Hi, my name is Michael. I like learning new stuff.
I live in Tübingen and Würzburg.
I am a chemist by profession and mostly work around automation of chemical analysis systems in the semiconductor industry.
I have been programming since the C64 days and have been a heavy Python user at work since 2011, after I started learning it in 2008.
@amadaluzia os.mkdir in your build.py only works if the parent folder already exists.
I recommend using os.makedirs instead, which recursively creates the folder structure.
with ignore_errors=True, it also doesn't complain if the folder already exists.
@b0rk I am much more familiar with xml than html, since I mostly feed a java application with xml configuration and only write html occasionally.
I was not aware of attributes without quotes in html. Also, i attributed the accepted missing close tags to browser error handling.
Also I usually skip <!DOCTYPE html>
What I always found peculiar is that the <script src=".." > element doesn't accept self-closing but always needs a </script>.
Python doesn't have a null coalescing operator. or checks for truthyness
Python has truthy and falsy values with clear rules which is which. None is falsy, so are False, 0 or "" or [].
using or in an assignment is concise, but not too explicit.
For truthyness check, I would prefer
result = value if value else "No Value"
If you need a check for None, use
result = value if value is not None else "No Value"
@codeschubse The classical ORM combination with Flask is SQLAlchemy. For Migrations there is the Alembic package.
I never got the Hang of SQLAlchemy tough, so I am happy I exclusively use Django when I need an ORM.
I could imagine running Flask as a web framework to manage URL routing and such while still using the django ORM by just importing the models into your Flask app.
Would be kind of a Frankenstein project to install django just for the ORM.
@alexisperrier Well, it is part of the Python standard library.
I've used it now and then when I wanted a small tool to have a simple GUI.
The advantage is that it runs when people just have Python installed (at least on Windows) and I don't have to tell them to pip install something else.
@ammaratef45 Aren't literal string slices always 'static lifetime?
If so, the lifetime of the return value doesn't really matter, since "hi" lives as long as the program runs.
