The 1st of January 2020 will mark the sunset of Python 2.7.
It’s clear that Python 3 is more popular these days.
You can learn more about the popularity of both on Google Trends.
Python 3.0 was released in December 2008.
The main goal was to fix problems existing in Python 2.
Since the 1st January 2020, Python 2 will no longer receive any support whatsoever from the core Python team.
Migrating to Python 3 is recommended, including some of the top libraries, such as machine learning.

Python 3.7.5 : Fix to python language the GitHub project.
I created a GitHub project with Django and I saw is detect like tcl programming language:
You need to create a file named .gitattributes in the root folder of my repository.
Use this source code to tell GitHub is a python project:
You need to create a file named .gitattributes in the root folder of my repository.
Use this source code to tell GitHub is a python project:

Python 3.7.5 : Is Django the best web framework?
This is the question for today in order to lineup the Django features with any web framework from my point of view.
Let's start with a brief introduction to this framework:
Django was created in the fall of 2003, when the web programmers at the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper, Adrian Holovaty and Simon Willison, began using Python to build applications. Jacob Kaplan-Moss was hired early in Django’s development shortly before Simon Willison's internship ended.[16] It was released publicly under a BSD license in July 2005. The framework was named after guitarist Django Reinhardt.[17], see wikipedia.
The Python which is a high-level programming language interpreted with general-purpose and together with the Django web framework creates a solution in fulfilling the objectives of web programming.
The problem of most of those who do not know closely the programming of this framework remains unknown and can be difficult to understand only from examples and tutorials.
Here are some of the difficulties that I personally encountered and had to solve them step by step.

Here are some of the difficulties that I personally encountered and had to solve them step by step.
- understand how to use the link system between the python files created by Django;
- how to use the templates and how to update them with the Django specific syntax;
- understanding the way of displaying and resolving specific errors in Django;
- using and setting the settings.py file;
- understanding of how the web framework interacts with web technologies;
- the development is easier with good and lower development costs and so are the additions and upgrades;
- security is very good, see security documentation and deployment checklist;
- is an open-source framework and updated by developers who use it;
- most used and crowd tested and used to develop DropBox, Quora, Google, and Reddit;
- comes with extensive documentation;
- a large and community;

Python 3.7.5 : About Django REST framework.
First, let's activate my Python virtual environment:
The Django implements serializers for this.
Serializers provide deserialization, allowing parsed data to be converted back into complex types and allow complex data such as querysets and model instances to be converted to native Python datatypes that can then be easily rendered into JSON, XML or other content types.
Let's create the mysite/serializers.py:
My urls.py file from the Django-chart project is this:
[mythcat@desk django]$ source env/bin/activate
I update my django version 3.0 up to 3.0.1.(env) [mythcat@desk django]$ pip3 install --upgrade django --user
Collecting django
...
Successfully uninstalled Django-3.0
Successfully installed django-3.0.1
The next step comes with installation of Python modules for Django and Django REST:(env) [mythcat@desk django]$ pip3 install djangorestframework --user
Collecting djangorestframework
...
Installing collected packages: djangorestframework
Successfully installed djangorestframework-3.11.0
Into my folder mysite I run this commands(env) [mythcat@desk django]$ cd mysite/
(env) [mythcat@desk mysite]$ python3 manage.py makemigrations
No changes detected
(env) [mythcat@desk mysite]$ python3 manage.py migrate
Operations to perform:
Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions, test001
Running migrations:
No migrations to apply.
To pass information over to an HTTP GET request, the information object must be translated into valid response data.The Django implements serializers for this.
Serializers provide deserialization, allowing parsed data to be converted back into complex types and allow complex data such as querysets and model instances to be converted to native Python datatypes that can then be easily rendered into JSON, XML or other content types.
Let's create the mysite/serializers.py:
(env) [mythcat@desk mysite]$ cd mysite/
(env) [mythcat@desk mysite]$ vim serializers.py
The code for this python script is this:from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
from rest_framework import serializers
class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['url', 'username', 'email', 'groups']
class GroupSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Group
fields = ['url', 'name']
The next changes will be on urls.py and views.py.My urls.py file from the Django-chart project is this:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from test001.views import home_page
from test001.views import Test001ChartView
#
from django.urls import include, path
from rest_framework import routers
from test001 import views
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'users', views.UserViewSet)
router.register(r'groups', views.GroupViewSet)
app_name = 'test001'
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
#path('', home_page, name ='home'),
path('', Test001ChartView.as_view(), name = 'home'),
# Use automatic URL routing
# Can also include login URLs for the browsable API
path('', include(router.urls)),
path('api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework'))
]
My views.py file is this:from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render
# snippet
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404
# for chart
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
from .models import Test001, Snippet
#
#def home_page(request):
# return HttpResponse('Home page!')
# django framework
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
from rest_framework import viewsets
from mysite.serializers import UserSerializer, GroupSerializer
def home_page(request):
return render(request, 'test001/home.html',{
'name':'CGF',
'html_items': ['a','b','c','d','e']
})
# define view for chart
class Test001ChartView(TemplateView):
template_name = 'test001/chart.html'
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
context["qs"] = Test001.objects.all()
return context
def snippet_detail(request, id):
snippet = get_object_or_404(Snippet, id=id)
return render(request, 'test001/snippets_detail.html', {'snippet': snippet})
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""
API endpoint allows users to be viewed or edited.
"""
queryset = User.objects.all().order_by('-date_joined')
serializer_class = UserSerializer
class GroupViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""
API endpoint allows groups to be viewed or edited.
"""
queryset = Group.objects.all()
serializer_class = GroupSerializer
The settings module for this my project is stored in mysite/settings.py and I add this:INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'rest_framework',
]
I run the django project and works well:python3 manage.py runserver
The http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/ page come with this output:

Python 3.7.5 : Simple web search with google python package.
This is a simple search on the web with python google package.
From the python package, I need to import just the search and used it.
The python package need a variable string named query.
The search wants to know the words from query and arguments, see the help:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ pip3 install google --user
Collecting google
...
Installing collected packages: google
Successfully installed google-2.0.3
This is a simple example for search on web with this words: protv news 2019.From the python package, I need to import just the search and used it.
The python package need a variable string named query.
The search wants to know the words from query and arguments, see the help:
Help on function search in module googlesearch:
search(query, tld='com', lang='en', tbs='0', safe='off', num=10, start=0, stop=None,
domains=None, pause=2.0, tpe='', country='', extra_params=None, user_agent=None)
Search the given query string using Google.
:param str query: Query string. Must NOT be url-encoded.
:param str tld: Top level domain.
:param str lang: Language.
:param str tbs: Time limits (i.e "qdr:h" => last hour,
"qdr:d" => last 24 hours, "qdr:m" => last month).
:param str safe: Safe search.
:param int num: Number of results per page.
:param int start: First result to retrieve.
:param int stop: Last result to retrieve.
Use None to keep searching forever.
:param list domains: A list of web domains to constrain
the search.
:param float pause: Lapse to wait between HTTP requests.
A lapse too long will make the search slow, but a lapse too short may
cause Google to block your IP. Your mileage may vary!
:param str tpe: Search type (images, videos, news, shopping, books, apps)
Use the following values {videos: 'vid', images: 'isch',
news: 'nws', shopping: 'shop', books: 'bks', applications: 'app'}
:param str country: Country or region to focus the search on. Similar to
changing the TLD, but does not yield exactly the same results.
Only Google knows why...
:param dict extra_params: A dictionary of extra HTTP GET
parameters, which must be URL encoded. For example if you don't want
Google to filter similar results you can set the extra_params to
{'filter': '0'} which will append '&filter=0' to every query.
:param str user_agent: User agent for the HTTP requests.
Use None for the default.
:rtype: generator of str
:return: Generator (iterator) that yields found URLs.
If the stop parameter is None the iterator will loop forever.

Python 3.7.5 : Simple intro in CSRF.
CSRF or Cross-Site Request Forgery is a technique used by cyber-criminals to force users into executing unwanted actions on a web application.
To protect against web form CSRF attacks, it's isn't sufficient for web applications to trust authenticated users, must be equipped with a unique identifier called a CSRF token similar to a session identifier.
Django 3.0 can be used with CSRF, see the documentation page.
The CSRF process is a simple one in Django framework.
However, it's highly recommended to use the CsrfViewMiddleware instead.
To activate the django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware in the settings.py file.
Basically, you can use the decorator method in the view.py file.
For example, see documentation:
This annotation CSRF tells Django I'm not handling CSRF properly and don't fail this.
If I don't use this annotation then the CSRF is on if the post request is on by default and I will receive a 403 error.
As the developer using templates you don't have to know anything about that and you can use this in your template HTML5 file.
You can used in any forms tag area like: input ...
Using my old example from GitHub.
First, I start the project:
The documentation tells us:
The CSRF protection cannot protect against man-in-the-middle attacks, so use HTTPS with HTTP Strict Transport Security. It also assumes validation of the HOST header and that there aren’t any cross-site scripting vulnerabilities on your site (because XSS vulnerabilities already let an attacker do anything a CSRF vulnerability allows and much worse).

To activate the django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware in the settings.py file.
Basically, you can use the decorator method in the view.py file.
For example, see documentation:
@csrf_protect
However csrf_protect will check only POST requests.This annotation CSRF tells Django I'm not handling CSRF properly and don't fail this.
If I don't use this annotation then the CSRF is on if the post request is on by default and I will receive a 403 error.
As the developer using templates you don't have to know anything about that and you can use this in your template HTML5 file.
{% csrf_token %}
I can use the token with my code if I want to send it to the website.from django.middleware.csrf import get_token
Then this can be used in view.py with a hidden form field with the name csrfmiddlewaretoken present in all outgoing POST forms.You can used in any forms tag area like: input ...
def my_csrf_form(request):
response = """ ... type = "hidden" name = "csrfmiddlewaretoken" value = "__token__" ... """
This can be used with:token = get_token(request)
response = response.replace('__token__', html.escape(token))
response += dumpdata('POST', request.POST)
return HttpResponse(response)
This will get a token for the current request and fill into value = "__token__".Using my old example from GitHub.
First, I start the project:
[mythcat@desk projects]$ source django/env/bin/activate
(env) [mythcat@desk projects]$ ls
cache django kaggle logs OSMnx pygal_ex SantaClaus.py
(env) [mythcat@desk projects]$ cd django/
(env) [mythcat@desk django]$ ls
env mysite venv
(env) [mythcat@desk django]$ cd mysite/
I change the chart.html file with this before javascript script:... {% csrf_token %} ...
You can use it in javascript - jQuery like this, if you want:var csrftoken = jQuery("[name=csrfmiddlewaretoken]").val();
The CSRF protection on Django on my form can bu used in view.py:...
# use csrf_protect
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_protect
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
...
# define view for chart
class Test001ChartView(TemplateView):
csrf_protected_method = method_decorator(csrf_protect)
I test it and works well.The documentation tells us:
The CSRF protection cannot protect against man-in-the-middle attacks, so use HTTPS with HTTP Strict Transport Security. It also assumes validation of the HOST header and that there aren’t any cross-site scripting vulnerabilities on your site (because XSS vulnerabilities already let an attacker do anything a CSRF vulnerability allows and much worse).

Python 3.7.5 : The OSMnx python package.
About this python package named OSMnx, you can read on GitHub.
OSMnx is a Python package that lets you download spatial geometries and model, project, visualize, and analyze street networks from OpenStreetMap's APIs. Users can download and model walkable, drivable, or bikable urban networks with a single line of Python code, and then easily analyze and visualize them ...
You cannot install osmnx directly in Fedora 31 Linux distro because of the dependency with python packages.
You can select a polygon area and show the map.

Kaggle is the world's largest community of data scientists and the platform is the fastest way to get started on a new data science project.
A good choice to use Kaggle is this feature: Kaggle provides free access to NVidia K80 GPUs in kernels.
The tutorial for today is about kaggle and is new for me because I hear about this opportunity last year.
This platform that hosts data science and machine learning competitions can give the people a good area for development.
The official blog can tell you more about how can this platform works.
The kaggle A.P.I. can be found at GitHub.
Let's start the tutorial with the pip3 install tool:
The process of using models need the datasets and you can use the kaggle datasets.
You can use the New Notebook button from that page to start using the datasets.
The datasets can be load from kaggle or can be uploaded.
The next window let you to Select new notebook settings.
I used Python with a notebook and I got the default source code:
(read-only data) and output from kaggle with pandas module:
You can see my online test I created with dataset Lego and python on my kaggle page.

Let's start the tutorial with the pip3 install tool:
[mythcat@desk kaggle]$ pip3 install kaggle --upgrade --user
Collecting kaggle
...
[mythcat@desk kaggle]$ mkdir ~/.kaggle/
[mythcat@desk kaggle]$ mv kaggle.json ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json
[mythcat@desk kaggle]$ kaggle
Warning: Your Kaggle API key is readable by other users on this system! To fix this, you can
run 'chmod 600 /home/mythcat/.kaggle/kaggle.json'
usage: kaggle [-h] [-v] {competitions,c,datasets,d,kernels,k,config} ...
kaggle: error: the following arguments are required: command
[mythcat@desk kaggle]$ chmod 600 /home/mythcat/.kaggle/kaggle.json
You can use the kaggle command to get informations from kaggle platform:[mythcat@desk kaggle]$ kaggle competitions list

The commands for this platform can be seen at GitHub:kaggle competitions {list, files, download, submit, submissions, leaderboard}
kaggle datasets {list, files, download, create, version, init}
kaggle kernels {list, init, push, pull, output, status}
kaggle config {view, set, unset}
The kaggle platform use an online tool with notebooks similar with Jupyter notebook for process coding in Kernels.The process of using models need the datasets and you can use the kaggle datasets.
You can use the New Notebook button from that page to start using the datasets.
The datasets can be load from kaggle or can be uploaded.
The next window let you to Select new notebook settings.
I used Python with a notebook and I got the default source code:
# This Python 3 environment comes with many helpful analytics libraries installed
# It is defined by the kaggle/python docker image: https://github.com/kaggle/docker-python
# For example, here's several helpful packages to load in
import numpy as np # linear algebra
import pandas as pd # data processing, CSV file I/O (e.g. pd.read_csv)
# Input data files are available in the "../input/" directory.
# For example, running this (by clicking run or pressing Shift+Enter) will list all files under the input
directory
import os
for dirname, _, filenames in os.walk('/kaggle/input'):
for filename in filenames:
print(os.path.join(dirname, filename))
# Any results you write to the current directory are saved as output.
Now, I can read the dataset shown in the right the Data with input(read-only data) and output from kaggle with pandas module:
data = pd.read_csv("../input/lego-database/colors.csv")
data.head()
The Commit button let you to save your work for later.You can see my online test I created with dataset Lego and python on my kaggle page.

Python 3.7.5 : Using the django with javascript.
The Django framework can work great with javascript.
I start this project a few days ago.
You can start a simple Django project, see my old tutorials.
I used a template for main page in my template folder named chart.html.
The chart.min.js is set on base.html.
The links work from the Django framework to HTML5 templates with javascript.
The full project can be found on my GitHub project.
See the screen output:

Python 3.7.5 : About PEP 8.
Today is December 5, 2019, and this is the reason I wrote about PEP 8.
The official webpage can be found at this webpage.
PEP 8 recommends using 4 spaces to show indentation and tabs should only be used to maintain consistency in the code.
The Python Library is conservative and 79 characters are the maximum required line limit as suggested by PEP 8.
The main goal is to avoid line wrapping.
Indentation allows you to differentiate between multiple lines of code and a single line of code that spans multiple lines.
The closing braces with the first white-space character of the last line.
The use of blank lines can greatly improve the readability of your code.
This rule allows the reader to understand the separation of the sections of code and the relation between them.
About comments, PEP 8 basically recommends using block comments for general-purpose coding.
Document strings or docstrings start at the first line of any function, class, file, module or method.
These type of comments are enclosed between single quotations ( ''') or double quotations ( """ ).
To improving the readability of expressions and statements use whitespace for any character or sequence of characters.
We need to avoiding whitespaces:
You can check whether your code actually complies with the rules and regulations of PEP 8 or not.
The linters is a program that analyzes your code and detects program errors, syntax errors, bugs, and structural problems.
An autoformatted tool will format your code to adapt to PEP 8 automatically.
Both tools used to implement and check PEP 8 compliance.
To know more about PEP 8 and its book of guidelines, you can refer to pep8.org.
You can check it online at this webpage.

Type | Naming Conventions | Examples |
---|---|---|
Variable | Using short names with CapWords. | T, AnyString, My_First_Variable |
Function | Using a lowercase word or words with underscores to improve readability. | function, my_first_function |
Class | Using CapWords and do not use underscores between words. | Student, MyFirstClass |
Method | Using lowercase words separated by underscores. | Student_method, method |
Constants | Using all capital letters with underscores separating words | TOTAL, MY_CONSTANT, MAX_FLOW |
Exceptions | Using CapWords without underscores. | IndexError, NameError |
Module | Using short lower-case letters using underscores. | module.py, my_first_module.py |
Package | Using short lowercase words and underscores are discouraged. | package, my_first_package |
Document strings or docstrings start at the first line of any function, class, file, module or method.
These type of comments are enclosed between single quotations ( ''') or double quotations ( """ ).
To improving the readability of expressions and statements use whitespace for any character or sequence of characters.
We need to avoiding whitespaces:
- inside parentheses, brackets, or braces;
- before a comma, a semicolon, or a colon;
- before open parenthesis that initiates the argument list of a function call;
- before an open bracket that begins an index or a slice;
- between a trailing comma and a closing parenthesis;
- to adjust assignment operators;
