Python backend

Usage

  • poetry install to install dependencies
  • poetry run python xyz.py to run a Python script
  • poetry run pytest to run tests
  • poetry run pytest -k fridays to run only tests with "fridays" in their definition name
  • poetry run uvicorn media_impact_monitor.api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 to serve the API
  • poetry run py-spy record -o profile.svg -- python xyz.py to do profiling

Deployment

Continuous deployment is currently set up with railway.app.

Important: Configure a PORT environment variable there, otherwise the app will not be accessible and will be Shutting down for no apparent reason.

Mount a persistent disk to /app/backend-python/cache.

3rd party services

These are configured via a .env file, see .env.example. You will need to add the required API keys (BUNDESTAG_API_KEY, ACLED_KEY, etc.).

Azure OpenAI

We have defined the following endpoints on Azure OpenAI:

  • gpt-4o-mini: gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18 (128k tokens context)

Azure OpenAI uses content filters, also for the input texts, that cannot be switched off, but their thresholds can be set to high.

Similar models are also available via OpenAI directly.

Conventions

Date types

  • For dates use datetime.date, also within Pandas dataframes (where usually one might use pd.Timestamp, but for consistency we do not).
  • For datetimes: t.b.d.
