Why Django cause this error since I simply use django-admin.py?

Re: Speeding up test database creation

[John Maxwell]

I just tried changing 'NAME' to ':memory:' and I'm still getting the same
results.

I continued with the tutorial for a while, and it turns out that the unit
tests for the polls app don't have this problem.  So now I'm beginning to
suspect that there's a problem with Django, and the implementation
of LiveServerTestCase doesn't do the usual in-memory database magic (this
may even be by design, though I can't think of any good reasons offhand).

The Selenium-based testing is not proving as useful as the tutorial sells
it, either...  When I use the find_by_name method of the browser object,
and the relevant name isn't to be found, it seems to hang indefinitely
instead of stopping and alerting me of the problem.  So combining these two
considerations, perhaps it's best to stick to unit tests and not bother
with functional tests.

What you need to do is write your own password_reset_confirm() method.

You could tackle this three ways, depending on how much custom code you
want to write.

Firstly, reinvent the wheel. Copy and paste the original, and insert your
code to log in the user on success. Simple, and it works, but it's ugly.

Secondly, don't reinvent the wheel :-) The wonderful thing about Django is
that views are just methods - which means you can invoke them:

def my_password_reset_confirm(request):
response = password_reset_confirm(request)
do_stuff()
return response

So - write a custom password_reset_confirm method that does all the usual
reset confirmation, and integrates the calls to authenticate and login().
If the original method returns a HTTPRedirect, you know the reset was
successful, so you can reprocess the POST data to extract the username and
password.

Thirdly, don't reinvent the wheel, and don't reprocess form data either --
exploit duck typing. The existing password_reset_confirm takes the form as
an argument; the only problem is that the form doesn't have access to the
request. password_reset_confirm takes the form class as an argument, but
through the wonders of duck typing, there's nothing that says you need to
provide a form class -- you just need to provide something that takes the
same arguments as a form class constructor.

So, subclass the form so that it *does* take the request as an argument,
and put the login code as part of the form save() method. Then, write a
method that has the same prototype as the constructor for the form that
the password_reset_confirm() method is expecting, but returns an instance
of *your* form, bound with the current request. Abracadabra - you've got
the request object provided to the password reset form!

I'm afraid I don't even understand the question here. When is it legal to
access the request? Whenever it's been passed in as an argument to whatever
function is in use. When is it passed in as an argument? Whenever it's in
the method prototype.

You say you're putting data on the settings object in order to preserve the
request. Firstly, this scares the bejeezus out of me, above and beyond my
earlier comments about globals. Using thread locals is bad architecture,
but at least it will work. If you're just setting settings.request,
hilarity *will* ensue as soon as you have a real production scenario --
request objects will be shared between threads, meaning all sorts of
session leakage, security problems and more.

Lastly, you say you need the request object for your session backend. I'm
not entirely sure I see why you need the request object for this -- the API
for a session store is based on the idea that a session key can be used to
retrieve session data; it should be independent of a User model. However,
assuming you have a real reason for doing this, the way to get the request
object into the session store is to write a custom SessionMiddleware that
passes in the request object when the session object is instantiated. No
special magic required -- find the place where request is needed, add it to
the method prototype, and add it to the call when the method is used.

There's no "automatic" anything going on here. request is either an
argument on a method, or it isn't. Part of the contract for a view is that
the first argument is the request object. However, that's no different to
saying that the first argument to open() is a file name, or that the first
argument to __getitem__() is the index of the object you want to return. If
you need the request to be available somewhere, then you need to find the
call path from the middleware/view to whatever code needs the request
object.

In the documentation it is quite clear that the following syntax is

{{ blah_string }}

etc etc.

This works fine if the original trans tag is inside a block but then the
blah_string variable is only valid within that block. If you place the
trans tag in a global position (outside of any blocks) the blah_string
variable does not work when you try and use it in a block (that is any
block). I am using Django 1.4.2 and think this behaviour is somewhat
strange given the documentation for this particular feature. Surely you
should be able to declare the trans tag outside of any block as the
chances are that you will want to use the blah_string variable in more
than one block (I often have three or four blocks per page for various
things).

So is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?



Any comments on this at all? I'm still not entirely sure if this behaviour
is intentional or not.



Templates have scope, so yes, this is expected. Any nodes in a derived
template that aren't {% block %} or inside a {% block %} tag are
ignored or not output*.

An alternative would be to pass a list or dictionary of shared
translations to the template.

Cheers

Tom

* I must admit, I don't know precisely how template rendering handles
this. Certain tags, eg loading tag libraries will work fine. Any tag
that outputs anything will not, and any tag that sets things in the
context will not be in scope in other blocks.



Thanks for the reply.

I have to admit to finding this behaviour both counter-intuitive and 
somewhat perplexing.


This use case in particular would benefit greatly from allowing a 
variable to be declared in a global scope and used throughout a specific 
template. I'm not suggesting that global variables be inherited by 
derived templates mearly that you can have global variables in 
individual templates.


I guess I'll have to go with the list or dictionary approach although 
I'm not that happy about it as it feels like a bit of a hack to get 
round a problem that really shouldn't exist.

How to log a user in automatically after a password reset?

[JC Briar]

When a user has forgotten their password, I use 
django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset to send an email containing a 
temporary link. When the user follows that link, I use 
password_reset_confirm to let them set a new password. So far, so good.

But password_reset_confirm doesn't automatically log the user in – as a 
result, immediately after resetting their password the user has to enter it 
again in order to log in. Most users, I suspect, would find this to be 
obnoxious.

How could this be fixed? According to the auth 
documentation,
 
I need to call authenticate() and login(). But where? I could supply my own 
SetPasswordForm subclass to password_reset_confirm, and make the calls in 
its save() method... except save() doesn't have access to the HttpRequest 
object that login() requires. Or I could define my own 
password_reset_complete view... but then I wouldn't have access to the 
username and password anymore. Are there other options?

Re: How to get the source code of an url?

[donarb]

You're not parsing XML, it's HTML and it's not well formed, for example 
your title and author tags have closing tags that don't match. Your HTML 
needs to be valid XHTML before trying to use an XML parser on it. You might 
want to try something else to parse this, like Scrapy or Beautiful Soup.

This isn't something you do in the urlconf. You do that in your view, where 
the current user is available already as `request.user`.

Formset - PlainTextOutput-Widget?

[Stefano Probst]

Hi!
I have a Table with intitialdata from my database. It is implement with a 
formset. Every row i a form. Now I want to show a text (names) per row. The 
right in the picture (in black) exist, the red is to do. It should not be 
an TextInput-widget, it should be a plain text. Like a 
PlainTextOutput-Widget.
Does anyone have tips for me?

Retrieve current user id in urls.py

[Peter Edström]

Hello,

I've set up a user profile according to 
thisand
 now I'm trying to access the id of the currently logged in user in my 
urls.py, like this:

# urls.py  
> from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
> from django.views.generic import list_detail 
> from myproj.myapp.models import App1
>

> app1_info = {
> 'queryset': App1.objects.filter(employee=)),
> 'template_name': 'template.html',
> }
>
> urlpatterns = patterns('',
> (r'^logged_in/$', login_required(list_detail.object_list), app1_info),
> )
>

In App1 I have a OneToOneField to my user profile, I want to list 
everything in App1 filtered on the currently logged in user (employee = 
current_user).
Every example I find in the docs uses the request.user.username, but I have 
no request method here.

Any clues?

django/celery - celery status: Error: No nodes replied within time constraint

[Hector Armando Vela Santos]

I'm trying to deploy a simple example of celery in my production server, 
I've followed the tutorial in the celery website about running celery as 
daemon
http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/tutorials/daemonizing.html#daemonizing, 
and I got the config file in*/etc/default/celeryd*
*
*

 1 # Name of nodes to start
  2 # here we have a single node
  3 CELERYD_NODES="w1"
  4 # or we could have three nodes:
  5 #CELERYD_NODES="w1 w2 w3"
  6 
  7 # Where to chdir at start.
  8 CELERYD_CHDIR="/home/audiwime/cidec_sw"
  9 
 10 # Python interpreter from environment.
 11 ENV_PYTHON="/usr/bin/python26"
 12 
 13 # How to call "manage.py celeryd_multi"
 14 CELERYD_MULTI="$ENV_PYTHON $CELERYD_CHDIR/manage.py celeryd_multi"
 15 
 16 # # How to call "manage.py celeryctl"
 17 CELERYCTL="$ENV_PYTHON $CELERYD_CHDIR/manage.py celeryctl"
 18 
 19 # Extra arguments to celeryd
 20 CELERYD_OPTS="--time-limit=300 --concurrency=8"
 21 
 22 # Name of the celery config module.
 23 CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE="celeryconfig"
 24 
 25 # %n will be replaced with the nodename.
 26 CELERYD_LOG_FILE="/var/log/celery/%n.log"
 27 CELERYD_PID_FILE="/var/run/celery/%n.pid"
 28 
 29 # Workers should run as an unprivileged user.
 30 CELERYD_USER="audiwime"
 31 CELERYD_GROUP="audiwime"
 32 
 33 export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="cidec_sw.settings"

but if I run

celery status

in the terminal, i got this response:

Error: No nodes replied within time constraint

I can restart celery via the celeryd script provided in
https://github.com/celery/celery/tree/3.0/extra/generic-init.d/

/etc/init.d/celeryd restart
celeryd-multi v3.0.12 (Chiastic Slide)
> w1.one.cloudwime.com: DOWN
> Restarting node w1.one.cloudwime.com: OK

I can run

python26 manage.py celeryd -l info

and my tasks in django run fine, but if I let the daemon do its work i dont 
get any results, don't even errors in */var/log/celery/w1.log*

I know that my task has been registered because I did this from celery 
import current_app def call_celery_delay(request): print current_app.tasks 
run.delay(request.GET['age']) return HttpResponse(content="celery task 
set",content_type="text/html") and I get a dictionary in wich my task appear

{'celery.chain': <@task: celery.chain>, 'celery.chunks': <@task: 
celery.chunks>, 'celery.chord': <@task: celery.chord>, 'tasks.add2': 
<@task: tasks.add2>, 'celery.chord_unlock': <@task:

'tareas.tasks.test_one_minute': <@task: tareas.tasks.test_one_minute>, 
'celery.starmap': <@task: celery.starmap>}

but besides that I get nothing else, no result from my task, no error in 
the logs, nothing. Can anyone tell me what can be wrong? You are my only 
hope...

Re: Django Oscar "Add to basket" issue

[David Winterbottom]

Hi Achu,

Note that there is a google group for Oscar questions - that's a better 
place to ask questions such as this.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/django-oscar

Re your question: it looks like you are missing the basket middleware.  You 
need to add 'oscar.apps.basket.middleware.BasketMiddleware' to your 
'MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES' to have the basket instance assigned to the request 
object.

See 
http://django-oscar.readthedocs.org/en/releases-0.4/getting_started.html#settings
 
for more details on installing Oscar.

Cheers, David

How to get the source code of an url?

[wbc]

I'm trying to parse an xml url with minidom. I have an url with my xml data.

This is my code:

url = "http://myurl.com/wsname.asp";
datasource = urllib2.urlopen(url)

dom = parse(datasource)
handleElements(dom)

my handleElements function to parse xml:

def handleElements(dom):
Elements = dom.getElementsByTagName("book")
for item in Elements:
getText(item.getElementsByTagName("id")[0].childNodes)


My xml:


 
 747
 L'alchimiste
 Paulo Cohelo 
  
 ...
   


I get no error, but no result!

my handleElements() works fine because when I copy the same data from my 
url put it in a string and use parseString instead of parse everything 
works fine and I get my results.

But when trying to openurl, Elements is empty and the loop is not even 
started

*
*

Seems that I need to get the sourcecode of the url (not it's content) (like 
the view-source in chrome) How can I do that?

Thanks

Templates have scope, so yes, this is expected. Any nodes in a derived
template that aren't {% block %} or inside a {% block %} tag are
ignored or not output*.

An alternative would be to pass a list or dictionary of shared
translations to the template.

Cheers

Tom

* I must admit, I don't know precisely how template rendering handles
this. Certain tags, eg loading tag libraries will work fine. Any tag
that outputs anything will not, and any tag that sets things in the
context will not be in scope in other blocks.

It's not perfect, but ft=django should get you some reasonable
template highlighting, and ft=htmldjango will get mixed mode template
and html highlighting. It's built-in to my version of vim, 7.3.632.

For general python syntax, I use an updated one from vim.org:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=790

and have "let python_highlight_all=1" in my .vimrc

Re: how should I get the request object?

[Wade Williams]

I share the disdain for global variables as well.

I'm fairly new to Django, and what I'm not understanding is when the 
request object is available for inclusion. I have a custom session backend 
that I've built in order to support a legacy user model and session table 
-- when I tried to simply add the request parameter from this backend, I 
got number of parameter errors, so it seems that it isn't totally available 
all of the time. 

Im currently patching this with a similarly horrible settings.request var 
that simply contains the request, so an import of settings makes this work.

But again, that's icky, and horrible, and no, so when exactly can you add 
the request parameter, and when can't you ? 


Thanks so much for the clarification. Lots of search attempts and still not 
understanding when it's automatically passed in as a parameter / how that 
even gets passed to the method. As far as I can tell, middleware and views 
both have access to the request, but is it simply the wrong thing to try 
and access the request in some other place ?

Re: Django 1.5 custom User model error. "Manager isn't available; User has been swapped"

Hi,

You need to unregister `User` model from admin site before registering new one.

admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(CustomUser, UserAdmin)

Please have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/a/2270704/353550

Re: Javascript in external file not working

[lokesh]

Hi,

Please check the DEBUG is True or False in settings. If the DEBUG is True 
it will not serve the static files in development server, So you need to 
serve the static files from some other server or you need to change the 
DEBUG level as False if you are in development mode.

pyodbc utf-8

[Nebros]

Hello community
 
i have a next problem. i have connected with pyodbc to a mssql db. i read 
values out of it, all works, but i have problems with "ä" "ö" and "ü".
on my html.page i made this into the header:
 

 
on all my pages this umlauts works, but not the values of the pyodbc...
when i only give out the row, i become something like this: Hansj\xf6rg 
,but it have to be this: Hansjörg
when i print this value out into a table, the field keeps empty.
 
it must be a problem of pyodbc, but i dont know how to fix it. i tryed 
something like this:
 
views.py 
def kundendaten(request):
ret = request.POST
form = ret['kunde']
conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL
