I'd like to allow a user to add additional fields by pressing a button. I've set up a basic system for having multiple fields, and am already having trouble. I have a loop to add additional fields and store them in a list, but storing them in a list doesn�t add them to the form's visible fields attribute, which I'm looping over in the template. The fields are implicitly added when simply stored to a variable within the class, but I can't figure out how to do that with a loop.

Stripped down code:

Python code:

class InputForm(forms.Form):
    fields = []

    fields.append(forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={
        'cols': 75, 'rows': 30}), max_length=10000, help_text="Paste text here:"))

    extra_fields = 3
    for field in range(extra_fields):
        fields.append(forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={
            'cols': 75, 'rows': 30}), max_length=10000,
            help_text="Enter additional text here:"))

    for field in fields:
        self.visible_fields.append(field) # attemped fix; not working.

I'm using this standard bit in my template:

Python code:

            {% for hidden in form.hidden_fields %}
                {{ hidden }}
            {% endfor %}

            {% for field in form.visible_fields %}
                {{ field.errors }}
                {{ field.help_text}}<br/>
                {{ field }}
            {% endfor %}

I am going crazy trying to figure out how to get django set up with pip and virtualenv and all that jazz.

The Tango with Django tutorial wants you to use pythonbrew and "switch" to Python 2.7.5. This works fine, but then when I use pip to install django it installs under the system version of python, not the pythonbrew version. So everything stops with "module django not found".

So I figured I would forget pythonbrew and skip straight to using virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper, because they seem to be so popular. But it seems like virtualenv projects just use the system version of python? How do I get it to use Python 2.7.5?

Basically I have two questions. The first is the most important, because it'll give me something to aim for:

1) How do pros deploy django on a production server? Assuming I want it running on my own server and not on pythonanywhere etc. Do people run actual deployed django apps in virtual environments? Or is that just a development thing? Do you use the system install of Python, or a separate one? (PyPy?)

My other question is lazier, but any help appreciated:
2) What's the easiest way to install and use python 2.7.5 and django 1.5.4 on my development server?

# ? Dec 10, 2013 16:54

Dominoes: Sep 20, 2007

Skip the virtual environment stuff for now; you don't need it to do TWD. You don't need the specific version they run either.

# ? Dec 10, 2013 18:01

fuf: Sep 12, 2004; haha

Alright cool, I'll just use the system python interpreter while I do the tutorial and hope for the best.

But eventually I'll have to deal with the deployment question, and whether or not to use an isolated python interpreter, so I'd still be interested in hearing how other people do it.

# ? Dec 10, 2013 18:26

You can use specific python version with virtualenv with --python flag. Check the docs.

My dev server is a PI and it works fine with virtualenv. Prod will depend on the server at your disposal.

reitetsu: Sep 27, 2009; Should you find yourself here one day... In accordance with your crimes, you can rest assured I will give you the treatment you deserve.

I've just started my very first Django project, which right now aims to be a character builder for a tabletop roleplaying system. One day maybe I'll figure out how to do input not through the admin panel, but I'm taking it very slow so I don't get overwhelmed. My current stumbling block is an issue of display. I've got the contents of my database displaying just fine in a simple website, but I'd like to have it display as a repeating series of characters rather than just the stored integer.

My code right now is pretty simple, displaying like so in a table:

HTML code:

<table width="60%" border="0" align="center">
  <caption>
    <strong>Attributes</strong>
  </caption>
  <tr> 
    <td>Intelligence</td>
    <td>{{ character.intelligence }}</td>
    <td>Strength</td>
    <td>{{ character.strength }}</td>
    <td>Presence</td>
    <td>{{ character.presence }}</td>
  </tr>
</table>

I'd like to have the integer display a number of "O" equal to the value of a given Attribute, so if a character's Intelligence was 3, the box would display OOO. Later I'll actually make a graphic dot. But what I at least know how to do in Python in a simple for loop I don't know how to accomplish here.

~~I think you should be able to do something like this:~~

Python code:
<td>Intelligence</td> <td> {% for i in character.intelligence %} * {% endfor %} </td>

EDIT: I was horribly wrong... I just tested and that doesn't work.

The "right" way would be to add a class to an element in the TD and have a tiling sprite image background. To do it your way you'll need to either create the strings and add them to the context, or make ranges and add them to the context, and then iterate over those ranges in the template.

So, this is possibly a bit beyond where you are but this is a great time to learn about custom template tags.

You mention being able to do it in Python. Well, tags let you write custom python to use in your templates.

Start off by creating a directory named `templatetags` in your app and create an `__init__.py` in there. Then create a file to hold your template tags and filters. Generally this is `<app_name>_tags.py` but you can call it whatever you want. I'll call it `character_tags.py` because I can.

So, in `character_tags.py`, we'll do:

code:

from django import template

register = template.Library()

def attribute_display(attribute):
	return ''.join(['o' for x in xrange(attribute)])

register.simple_tag(attribute_display)

Then, in your template, import the tag library and use it

HTML code:

{% load character_tags %}
<table width="60%" border="0" align="center">
  <caption>
    <strong>Attributes</strong>
  </caption>
  <tr> 
    <td>Intelligence</td>
    <td>{% atrtribute_display character.intelligence %}</td>
    <td>Strength</td>
    <td>{% attribute_display character.strength %}</td>
    <td>Presence</td>
    <td>{% attribute_display character.presence %}</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Now, I haven't tested this, but it should work. I'll leave it up to you to figure out how to register the tag through a decorator instead of the assignment call (it's a little cleaner and more common).

It worked! Thank you very much! I'm not sure what decorators are as yet, but I'll do some research.

I'll definitely figure it out for my second draft when I'll (hopefully) have stuff that responds to appropriate Attribute value - you can't be "Indomitable" without Resolve >= 3, etc.

This logging thing is driving me mad. I don't even want to actually log SQL queries, I just want to know why it's not working.

Added my logger:

code:

LOGGING = {
...
    'loggers': {
        'django.db.backends': {
            'handlers': ['file'],
            'level': 'DEBUG'
        }
    }
}

Now pop into the python shell

code:

$ ./manage.py shell
>>> import logging
>>> logging.getLogger('django.db.backends').handlers[0].baseFilename
'/var/log/django/www.myawesomesite.com.log'

Ok, so it's got my file handler, try writing to it...

code:

>>> logging.getLogger('django.db.backends').debug('hello world')

That works fine - I'm tailing the log and I saw that entry get added.

When I hit my Django app through the webserver, however, nothing from django.db.backends gets written to the logs. If I change DEBUG=False to DEBUG=True in my settings, lots of stuff from django.db.backends gets written to the logs. I can't find anything that would suggest the logging is tied to that DEBUG setting though.

edit: ughhhh how did I miss this:

quote:

For performance reasons, SQL logging is only enabled when settings.DEBUG is set to True, regardless of the logging level or handlers that are installed.

Dad Jokes: May 25, 2011

It's been a while since I last used Django, so has anyone used RedirectView on Django 1.6? I'm having some trouble getting the url reversal part to work, and Googling around isn't helping too much.

Essentially, I want to be able to direct urls like mysite.com/100?image=44 to urls like mysite.com/100/100?image=44 while preserving the query string.

I have a project with the app "mainapp". In my project-level urls.py, I have the following code:

Python code:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns("",
    url(r"^admin/", include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r"^", include("mainapp.urls", namespace="mainapp"))
)

and in mainapp/urls.py, I have the following code:

Python code:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from mainapp import views

urlpatterns = patterns("",
    url(r"^(?P<targWidth>\d+)/(?P<targHeight>\d+)/$", views.requestSize, name="request_size"),

    # redirect single-dimension square requests to 
    # corresponding width/height request
    url(r"^(?P<targSize>\d+)/$", views.SquareRedirectView.as_view(), name="request_square")
)

Finally, mainapp/views.py only has the following code:

Python code:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView

def requestSize(request, targWidth, targHeight):
    return HttpResponse("Size requested: (%s, %s)" % (targWidth, targHeight))

# redirect view for redirecting a square dimension request 
# to a corresponding width/height request
class SquareRedirectView(RedirectView):
    permanent = False
    query_string = True
    pattern_name = "mainapp:request_size"

    def get_redirect_url(self, *args, **kwargs):
        targSize = kwargs.pop("targSize")
        kwargs["targWidth"] = kwargs["targHeight"] = targSize

        return super(SquareRedirectView, self).get_redirect_url(args, kwargs)

Although I'd expect request_square urls to be redirected to request_size urls, what happens instead is that get_redirect_url always returns None.

The Github source code just uses the reverse method, and if I debug by adding the line

Python code:

print reverse(self.pattern_name, args, kwargs)

to the get_redirect_url method before the return statement, I get an NoReverseMatch error that

pre:

u'mainapp' is not a registered namespace

However, if I have the request_square url call the following view code instead, things work fine, so I'm completely lost why it wouldn't work as a RedirectView.

Python code:

def requestSquare(request, targSize):
    return redirect(reverse('mainapp:request_size', 
                            kwargs={"targWidth":targSize,
                                    "targHeight":targSize}))

Am I overlooking something on how reverse namespacing works for RedirectView classes? Googling just has people saying to add a namespace param to the project-level urls.py file, which I already have. :psyduck:

I've been using South but I've never had to manually write an import statement like that, all I ever do is:

code:

$ ./manage.py schemamigration my_app --auto
$ ./manage.py migrate my_app

What is it that you are trying to do?

Also, you can specify that environment variable at the top of your script (none of my migrations actually do this though):

code:

import os
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'my_project.settings'

I'm trying to rename a column. I don't understand why Databases (and therefore Django models) are so finicky about changing things, but apparently South is the solution.

I want to run this: 'db.rename_column('app', 'old', 'new')', which requires importing db. I don't need to migrate anything, I just want to be able to change database columns without starting from scratch each time.

I see, you want a data migration then.

First create an empty data migration:

code:

(myapp)greg@greg-mint15 ~/code/my_app $ ./manage.py datamigration myapp rename_thing1_to_thing2
Created 0018_rename_thing1_to_thing2.py.

Now open up the ####_rename_thing1_to_thing2.py file it created and add your db.rename_column stuff from that stackoverflow post.

Then run the migration:

code:

$ ./manage.py migrate myapp

I have a (probably) simple question regarding querying in Django.

Basically I have a time table and I want to query times around a certain value. For instance if I query for 15:00 I want it to show me the two nearest results that are higher and two that are lower than that time. I can't chain two slices together so I'm not sure how to limit results both higher and lower. Should I make two separate queries and then merge them together or is there a more elegant way?

            static
                stylesheet is here (NOT WORKING)
            mydatabase.db (NOT WORKING)

Relevant bits of my setup.py file:

Python code:

BASE_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), os.pardir)
STATIC_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
DATABASE_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'mydatabase.db')

...

DATABASES = {

        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': DATABASE_PATH,
    }

...

STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

Any ideas? It works fine when running locally.

Once you get past the basics, I recommend spending some time reading through applicable Django source code too. Some of it isn't the best Python but most of it is well-documented and tested and I learned more about what I was doing through that method than anything else.

Of course, it won't make much sense until you get past the basics anyways.

I'm using aws for my django application, and I'm getting timeouts when uploading large files. Does anyone have an elegant solution for doing django uploads that don't timeout? I think the timeout is something to do with s3 not contacting the django app to say "there is still a connection, don't timeout for the user".

Shot in the dark: Are you using read() instead of chunk()?

So, potentially dumb question here but I've spent some time googling and have come up empty.

I have an app that users log into, and when a user logs in I want to spawn a persistent socket connection to an external service and associate that connection with the user

On a conceptual level, I basically want a stateful worker that I can use to drive events in my frontend via long polling or what have you.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

What are you using to transfer the files from your django app server to S3?

Files are uploaded to the actual servers, then uploaded to s3. This seems like a step too many? Do people usually use forms to have users directly upload to s3 to get around using the servers? Then the issue is uuid/keys of said files.

That sounds fine, your servers probably have to be the proxy to s3 to avoid cross domain security stuff. But what are you using to communicate with S3? If you eliminate the S3 step and just save them to your servers, does the upload still timeout?

Nope, the timeout happens between the server and s3. We also can't store on the server, we have tons of data, thus s3. I was thinking the client could upload from our app directly to s3, wouldn't that be a valid solution to this? We could just cut out the server.
