I wouldn't recommend naming your function with a suffix that relates to a model. You are better off doing:

def generate_payload(crust, sauce, cheese, toppings):

In the past I've used a timestamp key for the org. Create a key like f"org_{org.pk}" that has a timestamp. Then append that timestamp to the `get_users_for_org`. Now all you have to do is invalidate the org timestamp to generate a rolling key (requires more memory).

whats wrong with functools.partial? I don't see that anywhere in the arguments.. all you say is "I find functools.partial unintuitive".. why? its a simple wrapper.

I've always thought that the closer the engineer is to the end user the better.

You can get away with a single hashed dict:

from types import SimpleNamespace

mydict = { "name": "moe", "age": 3, "test": {"name": "josh"} # wont work }

dotted = SimpleNamespace(*mydict)

print(dotted.name, dotted.age) # moe 3

Lichess is so much better. It's free. chess.com thinks its facebook and it looks really childish (they probably copied things from chesskid). They have like a billion developers (why? its chess.. and already done). Lichess is like 1 guy (who I think used to work for chesscom until the ceo was a dick or something)

Lichess is much, much better. It's free. Chess.com is a bloated mess and it won't change.. they think they are facebook.
