Show HN: Practical Python Projects book release
Hi everyone!<p>I just released the Practical Python Projects book! (https://practicalpython.yasoob.me)<p>I am happy to announce the first version as a release candidate. I have poured a lot of love into writing this book and would love to hear what you guys think. (A limited 100% off and discount coupons at the end)<p>This is not a pure beginner book. The book does assume some background Python knowledge. You need to know the basics like methods, functions, classes, and such. If I use something that is not typically covered in beginner Python books, I will explain it before I use it. There are no tests for these projects as they are really small and teach you how to glue different pieces together.<p>Some projects that we will be making<p>- A Twilio bot that keeps you updated with the latest match scores from the FIFA World Cup<p>- A Facebook Messenger bot the shares latest memes, jokes, and shower-thoughts scraped from Reddit<p>- An automated invoice generator and deploying it using Flask<p>- Making automated cinema-preshow by downloading and stitching together related movie trailers using moviepy<p>- Generating automated article summaries and overlaying them on top of images<p>- Understanding and decoding JPEG images using vanilla Python<p>- Creating a GUI application using PyQt for downloading online videos<p>- Implementing a TUI email client that allows reading emails in the terminal<p>The first 50 people can use the "hn-love" coupon (without the quotation marks) to get 15% off. I am also offering a 30-day no-questions-asked refund policy if you don't enjoy this book and don't learn anything new.<p>You can buy the book from https://practicalpython.yasoob.me
You can get a free sample chapter from here: https://practicalpython.yasoob.me/sample/chapter2.pdf
You can learn more about my writing style by reading any of my recent articles over at https://yasoob.me<p>(For detailed FAQ, you can head over to the book website: https://practicalpython.yasoob.me)

Show HN: We made a CLI and API to automate inbound email
Hi HN! We're a 5 person team working on simplifying the creation of email apps. Right now, most email services focus on outbound emails (newsletters, transactional, delivery), but that doesn't solve the fact that we all hate receiving them. You can try it at https://mailscript.com<p>Mailscript lets you create programmable email addresses. It works headless, via the CLI, API (we use Swagger to support most languages). You can even run it as a daemon on a server (to run functions when emails arrive).<p>Once you get username@mailscript.com, you can create as many aliases as you'd like (including on the fly support for *@username.mailscript.com). Just like in Gmail, we support adding . or +. Every address gets an SMTP key as well, so you can use your favourite email client e.g. Gmail...<p>We've been working hard on making the CLI and API easy to understand, and take a trigger/actions approach. We even have parsers for GitHub emails (so you can automate Issues, PRs, Actions). You can see what the code looks like in our templates: https://github.com/mailscript/cli/tree/main/packages/templates<p>Example use cases:
- send Zabbix alerts to SMS if 2 messages in one minute!
- post Github releases to Discord
- save pdf attachments to Google Drive
- create shared email addresses
You can even collaborate on your email infrastructure on GitHub by exporting it as a YAML file.<p>If you'd like to learn more:
Docs: https://docs.mailscript.com
API playground: https://api.mailscript.com<p>We'd really like to hear your feedback, especially the harsh criticism. If you'd like any help with building automations, we'll take the time to help you code them. Feel free to ask for help on our Discord (https://discord.gg/US24HAVYq2) or at contact@mailscript.com!
