Re: ImportError at/ No module name

2012-12-20 Thread djangobie 
I appreciate your response, but it cannot be the case, as my app is present 
in top level dir along with manage.py and project file container i.e. 
'djangopratice': 

*my dir structure is:*
--
djangopractice-
 --djangopractice-
   - __init__.py
   - settings.py
   - urls.py
   - wsgi.py

 --blog-
   - models.py
   - views.py
   - admin.py
   - __init__.py
   - test.py

 --Templates-
  - base.html
  - index.html
  - view_category.html
  - view_posts.html
-


P.S I tried it before posting the question.
Thanks

Vis. the bears, I can only recommend bear spray - and a good one, at that.

To address the queries at hand - coming from several languages and

- Django "just works" for a large share of "general" uses. The admin app is
a boon for those not too keen on reinventing the wheel when it comes to
"must-have" admin site functionality
- Django documentation is the amongst the best of any framework docs I have
had to consult. It is updated frequently and is never lagging too far back
from the current framework release. I will refrain from mentioning the
names of certain alternatives in this regard
- the Django community is sizeable and very active
- Django plays well on an array of development platforms. Linux, Windows,
Mac? Behaviour is consistent. This would be attributable in no small part
to Python's own cross-platform usability.
- Python. I do appreciate that the right tool must be used for each job,
but I am also still waiting to see that tool which would outdo Python in
most problem domains, at least relating to developer productivity.

I've been recently going through the process of distributing Django web
application with binary dependencies (NumPy/SciPy) as an one-click
executable. I have evaluated several solutions and the most effective
was creating a single-file binary package using PyInstaller
(pyinstaller.org, development version with some modifications for proper
dependency discovery). As for the web server I went with the pure-Python
CherryPy server (cherrypy.org). See https://gist.github.com/4349257 for

Re: Can't display data from app in flatpages

2012-12-20 Thread Jason Arnst-Goodrich 
The flatpages view is not provided the context which includes 'posts'.

IMO you are correct with the {% load posts %} technique because it is 
entirely as result of the template you are using that requires you display 
that information -- if that makes sense.

In other words it's not because of the flatpage you are loading but rather 
the template you are using which necessitates the 'posts' being used.

A new kind of blocktrans that works with an unknown format string and a dictionary containing substitutes.

2012-12-20 Thread Kal Sze 
Hello,

While trying to develop my first real Django project, I have come across an 
*apparent* need to i18n'ize any arbitrary, unknown format string, with an 
accompanying dictionary that contains the substitutes to insert into the 
translated format string. For instance, I have a template that is displayed 
when a certain SomeError is raised:

except SomeError as error:
render_to_response('myapp/some_error.html',
   { 'the_error': error },
   context_instance=RequestContext(request))

I expect the SomeError object to contain information to be displayed to the 
user. Specifically, SomeError will have a format_string attribute and a 
substitute_dict attribute. The content of format_string is chosen at 
runtime, but it is assumed that translations exist. For instance, 
format_string could be:

"{{user}}, you cannot upload this video because you are out of quota. 
You only have {{capacity}} out of {{quota}} left in your account."

or it could be:

"{{user}}, you cannot upload this video because it is in a format that 
we don't accept ({{video_format}})."

Now assume that French, Spanish, Chinese, etc. translations exist for the 
two example strings above.

And substitute_dict would contain the correct substitute strings. For 
instance:

{
'user': 'Alice',
'capacity': '50 MB',
'quota': '20 GB',
}

or

{
'user': 'Alice',
'video_format': '3ivx',
}

As you can imagine, even Django's built-in {% blocktrans %} tag doesn't 
seem to help here, for two reasons (as far as I understand):

   1. it requires the substitutes to be explicitly declared and bound to 
   variables right in the template file;
   2. it requires the i18n string to be spelled out between {% blocktrans %}
and {% endblocktrans %}; it cannot work with an i18n string that is 
   itself inside a variable.

Which means that I apparently need a new template tag, maybe something 
called {% blockdicttrans format_string substitute_dict %}.

Is this madness? Have I overlooked some Django or Pythonic way? Or is it 
actually a justifiable use case?

Cheers,
Kal

What are the required options in order to enable djangodblog for error logging in a MySQL database?

2012-12-20 Thread dariyoosh 


Hello everybody,

I would like to ask a question about djangodblog used for logging real time 
Django exceptions 
into the application database. I use the following tools for my project

*Database:* 5.5.28 MySQL Community Server

*OS*: Fedora Core 17 (X86_64)

*Django* 1.4.2

*Python* 2.7.3

According to what I read in Jim McGaw's book : "Beginning Django 
E-Commerce" 
I defined my *settings.py* including the following items:

*DEBUG =** False*...*MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES **= (*
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
# Uncomment the next line for simple clickjacking protection:
# 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
#'djangodblog.DBLogMiddleware',
*djangodblog**.middleware.DBLogMiddleware**',*
)
.
.
.*INSTALLED_APPS = (*
#'django.contrib.auth',
#'django.contrib.contenttypes',
#'django.contrib.sessions',
#'django.contrib.sites',
#'django.contrib.messages',
#'django.contrib.staticfiles',
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
# 'django.contrib.admin',
# Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
# 'django.contrib.admindocs',
*'**djangodblog',*)

Once I run:

*python -tt manage.**py syncdb*

All tables were created successfully (I checked by connecting to the 
database). 
However, *it seems that djangodblog is not active as there is no row 
inserted 
whenever there is an exception*. For example, let's say, you specify a 
template 
that does not yet exist or the directory path to the template is not 
correct. In this case, 
Django raises exceptions such as TemplateDoesNotExist (which you can see in 
the 
browser as a printed error StackTrace if the DEBUG is set to True within 
project settings.py).

Consequently, I would like to ask is there any further parameter to 
define/enable? 
in order to force Django to update error logs in MySQL as they happen in 
real time?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Dariyoosh

@Odagi

point well made. thanks for everyone for being so welcoming :0 I spent 
today building my first Django local site,
ended up with 4 apps. taken me awhile to get my head around things i 
ended up with


registration
  - handles my user signed
security
 - login, logout
web
 - flat pages etc
- rewards
 - a simple api link to an existing platform in java

given this was my first time really playing with the framework, well 
it conforms to what i'm use to in java and ColdFusion,
views are almost the same as CF MVC. at some point i will do a write 
up on my blog http://www.glynjackson.org/blog/ (plug, plug)


so i have some of the basic stuff down with models and views, I'm sure 
i will have lost of stupid questions in the coming months.


I go to some cons so why not add another one to my list (my wife will 
kill me)!!!



again thanks :)





I'm pretty glad, that you found django helpful for you.

There is no stupid questions. There are only stupid answers

I'm hoping this is the right place to ask such questions, please
forgive me if not.

I'm making a real time investment in learning another server side
language. I have 10 years ColdFusion, 5 years  PHP, JAVA. Having
never touched Python let alone the framework Django, for the past
4 weeks I have been testing Django out. Darn, Raspberry Pi started
me with my blog (http://www.glynjackson.org/blog/
) I have to say its nice,
however my concerns are now to do with the community and not so
much with the framework itself.

No one likes to back a loser and every time I search for Django
community I'm faced with a host of negative posts. for example:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2777883


Unlike other languages I'm active in and still use, I'm also
finding it hard to find any user groups locally in the UK (I'm
based in Manchester, UK).

So from the community itself how alive is Django? Should I really
invest the time to learn? Does it have a real future and please be
honest.

other questions

1) is this worth going? --- http://2013.djangocon.eu
2) who are the top blogs people within the Django community who
should I be following, blogs feed etc.

Sorry for the stupid questions, but and just want a new skillset
that I can use for many years to come. Django is really cool
