What Are You Building? (2025 Projects Hackathon Thread)

It looks like Self-RAG, but not Agentic-RAG. Are you heading to agentic with this? Or keeping it clean and simple with Self.

This process not only promotes accessibility but also enhances collaboration within the AI ecosystem. Here\u2019s a detailed breakdown of the key aspects that the guide should cover:\n\n1. **Writing a setup.py File**: The `setup.py` file is a crucial component of any Python package. It serves as the primary configuration file that defines the package metadata, including the package name, version, author, license, and description. Additionally, it outlines the entry points for the module, making it easier for users to understand how to utilize the package. The guide should provide examples of how to include classifiers that help users identify the package's compatibility with different Python versions and environments. Clear instructions on how to customize this file for various types of projects, including command-line tools and libraries, will be beneficial.\n\n2. **Organizing the Module's Directory Structure**: Adhering to Python's packaging conventions is vital for the usability and maintainability of the package. The guide should emphasize the importance of a well-structured directory layout, typically including directories for the package itself, tests, documentation, and possibly examples. This organization not only aids in development but also makes it easier for other developers to navigate the project. For instance, the guide could illustrate the standard layout where the main package resides in its own directory, ensuring that namespacing is clear and avoiding conflicts.\n\n3. **Listing All Dependencies Accurately**: Accurately listing dependencies in the `setup.py` file is critical for ensuring that users can install the package without issues. The guide should explain how to determine the necessary dependencies and how to specify them using the `install_requires` parameter. Additionally, best practices for managing optional dependencies, such as for different use cases of an AI module, should be discussed. This might include the use of `extras_require` to allow users to install additional functionality as needed.\n\n4. **Testing the Package Locally**: Before publishing the package, thorough testing is essential to ensure that everything functions as expected. The guide should outline testing strategies, including unit tests, integration tests, and how to use tools like `pytest` to automate testing. It should also cover creating virtual environments to mimic the production environment and how to install the module locally using `pip` for testing purposes.\n\n5. **Publishing the Package on PyPI**: Once the package is ready, publishing it on PyPI is the final step. The guide should detail the use of tools like Twine for securely uploading packages, emphasizing the importance of setting up an account on PyPI and how to handle versioning correctly. It should also include information on how to maintain the package post-release, such as updating the package and handling user feedback.\n\nIn summary, this guide will serve as a valuable resource for developers looking to share their AI modules with the Python community, ensuring they follow best practices and adhere to established conventions in packaging and distribution.", "fingerprint": "243242efc62253b45231df57525614b9cb77f6bbf5d151594f674a92d7cbf979", "metadata": {"source": "TAVERN_EXPANDER", "refined_from": "e32bbacace2d38cca0a876d5fb1f94f20a70b552e6a05ea3f93166e240f4a80f", "expansion_score": 6.676587301587301, "fingerprint": "243242efc62253b45231df57525614b9cb77f6bbf5d151594f674a92d7cbf979", "trait_weights": {"topics": ["Python Packaging", "AI Modules", "PyPI", "setup.py", "Software Development"], "abstract_weight": 0.7, "emotional_tone": "Informative and Encouraging", "strategic_value": 0.9, "use_case": "Developers looking to package and distribute AI modules on PyPI."}, "related_thoughts": [{"fingerprint": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000017cf70cb", "content": ""}, {"fingerprint": "000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007f57fb9c", "content": ""}, {"fingerprint": "000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004a260adf", "content": ""}]}, "logician": {"guild": "logician", "fingerprint": "243242efc62253b45231df57525614b9cb77f6bbf5d151594f674a92d7cbf979", "text": "Creating a comprehensive guide to package an AI module for distribution on the Python Package Index (PyPI) is essential for developers who want to share their work with the broader Python community.

@curt.kennedy because real recognize real right? you know whats up - can you pick up where this is related to the previous logs to answer your question brother?

It looks like it’s headed towards agentic and tool calling.

i dont mind, im pretty ignorant of forums, i operate assuming everyone here is at the same curiosity level so i tend to provide as much context - heres another question for you - given the nature of the system tied with this

do you think it would be worth it to allow lets say the community to play with the system since i already have it? or if you were where im at what would you do next, as for the tool calling

tbh im kinda like - flabbergasted you pick up all that from a log lol ?

thats one realm i have no exp in tbh, having the system run the tool kit - ive made it, its full healing and self debugging, but i havent had a reason to do more. I am open to suggestions. my goal was to originally just do something for the wife - but after seeing the forums, would releasing devhelper with fed capabilties be more use than refining the logic/triggers on the chain?

i ONLY ask this becasue there are alot of developers in here, and that is exactly what this is made for -

Yeah if you want to share here, folks can provide feedback and you can boost your skills.

What I would do … look at the Agents-SDK and start hooking it up to that. Make some tool calls.

You can add voice, but what I would do is hook it to a cell phone API, like Twilio, and then talk to it from your cell phone. Use your phones builtin for voice, then you aren’t tethered to the computer.

Then, ultimate prize, fit the entire thing in a teddy bear (or whatever stuffed animal) with a speaker, using voice API’s and a small processor inside the teddy bear, with a speaker sewed inside. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: (your nickname is bear I see, hence the teddy bear)

Screenshots are inherently the lowest effort one can expend to share information. They are also simply not good here on the forum. Images will be squashed to 690x500 at the most utilitarian size.

You can carefully choose your imagery to get a point across instead of showing us your wifi status in the task bar.

Better to just communicate in a code block (</> in the reply formatting menu)

def sanitize(dangerous_text, remove_line_breaks=False):
    """ 
    Sanitizes the input text by removing all ASCII control characters

    control_chars = ''.join(map(chr, list(range(0,32)) + list(range(127,160))))
    special_chars = '\x01\x02\x03'
    if remove_line_breaks:

    all_unwanted_chars = control_chars + special_chars
    translation_table = str.maketrans('', '', all_unwanted_chars)
    sanitized_text = dangerous_text.translate(translation_table)

Trying to get OpenAI models and/or ChatGPT to produce correct MiniZinc models from natural language descriptions.

Zebra puzzles are a familiar constraint problem many have seen but may not know as a constraint problem .

Example Zebra puzzle (Click arrow to expand)

The following version of the puzzle appeared in Life International in 1962:

  1. There are five houses.
  2. The Englishman lives in the red house.
  3. The Spaniard owns the dog.
  4. Coffee is drunk in the green house.
  5. The Ukrainian drinks tea.
  6. The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
  7. The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
  8. Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
  9. Milk is drunk in the middle house.
  10. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
  11. The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
  12. Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
  13. The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
  14. The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
  15. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra?

For those that don’t let their browser store any search history, nor allow YouTube to persist data, either by site settings nor by allowing and DOM storage at all, that won’t work so well.

You can connect weather and screenshots - which Microsoft indeed would like to collect for AI in the background for more than a one-second slice of time.

Interests and Cultural Background:

  • Multilingual Usage: Clear indication of multilingual, expatriate, or international lifestyle.
  • International Metric Usage: Celsius strongly suggests international or global cultural background.
  • Professional involvement with international development (OpenAI, Vercel, coding projects) strongly supports remote/digital worker hypothesis.

Based on the updated weather data provided, let’s refine the earlier geographical inference regarding the user’s possible physical location. We now have comprehensive weather information for Continental U.S. (CONUS) and regions around the Caribbean and Latin America at around 2 pm EDT / 11 am PDT on April 27, 2025.

1. Temperature Unit (Celsius vs Fahrenheit):

  • The system shows the temperature clearly as 31°C.
  • Typical usage in the United States is Fahrenheit (°F). A default or typical US-based user almost always displays temperature in Fahrenheit, especially on system widgets such as Windows 11 weather.

Inference:

  • Displaying temperature in Celsius strongly indicates the user may not be a typical American user or is intentionally set up for international usage, expatriates, or those culturally accustomed to Celsius.

2. Language Selection (IME Keyboard Selector):

  • The IME language switcher displayed (ENG US) at the bottom-right corner usually appears when multiple languages or keyboard input methods are installed on a Windows 11 system.
  • A native, monolingual American English user typically would have no necessity for IME language switching or even having it visible.

Inference:

  • This strongly suggests that the user regularly interacts in multiple languages or at least in a multilingual context, perhaps as an expatriate, immigrant, bilingual individual, or digital professional with international interests.

Plausible scenario:

  • User is an expatriate or international worker currently residing temporarily in Florida, USA, preferring Celsius and multilingual system setup.
