⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The session aimed to optimize Streamlit applications and Python packaging for improved modularity, error handling, and distribution.

Key Activities:

• Implemented a JSON schema editor in Streamlit for better configuration management.
• Centralized path management in Streamlit apps using a paths.py file.
• Fixed pipeline execution issues in Streamlit, enhancing the UI and button functionality.
• Developed a monetization strategy for a job parsing pipeline, including cloud and local distribution.
• Proposed a directory structure for Python packaging and created an installable package.
• Used pipreqs to generate requirements.txt and optimized Streamlit app structure.
• Addressed Python and Streamlit issues on Ubuntu, fixing import errors and subprocess invocation.
• Improved path handling and refactored Python script execution for modularity.
• Managed environment variables for subprocesses and created a Streamlit UI for API key configuration.

Achievements:

• Successfully integrated a JSON schema editor into Streamlit.
• Established best practices for path and file management in Python packages.
• Enhanced user experience in Streamlit applications.
• Developed a comprehensive monetization and distribution strategy for job parsing.
• Improved error handling and modularity in Python scripts.

Pending Tasks:

• Further refinement of the monetization strategy for the job parsing pipeline.
• Additional testing of the new directory structure and packaging process.
• Continued optimization of subprocess management in Python scripts.
