Redoing a C/CGI web app in Python/Django?

[Graeck]

Hi all,

Just looking for input ... tips, suggestions, etc.

We have an old web app written in C using CGIs.  All the html is
generating in the C code using print statements. It's become almost
impossible to do anything other than make very minor UI changes due to
the complexity of the code and the tediousness of trying to make UI
updates via 1000s of print statements. So, we're thinking of moving to
something like Django.

Since Python can call C code (libraries, functions, etc, if I'm
understanding correctly - I'm pretty new at Python myself - and
Django), would it be feasible to build the UI templates in Python/
Django and still be able to reuse some of our C code - the stuff that
crunches the huge amounts of data that we have to process?

I've started reading: http://docs.python.org/extending/extending.html

But any input (esp from people that might have trie such a migration
before) would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: Creating REST APIs in Django...advice

[Tom Christie]

  The obvious big difference with REST framework is that the API is entirely 
web browse-able. To me that's quite a big deal - your API can be genuinely self 
documenting, and it's massively easier to browse, work with, and debug, than it 
would be if your working from the command line all the time.

  There's a bunch of other things I think it does well, from really nice error 
handling, using Django's class based views with mixin classes, and treating 
form and json etc input equally as regards validation, but I really need to sit 
down and write that stuff up properly sometime. (not got the time to go into it 
right now)

  And, yeah I would def use hidden form fields to set the method if you need 
web browser support for DELETE/PUT etc. It's a pretty common pattern, and it's 
much better than polluting your URL space specifically to cope with browser 
limitations.

  Cheers,
  Tom

python manage.py reset contenttypes doesnt work with mysql 5.5.1 Works with 5.1

[David Markey]

Simple django setup, when I try to reset contenttypes app, just after doing
a syncdb..

python manage.py reset contenttypes

You have requested a database reset.
This will IRREVERSIBLY DESTROY any data for
the "contenttypes" application in the database "my_test".
Are you sure you want to do this?

Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel: yes
Error: Error: contenttypes couldn't be reset. Possible reasons:
  * The database isn't running or isn't configured correctly.
  * At least one of the database tables doesn't exist.
  * The SQL was invalid.
Hint: Look at the output of 'django-admin.py sqlreset contenttypes'. That's
the SQL this command wasn't able to run.
The full error: (1217, 'Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key
constraint fails')

Using django 1.2.5.


Any ideas?

Regards,

David

Re: __unicode__ in tutorial part 1

[Abhijeet Rastogi]

May be you have copy-pasted the code from somewhere. May be you are using a
TAB instead of 4-spaces or the other way round. Its a python question. You
should brush-up your python skills before getting to django. Start with a
book like "dive into python".

It's exactly what it says - indentation is important in Python and
number for spaces (or tabs) on that line does not match the rest of
your file. Or you mixed tabs and spaces.

Activating HTML error emails while keeping logger defaults

[Carsten Fuchs]

Hi all,

from the documentation at 
 I get that I 
need something like



LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'handlers': {
'mail_admins': {
'level': 'ERROR',
'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
'include_html': True,
}
}
}


in settings.py in order to include HTML in error emails.

However, that seems to override the default configuration that is 
normally used for logging, that, afaics, makes sense to keep.


How do I activate HTML in error emails while keeping the default config 
intact?


Many thanks and best regards,
Carsten

As noted, images are almost always loaded independently.  See, for
example, "Definition and Usage" of img tag here: 
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_IMG.asp

If you would like to learn more about how to actually embed image in
the page, do a google search for Base64 data url.  The relevant rfc is
here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2397.html
Note that this is of extremely limited application:
1. It doesn't work in all browsers.
2. Due to url length limits it won't work for large images

If you generate an svg image, you can embed that directly into the
page in the fashion you have suggested.  Alas this also is not a cross
browser solution, but there are javascript/flash workarounds which may
suffice for you.  Take a look at SVGWeb http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/

You can put your current menu option in context and then, while
rendering pages, check for it and use a different style for the active

admin inline formset using incorrect form

[shanyu]

Hi, please take a look at the following code.

def create_foo_form(baz):
class FooForm(forms.ModelForm):
   def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
   print "Initializing a FooForm object"
   # Init stuff here
return FooForm

class FooInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = Foo

def get_formset(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
if obj:
kwargs['form'] = create_foo_form(obj)
return super(FooInline, self).get_formset(request, obj,
**kwargs)

class BazAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [FooInline,]


Suppose we are changing a Baz object. First, get_formset method will
be passed the Baz object as obj and following that a FooForm class
will be created and passed to the superclass method.

Here's the part that's beyond my understanding: After that,
get_formset gets executed for an extra time with obj=None. Because obj
is None, the method doesn't pass FooForm to the superclass method, and
therefore the superclass is expected to construct the formset using
default form (self.form - which is not FooForm). But to my surprise I
am getting FooForm objects initialized.

So I have 2 questions:
1. Why does get_formset get called an extra time with obj=None?
2. Why are FooForm objects used when a formset is constructed in this
second time?

Regards.

Admin Interface Super User Not Logging In

[Johan]

I have just installed the newest version of django from the source
repo. I added the admin app, did the synchdb (as part of this I
created the admin user), then  i started the test server. Then I
browsed to the admin login page and enter the admin user and the
correct password. I get told that the username/password is
incorrect ... I have already recreated the database from scratch a
couple of times. I have also checked the actual database and the entry
in the auth user table looks fine. I have also tried the manage.py
create superuser path and still no luck. Does anybody have any ideas
that I can try other than the ones above. I am sure it is a very
simple thing I am overlooking  Thanks in advance :)

Re: Creating REST APIs in Django...advice

[sebastien piquemal]

Well ... http://django-rest-framework.org  allows you to override the
method by adding a post parameter. So in your form, you just add a
hidden input



or



and django-rest-framework will pipe your POST request into the "put"
handler or "delete" handler. Of course name="_method" can be
configured (I mean that you can use another parameter name). That's a
quite elegant way to overcome the limitation you are talking about
(even though CRUD and REST are not exactly the same things).

Re: Navigation menu

[Andy Mikhailenko]

Hello Daniel,

I think you really need to provide your definition of "nicer" to get
useful feedback.

For instance, my implementation of breadcrumbs[1] indeed introduces a
custom template tag and I haven't the slightest idea what are the use
cases where this approach would not be natural.

Re: Can give each user a specific folder to upload to using an ImageField?

[urukay]

yes, this how you can upload image or whatever file to folder outside
MEDIA..it uploads to PRIVATE_ROOT/...

This is simple version of Image model in my project:

from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage
from contrib.models.fields import  CustomFileField
fs = FileSystemStorage(location='%s/profile'%(settings.PRIVATE_ROOT),
base_url='/%s/profile/'%(settings.PRIVATE_URL))

class Image(ImageModel):

profile = models.ForeignKey(UserProfile)
image = CustomFileField(prime_upload=True ,storage=fs)

def get_upload_to(self, field_attname):
try:
return self.profile.user.username
except:
pass

Don't worry abou the CustomFileField, it's just FileField with few my
enhancements. And ImageModel is model from imagekit, but it should
work also with models.Model (don't know for sure, but this works with
Django 1.2.1).
Remember that you should also write functions to display images or
configure your server to display them.

Re: makemessages failing to extract all strings from Javascript

[Ned Batchelder]

Django's Javascript message parsing is fragile.  The full details are here: 
http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/201104/a_javascript_lexer_in_python_and_the_saga_behind_it.html

I've written a patch and attached it to ticket 7704, 
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7704.  I was hoping to get it into 
Django 1.3.1, but I'm encountering resistance to that idea.  If you have any 
sway over Django core committers, use your power for good now! :)

Re: Creating REST APIs in Django...advice

[Brian Bouterse]

I've been reading through the documentation for piston and
django-rest-framework.org and they both look like great projects.  Could
anyone with experience working with either of these applications (or their
authors themselves) provide some compare and contrasting of the
features/usability/etc.

Also, as a general REST-ism, the HTML
formtag doesn't
allow for HTTP methods besides GET and POST.  As such we
typically write a full REST API (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE), and then end up
doing the following to "make it work" for HTML/browser settings.

CREATE - POST to /resource/
READ - GET to /resource/
UPDATE - POST to /resource/
DELETE - POST to /resource/delete

The really non-restful part of the "make it work for browsers" hack is
adding the verb delete into the URL.  I couldn't think of a better way.
 This is a common pattern I end up implementing a lot, and it would be cool
if a rest framework let me accomplish this in an easier way.

Can give each user a specific folder to upload to using an ImageField?

[Thomas Weholt]

I see from the docs that ImageField takes an param called upload_to. I
want to put uploaded files into a specific folder for that specific
user uploading the image. And the target folder is NOT in the media
root. Any tips on how to achieve that?

How to insert a csrf_token when entering datas through a bot ?

[JustinMarsan]

Hello,

What would be the best way to allow some bots to POST some content to
a website. Without crsf_token, the bot will get a 403, and I would
prefer not to remove this behavior but rather find a way to make the
bot send a token. How could I do that ?

I was thinking of making sure the bot is authorizied to post with some
identifiers but I guess there might be a better way to do this using
the built-in token system.

Any ideas ?

Thank you.

Navigation menu

[Daniel Gerzo]

Hello all,

I was wondering how do you generate the navigation menu in your web 
sites, with a possibility to mark up the "active" page?


My searching revealed some solutions, most of them based on implementing 
a custom template tag and then parsing the request.path. I was wondering 
whether someone came up with something more nicer?


Thanks!

install admin-files

[Massimo]

Hi all,
I'm trying to install django-adminfiles, but I have some
difficulty understanding a passage:

To use django-adminfiles in your Django project:

1) Add 'adminfiles' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.

2) Make the contents of the adminfiles/media/adminfiles directory available
at MEDIA_URL/adminfiles (or
ADMINFILES_MEDIA_URL/adminfiles/, see ADMINFILES_MEDIA_URL). This can be
done by through your webserver configuration, via an
app such as django-staticfiles, or by copying the files or making a
symlink.

3) Add url(r'^adminfiles/', include('adminfiles.urls')) in your root
URLconf.
Inherit content model admin options from FilePickerAdmin.

While the first step and third steps are fairly clear, I have a bit of
confusion on the second pass. Just do not know if I have to create a link,
or if I take the folder and copy adminfiles ... where?

Sorry for the bad English 

Thanks.

Creating REST APIs in Django...advice

[Tom Christie]

I've been working on this with some folks:

http://django-rest-framework.org

Released 0.1 a few weeks ago, and it's coming along *really* nicely. It's under 
v active development ATM. The auto-generated API browser is particularly cool. 
Really would advise anyone taking a look at building web APIs in python to take 
a look at it.

Yes, no reason to put it in the Django installation. Put it in your project,

Re: Reusing a code snippet

Hi Daniel,

Thanks. I would think that plugging about in the default django installation
would not be good practice - can that file simply reside in the project
directory and the name
in settings.py MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES becomes 'myproj.filename', ?

My colleague has so far added the middleware to the django-pagination
middleware and it works just fine.

Thank you!

That's a middleware. It definitely doesn't go in views.py. Put it in its own 
file, and add the name to the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES tuple in settings.py.

It looks like something that should be in views.py to me, but I'd like

Hello,
So can anyone here recommend some REST packages/tools you use with
Django and have a good experience with?

I'm interested to know b/c it seems like most of the popular RESTful
Django projects really stopped being very active around mid-2008.

I'm wondering if that's because most people just build their own.

FWIW, I'd personnaly wrap this call in a function of a custom manager
- or monkeypatch the base Manager with it if you need it on other apps
managers. Having one single point of transformation is a good thing
when relying on some implementation detail that may change in the
future.
