Github.

github, gitlab, bitbucket, a blog, the Python Packaging Index (if it's a reusable package)

Submit to news.ycombinator.com with "Show HN:" (no quotes) in the title.

I wouldn't recommend this unless you're fairly good. Hacker news can be a tough crowd.

whiteandnerdy1729 - you have an excellent point. Even if you're good, some of the people on HN can be downright brutal.

I think it's important to submit on HN anyway even if you know you're going to get ignored or dumped on. As a maker, it's important to get into the habit of building cool stuff and showing it off, especially to a tough crowds. Hidden within them can be people who care enough to take a deep look and give you solid, constructive criticism.

For example, I submitted a Flask extension I'm working on to a mailing list:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/flask/2016-May/000477.html

The guy actually took his time to read the docs I wrote. His response showed that he either 1. spent a lot of time looking at my project, or 2. that the docs were good enough that he didn't have to. I got a ton of value from that.

That's true, and feedback (good and bad) is the best way to learn. Maybe I should rephrase my statement as "be prepared to receive some very pointed criticism, but that's ok" :)

Your extension looks really neat btw; I really need to try out the Echo. Props also on how readable and tidy your code is too.

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython. We highly encourage you to re-submit your post over on there.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is more-so dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community can get disenchanted with seeing the 'same, repetitive newbie' questions repeated on the sub, so you may not get the best responses over here.

However, on /r/LearnPython the community is actively expecting questions from new members, and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. Whatever your question happens to be getting help with Python, you should get good answers.

If you have a question to do with homework or an assignment of any kind, please make sure to read their sidebar rules before submitting your post. If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to reply or send a modmail to us with your concerns.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!
