The key to successful caching is understanding your application’s bottlenecks and choosing the right caching strategy for each use case. So before doing any caching or performance improvement, track the bottlenecks using tools like django debug toolbar, django silk. You can also use locust for performance/load testing.

Test your client: Use mock servers (e.g., httpbin.org) to test edge cases.
-
pytest
The pytest framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet scales to support complex functional testing
As this tool was built using Python, I looked for industry standard frameworks for testing within the Python ecosystem. After spending some time comparing different libraries, I selected pytest. This testing framework is straightforward to use, offers a rich feature set, and is widely adopted by the Python community.

undetected-chromedriver
Custom Selenium Chromedriver | Zero-Config | Passes ALL bot mitigation systems (like Distil / Imperva/ Datadadome / CloudFlare IUAM)
More importantly, blocking doesn't actually work. There is no identity system baked into HTTP, so circumventing these blocks is very easy. It's so mundane that it’s offered as a professional service, and popular modules exist to make your bot look like a default browser. There simply is no reliable way to block automated scraping while allowing normal use without massively impacting the openness of the web.

For PyGeoIf, version 0.7 had been released in 2017. Four years later, in September 2021, I published the first beta of the 1.0 series: fully type-annotated, statically checked with mypy, and tested using property-based testing with Hypothesis and improved tests with mutation testing with MutMut. By September 2022, version 1.0 was stable, and by October 2025, it had matured to version 1.5.

I am appalled and delighted by this.
It feels like an AI cousin to the Python error steamroller (https://github.com/ajalt/fuckitpy).
Whenever I see this sort of thing I think that there might be a non-evil application for it. But then I think ... where's the fun in that?
