Python Code Examples

Blog Website with Django

        
            from django.db import models

            class Post(models.Model):
                title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
                content = models.TextField()
                created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

                def __str__(self):
                    return self.title
        
    

Personal Portfolio Site with Flask

        
            from flask import Flask, render_template

            app = Flask(__name__)

            @app.route('/')
            def home():
                return render_template('portfolio.html')

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                app.run(debug=True)
        
    

RESTful API with Pyramid

        
            from pyramid.config import Configurator
            from pyramid.response import Response

            def hello_world(request):
                return Response('Hello, World!')

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                with Configurator() as config:
                    config.add_route('hello', '/')
                    config.add_view(hello_world, route_name='hello')
                    app = config.make_wsgi_app()
        
    

Simple To-Do List App with Bottle

        
            from bottle import Bottle, run, template, request

            app = Bottle()
            tasks = []

            @app.route('/')
            def index():
                return template('index', tasks=tasks)

            @app.post('/add')
            def add_task():
                task = request.forms.get('task')
                tasks.append(task)
                return template('index', tasks=tasks)

            run(app, host='localhost', port=8080)
        
    

Real-World Applications

Python web development has been instrumental in building various real-world applications. Prominent examples include:

• Spotify: Utilizes Python for backend services that handle data analysis and logic for their streaming services.
• Reddit: The site has been developed using Python, particularly with the PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper) to interact with Reddit’s API.
• Yelp: Employs Python in their web applications, leveraging its capabilities for handling high traffic and data management.
• Dropbox: Uses Python for server-side logic to enable file synchronization and sharing functionalities across multiple platforms.
