long. Even writing them seemed fairly straight-forward.

by rpicard 13y ago
My concern would be that by analyzing the Flask source in addition to patterns and best practices for developing apps the book would lose focus. It is something that I'll keep in mind in writing, but I think it might be better for another p

by rpicard 13y ago
That's true. It seems like plugin development might be a little out of scope for this book, but it's definitely something I'll keep in mind.

by rpicard 13y ago
This is just about the same experience that I had. If I'm recommending a framework to a new developer (as I recently did) I go with Flask all the way. You can start off with a simple one file app that serves your index, then when you realiz

As I'm formulating the exact focus of the book I've been finding myself wondering how much introductory material I should include. I think you're right about leaving as much out as possible. When there is prerequisite knowledge for a partic

I don't have extensive experience with other Python frameworks, but what attracted me to Flask is what taude said.[1] There is just enough existing code to get you started and you don't have all of the technical debt of a full-fledged frame

by rpicard 13y ago
I think that depends on the parameters. I'm imagining a length of around 100 pages (though I'll have to see where the book takes it, I don't want to force any particular length). Also, I'm self publishing so there isn't any red tape to deal

I don't really have much of an opinion on the news itself, but I'm curious how they decided on January 14th / 15th as the cut-off date. It seems sort of arbitrary.

I use Zoho Mail and I definitely recommend it. I've never had any problems with it.

The quote (at least now) is: "we did not want to bloat the application by introducing a proprietary framework." I think they may have meant that they didn't want to write their own.

Okay, it's working now. I just needed to bind Gunicorn to 0.0.0.0 so it would be externally visible.
