+n'thing the "learn docker" thing, you'll likely be asked to share your code challenges via docker and if you're still learning that as you're doing the challenge, you won't have a great time of it. I.e. me, wednesday evening, the night before the code challenge is due, staring at a "entrypoint.sh file or folder not found" error for the millionth time while trying to build with docker compose to share to dockerhub when everything had been working perfectly fine on my local machine up til that point. I'd been using the docker files locally just fine and I naively assumed that it would then just continue working, but uh.. nope

Re: comments

I tend to comment too much, but everybody has their own styles and I find it's easier to skip over what's there rather than scratch your head at what isn't.

To that end I like writing my plan for what needs to happen in VERY broad pseudocode, almost like a sort of TODO list, and filling out each point as I start coding. Afterwards I remove the comments that are now made self-explanatory by the code, or update/clarify the ones that might have confusing code following it, to provide some context

It's probably excessive but at least then you have the extra layer of "ah, here's what they WANTED to do, versus what they ACTUALLY did", and you can always tidy it up later.. but adding comments to code you didn't write and/or don't remember is pretty rough and will waste a lot of time later on

Mind expanding on this or pointing to some supporting sources? This is something I feel is right in my bones, but my formal education was all Java back in the early 2000s and everything back then was subclasses out the rear end, getters and setters, encapsulation above all. I didn�t write much code between 2008-2020 and coming back to it now, it seems like a lot of that was thrown out the window, especially in Python.

I would also be curious to read some material on this.. is the idea to use mixins rather than subclassing ad nauseam? Personally I don't subclass a huge amount but I feel like I've see a lot of people aggressively using it

this might be ugly or have weird edge cases (something to do with modules and period-separated namespaced exceptions? cant remember, might be confusing it with something else), but i'd probably either use isinstance(e, SomeException) (if you want to catch subclasses as well) or type(e).__name__ == 'SomeException' if you need to be precise

exceptions:

code:

class SightException(Exception):
	pass

class SmellException(Exception):
	pass

class HalitosisException(SmellException):
	# subclass
	pass

with isinstance

code:

try:
	try_to_flirt()
except Exception as e:
	log_to_db('failed to flirt')
	if isinstance(e, SightException):
		comb_hair()
	elif isinstance(e, SmellException):  # will also catch subclasses, e.g. HalitosisException !
		shower()
		brush_teeth()
	elif isinstance(e, HalitosisException):  # will never trigger due to above !
		brush_teeth()

with type().__name__

code:

try:
	try_to_flirt()
except Exception as e:
	log_to_db('failed to flirt')
	if type(e).__name__ == 'SightException':
		comb_hair()

In their section on fair use section they mention:

quote:

Locally cache resources whenever you request them.

Which I would interpret to mean, they'd prefer requests to the API only when getting it for the first time or checking for updates, rather than being designed as a free server. they say it's an educational service so i think using it for production-level anything is probably not intended

If your estimated usage is very light then they wont even notice it but if there's the potential for a lot of calls (what if the alpha goes viral and 1 billion people start playing it! or, far more likely, there's some bug or other that just silently spams out infinite api calls and gets you banned) then it would be better if it were pointing at a cached copy of the data instead

generally i don't trust my code to point at external servers during development, even if i 100% need to be getting data externally i'll usually just set it up first to check the connection and initial data, then comment it out, mock or use a local/cached version of the data while working on everything, including error handling and try/retry/backoff limits and so forth, then re-connect it to the external api towards the end to test

e: although thinking about it, i normally work with files that are a lot bigger than what a single pokemon definition would need. might be overkill

sorry I'm a bit out of it today and was thinking of javascript index files for importing

look inside the /books/ directory (it'll contain a package) and see what it's doing. The empty __init__.py is just a placeholder file that tells python to treat the directory as a package, so you can import it and do stuff with it

so either your import line is pointing at the wrong thing (i.e. it should be: from not_books import urls) or it's trying to import the wrong thing (i.e.: from books import not_urls)

Dunno how much this will help but if you throw the below example into python (an online compiler can be helpful for simple stuff) and run it, it might help you visualise what's happening when you try to loop through the index and values of an array

(edit: in the way that you've tried! Other people are very correct in saying that if you need to iterate through a list, just do it, you don't need the index for what you're doing. This post is because it looked like you might be struggling with arrays and indices in general, for eg if you've tried dabbling in JavaScript where it's a lot more common in beginner courses.. or at least it used to be)

Python code:

def split_string(text):
    text_length = len(text)
    print(f"Text: '{text}' Length: {text_length}")
    print(list(text))
    for index in range(text_length):
        character = text[index]
        print(f"Index: {index} Character: {character}")
        
split_string("butts")
split_string("Each element in an array has a positional index.")
split_string("Arrays can be different lengths.")

Sample results for butts:

Python code:

Text: 'butts' Length: 5
['b', 'u', 't', 't', 's']
Index: 0 Character: b
Index: 1 Character: u
Index: 2 Character: t
Index: 3 Character: t
Index: 4 Character: s

fe: If you want to think more about what

Python code:

for index in range(text_length)

is doing, consider:

Python code:

print(list(range(10)))

# => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

(range() is a special function so you just need to convert the output into a list to display it properly)

The while loop checks labs but what you're converting to a float is grade1. So labs will only ever be a string as that's the input var

And you're trying to convert the input to a float outside the try except so it doesn't have error handling on invalid inputs, that's where the error is coming from

Response is the class (from tweepy.client.Response) which has the properties data, includes, errors, and meta, so:

That error means you're trying to treat a list like an object

Look for sendkeys, you can see it in this line - that's what's triggering the error

code:

search.sendkeys('wake tech')

So follow that to where search is defined

code:

search = driver.find_elements(By.NAME, 'title')

Well from the name alone you can guess it'll return a list or some type of iterable, you should be either looping through the results or calling a different function that returns only one object rather than a list

Also, I didn't look too closely at the rest but there's likely the same error as well as a typo in your test wake_test() -- findelements not find_elements, and again it treats the list like an object

e: I haven't used selenium in years but in your case I'd check if there's find_element rather than find_elements since you seem relatively certain there's only going to be one result

Speaking of conda, I was checking it out and wanted to fool around with spacy transformers with hunspell and i just ran into so many issues, like conda didn't have all the packages so I had to install some through pip through conda, then hunspell install fails because it can't find the C++ build tools (although I'm pretty sure I installed them, it worked through normal pip iirc). I think a big part of the problem is trying to do it in windows, I'm going to give it another go on Linux tonight, but the missing conda packages didn't inspire a huge amount of confidence.. is there a significant gap between pip and conda for supported packages?

^ That's precisely my use case, the stuff I want to play around with requires CUDA and a bunch of other non-python dependencies, and I think what was happening (even on linux, once I swapped away from windows) was the standard conda, plus conda-forge, was struggling with figuring it all out and that was resulting in some weird bugs and then just hanging / absurdly install times where it just looks like it's crashed. I found some stuff that suggested mamba, installed the solver library for that, and everything went smoothly with mamba doing the package dependency calculating stuff

I'm definitely going to use this more in future, pip winds up doing some bizarre things so I'm happy to have finally stumbled into what looks like a better way of doing things. All in all I'm just happy everything is installed and I can finally start playing around with it

# user_group.py

from app.user import User
from app.group import Group

def get_user_groups(user_id: int) -> list[Group]:
	# do the thing
	return groups

def get_group_users(group_id: int) -> list[User]:
	# do the thing
	return users

or to omit the class from the list type entirely? i.e.

I think I posted in this thread when I was doing the coding challenge for my current job a couple years ago, freaking out because the key logic of the challenge was a knacksack problem that expected deterministic programming, which I never studied in my ancient history degree. I came up with some dodgy "good enough for the requirements as they stand", added some explanations for how I'd clarify the specs and actual use cases and so forth, and the only feedback I got (apart from being hired, which I guess is the main thing) is that I need to add more and better comments

And then I saw the leads/hiring devs code and i gotta say, people in glass houses buddy

But it is very stressful and imposer syndrome-y, until you actually see what 99% of your actual workload in a real job is like.

I'm a backend dev for a consultancy and about 80% of my workload is building unspecced ambitious new tools for internal stakeholders with infinitive complexity requirements that either get "parked indefinitely" once I ask them to test the finished product or it gets released and then immediately forgotten about and abandoned because they're already desperate for the next highest priority project that's going to 'solve everything', or people demanding I spend a month building a similarly unspecced automation pipeline to save a cumulative 4 hours of manual data entry per year, which will also get abandoned or outdated 2 weeks after it's released

And before you tell me to push back on it, my company refuses to hire product managers, I've worked as one in my last two jobs and that experience was part of the reason to hire me, except when I try to push back on "everything is highest priority all the time and needs to be developed simultaneously" nonsense or try to manage expectations or even just ask for actual requirements, my boss's boss steps in and basically demands to know why I'm being antagonistic or shirking work

So it turns out that they're happy with 80% of my work taking ages and then going straight down the drain so long as I just say "sure, I'll work on it soon" and they don't have to do any actual managing

Lol. Lmao. Just guffaws all round

On the upside, because there's literally no oversight and I work from home, there's almost zero pressure and I have a very chill working life, and they even authorised me to go down to 80% time next month (with pay cut unfortunately) and I get to teach myself a bunch of poo poo that would otherwise be impossible if my employer was any shade of competent.

I'm not a flask/sqlalchemy person but is it possible that there already exists a table mapped to the User class (created during previous steps) called "user", and now in the latest step you're trying to tell it that the User class actually maps to an overriding table called "users" ? It looks like you added this in after already creating the table from the class:

code:

__tablename__ = 'users'

and I think flask-sqlalchemy might automatically create table names from class names by just snakecasing it, rather than automatically adding plurals. Because the error you've posted seems to suggest that there's a conflict where the 'User' class is already mapped to a table somewhere, and it's not the table specified by __tablename__

so that they know i know it's not production-ready, but validation and exception handling is beyond the scope of the task (or ticket, if you're dealing with lazy product managers)

as far as im aware the above code wont break for any value of text or num, so long as they're strings and integers respectively. 0, -1, or an empty string should all work and just return '' (i.e. an empty string). and value[:3] will just return whatever it has if the length is less than 3

yeah, why are you writing it like that? why not just write

Python code:

if (x == 'd' and y == 3) or (x in ['a', 'b', 'c']):
    print('right')
else:
    print('wrong')

the reason your example doesn't work the way you want it to is because combing conditions with an 'or' means that it checks if any of the conditions is True and goes down that path

and the second condition evaluates to True because x is NOT in ['a', 'b', 'c']

so what it's doing in your example is:

Python code:

# for x == 'd' and y == 3

=> not (x == �d� and y == 3) or (x not in [�a�, �b�, �c�])

=> not (True) or (True)

=> False or True

so it goes down that path every time

e: using negatives like that is absolute hell though so if i caught anybody writing code like that i would judge them forever and probably try to get them fired. out of a cannon, into a volcano

I have to do it this way because these two new conditions are just an addition to a very long list of existing conditions, and at least some of them will need to be negated. I inherited this program and I can�t change how it�s structured without causing a lot of drama so I�m trying to do the best with what I have. I agree that it�s going to be a (more) confusing mess from here on out.

refactor the whole thing imo

but if you're determined to go ahead with it, this should do what you're asking

Python code:

if not ((x == 'd' and y == 3) or (x in ['a', 'b', 'c'])):
    print('wrong')
else:
    print('right')

hope that code has amazing unit tests btw

Perfect, thank you. And I'm sure that team doesn't do any unit testing. I got pulled in to help out because they were running behind. At the end of the month this program will not be my problem again until an ironic reorg forces me to maintain it.

Here's a more accurate representation of the issue, but pretend there are about 20 more variables that need to be tested:
Python code:
v = 'N'
w = 'N'
x = 'a'
y = 3

if (v == 'N' or w == 'N') and (not ((x == 'd' and y == 3) or (x in ['a', 'b', 'c']))):
    print('do something')
else:
    print('do something else')

i wonder why they're running behind!

i also don't mean to take a dig at you, capitalism makes us do terrible, terrible things, code included

but you really sure you can't convince them to implement something more maintainable? pydantic or if you cant use external tools, do it in a class that's just a little cleaner? something like

Python code:

class ConditionsWrangler:
    """You have conditions? We have a wrangler."""
    v = 'N'
    w = 'N'
    x = 'd'
    y = 3

    # individual checks
    def v_or_w_is_N(self) -> bool:
        return self.v == 'N' or self.w == 'N'

    # helper checks
    def x_is_d_and_y_is_3(self) -> bool:
        return self.x == 'd' and self.y == 3
    
    def x_in_abc(self) -> bool:
        return self.x in ['a', 'b', 'c']
    
    # grouped conditions
    def x_is_valid(self) -> bool:
        return self.x_is_d_and_y_is_3() or self.x_in_abc()

    @property
    def is_valid(self) -> bool:
        return all(condition for condition in [
            self.v_or_w_is_N(),
            self.x_is_valid()
        ])

whatever = ConditionsWrangler()

if whatever.is_valid:
    print('right')
else:
    print('wrong')

i'm sure there are many better ways of doing it, but i'd still rather see the above than a long list of weird if or not and spaghetti conditions
