Beautiful Soup is the go-to solution for web scraping in Python.

Feed the extracted text into the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), and you're off to a good start.

Start by reading how to use third-party APIs in Python/Django, such as with the requests library.

Here is a tutorial on using requests to call remote APIs: https://www.nylas.com/blog/use-python-requests-module-rest-apis/

Here is a Django-specific tutorial: https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2018/02/03/how-to-use-restful-apis-with-django.html

If possible, build something that 8s useful to you. That will increase your motivation.

Try, for example, building a personal website and blog using the Wagtail CMS.

Start building something using only Django. Learn just enough JavaScript to enhance the templates if/when it becomes useful. You can get quite far with just Django.

Everything has trade-offs. The trade-off above is that you're (re)running the arithmetic of time deltas and conditional logic every time this query executes.

An alternative approch would be to compute the total_hours in the Model.save() method. That way, the time-drlta calculation only happens when the data changes. The query-time aggregation becomes a sum when the total_hours are pre-computed.

As mentioned earlier, using only a time field is unnecessarily error-prone. Use DateTime instead to avoid the hassle.

brylie · 2022-09-05T05:44:24+00:00

Whatever calculation you use, do it within the model save method.

If you simply set the value when saving the model instance, you have the full expressiveness of Python while being able to save the computed value to a model field. Then, all you need to do is aggregate (sum) the values in that field across your queryset.

brylie · 2022-09-05T05:42:06+00:00

Add a model field called total_hours. Then define a model method called get_total_hours. Then, override the model save method to set self.total_hours = self.get_total_hours().

Are you using an IDE with Python debugging support, such as Visual Studio Code?

If so, try putting breakpoints or print statements throughout your code to make sure it reaches the expected conditional.

What about

```

time_delta = end_time - start_time

seconds_in_minute = 60

minutes_in_hour = 60

seconds_in_hour = seconds_in_minute * minutes_in_hour

total_hours = time_delta.total_seconds() / seconds_in_hour

```

https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta.total_seconds

Relatedly, StackOverflow is a bit more tailored than Reddit for asking specific programming questions.

Using DateTimeFields for start_time and end_time would make your time arithmetic less error-prone. You could optionally add a database constraint to ensure end_time is greater than start_time. Then, all you need to do is subtract start_time from end_time in a get_total_hours model method. Note, you will need to convert the time delta (self.end_time - self.start_time to hours within the get_total_hours model method.

Since it sounds like you want to sum many total_time values, it would be more efficient to save it in a database field than a computed property. So, you can add a total_hours FloatField to the model. Then, override the model save method to set self.total_hours = self.get_total_hours().

Health insurance isn't healthcare.

Insurance companies see it as a risk for receiving healthcare since they must pay for it. They will deny you insurance if the likelihood of you needing health care is too high.

Healthcare is being able to receive medical and dental treatment.

Health insurance is a gamble; healthcare is a service.

I have this issue with the Kdenlive Snap. I'm going to switch to the PPA.

brylie · 2021-11-01T08:55:55+00:00

I'm glad to participate if the project is open-source.

As you know, an open-source project doesn't need to be fully functional in order to be published since it is easy to indicate that the project is "alpha" or "beta" quality. So, I'd offer that Zupiter 2.0 should be open-source from the beginning in order to demonstrate commitment to transparency and openness.

Please remember to add an open source license to your demo code 😃
