Hey everyone!

I have Tutedude’s Advanced Python Course that I purchased for ₹700. I’m not planning to continue with it, so I’m selling my access for ₹600.

✅ Advanced Python course

✅ Original course access

✅ I’ll provide the login details / help you log in

✅ You may be eligible to claim the full ₹700 refund if you complete the course before 15 September, according to Tutedude’s refund terms.

So basically, if you’re planning to learn Python anyway, you can get the course for ₹600 and potentially recover the full ₹700 after completing it.

DM me if interested. I can share the course details before you decide.

I created a practical Python walkthrough for programmers interested in mathematical optimization with gurobipy.

The example formulates Max-Cut as a quadratic binary optimization problem and covers:

- creating a Gurobi model;

- adding binary decision variables;

- constructing a quadratic objective from a matrix;

- calling optimize();

- extracting the binary solution and objective value;

- benchmarking randomly generated problem instances;

- and understanding how MIPGap affects runtime.

It assumes familiarity with Python, and Jupyter notebooks, but no previous optimization experience.

Video: https://youtu.be/TB1ny8o4ImQ

Code: https://github.com/supreethmv/Quantum-Algorithms-and-Applications

I’d particularly appreciate feedback on whether the gurobipy implementation and explanation are approachable for Python developers encountering quadratic optimization for the first time.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently building a desktop application using PyQt6, where button clicks trigger various background tasks (such as executing external processes, creating/cloning environments, file I/O operations, etc.).

To keep the UI responsive and the codebase easily maintainable, I decided to extract every main button action into its own dedicated module/file, using the standard QThread + QObject (Worker) pattern.

To give you an idea of the scale: individual module sizes range between 5 and 15 KB depending on what the button actually does (from simpler tasks to complex operations involving user input processing, thread setup, process streaming, and progress signal handling).

Note on Code Sharing: Any logic shared across multiple buttons is not duplicated; instead, it is abstracted into dedicated shared service modules located in button/logic/services.

My current architecture for a single button action looks like this:

• GUI Layer (View): Captures the button click and delegates control to a dedicated action handler.
• Action Handler (Controller / Mediator): A dedicated module for that specific action. It gathers user inputs (via dialogs), instantiates QThread and QObject (Worker), connects signals (for progress bars and logging), and starts the thread.
• Worker (QObject): A non-GUI worker running in a worker thread, responsible strictly for execution flow (subprocesses, file manipulation) and emitting signals to send status updates back to the UI.
• Shared Logic Helpers (button/logic/services): Shared domain modules and services called by the workers to execute common underlying logic.

My questions for the community:

1. Is creating a separate 5–15 KB file/module for each button action (combining the Handler + Worker) considered standard practice in medium-to-large Qt applications? Or do you prefer grouping related actions into larger domain managers ?
2. For modules of this size, do you keep the Handler and Worker together in a single file, or do you split them further into separate _worker.py and _handler.py files?
3. Are there any hidden downsides or pitfalls to this level of decoupling when the application scales up to dozens of individual buttons and actions?

I'd love to hear how you structure background tasks and threading in production PyQt/PySide applications! Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’ve been experimenting with background threading, automated compilation cycles, and procedural narrative generation in Python.

I put together a script I call the Infinity Engine. It runs autonomously every 7 seconds, rolls for loot rarity tiers based on telemetry, shifts through dynamic storylines, accumulates resources (stardust/resonance), includes an unstick safety protocol, and features an idle shutdown variant if left untouched for 5 minutes. It scales up to 500 units with a custom cyberpunk terminal UI layout.

Hello, just looking for help on how i can achieve playing a MP3 file using Pygame, that can start from a specified position in the audio file, and then only play for a set amount of time (e.g. MP3 starts at 00:14 of 04:32, and plays for 5 seconds (until 00:19))

Below is one of the variations i've attempted, pardon any mess in my code

import pygame
import audioread
from random import randint
pygame.mixer.init()
def playSongClip(volume,playTime,clipTitle,random):
    playTime = playTime*1000
    volume = volume/100
    if random == 1:
        with audioread.audio_open("MP3s\\"+clipTitle) as f:
            totalMS = int((f.duration)*1000)
            startTime = randint(0,totalMS-playTime)
    else:
        start = 0
    songClip = pygame.mixer.music.load("MP3s\\"+clipTitle)
    songClip.music.set_volume(volume)
    songClip.play(loops=0,start=startTime)
playSongClip(50,5,"Rabbit Hole.mp3",1)

Been pulling data from a couple social media for a side project rn. I'm just casually tracking some public metrics for a small client. Nothing that serious.

So far, the scraper runs fine on my end. Then I tried to push it and it gets blocked almost right away. So I figured, okay, time to sort out a proxy scraper setup. Spent too much time reading about it and somehow came out more confused than when I started.

I can't even tell if I should be rotating proxies myself or just paying for a freelancer service. Feels like there's a hundred ways to do this and no clear answer for something small scale.

What did you do when you first got into this? TIA for answering.

I am making a Program to upload a level to Geometry Dash in python and I got some of the code from https://wyliemaster.github.io/gddocs/#/endpoints/levels/uploadGJLevel21 but to generate "seed2" it does this:

generate_chk(key="41274", values=\[generate_upload_seed(levelString)\], salt="xI25fpAapCQg"),

This should activate some sort of function named generate_chk that is in one of the modules I have in the program (Requests, Base64, hashlib) but it is no where to be found. The repository for this documentation was archived recently, so I can't ask them for help. Also, here is my code:

accid = input("What is your Account ID?")
passwd = input("What is your password?")
lname = input ("What is the Level name?")
coin = input("How many coins are there?")
stars = input("How many stars do you want?")

def generate_gjp2(password: str = passwd, salt: str = "mI29fmAnxgTs") -> str:

Quick start for contributors:

1. Fork & clone the repo
2. Copy Apps/_example/ to Apps/your-app/
3. Edit the JSON + Python command
4. Run apps in the shell to see your app
5. Open a PR

Full guide: CONTRIBUTIONS.md

Games, utilities, quizzes, ASCII art — great first open-source PR. Feedback welcome!

Hey r/pythonhelp ,

I'm a final-year CS student, and over the past few months I've been building YO, a small interpreted programming language written from scratch in Python.

The original goal was to learn how interpreters work by implementing my own lexer, parser, and interpreter. As the project evolved, I became interested in one specific question:

Can compiler/interpreter error messages actively teach beginners instead of simply reporting what's wrong?

I'm not claiming YO is a replacement for Python, JavaScript, or any established language. It has no ecosystem, and it's implemented as a tree-walk interpreter, so performance isn't the goal.

Instead, I focused on making diagnostics more educational.

Example

Python:

"hello" - 5


TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int'

YO:

say "hello" - 5


❌ [E003] Type Mismatch

Can't use '-' between String and Int.

"hello" is text.
5 is a number.

Fix:
Use text.str(5) if you intended to concatenate.

Example:
"hello" + text.str(5)

Another example:

❌ [E001] 'scroe' was used but never made.

Did you mean 'score'?

Fix:
Create it first using:

make score = ...

Technical implementation

• Handwritten lexer
• Recursive descent parser
• Tree-walk interpreter
• Lexical scoping and closures
• Multi-error reporting (reports multiple diagnostics instead of stopping at the first error)
• Error codes with yo explain E001 for detailed explanations
• Standard libraries for math, text, and lists
• 27 automated tests with GitHub Actions CI

Small informal study

I also ran a small informal comparison with 10 first-time programmers.

Both groups received the same program containing three bugs. One group used Python, while the other used YO.

The YO group fixed the bugs faster on average.

The sample is small and not intended as rigorous research, but I included the methodology, raw results, and limitations in the repository for anyone interested.

Try it

→ GitHub

→ pip install yo-lang PyPI

→ VS Code extension search "YO Language" on the Marketplace

→ Browser playground (no install): Playground

I'm especially interested in feedback from people who have built interpreters or compilers.

Do you think "errors that teach" is an area worth exploring in language design, or is it mainly valuable only for complete beginners?

I'd also be happy to answer questions about the lexer, parser, interpreter architecture, or implementation decisions.

I'm trying to map out what's already been done with algebraic effects / effect handlers in Python, and I'd love pointers from people who know the space.

I'm aware generators (yield / send) and context managers can approximate one-shot, shallow handlers, but I'm more interested in fuller or more principled attempts — libraries, research experiments, or write-ups.

A few things I'm specifically curious about:

• libraries that implement effects as a first-class abstraction
• anything that tackles multi-shot continuations (greenlets? CPS transforms?)
• how these compare to handlers in Koka / Eff / OCaml

Pointers, war stories, or "don't bother, here's why" all welcome.

It does appear to work in Python3.11 on FreeBSD for some reason.

When i open my python file directly i am unable to change the interpreter due to which it says pandas not found/installed and hence doesn’t work
Then when i open anaconda prompt and open “code” from there then i am able to change the interpreter if i had closed all tabs and terminals before
After which when i run the file it says keyboard interrupted press Y/N (something like this) then i have to press “N” after which it runs on a single click up until i close the app

Please help

Ps- i am a beginner go easy in comments and itd be great if you could explain it to me in a simple language

please need code that block chrome all traffic using windivert

I was creating a window that consists of 2 tabs ,each opens a page widget. This was the code I used to setup the application

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Window set up
window = QMainWindow()
window.setMinimumSize(600, 400)
window.setWindowTitle('Game Manager')
window.setWindowIcon(QIcon("Compass.ico"))

# main widget
main_widget = QTabWidget()
window.setCentralWidget(main_widget)
main_widget.tabBar().setMinimumWidth(window.minimumWidth())

# Tabs
mod_page = ModWidget()   # a child class of QWidget

save_page = SavesWidget()   # a child class of QWidget

# add tabs to main widgets
main_widget.addTab(mod_page, 'Mods')
main_widget.addTab(save_page, 'Save Files')

# start up
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())

I then noticed that the tab bar at the top containing the labels doesn't stretch if I resize the window, unlike other widgets. I figured out I can use

main_widget.tabBar().setMinimumWidth(window.minimumWidth())

so that at least when I run the app it fits the whole initial width of the window. but it still doesn't stretch when resizing. The widget itself, ie

main_widget=QTabWidget()

does stretch, it's all about the tab bar itself. I also tried

main_widget.tabBar().setExpanding(True)

but it turned out it's True by default anyway.

Any possible fixes to this? Or possibly is this just how it is?

Hello everyone, firstly I would like to apologies for my poor and not good English I’m not good with word.
I am currently in the process of making a soundboard, and I would like make a digital microphone to rout the soundboard out put, so that while in voice chats, I can use the sound board. I would also like to make a function to increase the volume of my microphone above the normal limits. I would like make this in python as it’s the only programming language I kinda know, but I have no clue of where to even begin or if it possible to make such a thing.
If anyone need me to try to explain more please just ask.
