When we start serving HTML files with our FastAPI application, we need a way to send images, CSS- and JavaScript files without creating an endpoint for each file. Let us solve this problem with a static route. This post is part of my journey to learn Python. You find the code for this post in …
Last week we added Alembic to our to-do app to be ready for upcoming changes to the tables. In this post we extend our FastAPI application, but in an unexpected direction: we add a web interface. Let us find out how we can do that. This post is part of my journey to learn Python. …
There is not much more annoying that fixing a bug in a JavaScript file and then find problems in production because the browsers of your users cached the old file. While the first reaction is to disable all caching, there is a better way in ASP.NET: append the file version to the JavaScript file name. …
With 2300 attendees this year’s NDC Oslo was a bit smaller than the one in 2023. Nevertheless, I liked it much more and think the talks were a lot better. Only two talks I attended finished after just 40 minutes and both times I could go to another talk and still catch some helpful insights. …
Last week we elaborated on the different phases we need for a successful automation project. Today we explore the phase of standardisation in more depth. A nice side effect of the standardisation is that we get a more consistent output. Instead of the many different ways of doing things, we end up with a single …
There are many projects in Python that we can use to create an API. After exploring a few options, I decided to go with FastAPI and explore it over the next few weeks. FastAPI is not only fast when it comes to serving requests, but also when it comes to writing code for it. Let …
We needed a simple solution to run recurring jobs for our user group web site. WebJobs in Azure sounded like the perfect solution, but unfortunately they do not work with App Services on Linux. We needed another approach and we found a much better solution with Background Tasks. All we need to do is to …
If you need an API endpoint that gives you some (static) test data, you can join the search for the most complicated solution. My current favourite in unnecessary complexity is to use MongoDB to serve a handful of JSON objects. However, if you prefer a much lighter approach and already use .Net, I strongly recommend …
Feedparser is a great Python library to read RSS and ATOM feeds that I covered in Python Friday #102. When I tried to read a local RSS feed with Feedparser, I ran into a problem with my self-signed SSL certificate. Let us see how we can tell Feedparser that our certificate is trustworthy. This post …
It is unbelievable that this is already post #200 for my Python Friday series. Let us use this milestone to look back at the topics we covered since Python Friday #100. Again, you get an easy-to-use reference that lets you jump right to the topics you are interested in. Fundamentals of the Python language …
