Django Authentication Part 3: Adding Python Social Auth

This is the third article in a multipart series on implementing the Django authentication system. I will continue to use the same demo survey application, which I refer to as Djang Survey, to aid in the demonstration of the many features of Django authentication. This third article focusses on how to integrate social authentication with the help of Python Social Auth. Specifically, I will be showing how to integrate user login via Google OAuth2.

Building a Text Analytics App in Python with Flask, Requests, BeautifulSoup, and TextBlob

This article introduces how to build a Python and Flask based web application for performing text analytics on internet resources such as blog pages. To perform text analytics I will utilizing Requests for fetching web pages, BeautifulSoup for parsing html and extracting the viewable text and, apply the TextBlob package to calculate a few sentiment scores.

Deploying a Python Text Analytics App with Flask, uWSGI and Nginx

This is a continuation from Building a Text Analytics App in Python with Flask, Requests, BeautifulSoup, and TextBlob and will focus on deploying the previously built app to a cloud hosted Ubuntu LTS v18 server. For this article I will be running the Flask app within the Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) compliant Python application server known as uWSGI. The Flask app / uWSGI server will sit behind an Nginx web server which serves static content plus reverse proxy non-static requests to uWSGI

How To Compress and Extract Zip Files with Python

In this How To article I demonstrate using Python to compress files into zip archives along with extracting files contained in a zip archive. The venerable, batteries included, Python standard library provides the zipfile module which exposes a well designed API for working with zip archives in a platform manner and will be the focus of this article.
