Hey all. If you're like me and you like using python3 -m venv for virtual environments but also want some fast venv switching at the command line (Linux/MacOS) then might try this dead simple Bash script of mine — venv-activate— for venv creation and tab complete assisted venv switching. :wave:
python3 -m venv venv && . venv/bin/activate && pip install -U pip setuptools &> /dev/null
@mkennedy_twitter Indeed. Hard to get more lightweight than that. :) You make a good point though that there isn't really a clear use case to not upgrade and install pip, setuptools, and wheel — so I've fixed it. :+1:
The main reason I do a Bash functions rather than something like the above is just because I want to use (some) virtual environments in more ways then just being bound to a single project, and being able to know that if I want physics and stats libraries that I can just tab complete my way there is worth it to avoid interruption at times. :)
render_template(...) I've created a gist so that you can see my code. app-mod.py is how I got it to work after reading Flask docs. app.py is close to what is used in the course video. https://gist.github.com/ryentzer/c67af920790d750cc2ac1a1223ab501b
@ryentzer The problem with blueprints is that Flask does not run your main method. If you start your app as flask run rather than python app.py, it won’t work as is. Also, PyCharm can sometimes detect Flask projects and implicitly use flask run. The fix is to add an else to the main invocation:
```
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
else:
register_blueprints()
# and stuff like setup DB that would have been done in main
def __record_purchase_and_transaction(user, order, charge, amount_paid: float, description: str, payment_type: str,
payment_method: str):
mongosetup.init_db()
payment = Purchase(payment_type=payment_type,
payment_method=payment_method,
description=description,
paid=True,
amount_paid=amount_paid,
date_initiated=datetime.datetime.now(),
currency_paid=charge.currency,
stripe_charge_id=charge.id,
item_fee_amount=order.item_total_cost,
service_fee_amount=order.service_cost)
order.status = 3 # just for sake of saying that order has been paid + received
order.purchase_details = payment
order.save()
