Re: [help] Server Config: django + uwsgi + nginx

[easypie]

Thanks. I was missing the virtualenv= mentions earlier. I'm glad I 
know this those settings are meant for development only. I was a little 
confused thinking that was ready for deployment. I'm new to all this and 
get confuse sometimes.

Re: HELP with unicode!!!!!

[JHeasly]

Also, have a look at this slidedeck: http://farmdev.com/talks/unicode/

It's from a PyCon 2008 talk, "Unicode In Python, Completely Demystified" A 
video of the talk is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cecJ9o5GGmw, but the 
audio's miserable, and the slides are pretty good, so it may be all you 
need to get your head around what's going on.

Also, in your code example, the error says Unicode*Encode*Error, *not*Decode, 
so try 
val.*encode*('utf-8')(not val.*decode*('utf-8')).

Re: Paramiko EOFErrors start to occur after a while

[Kurtis Mullins]

I messed with the SFTP implementatoin a while back. I noticed it was pretty
tough and, if I'm not mistaken, a bit out-dated. We ended up moving to
Amazon S3 so it wasn't a big deal.

Anyways, maybe you could try using another file system? SSH isn't really an
ideal solution for this sort of a problem -- even though it works as a
great starting point.

I'm not sure if that helps much but good luck to you!

Re: html5 + Django

[Daniel Sokolowski]

Hi there, you may also just serve both your static files and django through one 
apache instance – makes for simple setup and you’ll know when you need 
something more complicated.

Sample apache script: http://dpaste.com/741128/

I suggest Nginx to serve your static files, and possibly also as a reverse 
proxy to point to your Django with Gunicorn/Apache setup (If you haven't 
considered Gunicorn as a production server yet, please do. It is fantastic).

  It is much better to use Apache for static files than Django. You can still

Hi Everyone, 

I'm working on a heavily animated web site using the html5 canvas tag. 
Its mainly made of html, javascript and css static files and I'd like 
to integrate the Google Identity Toolkit for an Oauth 2.0 account 
chooser for signup and registration. 

The first question is Django a good candidate for serving up mainly 
static files and using a small Django app for authentication? 

And secondly what performance impact would this have over straight 
apache? 

More info: 

1. Static web files such as html, javascript and css are stored on 
Amazon AWS S3 
2. Data is loaded via oData using jsdata for animations 
3. Amazon AWS EC2 is used to scale apache web servers 

Thanks in advance.

Re: Django timezone doesn't show the right time?

[akaariai]

I see I am talking about concepts which are not yet familiar to you.

By template I mean Django's HTML template engine. This is introduced
in part 3 of the tutorial.

The reason for the errors is that Poll is not an instance, it is the
class so it doesn't have pub_date. poll isn't assigned to yet. You
could do poll = Poll.objects.all()[0], and then poll would be assigned
the first Poll object instance, fetched from the database.

Hi thanks for taking the time to explain to me!

Unfortunately I still don't understand the outputs that I get in Python 
console, maybe it's because I don't understand the concept of templates.
But this is what I tried to do in Python console.

>>> p.save()
>>> p.id
4
>>> p.question
"Giddeup'ah!"

, ]



p.pub_date and Poll.objects.all() show the same time info, so how do I see 
the time with the simplest of templates?



Also when I tried typing "poll.pub_date" in different ways I get these 
errors.

>>> *Poll.pub_date*
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
AttributeError: type object 'Poll' has no attribute 'pub_date'

>>> *poll.pub_date*

AttributeError: type object 'Poll' has no attribute 'pub_date'



Here's a better overview of what my relevant files looks like and what 
setup I have tried to use.  Maybe it will help in finding if I 
have mis-configured something.

Re: Problem with a clean in inline formset

[Ernesto Guevara]

Solution:

def clean(self):
   if any(self.errors):
   # Don't bother validating the formset unless each form is
valid on its own
   return
   for i in range(0, self.total_form_count()):
   form = self.forms[i]
   cleaned_data = form.clean()
   display = cleaned_data.get('display', None)
   if cleaned_data['DELETE'] == False:
 if display.max_windows() >= display.windows:
   raise forms.ValidationError("The display have all
windows occupied.")

Put the line if cleaned_data['DELETE'] == False:  to check if the inline
have the attribute DELETE and if is false, to ignore deleted rows in
formset that have true in this attribute. =)

Paramiko EOFErrors start to occur after a while

[Tino de Bruijn]

Hi,

My setup is the following: I have two webservers that serve all dynamic 
request. I have a seperate static file server (that also has some celery 
queue workers running). When images are uploaded by users, those images are 
uploaded to the webservers, and processed async by a queue. In the job they 
are transfered to the static file server and resized. For the admin 
however, I want the transfering and resizing done right then, so that when 
admins post content, it is immediatly visible. Admins post different 
content than users, so this is implemented by using a different field on 
the models. The admin images are transfered to the static file server 
directly by using sftpstorage from django-storages.

The problem is that paramiko (used by django-storages for the sftp 
implementation) starts to throw EOFErrors. This doesn't always happen. When 
the mod_wsgi instance is fresh, everything works, but after a while these 
errors start occurring. Touching the wsgi.py file makes everything work 
again.

I have build a retry loop (5 times) to try to circumvent network glitches, 
but it consistently fails. If it needs to retry it'll keep failing.

I have two questions:

1) Does anybody have an idea why this could be happening?
2) Is this the best way to implement this strategy, or would you suggest a 
different technique?

Thanks,


Tino

Tools for extending the admin?

[Roy Smith]

I'm working on a site which makes extensive use of admin, and we're 
starting to look at extending/customizing it.  I am aware of 
django-admin-tools and django-grappelli.  Are there other projects I should 
be looking at for admin extension/customization ideas?

Re: serving client uploaded files

[Tino de Bruijn]

You probably want to implement this with X-Sendfile (or X-Accel-Redirect 
for Nginx) headers. Those tell the frontend server to serve a specific file.

This explains it a 
bit. 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1156246/having-django-serve-downloadable-files

By googling you will find many examples.

Absolutely - I've seen a lot of replies from people saying its a low wage,
but I started off on that very same wage, AND I had to drag my ass into an
office across a 2 hour round trip on public transport whilst working 40
hour weeks.

Couldn't agree with you more. I've done the whole working in the city
thing, £65k basic/year etc, and it was fun for the first few months, but
there's more to life than money.

And at those salaries, you can guarantee you're gonna be stressed as hell
and on-call every weekend.

Work satisfaction, opportunities/learning experience, and general life
style means so much more - it just took me a few years to realise :)

Re: [help] Server Config: django + uwsgi + nginx

[Kurtis Mullins]

Judging from your Import Error -- I think you're having a problem with
Django not being on the Python path. In my uwsgi configuration file (I used
.xml), it looks like this:



DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=fireflie.settings
4
0.0.0.0:7999
/home/fireflie/staging/fireflie/
django.core.handlers.wsgi:WSGIHandler()
/home/fireflie/staging/fireflie/
/home/fireflie/staging/
/var/log/uwsgi/uwsgi.log
/tmp/fireflie-staging.pid


Note: That's not guaranteed to be production-ready (we're just using it for
development) and I'm also not using a virtual environment (we use a whole
sever for the single Django application). In other words, I'm not following
best practices by a large margin. Good luck!

It's a long-standing limitation with the python csv module that it does not
handle Unicode well. In fact, it's one of the first things mentioned in the
docs:

 http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html

Further down that page, though, is a snippet of code that you should be
able to use (search the page for "unicode_csv_reader")

If that doesn't work, come back here with some code that you've tried and
hopefully we can find a solution

Re: serving client uploaded files

[Kurtis Mullins]

You could use a pseudo-random filename so that it's very unlikely people
will be able to easily find other's photos.

If you're very concerned with users being authenticated before viewing the
media (which to me, sounds like there won't be a huge load on that segment
of your web application) then you can easily use Django to simply store the
files to a private directory and let Django handle serving the images. It's
not the most efficient technique in terms of speed but it's a reasonable
compromise for the security you're looking for.

According to another topic -- some developers are being paid roughly

Re: [JOB] Urgent - PHP/Python Developer needed

[Kurtis Mullins]

Congrats on finding people to fill your position(s), Cal!

At first I read that and thought "man, that's almost insulting". I can
honestly say that it's not completely unfair to pay someone $20/hour
-- especially if they're still in school. I barely make more than that as a
lead-developer for a startup, haha. One of these days it'll get finished
and I'll have a nice, large project to put on my CV/Portfolio :)

The sad thing is that you can enter the corporate world and easily hit
$80,000+/year -- but I know I could never be happy in that kind of a work
environment.

No Module Named Generic

entry_info_dict = {

Internally Django works in UTC . When you display a value in a
template or in a form it will be converted to the currently active
time zone (by default settings.TIMEZONE). So, when you just do
Poll.objects.all() you will see the UTC time, as this is Python
internal representation. If you would do {{poll.pub_date}} in the
template, it would be displayed in the time zone you have currently
active.

Getting checkbox value in controller

[Larry Martell]

I have a template that creates a text entry field and a checkbox. When
the checkbox is unchecked, the text field is disabled and cleared,
when it's checked, it's enabled, and the user may or may not have
typed in it. In my controller I need to distinguish between the 2
cases when the checkbox is unchecked, and then the checkbox is checked
but the text field is blank. I can get the value of the text field,
but not of the checkbox. Is there some way to do this? I've googled
this, and this has been asked a few times on stackoverflow, but none
of the solutions seem to work for me.

Re: startproject/startapp template context

[Sam Simmons]

Checked the src and it's the case that the 'any options' means the ones 
available to the command. I could see an additional context option being 
useful. I'm thinking a good way to go about this would be passing a path to 
a config file that can be consumed by ConfigParser:

django-admin.py startproject --template=/path/to/boilerplate 
--template-context=options.conf myproject

opions.conf:
[options]
compass
coffee
js_dir=javascripts
css_dir=sass

Only issue is ConfigParser expects a section header which isn't necessary 
here...

Re: [JOB] Urgent - PHP/Python Developer needed

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Thanks to everyone for your feedback and to everyone who applied for the
position - we had some really great applicants, and one or two
exceptionally good ones.

The position has now been filled, but we will keep everyone who applied on
file for future ref.

I should also take the opportunity to mention that we have other openings
coming up in the next few months which are purely Python/Django based - and
we are also considering taking on interns this year.

Cal

HELP with unicode!!!!!

[dizzydoc]

Hi ,

i have lost a lot of time looking for a solution.

My problem is, while i a reading csv in python using

csv_file  = open(path_file, "rb")
reader = csv.reader(csv_file)

whenever i perform any operation on the string returned in each cell i
get this error

*** UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0'
in position 34: ordinal not in range(128)

i tried decoding the value as

val.decode('utf-8')

...this helped to reduce a few encodings but gets stuck for
the encoding "\xa0"
Please HELP!

Thanks

startproject/startapp template context

[Sam Simmons]

I was pretty excited to see the template option for 
startapp/startproject.
 
Especially when I read your context can be any option passed to the command 
and it clicked that the files are rendered using django's templating 
system. This could make for a really nice configurable boilerplate. But, 
after playing with it it looks like by any option they just meant the 
options available to the commands (django-admin.py help startapp/project).

If that's the case, that's quite a bubble burst. Is there any way to pass 
in arbitrary context to the template? e.g.

django-admin.py startproject --template=/path/to/boilerplate --compass=true 
--coffee=true myproject

Or maybe a standard way to define a python dictionary and pass it in as the 
context:

django-admin.py startproject --template=/path/to/boilerplate 
--template-context=config.py myproject

Thanks!

serving client uploaded files

[Nenad Cikic]

Hello,
how can i serve the file uploaded files (images)? What I mean I have few 
model with images, and I see images in the change form.
The problem is that I can see the same images by writing directly the media 
path in the web address. And since the model is designed to have data split 
between the users I do not want the images to be seen that way.
I have looked and found
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/?from=olddocs#staticfiles-other-directories
What I have done is to add to the url the following
url(r'^media/(?P.*)$', "registracija.views.myuploadedfileview", 
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,}),

and then the view is something as:
  #parse the request and try to undestand if the image is mine 
  if yes:
 return serve(request, path, document_root, show_indexes)
  else:
 return HttpResponseNotFound()

This is working; what bothers me is that the serve function is, as in docs, 
stated to be used only in development. 
But if I serve the images directly by the web server, would I bypass my 
security checks?
Is there any other way to achieve my means?
Thanks
Nenad
