4 built-in data types in Python

There are 4 built-in data types available in python. Lets learn about them

List:

Lists are used to store multiple items in a single variable.

List items are ordered, changeable, and allow duplicate values. List items are indexed, the first item has index [0], the second item has index [1] etc.

Python Tuples:

Tuples are used to store multiple items in a single variable. A tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable.

Tuples are unchangeable, meaning that we cannot change, add or remove items after the tuple has been created.

Since tuples are indexed, they can have items with the same value:

thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry", "apple", "cherry")
print(thistuple)

Python Sets:

A set is a collection which is unordered, unchangeable*, and unindexed.

Set items are unordered, unchangeable, and do not allow duplicate values.

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
print(thisset)

Sets cannot have two items with the same value. Duplicate values will be ignored:

Django pk vs id

Django pk VS id If you don’t specify primary_key=True for any fields in your model, Django will automatically add an IntegerField to hold the primary key, so you don’t need to set primary_key=True on any of your fields unless you want to override the default primary-key behavior. The primary key field is read-only. If you change the value of the primary key on an existing object and then save it, a new object will be created alongside the old one Example: class UserProfile ( models . Model ): name = models . CharField ( max_length = 500 ) email = models . EmailField ( primary_key = True ) def __str__ ( self ): return self . name suppose we have this model. In this model we have make email field as primary key. now django default primary key id field will be gone. It'll remove from database. we can not query as UserProfile.objects.get(id=1) after make email as primary key this query will throw an error. Now we have to use pk Us...

WSGI vs ASGI: What Every Django Developer Should Know !

If you've been developing with Django, you've probably come across WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface), the trusted friend of all traditional, synchronous web apps. But in this fast-moving, real-time world, you may have also heard about its dynamic, asynchronous cousin ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface). WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface): 1. The OG (original) Django interface, designed for synchronous HTTP requests. 2. Perfect for blogs, CMS, e-commerce, and standard web apps. 3. Uses servers like Gunicorn or uWSGI. 4. Limited to handling one request at a time. ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface): 1. The modern, scalable interface designed for asynchronous web apps. 2. Ideal for handling WebSockets, HTTP/2, and real-time features like chat apps. 3. Built for high concurrency; uses Uvicorn, Daphne, or similar ASGI servers. 4. Allows you to leverage Python’s async and await for non-blocking code. When to Choose What: WSGI: Traditional apps where synchronou...

Importance JWT and How Do JWTs Work in Django

Importance of JWT JWT (JSON Web Token) is a form of transmitting a JSON object as information between parties. Let's learn more about what JWTs are and how they work. JWTs are important for two main reasons: 1. Authorization 2. Information exchange JSON Web Token comprises 3 strings separated by “.” as follows where each part is encoded with base64url encoding : “eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJyb2xlIjp7ImlkIjoiNTlhZDFmZTI0MDVkNzk0YTFkYWQ2YmFkIiwiZGlzcGxheV9uYW1lIjoiQWRtaW4iLCJyb2xlX3R5cGUiOiJhZG1pbiJ9LCJpZCI6IlwiNTliYmJjODc0MDVkNzk0NjYwNGEzZjUyXCIiLCJlbWFpbCI6Imp5b3RpZ2F1dGFtMTA4QGdtYWlsLmNvbSJ9.oGA-goFi7ee6DdKn0Z4sctomaY6Ki0mfuJfxT4OK9WA” 1. Header 2. Payload 3. Signature Header: The header contains: t ype: the specification that the token is a JWT algorithm: the signing algorithm used to sign said token Algorithms that are used to sign include RSA, HMAC, or SHA256. The signatures for the tokens serve two purposes – integrity ...
