In this tutorial, Meagen demonstrates how to use the "help text" feature in Wagtail to solve a common design headache: inconsistent image proportions. By walking through a real-world example on the wagtail.org Showcase page, she explains why simply resizing images with code isn't always enough to fix broken aspect ratios and why providing clear instructions to editors is often the most effective solution. You’ll learn how to modify your Wagtail models to add helpful hints—such as recommended pi…

Before the conference My partner and I arrived in Athens a few days before the conference. It was a convenient excuse to visit a European capital we hadn’t been to yet, and of course to eat as much delicious food as possible. Django Social One day before the conference I went to the django.social event organized by Jon Gould and Andrew Miller. The bar they initially picked got too crowded, so the group moved to the backup place. I came late to the first bar, found no one there, and was a bit …

Time of changes. Last week, after 12 years working for the same company, I have terminated my employment. It was a destabilising moment, followed by a wave of excitement that I'm still riding, about what is to come. I still don't know about my next moves: for sure a break, and a journey already organized in a couple of weeks, after which I doubt I will be able to remain without working for a long time... My biggest desire would be to try and earn some living with free software projects. Some of…

Note: Development of psycopg3 started: you can read something in psycopg3: a first report! I have been psycopg2 maintainer since 2010; before that, git says that my first contribution was in 2005. At that time, psycopg (one) was the tool to use, and psycopg2 was an interesting experiment. In several years of using psycopg2 daily and reading about expectations, frustrations, surprises experienced by other users, I have been making my mind about a better system, and if I had to release a versio…

I have been cheerfully hacking on psycopg3 features for a while and reached the symbolic but relevant milestone of DBAPI 2.0 compatibility while using the psycopg2 test suite as a guideline to add features progressively. Then I thought about checking its speed... It wasn't a happy day. A few years ago, a new PostgreSQL driver was released: asyncpg. It is designed with speed in mind, at the expense of much else. It parses the PostgreSQL frontend/backend protocol using its own implementation (ins…

Django is currently the most commonly used full-stack web framework for Python. It has been around for a good 15 years, emerging as a winner from a period in which Python was already mature, but its web development tools were comparatively much more immature and fragmented. Django allows the definition of objects in your program as "models" using the Model base class. They behave largely like normal Python classes, with added support to save into, and retrieve from, the relational database back…
