Strings and % sign fails - Help Please
It seems like a freak problem to me. I spent a long hour to track the
problem down and here it is:
The following statement fails because it has the '%' sign in it.
cursor.execute("select '%'")
The error is: IndexError: list index out of range
How do I address this problem?
Please note that the following work just fine:
cursor.execute("select 'x'")
and the following also fails with the same error:
cursor.execute("""select '%'""")
cursor.execute("select '\%'")
astr = "select '\%'"
cursor.execute(astr)

Re: Advice on using model to bulk/batch load database
My motivation for using the Django ORM layer was simply to reuse the logic that parses text values to native values (html2python) and any column name mapping that goes on, both of which are managed by the *Field members. I know that's not a huge win, but since I'm at an early point in the project where I'm tweaking the schema quite a bit, its nice to know if I change an int field to a float, or add another field that was previously being skipped from the file, or rename a column, it just works. But I see your point - it remains to be seen if I'm getting enough benefit to justify this approach. Speed really isn't an issue right now. Each file takes a few seconds to load (up to a minute for the really large ones) and they run as scheduled jobs over night. And this is all running on a VMWare virtual machine on my lowly Dell desktop - I could copy the VM to a server and get a huge boost. If I _really_ cared about speed, since I'm using MySQL, I'd consider mapping a table directly to the file via the CSV storage engine and then just copy it from the CSV table to a "real" table. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

One way I think is just like what you do: create a extra_context.
The other way is create a custom tag to create a list. Someone has
submit this patch before. http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/1162
Or you can use a custom tag written by me to calculate the list in
template: expr tag

{% expr range(pages) as page_number %}
{% for i in page_number %}
...

For bulk-loading stuff into a database, I would definitely recommend bypassing the Django layer entirely. There's no need to use an ORM for that; use whatever bulk-loading capability your database provides. Or, if you absolutely want to do it in Python, use the cursor.executemany() functionality of the Python DB-API layer.

Re: Advice on using model to bulk/batch load database
Eric, The typical mode of operation will be to incrementally load new data each night - about 10 files each containing dozens to hundreds of rows. Maybe only a couple will be in the thousands category. But I've also created my scripts to work in two steps: 1) download the data from various sources (FTP, HTTP, web scrape, custom API) and save the files on a server, 2) parse any new files and load into the database. Occasionally I will modify my schema, drop the old tables and reload all the data from the "cached" files. Over time that could easily be millions of rows and some optimization of my technique will be in order. But for now, the simple approach (parse a row, create a django model object, stuff it and save it) works fine. -Dave --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

It's not so hard doing it manually as adding files happens infrequently compared to committing changes to existing files. I'm assuming you don't want to see tons of lines of '? /path/to/some.pyc' when doing and 'svn status'. My 'svn status' alias filters out files with the pyc extension so that I don't have to look those lines: alias svnstatus='svn status | grep -v .pyc | grep -v .sql' That way pyc files aren't in the repository and I don't have status output cluttered with lines I don't care about.

While this > works, there are a couple of kludges I made to get it to work and I was > hoping someone could advise my on a better way to do this. Hey Dave, You didn't mention how many records you are importing nor how often you will be re-importing your flat files. I regularly have to import files with ~2.5M records and I've found that using an ORM framework is too slow for my requirements. My first script to do the import used Django's ORM. That script looped over the lines of the file, slurping in the data, creating a new django object out of the data and .save()ing the object. It worked well and the code was easy to read, but I needed more speed as this script was going to need to run at least weekly and had to run at night, completing before my users started hammering on the web app in the morning. The second script I wrote would drop existing indexes, then iterating over the lines of the file, it worked directly with Django's db object to INSERT the data into the (postgresql) database. The indexes were recreated at the end of the script. If I recall correctly, that script took around 5-6 hours to complete the import. The script I'm using now iterates over the lines of the file, formating the data into a new sql file that is psql (the postgresql command line tool) friendly. The script takes four minutes to create the sql file. It then uses python's os.popen4 to load the python-generated sql file into psql: cmd = "psql -U my_user my_db -f %s" % path_to_sql_file s_in, s_out = os.popen4(cmd) This approach cut the import time down to just under 2 hours (the sql file also drops indexes before importing the data, then recreates the indexes afterwords). So, If you are importing lots of data and have to do it frequently or many times and time is of the essence, my recommendation is to give the read-file/write-file/db-command-line three-step a try. Good luck and best regards, Eric. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

off topic, web creator apps
Okay, This might be pretty off topic and if you all think so just ignore this email. I was looking at RapidWeaver and iWeb and the development models on those applications use themes or templates for different web pages. I looked at the Django generated pages and Django do have a very nice and consistent pages. Now the question, is there a way of merging Django into these web development applications? Basically having the front-end of these templates/themes with Django as the back-end engine. Yes, people that use these applications might not know Pythons but Django can almost eliminate Python also. Just curious...

Pagination - displaying page numbers
Hello,
I've just started looking at Django, it's certainly looking like a very
good choice for the sort of projects I'll be doing in the near future.
Just now I've been looking at pagination and have a question:
I'm using the generic view "list_detail" to view a list of results. I
want to use pagination to restrict the number of items on a page. To
do this I've added a "paginate_by" value to the info_dict dictionary in
my urls.py file. This results in my results being paginated correctly,
and the additional context parameters are available in my template. I
can use these to show how many hits there were and how many pages of
results etc there are. My problem comes with trying to show a numbered
link to each page of results (like google does at the bottom of its
results page). I thought this would be straightforward - just do a
loop - but as far as I can see the {% for %} tag can only iterate over
an array, and the "pages" context property is a number. What is the
right way to go about looping from N to N+M in a template ? My feeling
is that looping over a list is the nicest way, but then I can't get the
pagination to work like I want! Apologies if I'm missing something
really obvious!
In the course of trying to figure this out I tinkered around with the
list_detail.py file and tried adding extra context parameters (e.g.
'page_list':range(1, pages+1, 1) ). These never showed up in my
templates though - are there specific steps to take in order to make
changes to the django source files be noticed by the server (I'm using
the test server that comes with Django)?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Stephen.

Re: Help getting admin and non-admin app running in Apache
That still leaves my Django apps running in the same space (PythonInterpreter) as the admin app which I think is the root of the problem. I've tried using a separate for "/" and "/admin/" but that didn't work. I don't see how its possible to separate my non-admin apps from the admin app since they are both defined in the same settings and urls files. Should I just create a new project that uses a copy of the settings file but only install the admin app? But then I'd have to install new apps in both places. I must be doing something wrong because it can't be that hard to do what I'm trying to do. Isn't the typical setup for most people to have both thier custom apps and the admin app all installed in the same project and all working together? No matter what I try I always get the same results: my apps work fine, the main page of the admin app works, but whenever I click on one of my models to look at the data, I get the dreaded TemplateSyntaxError: Mod_python error: "PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython" Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\mod_python\apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch result = object(req) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\handlers\modpython.py", line 165, in handler return ModPythonHandler()(req) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\handlers\modpython.py", line 139, in __call__ response = self.get_response(req.uri, request) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\handlers\base.py", line 109, in get_response return self.get_technical_error_response(request) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\handlers\base.py", line 139, in get_technical_error_response return debug.technical_500_response(request, *sys.exc_info()) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\views\debug.py", line 126, in technical_500_response return HttpResponseServerError(t.render(c), mimetype='text/html') File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\template\__init__.py", line 146, in render return self.nodelist.render(context) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\template\__init__.py", line 707, in render bits.append(self.render_node(node, context)) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\template\__init__.py", line 725, in render_node result = node.render(context) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\template\defaulttags.py", line 112, in render nodelist.append(node.render(context)) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\template\defaulttags.py", line 179, in render return self.nodelist_true.render(context) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\template\__init__.py", line 707, in render bits.append(self.render_node(node, context)) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-0.91-py2.4.egg\django\core\template\__init__.py", line 735, in render_node raise wrapped TemplateSyntaxError: Caught an exception while rendering. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

While I'm not in control of the file format in this case, your
suggestion will help solve a different problem I have: I use full-text
searching on some of my tables and I was manually running a little sql
script after I did a 'manage.py sqlall | mysql ...':
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ix_ft_trade_all
ON trade (tradeType, investIdType, investId, portfolio, book,
strategy,
counterparty, custodian, account);
...
and then I use the where form of get_list(...,
where=["match() against('')"]) to search
for them in one of my views.
Your suggestion automates that step (which I forget to do quite a bit!)

I made the change and its working fine. One thing you have to be
careful with is to build a MultiValueDict where the values are
lists/tuples. I was putting scalars in and it was interpreting strings
as sequences which caused problems in do_html2python.

you can use the expr tag to do these things according to the last eamil.

I had already done that - I was hoping I could tell the DateField what format it should expect the date in when it parses it via html2python. Something like: myDateField.inputFormats = ['%d-%b-%y', '%m/%d/%y'] and then when I call html2python on it (indirectly via the manipulator) it will try each of those until it gets a valid date back. Right now, DateField is hardwired to use '%Y-%m-%d', so I'm pre-converting all date fields before I send the row from the file to the manipulator. Like I said, its a small detail, just the one place where I my parser/loader needs to be aware of the type of columns and I was hoping to eliminate that.

Simplest and more obvious solution: handle this in your view, ie:
...
# dummy name, find a better one
hashed_list = [the_hash[element] for element in the_list]
context = DjangoContext(request, dict(hashed_list=hashed_list, ...))
...
More complex solution: write a custom tag for this, ie:
# dummy name, find a better one
@register.inclusion_tag('path/to/tpl')
def show_hashed_list(the_list, the_hash, tag="div"):
hashed_list = [the_hash[element] for element in the_list]
return dict(hashed_list=hashed_list)
# the template
{% for element in hashed_list %}
<{{ tag }}>
{{ element }}
