class MyModel(Model):
   ...
   def save(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
   self.updated_by = user
   return super(MyModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

>From there, you just need to follow that path back to the place where the
model is saved by the form. All the admin save handlers have access to the
request, from which you can extract the user; form construction in the
admin is also abstracted behind an interface, so you can modify the
arguments passed to the form at time of construction; and forms can be
modified to pass down the user data as needed to the call to save().

Now - I'm not for a second claiming that this is something that Django does
well -- but it *can* be done (I know, because I've done it).

And, more to the point, I'd look very sympathetically on any proposal or
patch that made it easier to do this sort of thing -- a lot more
sympathetically than I would on saying "This is hard, lets go shopping and
use lots of global variables".

Try this in your css ...

or for all TextField ...

.vLargeTextField {

or all ordinary CharField ...

.vTextField {

I haven't played with the widgets but the docs will possibly tell you 
the attributes are rows and cols rather than size.

I also changed the width in css but unsuccessfully.

Do you have any solution to suggest?

"condition_dict" and "get_cleaned_data_for_step" triggers multiple queries in FormWizard

[Einsiedlerkrebs]

Hi,

I made a FormWizard with Django 1.4 according to the 
FormWizard-documentationwith
 
*different templates for each form* and *Conditionally view*. 
It works, but I found a problem with the *Conditionally view*. The 
condition callable triggers, (like *show_message_form_condition()* from the 
documentation) *get_cleaned_data_for_step* and this triggers seven times  *
get_form_kwargs()*
If there is a query in the form, the same querie hits seven times the 
datebase because of *get_form_kwargs()

*Is this a bug in Django with get_cleaned_data_for_step?

I need your help. :(

What is the right way to design a system whereby on every save for every 
model the updated_by column is changed to the user.id of the logged-in 
user? This has to happen whether updates are done via views or the 
Django-Admin.


And I'm saying anonymous users can't update at all.

I actually got this working some months ago using Marty Alchin's 
CurrentUserField from his Pro Django. It was a bit complex for my level 
of competence and I took it out as part of a simplification exercise 
when I was debugging something diabolical and didn't put it back for 
another reason but that's another story.


Thanks

Mike




The official (and useless) answer is that you must pass "user" in
everywhere you save anything. This is stupid, obviously, because you
can not rewrite every third-party app to support this (among other
reasons).


Can someone please explain to my why it is "stupid" that a function
should accept as an argument everything that it needs to perform it's
job? This is basic algorithm design, not black magic.

I'm utterly amazed that for some reason, when it comes to web
programming, global variables have somehow become acceptable. Because
that's what a thread local is - a global variable.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my first year university curriculum
pointed out why global variables shouldn't be used. 20-odd years of
software development experience has reinforced this understanding.

Django itself uses thread locals in a couple of internal components, and
let me tell you from experience -- every single one of them causes a
world of hurt when you start trying to debug edge cases, or when you're
trying to implement tests of functionality. If my time machine was
working, I'd be jumping back in time to purge every last use of thread
locals from Django's codebase.

There was a good tutorial for using threadlocals on the
official Django wiki but someone deleted it in a fit of spite a few
years ago.


No - there was *a* tutorial several years ago, and it was deleted
because members of the core team got tired of jumping into every
conversation where it was referenced to chime in, yet again, that it was
bad practice, with a whole bunch of potential security implications.

Fixing these problems the right way requires some planning. But for me,
"it's harder to do this properly" isn't a compelling reason to bugger up
your system architecture.

If a third party app doesn't provide a way to pass in the user object,
then *fix the damn third party app*. This is open source, after all, and
an inability to pass in relevant parameters to an operation is a bug (or
at least a missing feature).

And if there's somewhere that Django doesn't do a good job about making
it easy to pass around relevant parameters, *suggest an improvement*. I
can think of a couple of places in the forms library where there is
obvious room for improvement (possible to work around at present, but
not as elegant as a baked-in solution).

1) This doesn't appear to be a question about Django. You're going to have
much better luck asking for details about freeze on a Python-specific
mailing list.

2) Which part of error message doesn't make sense? Python can't import the
module _cairo. This means that either you haven't installed Cairo, or it
isn't installed properly. This may well be a side effect of using freeze on
a module that has a binary component -- but as I said in the first point,
you'll need to take that up on a Python mailing list.

Re: Django static files STATIC_ROOT vs STATICFILES_FINDERS

[Hartmut]

I like this explanation very much, thank You. I didn't know, that 
STATICFILES_DIRS is the source for the DEV-server serving static files. 
That is a big help. Now, as a consequence, in my project I've renamed the 
empty static folder (where the collects go into) to "static_collected", 
that means:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, '*static_collected*')
Than its more clear to me and I don't mix it up again ;-)

I have been googing this for 2 days and trying lots of different
things, without success. I really appreciate your help - I've made
more progress in the last hour when in the previous 48.

I know it's not strictly a django question (but it's more django
related then a lot of posts I see here ;-) but I am doing this from a
django app.

So my question now is, once the user has selected their file(s) how do
I get the file contents and names back into my python code so I can
process them.

Re: plugin for selecting files

[Shawn Milochik]

You can certainly upload a file, then parse it or whatever. I'm just
saying you can't just grab a directory listing from the user.

To upload multiple files, you may be able to just add "multiple" to
your file upload element. A quick Google search found this:
http://davidwalsh.name/multiple-file-upload

In any case, your questions have nothing to do with Django. Try Google
first, in any case.

I have a requirement to allow the user to select a list of files, and
then I need to get those files and do all kinds of processing on them
(parsing, updating the database, converting them, etc.) There must be
a way to do that.

Django on Mediatemple DV (4.0) in Virtualenv

[Tim Walzer]

I am currently trying to install Django on a Mediatemple DV (4.0) server 
and have the installation be within a virtualenv.  The django app will be 
run from a subdomain, *parts.domain.com*, while the root domain *domain.com* is 
serving a wordpress site.

I have django installed inside the virtualenv at *
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/parts/env/* The virtual environment is *'env'.  *The 
server is running python 2.4.3, but I needed at least 2.6, so I installed 
2.6 inside the virtual env and that worked perfectly for setting up the 
initial django site.  Now the problem comes with the running of django.

I created a vhost.conf file under */var/www/vhosts/parts.domain.com/conf*
*
*

   SetHandler python-program
PythonPath "['/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/parts/env/bin', 
'/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/parts/env/store'] + sys.path"
PythonHandler virtualproject
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE store.settings


 The path to virtualproject, referenced in the PythonHandler line, is 
*/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/parts/env/bin/virtualproject.py. 
 *

The contents of that file are:

*activate_this = '/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/parts/env/bin/activate_this.py'
*
*execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))*
*
*
*from django.core.handlers.modpython import handler*
*
*
The activate_this.py file is the one that comes with the virtualenv 
installation

When I go to the site *parts.domain.com*, I get the following error in the 
apache logs:

[Thu Mar 14 17:29:45 2013] [error] [client ] PythonHandler virtualproject: 
Traceback (most recent call last):

[Thu Mar 14 17:29:45 2013] [error] [client ] PythonHandler virtualproject: 
ImportError: No module named django.core.handlers.modpython

I can only think that this is happening because apache is attempting to use 
the system default python2.4 instead of the one in my virtualenv where 
django is installed.  How do I fix this?

You can't, and you can't. The text in the button comes from your
browser and the language in it will change based on your browser's
language setting. The only way to "change" it is to fake it by using
CSS to hide it and display something on top of it.

You can't get the list of files from the user's OS into your Web app.
That would be a glaring security flaw.

Re: Can anyone give me a suggestion or a recommendation as to how I can access the current user's username in the models.py?

[Shawn Milochik]

I've repeatedly asked about this over the past couple of years and
there seems to be no "right" answer." This, to me, is the biggest flaw
in Django.

The official (and useless) answer is that you must pass "user" in
everywhere you save anything. This is stupid, obviously, because you
can not rewrite every third-party app to support this (among other
reasons). There was a good tutorial for using threadlocals on the
official Django wiki but someone deleted it in a fit of spite a few
years ago.

If you search for "audit user shawn milochik" in this Google Group
(https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!searchin/django-users/audit$20user$20shawn$20milochik)
you'll get all the conversations I was involved in, which is, as far
as I know, all of them over the past four years.

The suggestion by Waldek Herka in one of those threads above works; I
just tested it. If anyone knows of any reason why it's a bad idea I'd
like to know.

About the asterisks, please checkout this link:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4306574/python-method-function-arguments-starting-with-asterisk-and-dual-asterisk

the difference between dict['key'] and dict.get('key', 'something') is that
the second doesn't raise a KeyError exception when 'key' isn't in the dict;
instead, it returns 'something'. this allows for shorter code. please
compare:

try:
max_retries = config['max_retries']
except KeyError:
max_retries = 10

versus

max_retries = config.get('max_retries', 10)

What is the difference between instance.title = attrs.get('title', instance.title) vs instance.title = attrs['title'] ?

[lamen]

Hello,

Not sure what the difference is in the usage of attrs 
I could not find the documentation for this although I'm sure it's going to 
be obvious after the fact.

Also, could someone tell me what the double asterisks mean in the line
return Comment(**attrs)
?

Is this some type of variable length parameter list?  How would 

return Comment(*attrs) 

and

 return Comment(attrs) 
 vs

be different?

Thank you!

class CommentSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
email = serializers.EmailField()
content = serializers.CharField(max_length=200)
created = serializers.DateTimeField()

def restore_object(self, attrs, instance=None):
if instance is not None:
instance.title = attrs['title']
instance.content = attrs['content']
instance.created = attrs['created']
return instance
return Comment(**attrs)

Re: Can anyone give me a suggestion or a recommendation as to how I can access the current user's username in the models.py?

[Hendrik Speidel]

Hi,

Accessing the request within models may be problematic ... E.g. when using a 
management command, there is no request.

However, it's doable:

-implement a middleware that takes the request or request.user and stores it in 
a thread local
-register this middleware in your settings
-in your model, you can now access the request/request.user by accessing the 
thread local variable

We have done stuff like that in some of our projects ... Works well
However, i consider it a bit of a hack...

Hope that helps

Best,
Hendrik

Date: Thu, Mar 14, 2013 19:59


Essentially, I'm just trying to make a simple email alert system. If anyone 
creates, modifies or deletes an entry in the admin back end, I'll receive 
an email as to which user did what to which model. I already figured out 
how to detect the 3 user actions mentioned above in the models.py as well 
as how to send email templates. The issue is that I need to the current 
user information to insert into that email template. And like I mentioned 
before, this is an admin back end, meaning I'm not touching the views.py at 
all. 

If there are any other ways to accomplish this, I'm all ears!

Thanks

Thanks! Do you know how to change the text displayed in the button?
It's displaying 'Choose File' and I want it to have something else.
Also once the user selects the file(s) how do I get the list of names

I didn't get any replies, so maybe I didn't ask my question well. What
I want to do it call the user's computer's file picker when the user
clicks on a button in my app. Does anyone know how to do this, or can
someone point me at some docs for doing this?

I disagree - the docs are very well written and work across platform.
There's no need for .deb specialisation.

Virtualenv is dead simple to use and incredibly helpful. The easiest
way to install/use it is:

$ pip install virtualenvwrapper
$ mkvirtualenv project
$ workon project

All pip installs from within that virtualenv will then be localised.

$ pip install Django
$ pip install South
$ pip install MySQL-python #(if you are using mysql)

It will all be contained within your virtualenv.

To conf with Apache, it's just a matter of pointing the server to the
wsgi file within your new project.

Unless there was a specific error message that was the problem, I
don't understand how the brand of linux you are using could affect the
deployment.

cheers

Perhaps a combination of signals and receivers would fit the bill? Models.py

Can anyone give me a suggestion or a recommendation as to how I can access the current user's username in the models.py?

[Simon Chan]

Essentially, I'm just trying to make a simple email alert system. If anyone 
creates, modifies or deletes an entry in the admin back end, I'll receive 
an email as to which user did what to which model. I already figured out 
how to detect the 3 user actions mentioned above in the models.py as well 
as how to send email templates. The issue is that I need to the current 
user information to insert into that email template. And like I mentioned 
before, this is an admin back end, meaning I'm not touching the views.py at 
all. 

If there are any other ways to accomplish this, I'm all ears!

Thanks

Re: Problems install/download Django 1.5

[breg]

Sorry can't find a message from you in this newsgroup with any virtualinv 
instructions.

Or do you mean this link?:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

This text _is_ detailed with regard to virtualenv, but the combination with 
apache/wsgi on debian would pose more questions. 

Apart from my question, it would really make sense to have Django install 
instructions for a debian/ubuntu server in the django docs.
This would lower the entrance hurdles to check out Django for many website 
admins.

Using django-devserver with Werzbeug to debug an app - interactive debugger not being trigged?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I'm trying to use django-devserver 
(https://github.com/dcramer/django-devserver) to debug localshop 
(https://github.com/mvantellingen/localshop), a Django-based Pypi server.

I've installed django-devserver and werzbeug.

I then added 'devserver' to INSTALLED_APPS, and have started it up:

(temp)Victors-MacBook-Air:code victorhooi$ localshop runserver --werkzeug
> Validating models...
> 0 errors found
> Django version 1.4.3, using settings 'localshop.settings'
> Running django-devserver 0.4.0
> Threaded werkzeug server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
> Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
>  * Running on http://127.0.0.1:8000/


I then try to access the view that triggers a 500 Internal Server Error (in 
this case from a file being in the wrong location).

On the console, I can see:

127.0.0.1 - - [14/Mar/2013 20:31:00] "GET /simple/yolk/ HTTP/1.1" 401 -

However, I don't seem to get any interactive prompt, or a debugger, or 
anything?

The server just keeps going, ready to receive the next request. Is 
something stopping the debugger from triggering here?

Looks good ... I think a demo with more items in it would be useful se we 
can see how page navigation works.  It also seems that there is no record 
count when you add a filter (eg. "displaying 5 of 20")?

Two questions:
* will there be guidlines for  customising fonts, colors etc. (the buttons 
are too big & bright right compared to the text)
* how easy is it to change template layout - e.g. I prefer filters on the 
right where they are out the way (preferable hidden by javascript, 
actually); also the elements seem to be scattered on the page and maybe 
they need to be "grouped" somehow (not a designer, just saying what I 
see...)

Re: Profiling django apps using Python 3? No hotspot module.

I use this and it's great. I haven't tried it with Python 3, but it's
all standard library stuff.

I tweaked mine a bit so it dumps the profile files to my temp folder
instead of the way it works by default. That's because I wanted to
profile AJAX calls, keep multiple runs for the same sites for A/B
comparisons, and because I don't have to know in advance I'm going to
want to profile something. I can always just look at the file for
anything I just did.

Re: Novice 101 here

[Shawn Milochik]

Download virtualenv and create a virtualenv by manually typing the
path to your Python 2.7 executable.

Something like this (path will probably be different on your Mac, type
"which python2.7" to find it:

/usr/bin/python2.7 virtualenv.py /home/user/my_virtualenv

Then activate your virtualenv:

source /home/user/my_virtualenv/bin/activate

Then you'll have your own Python environment just for this project.
You can install Django by just running "pip install django," plus any
other dependencies, without conflicts or requiring root access.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

You'll just have to activate that virtualenv each time before you
start working on your project or running your app.

Re: django templates and tex/latex

[Bill Freeman]

Note that you don't have to use the Django template engine to render things.

For one thing, if you found a less problematic templating engine, using it
as
well doesn't prevent you from using Django's template engine for other
pages.

You could also roll your own by coming up with, for example, a TeX friendly
syntax for variable substitution (by which I mean, doesn't collide with
syntax
that you will be using - best would be coming up with something that is
actually illegal in TeX), and process things with a big regex or had coded
parser..  You could parse this directly into the output, or this could be a
loading stage that converts the file to a Django template (or engine of your
choice) file, where the TeX/LaTeX stuff that looks like template specials is
converted to a quoted structure that renders as the original.

A final approach would be to use TeX definitions to perform your variable
substitutions, prepending a stanza that makes the definitions at render
time.  (Though making this work where you want template loops is much
harder.)

How best to cache a queryset of Comments?

[Phil Gyford]

I have a site that uses the standard Django Comments app (well, a subclass
of it, with not many changes) for comments on different content types.

I'd like to be able to cache a list of comments, as fetching the comments
is one of the most frequent and slowest queries that's happening at the
moment.

But I can't see the simplest way to perform this caching. (I'm already
using the per-site cache for logged-out users and per-view cache on a few
views, using memcache.)

At the moment the queryset comes from RenderCommentListNode's render()
method <
https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.5.x/django/contrib/comments/templatetags/comments.py#L200>
So I could subclass RenderCommentListNode, copy the render() method, and
add caching there... but it feels a bit clunky and hacky compared to most
customising I end up doing with Django these days... so is this the
best/only way?

Phil

Re: Problems install/download Django 1.5

[breg]

"Internal server error" - standard apache message.
But to clarify: when I take the syntax typos out, the poll admin backend 
works fine. 
So somehow just the "Debug = true" does not trigger the django error 
handler any more. 
This might be caused by my (failed) trials to "Install current Django on 
current Debian with current Python", see other thread.
So I dont want to bother you or the public with these issues. 
The virtual environment thread I will follow as soon as I find the time.

Profiling django apps using Python 3? No hotspot module.

[Thomas Weholt]

I've tried to find middleware for django or other methods of profiling
my django apps, but most of them seem to use the hotspot module and
since I use Python 3 and there's no hotspot module in Python 3 I was
wondering if anybody out there had a working profiler for django
compatible with Python 3?

If not I'll try to port one of the ones I've found but why re-invent the wheel?

Re: Asking for opinion about an Agile Web Framework Comparison

[SeS]

hi David, 

Very nice work, i appreciate how well it's structured and planned,
but term 'agile web frameworks' wonders me every time i saw it is used.
Isn't it true that 'agile' is a certain methodology, set of practices which 
might be applied to a many processes humans involved in,
including software development? Why agile should have any dependencies to 
any particular framework at all? 
What if we throw out all frameworks like they never been invented, should 
we then still use agile methodology? 
I believe yes. Particular tools or even application area to some extend 
transparent for methodology, so using word 'agile' in combination with 
'framework' just add some entropy and disorient,
let's social psychologists or marketing guys use it if they believe it can 
bring any additional attention to promoted tool, why we should support such 
term misusing.
Just my 2 cents.

regards,
Sergei

Yes, there is -- Django 1.4 introduced the "render" shortcut:

from django.shortcuts import render

def my_view(request):

return render(request, 'form.html', {'samovar': 1})

direct_to_template replacement for django 1.5?

[alex.v.ko...@gmail.com]

Hi,

In django 1.4 and prior the following shortcut has been found and used 
extensively:

---
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
def home(request):
return direct_to_template(request, 'form.html', {'somevar':1})
---

This is much shorter then to write full:
---
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404
from django.template import RequestContext
return render_to_response('form.html', RequestContext(request, 
{'somevar':1}))
---

Are there good shortcut for the same in Django 1.5? Or may be I should
use my own function for this?

Thanks.
