Hi,

Try always not to think SQL and not to use extra. Most of the times there is
an alternative without extra. Extra is advanced.

class Node(Model):
   widgets = ForeignKey(Widget)

This query will give you all the different nodes that have the foreign key
widgets set to something different than null:

Node.objects.filter(widgets__isnull = False).distinct()

As your ForeignKey widgets can not be null, all nodes in the table will
point to at least one widget. So it's the same as if you do:

Node.objects.all().distinct()

Maybe you want to do this:

class Node(Model):
   widgets = ForeignKey(Widget, null=True)

Miguel Araujo

Aggregates are giving the wrong numbers for .annotate()? What am I doing wrong?

2010-10-29 Thread Jumpfroggy

Hi all,

I've been working in django for a while now, but am still wrapping my
head around the more complex queryset features.

I have something like this:

class Foo:
name = CharField()
bars = ForeignKey(Bar)
widgets = ForeignKey(Widget)

I can do this:

Foo.objects.extra(select={
'num_bars': 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM app_bar WHERE app_bar.foo_id =
app_foo.id',
'num_widgets': 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM app_widget WHERE
app_widget.foo_id = app_foo.id',
})

That gives me what I want... a list of all foo's with counts of how
many bars & widgets it's linked to.

NameNum BarsNum Widgets
First   1   4
Second  2   3

However, I wanted to use annotations.  So I do this:

Foo.objects.annotate(num_bars=Count(bar), num_widgets=Count(widget))

But I get increased counts:

NameNum BarsNum Widgets
First   19  19
Second  5   5

When I spit out the str(queryset.query) var, I get SQL like this:

SELECT
app_foo.name,
COUNT(app_bar.id) AS num_bars,
COUNT(app_widget.id) AS num_widgets
FROM app_foo
LEFT OUTER JOIN app_bar ON ...
LEFT OUTER JOIN app_widget ON ...
WHERE ...
GROUP BY app_food.id

This seems to fail because each LEFT OUTER JOIN gives multiple rows
for each match in the resulting table.  Then when COUNT() goes to
work, it will count each of the duplicate rows as another entry.  Then
all the COUNT() vars end up being a) larger, and b) the same as each
other, since they're all counting the end-result rows.

I've tried .distinct(), but it does not fix the problem.  Am I
misunderstaning .annotate()?  Is this a bug?  Thanks!

I hope this message is not seen as spam. Today I released my first

Re: Forms in a Workflow for Related Models

Hi,

You will need to go step by step. First you ask the user for the reviewer
with a form. Then the user has to submit the form. You manage your input
form and see if the data for that reviewer already exists, if it does, then
you load initial data in the second form. Now you redirect the user to the
second form, empty or loaded. This is the usual HTML web application flow,
not related to Django.

If you want things to happen dynamically, you will have to use AJAX, you can
use any JS library you like.

Best regards,
Miguel

Re: Import csv file in admin

I need an easy method inside the admin to upload the csv file with an
web interface. I guess with your method the admin will need access to
the server and the command line, and something like this is not what i
try to do, because the admin (not me) is not a django developer, not
even a user get used to command lines. But if my guessing is wrong how
can i do a web interface for your method?

Re: adding field to query set

2010-10-29 Thread Jumpfroggy

If it were my project, I'd probably add this kind of custom field to
your mapping:

mapping = {
# list the normal columns first... then:
'full_name': ['user__first_name', 'user__last_name'],
}

Then your render code would be something like this:

def render(self):
for row in self._data:
for name, value in self._mapping.items():
print 'name: %s' % name
if hasattr(value, '__iter__'):
final_value = []
for value2 in value:
final_value.append(getattr(row, value2))
final_value = ' '.join(final_value)
else:
final_value = getattr(row, value)
print 'final_value: %s' % final_value

using python-magic on request.FILES['datafile']

2010-10-29 Thread wawa wawawa

Hi All,
I'm trying to allow some flexibility for my end users. I want to
support the uploading of multiple file archive types (tar.gz,
tar.bzip2, zip, rar etc).
I want to use python-magic to guess the filetype from the files magic
number and then use the appropriate decompression modules to get at
the data in the files.
Basically, I'm not sure how to make the type of the
request.FILES['datafile'] be compatible with the requirements of
python-magic (which needs a file-location or a string)

I have a view:

def upload_file(request):
     c ={}
     c.update(csrf(request))
     if request.method == 'POST':
        frag = request.FILES['datafile'].read(65536)
        ft = magic.from_buffer(frag)
        res = {}
        res.update({ "result" : ft })
        res.update({ "datafile" : type(request.FILES['datafile']) })
        res.update({ "frag"  : type(frag) })
        return render_to_response("simple.html", {'content': res })
     else:
        form = UploadFileForm()
        return render_to_response('upload.html')
"simple.html" just outputs the data structure "res", as below.

{'content':
 {'datafile': ,
  'frag': ,
  'result': 'empty'}}


I've tried different combinations of magic.from_file and
magic.from_buffer and both read() and chunk() from the
TemporaryUploadedFile object but I either get a type error or an
"empty" result. I think the above should work fine!

Using python-magic on the temp object that's been uploaded (and saved
to disk 'cos is > 2.5MB) works with both
magic.from_buffer(open("f").read(65536)) and magic.from_file("f").

Any ideas?

(also, anyone have any quick drop in helper methods for debugging I
can use instead of the horrible "res" dict I'm using?)

Thanks in advance

Re: Converting Django to Desktop App? (Multiple Instances)

2010-10-29 Thread Bill Freeman

This will work.  Concurrency is Oracle's problem.  Each Django is a
client, and gets a separate connection to Oracle.  Transaction
management is bread and butter to the big databases.

That said, you may not need apache.  This sounds like a group of
cooperating users with a very low request rate, so even the development
server may be enough.

Also, if you have a box amongst you that is always up, it might be easier
to manage a scheme with Django on just that system, so long as the
intranet allows all of you to route to the one box (corporate enforced
per system firewalling could be an issue here).

The downside of running your own PostgreSQL (or MySQL if you must) is
that corporate backup procedures applied to the Oracle server may not
be applied to your data, giving you something else to manage.  On the
other hand, you need to be sure that you have table creation, etc.,
permissions, of which IT may be jealous.

I'm finding conflicting info regarding preferred server

I'm using Nginx for static, passing off to Apache/mod_wsgi for django
stuff. Currently, wsgi is in daemon, and I'm using the worker MPM.
>From some sources I've seen that is ideal, but I notice in the django

MySQL and PostgreSQL are way more than enough.  heck, even SQLite

Re: write a filter for latex that escapes some chars

2010-10-29 Thread Brian Bouterse

We have done this before and used something like the code below.  This
sample is pretty basic.

   def fixchar(string,char):

#fixes chars for latex

if char == '<':

newchar = '$<$'

elif char == '>':

newchar = '$>$'

elif char == '~':

newchar = '\\~{}'

else:

newchar = '\\' + char

string = string.replace(char,newchar)

return string

write a filter for latex that escapes some chars

2010-10-29 Thread SlafS

Hi there!

I'm trying to write a filter that can be used inside of a template
that is used for generating latex files.

The filter should replace the '|' char with '\'. Simple:

@register.filter("verb_safe")
def verb_safe(val):
return str(val).replace('|', '\|')

is outputting me '\\|'

I'm littlle confused about that.

Please help

Re: Cherokee for home developing

This may be of use to anyone using any version of Cherokee prior to 1.09:

http://lists.octality.com/pipermail/cherokee/2010-September/013432.html

There are several threads that detail the manual set up process. But the key 
here is that the wizard is, as Roberto states, "(currently) totally broken," so 
don't use it! Manual set up is fairly intuitive and not difficult.

Karim, you may find that refreshing your project is easier with uWSGI as 
opposed to something like FastCGI, in reference to your question about having 
to restart Cherokee each time you make changes.

Regards,


Max

Re: Cherokee for home developing


Karim,

If you hve not already quit reading these posts(I wouldnt blame you if
you had) I want to once again apologise.

I only posted as I was glad to see someone else using Cherokee and
wished to offer a small insight into another way of serving python
code.

The whole thing has become idiotic and I am in part to blame.

I hope that you have taken a small amount of useful information from
all this and continue to develop some great apps.

Rob

"Anyway, my intent here was to help. It's ridiculous how everything

about what to post where."

I was trying to be courtesy towards Karim as this is his post.

Consider, Max, whether this post would have been better had you not
contributed at all.
I don't see how anything you have posted has been of great use as he
clearly stated he 'Might try using Uwsgi if he runs into more trouble'

You didn't even ask him what version of cherokee he is using, nor have
you posted any material to assist him if he wished to use uwsgi.

All you have done is stamp your feet about an issue that is
essentially mute.

I do not wish to be rude, and I asked you to email me directly because
I did not want to perpetuate this pathetic and pointless debate in a
public forum any longer, but for all intensive purposes you really are
a complete tool.

Re: Cherokee for home developing

Generally, yes.

If you're using a socket, you can rm the socket path each time you update. That 
will avoid the need to restart Cherokee.

Re: Cherokee for home developing

Rob, 

I don't want to email you directly. I'm sure you're a nice guy and everything, 
but I'm on this list to contribute to the list. Please stop asking this. That 
*is* obnoxious.

I'm sorry you see my comments as unhelpful or "unconstructive[sic]", however 
please remember you are not the only one reading or contributing to this list; 
please don't be judge and jury, some people find that insufferable,

Thank you,

So you have a place.

p = Place(name="3rd Circle of Hell")
p.save()

This should work:

r = Restaurant(serves_hot_dogs=True)
r.place_ptr = p
r.save()

If you then want an r that has picked up the now-should-be-inherited

r = Restaurant.objects.get(pk=r.pk)

Again, this covered in /great detail/ on the Cherokee list: currently the 
wizard produces a configuration and is broken, so there are other methods for 
manually setting up a source in Cherokee that uses uwsgi.

Anyway, my intent here was to help. It's ridiculous how everything has to be

Re: Start project not working

2010-10-29 Thread Jirka Vejrazka

Hi,

  first of all, if you will be sending emails like these, you're
likely to get ignored by people who are otherwise happy to anser
questions like yours (hint: 3 consecutive emails about the same topic
in 2 conferences, "anonymous" user etc.)

  Now for the real "answer". You have not told us anything to identify
the issue. Your django-admin.py is clearly working as it responded
with a standard error message (no need to copy in full to the email).
This message appears if parameters supplied to django-admin.py were
incorrect. Since you have not actually shown what exactly you've
typed, no one will be able to tell you what is wrong. I'm going to
guess that you have not typed "django admin-py startproject
myproject". This would not give you the "usage" message.

  Cheers

Jirka

Subclassing AdminSite

2010-10-29 Thread Strav

Hi, I must say I'm kinda lost here. Any help would greatly be
appreciated!

I wish to have two seperate admin sites on the same django project.

First thing I did, was create the app: alternate_admin
within alternate_admin, I have admin.py where I defined the following:

from django.contrib.admin.sites import AdminSite
class AltAdmin(AdminSite):
pass

alternate_admin = AltAdmin(name="Alternate Admin")

then at my project's root, in urls.py, I have:

from django.contrib import admin
from alternate_admin.admin import alternate_admin

...

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Admin
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
(r'^',
include(alternate_admin.urls)),
# Sitemap
(r'^%s/' % settings.DAJAXICE_MEDIA_PREFIX,
include('dajaxice.urls')),
# Apps
(r'^profile/', include('profile.urls')),
url(r'^admin_tools/',
include('admin_tools.urls')),
(r'^account/',
include('django_authopenid.urls')),
(r'^trads/update/', 'trads.views.update'),
(r'^grappelli/',
include('grappelli.urls')),
)

I then proceed to register some admin models:

from alternate_admin.admin import alternate_admin

...

(my admin model def)

alternate_admin.register(MyModel, MyAdminModel)


Now if I try to log into the alternate admin as a super user, I can
log sucessfully but then I'm getting the "You don't have permission to
edit anything." message.

I checked the template and it seems this messages comes out when your
app_list is empty so I went and traced whether or not my models were
correctly registering with alternate_admin. At a first glance, they
indeed register but prior to the index loading, app_list is in fact
empty.

Then I noticed something odd with my urls.py:

If I replace:
 (r'^', include(alternate_admin.urls)),

with
 (r'^', include('alternate_admin.urls')),

and then go into alternate_admin/urls.py  and enter:

from alternate_admin.admin import alternate_admin
patterns = alternate_admin.get_urls()

If I log into alternate_admin, I do see the apps containing the models
I registered.

Another strange thing (at least to me), is that if I inverse the urls
order
(r'^', include(alternate_admin.urls)),
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

I noticed that admin/ is not reachable anymore.

Perhaps my urls.py is messed up.

I'd really appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks!

to_locale case formatting

2010-10-29 Thread Mathias Kretschek

Hi, everyone.

When I call to_locale on a language code, it acts as I expected. But,
when I call it on an already formated locale, it will lowercase the
region code.

>>> from django.utils.translation import to_locale
>>> to_locale('en-us')
'en_US'
>>> to_locale('en_US')
'en_us'
>>> to_locale('en_us')
'en_us'

Wasn't it supposed to always return a locale in the same format? In
theory, shouldn't the following statement be True?

to_locale('en-us') == to_locale('en_US') == to_locale('en_us') ==
to_locale(to_locale('en-us'))


django.utils.translation.trans_real.to_locale allows me to specify if
I'd like to always get a lowercase locale using the to_lower
parameter. But this parameter is NOT available in
django.utils.translation.to_locale neither in
django.utils.translation.trans_null.to_locale.

Am I missing something here? (I'm new to i18n and l10n.) I don't think
it's a big deal (since all locale codes I'm using follow the same
format), but I've just spent some time trying to understand why it
acts this way and couldn't figure it out.

Thank you.
Mathias Kretschek

admin usage

2010-10-29 Thread Alex Kreimer

Hi All,

I'm building an app for small retail chain management.  It requires
inventory/salespeople/wages etc. management.  There 2 kinds of users:
updaters (non-tech managers that are responsible sales locations) and
viewers (main office managers that control the organization).

1 Would django admin be suitable for all the update tasks (it looks
like admin would be seriously tweaked for this) or should a separate
interface be built?

2 Is there a ready piece of code that could be used as a stub for such
a task?

Thanks,
Alex

I did not find Max’s style obnoxious, he stated the matter very
