mounting fat32 partition in Ubuntu 8.10

I like to use a fat32 partition as a shared partition, and want to be able to read and write in that partition. Thus, I modify my /etc/fstab to include the following command, i.e.

/dev/sda2 /media/sda2 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=077,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0

the key is to specify
1. umask=077; it means only the user has the right to read-write-execute.
2. uid=1000,gid=1000 are the user id and the group id of the owner.

well, it is not perfect but it suits my need.

Web App Scaling with Flask Blueprint and Namespaces

A real-world Flask-RESTX-based API  may have multiple namespaces. The best practice for scaling a web application is to use a blueprint along with multiple namespace. The namespace is used to group a set of CRUD operations for a specific resource.  Blueprint can be used to combine (mixing) multiple namespaces. Here’s an example directory structure: project\ ├── app.py # Application file ├── apis #    ├── v20 # API directory    │   ├── __init__.py    │   ├── specs.py # API namespaces and REST methods    │   ├── steps.py # API namespaces and REST methods    └── v20bp.py # API blueprint file Here is an example app.py. Using a blue print allow you to mount your API on any url prefix. from flask import Flask from apis.v20bp import blueprint as api app = ...
