Xonsh is a modern, full-featured and cross-platform python shell. The language is a superset of Python 3.6+ with additional shell primitives that you are used to from Bash and IPython. It works on all major systems including Linux, OSX, and Windows. Xonsh is meant for the daily use of experts and novices.

The install is easy with pip tool:

python -m pip install 'xonsh[full]'

Python 3.13.0 : mitmproxy - part 001.

Mitmproxy is an interactive, open‑source proxy tool that lets you intercept, inspect, and modify HTTP and HTTPS traffic in real time. It acts as a "man‑in‑the‑middle" between your computer and the internet, making it possible to debug, test, or analyze how applications communicate online.

Why Python?

• Mitmproxy is built in Python and exposes a powerful addon API
• You can write custom scripts to automate tasks and traffic manipulation
• Block or rewrite requests and responses with flexible logic
• Inject headers or simulate server responses for testing
• Integrate with other Python tools for advanced automation

• Intercept and inspect HTTP and HTTPS traffic in real time
• Modify requests and responses dynamically with Python scripts
• Block specific hosts or URLs to prevent unwanted connections
• Inject custom headers into outgoing requests for debugging or control
• Rewrite response bodies (HTML, JSON, text) using regex or custom logic
• Log and save traffic flows for later analysis and replay
• Simulate server responses to test client behavior offline
• Automate testing of web applications and APIs with scripted rules
• Monitor performance metrics such as latency and payload size
• Integrate with other Python tools for advanced automation and analysis
• Use a trusted root certificate to decrypt and modify HTTPS traffic securely

Let's install:

pip install mitmproxy

Let's see the python script:

# addon.py
from mitmproxy import http
from mitmproxy import ctx
import re

BLOCKED_HOSTS = {
    "hyte.com",
    "ads.example.org",
}

REWRITE_RULES = [
    # Each rule: (pattern, replacement, content_type_substring)
    (re.compile(rb"Hello World"), b"Salut lume", "text/html"),
    (re.compile(rb"tracking", re.IGNORECASE), b"observare", "text"),
]

ADD_HEADERS = {
    "X-Debug-Proxy": "mitm",
    "X-George-Tool": "true",
}

class GeorgeProxy:
    def __init__(self):
        self.rewrite_count = 0

    def load(self, loader):
        ctx.log.info("GeorgeProxy addon loaded.")

    def request(self, flow: http.HTTPFlow):
        # Block specific hosts early
        host = flow.request.host
        if host in BLOCKED_HOSTS:
            flow.response = http.Response.make(
                403,
                b"Blocked by GeorgeProxy",
                {"Content-Type": "text/plain"}
            )
            ctx.log.warn(f"Blocked request to {host}")
            return

        # Add custom headers to outgoing requests
        for k, v in ADD_HEADERS.items():
            flow.request.headers[k] = v

        ctx.log.info(f"REQ {flow.request.method} {flow.request.url}")

    def response(self, flow: http.HTTPFlow):
        # Only process text-like contents
        ctype = flow.response.headers.get("Content-Type", "").lower()
        raw = flow.response.raw_content

        if raw and any(t in ctype for t in ["text", "html", "json"]):
            new_content = raw
            for pattern, repl, t in REWRITE_RULES:
                if t in ctype:
                    new_content, n = pattern.subn(repl, new_content)
                    self.rewrite_count += n

            if new_content != raw:
                flow.response.raw_content = new_content
                # Update Content-Length only if present
                if "Content-Length" in flow.response.headers:
                    flow.response.headers["Content-Length"] = str(len(new_content))
                ctx.log.info(f"Rewrote content ({ctype}); total matches: {self.rewrite_count}")

        ctx.log.info(f"RESP {flow.response.status_code} {flow.request.url}")

addons = [GeorgeProxy()]

Let's run it:

mitmdump -s addon.py
[21:46:04.435] Loading script addon.py
[21:46:04.504] GeorgeProxy addon loaded.

[21:46:19.021][127.0.0.1:52128] server disconnect httpbin.org:80 (52.44.182.178:80)

Let's see the result:

curl -x http://127.0.0.1:8080 http://httpbin.org/get
{
  "args": {},
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Host": "httpbin.org",

    "X-George-Tool": "true"
  },
  "origin": "84.117.220.94",
  "url": "http://httpbin.org/get"
}

This means

The request successfully went through mitmproxy running on 127.0.0.1:8080. Your addon worked: it injected the custom headers (X-Debug-Proxy, X-George-Tool). The httpbin.org echoed back the request details, showing exactly what the server received.

Python 3.13.0 : Tornado - part 001.

Python Tornado is a high‑performance web framework and asynchronous networking library designed for extreme scalability and real‑time applications. Its standout capability is handling tens of thousands of simultaneous connections efficiently, thanks to non‑blocking I/O.

This is an open source project actively maintained and available on tornadoweb.org.

Python Tornado – Key Capabilities

• Massive Concurrency: Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections without requiring huge numbers of threads.
• Non‑blocking I/O: Its asynchronous design makes it ideal for apps that need to stay responsive under heavy load.
• WebSockets Support: Built‑in support for WebSockets enables real‑time communication between clients and servers.
• Long‑lived Connections: Perfect for long polling, streaming, or chat applications where connections remain open for extended periods.
• Coroutines & Async/Await: Tornado integrates tightly with Python’s asyncio, allowing developers to write clean asynchronous code using coroutines.
• Versatile Use Cases: Beyond web apps, Tornado can act as an HTTP client/server, handle background tasks, or integrate with other services.

Tornado setup: The script creates a web server using the Tornado framework, listening on port 8888.

Route definition: A single route /form is registered, handled by the FormHandler class.

GET request: When you visit http://localhost:8888/form, the server responds with an HTML page (form.html) that contains a simple input form.

POST request: When the form is submitted, the post() method retrieves the value of the name field using self.get_argument("name").

Response: The server then sends back a personalized message

Let's see the script:

import tornado.ioloop
import tornado.web
import os

class FormHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.render("form.html")  # Render an HTML form

    def post(self):
        name = self.get_argument("name")
        self.write(f"Hello, {name}!")

def make_app():
    return tornado.web.Application([
        (r"/form", FormHandler),
    ],
    template_path=os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "templates")  # <-- aici
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = make_app()
    app.listen(8888)
    print("Server pornit pe http://localhost:8888/form")
    tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current().start()

Python 3.13.0 : xAI A.P.I. with regional endpoint on xai_sdk python package.

Grok is a family of Large Language Models (LLMs) developed by xAI.

Inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Grok is a maximally truth-seeking AI that provides insightful, unfiltered truths about the universe.

xAI offers an API for developers to programmatically interact with our Grok models. The same models power our consumer facing services such as Grok.com, the iOS and Android apps, as well as Grok in X experience.

If you want to use a regional endpoint, you need to specify the endpoint url when making request with SDK. In xAI SDK, this is specified through the api_host parameter.

Is not free models available for xAI A.P.I.

See this example from the official website:

import os

from xai_sdk import Client
from xai_sdk.chat import user

client = Client(
api_key=os.getenv("XAI_API_KEY"),
api_host="us-east-1.api.x.ai" # Without the https://
)

chat = client.chat.create(model="grok-4")
chat.append(user("What is the meaning of life?"))

completion = chat.sample()

Python Qt6 : tool for remove duplicate files ...

Today I created a Python script with PyQt6 that allows me to remove duplicate files based on three ways of selecting the type of duplicate.

The script also makes an estimate of the execution time...

Because the source code is relatively simple and can be very easily reconstructed with the help of artificial intelligence, I am not adding it to the posts.

Here is what the application looks like with PyQt6.

Python Qt6 : tool for cutting images ...

Today I made a script that allows adding custom horizontal and vertical sliders to an image and, depending on the custom distance between them, cuts the image into squares of different sizes.

Python Qt6 : tool for renaming files with creation date .

Since this hacking and the crashes... I've always taken screenshots... Today I created a small script that takes files from a folder and renames them with the creation date in this format...yyyyMMdd_HHmmss .

... obviously artificial intelligence helped me.

This is the source code :

import sys
import os
import shutil
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QPushButton, QVBoxLayout, QFileDialog, QMessageBox
from PyQt6.QtCore import QDateTime

class FileRenamer(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Redenumire fișiere cu dată și index")
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 150)

        layout = QVBoxLayout()

        self.button = QPushButton("Selectează folderul și redenumește fișierele")
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.rename_files)
        layout.addWidget(self.button)

        self.setLayout(layout)

    def rename_files(self):
        folder = QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(self, "Selectează folderul")
        if not folder:
            return

        files = [f for f in os.listdir(folder) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(folder, f))]
        files.sort()  # Sortează pentru consistență

        for index, filename in enumerate(files, start=1):
            old_path = os.path.join(folder, filename)
            try:
                creation_time = os.path.getctime(old_path)
                dt = QDateTime.fromSecsSinceEpoch(int(creation_time))
                date_str = dt.toString("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss")
                ext = os.path.splitext(filename)[1]
                new_name = f"{date_str}_{index:03d}{ext}"
                new_path = os.path.join(folder, new_name)

                # Evită suprascrierea fișierelor existente
                if not os.path.exists(new_path):
                    shutil.move(old_path, new_path)
            except Exception as e:
                QMessageBox.critical(self, "Eroare", f"Eroare la fișierul {filename}:\n{str(e)}")
                continue

        QMessageBox.information(self, "Succes", "Fișierele au fost redenumite cu succes!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = FileRenamer()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

Python Qt6 : simple tool with gnews python package.

Today, I tested a simple tool for news with the gnews python package:

Python Qt6 : tool for game development with PNG images.

Today, I worked with art artificial intelligence, to create tool for my game development.

I used python and PyQt6 and this tool help me to remove border, resize, split, rename and save images as PNG file type for Godot game engine.

Python Qt6 : ... management of installations and build python package.

Yesterday I created a small project for managing Python packages and building a new package based on added modules. I only tested the local installations of various Python versions and the creation of a new package, but it worked.

Python Qt6 : Use python with ffmpeg tool ...

If you download a video from youtube with high resolution using a tool as yt-dlp then you can get two files with video and audio content:

... one with be with .f401.mp4 and another with .f251-9.webm and using the ffmpeg tool you can create one .mp4 file with both audio and video content.

Python Qt6 : simple celtic knots tool with SVG file format.

Today, I try to create SVG file with an celtic knot design tool.

I used random values from -360 up to 360 for for Twist 1, Twist 2, and Twist 3 sliders.

The basic function is this, is created by artificial intelligence and not works very well.

        # Generate star polygon vertices
        points_cw = []
        points_ccw = []
        for i in range(steps):
            t = 2 * math.pi * i / steps
            r = outer_radius if i % 2 == 0 else inner_radius
            x_cw = center[0] + r * math.cos(t)
            y_cw = center[1] + r * math.sin(t)
            x_ccw = center[0] + r * math.cos(-t + math.pi / max(lobes, 1))
            y_ccw = center[1] + r * math.sin(-t + math.pi / max(lobes, 1))
            points_cw.append((x_cw, y_cw))
            points_ccw.append((x_ccw, y_ccw))

See one random example with this tool:

Python Qt6 : simple merge sprites images with unittest feature.

Python 3.13.5 : keras and torch and tensorflow on python version 3.13.5 !

I am not very satisfied with the security of the system in this area, I have noticed intrusions when I was at the Vodafone provider and now I am on mobile and they persist. I should improve my software and hardware protection and restart the system, but I have the impression that it won't help much considering the hacking capabilities that exist.

For now, I'm sticking with this solution, because it's quite good for simple tests with the Python language.

Today I will show you that the involvement of developers is somewhat lagging behind, and this can be seen from the analysis of the development progression across versions of the Python language, as it is not easy to implement in newer versions. Some packages, although important, are not available in newer versions.Today I will show you that the involvement of developers is somewhat lagging behind, and this can be seen from the analysis of the development progression across versions of the Python language, as it is not easy to implement in newer versions. Some packages, although important, are not available in newer versions. Let's see these python packages:

Keras is a deep learning API designed for human beings, not machines. Keras focuses on debugging speed, code elegance & conciseness, maintainability, and deployability. When you choose Keras, your codebase is smaller, more readable, easier to iterate on.

Python 3.13.5 : the groq tested with basic example !

About groq you can find on the official Grok website .

Today I tested the groq A.P.I. with the basic example :

import os

from groq import Groq

client = Groq(
    api_key="gsk_..."
)

chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "explain what groq is",
        }
    ],
    model="llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
)

print(chat_completion.choices[0].message.content)

The result of : "explain what groq is" is that :

Python Qt6 : ... simple resize image files.

I like the combination of Python development and the inclusion of the PyQt6 module. It is very fast and stable and allows me to create all sorts of tools to use.

Today I will show you another handy script that allows you to read all the image files from a folder and, depending on the selections: height, length, and/or aspect ratio, resize them and then place them in a folder created specifically for the resulting images.

Here is how the script looks, I clearly used artificial intelligence and it didn't take more than a few minutes, my evaluation, testing, and rearranging the interface took longer ...

Next, the install of the notebook python module

pip install notebook
Collecting notebook
...
Installing collected packages: notebook
Successfully installed notebook-7.4.4

This python package named voila will help us to use online graphic user interfaces:

pip install voila
Collecting voila
...
Successfully installed voila-0.5.8 websockets-15.0.1

The voila package need to work with ipywidgets python package:

pip install ipywidgets
Collecting ipywidgets
...
Successfully installed ipywidgets-8.1.7 jupyterlab_widgets-3.0.15 widgetsnbextension-4.0.14

Let's start the jupiter tool with this command:

jupyter notebook

I used an default python example with a slider:

import ipywidgets as widgets
from IPython.display import display

slider = widgets.IntSlider(value=5, min=0, max=10)
display(slider)

This command will start the web with the slider using the voila command:

voila test.ipynb

The result is this:

Python 3.13.5 : the manim python module - part 001.

I used this package few days ago and now I wrote about how can used it.

Update the new release of pip is available: 25.0.1 -> 25.1.1 , run this command:

python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

The documentation can be found on the official website.

Let's see how can be used to see the help area:

python.exe -m manim render --help
Manim Community v0.19.0

Usage: python -m manim render ...

Let's use this source code:

from manim import *

class AdvancedAnimation(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        # Scene 1: Introduction
        title = Text("Advanced Animation with Manim").scale(0.76)
        self.play(FadeIn(title))
        self.wait(2)

        # Scene 2: Custom Animation
        circle = Circle().set_fill(color=BLUE, opacity=0.5)
        square = Square().set_fill(color=RED, opacity=0.5)
        self.add(circle, square)
        self.play(
            Rotate(circle, angle=TAU),
            Rotate(square, angle=-TAU),
            run_time=2,
            rate_func=linear
        )
        self.wait()

        # Scene 3: Text Animation
        text = Text("This is a custom text animation", font_size=40).to_edge(UP)
        self.play(Write(text), run_time=2)
        self.wait()

        # Scene 4: Shapes Manipulation
        triangle = Triangle().shift(RIGHT * 2)
        self.play(GrowFromCenter(triangle), run_time=1.5)
        self.wait()

        # Scene 5: Transition to next scene
        self.play(Uncreate(triangle), FadeOut(text))

        # Scene 6: Final Animation
        final_text = Text("This is the end of our animation", font_size=50).to_edge(DOWN)
        self.play(FadeIn(final_text), run_time=1.5)
        self.wait(2)

# Run the animation
AdvancedAnimation()

Use this command to render:

python.exe -m manim render manim_test_001.py AdvancedAnimation -p
AdvancedAnimation -p
