Python backend work + pytest + some Redis
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
We are looking for a Python developer to help with the backend development of an in-progress web application. The web app is used for editing text-based configuration files. Python scripting experience and testing with pytest is necessary. Experience with any of the following will help: Flask, REST APIs, file parsing and serialization, knowledge of POSIX file and directory permissions (read,write,execute), Python's subprocess module. Nice to haves: experience with the Redis Python SDK (redis-py).
Frameworks will be provided to work within. Example component tasks include:
- Writing a file parser and serialiser module for the backend for a web form. The API endpoints will be provided with arguments and expected JSON return values.
- Defining and writing Flask API methods for editing permissions on POSIX files and directories.
- Writing an API for calling a particular executable from Python (using subprocess) and parsing the output to provide JSON responses.
All work will be expected to be appropriately unit tested within a provided pytest framework.
