  Project mention: Do you know any Python projects on Github that are examples of best practices and good architecture? | reddit.com/r/learnpython | 2021-05-05

  This may not be exactly what you asked for but I found contributing to open source projects really exposed me to different approaches I never would have considered and may not have fully grasped had I not had to actually dive into the code to solve an issue. Falcon is a great place to start and the guys are super friendly there.

  Project mention: Custom error messages with flask vs flask_restful | reddit.com/r/flask | 2021-04-25

  This has talked about in a similar matter: https://github.com/flask-restful/flask-restful/issues/221. However I'm still adamant about just using flask for exception handling. Unless I missed something,I'm having a hard time figuring out how to accomplish this in hopes to get rid of the string concatenation that flask_restful applies to the error message.

  Easily share data across your company via SQL queries. From Grove Collab.

  

  Project mention: Show HN: Django SQL Dashboard | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-05-10

  Very cool! I wrote Django SQL Explorer[0], and this looks very similar in spirit, but an emphasis on visualization that Explorer does not have (to the extent it has a focus, it's more on providing a reasonable way to write complex queries and re-use them).

  These types of tools are extremely handy.
