Python Weekly
Welcome to issue 676 of Python Weekly. Let's get straight to the links this week.
Articles, Tutorials and Talks

Python dependency management is a dumpster fire
This article is all about fire safety techniques and tools. It's about how you should think about dependency management, which tools you should consider for different scenarios, and what trade offs you'll have to make. Finally, it exposes the complexity and lingering problems in the ecosystem.

NanoDjango - single-file Django apps | uv integration 
NanoDjango is a cool package that lets you build small scripts using all the power of Django, and also supports django-ninja for APIs. We'll dive into NanoDjango in this video, and will use uv and inline script metadata for dependency management.

Everything I've learned so far about running local LLMs
A post about running large language models (LLMs) locally on a computer. It discusses what LLMs are and how to set them up to run on your own machine. The article also covers some of the limitations of LLMs, but highlights their potential for tasks like proofreading and creative writing.

Thoughts on Django’s Core
Django's longevity is attributed to its stable core, time-based releases, and API stability policy. While there's enthusiasm for expanding Django's features, the author argues that the core should remain focused and prioritize stability. Instead, the community should embrace third-party packages as a way to innovate and extend Django's capabilities without compromising its core.

Understanding Multimodal LLMs
An introduction to the main techniques and latest models.

The Polars vs pandas difference nobody is talking about
A closer look at non-elementary group-by aggregations.

The Practical Guide to Scaling Django
Most Django scaling guides focus on theoretical maximums. But real scaling isn’t about handling hypothetical millions of users - it’s about systematically eliminating bottlenecks as you grow. Here’s how to do it right, based on patterns that work in production.

Proposal for a Django project template
The author's take on what could be a project template for Django advanced usage, with modern tooling (for Python and UI dependencies, as well as configuration/environment management), but not too opinionated.

Flash Attention derived and coded from first principles with Triton (Python) 
This video provides an in-depth, step-by-step explanation of Flash Attention, covering its derivation, implementation, and underlying concepts. The presenter explains CUDA, Triton, and autograd from scratch, then derives and codes both the forward and backward passes of Flash Attention.
