It's more of a nice-to-have for work. But yeah, it'll not be a very large
project.

Making a rather small web app, is Django right for it?

2021-05-24 Thread Devin Prater 
Hi all. I am a rather new Python learner, although I've made the following
script:

https://github.com/prater-devin/src/blob/main/lunch/lunch.py

I want to turn this into a central place where students can get not just
the lunch menu, but also other menus, upcoming events, things like that,
but not much more than that. So, in order to bypass the need for submitting
to the App Store because this isn't that big of an app, I decided to go
with web development instead. Since I already know Python, enough to make
that simple program at least, I thought I'd just use Django to make this.

Now, I've also tried using Beeware to make an actual app, and that seems
easy compared to getting started with Django, but I don't want to disregard
Django just because Beeware is easier. Plus Beeware doesn't seem to have
web app creation support yet. So, any ideas? How hard would it be to take
something like that simple code, probably for the backend more than
frontend, and enhance it, mainly adding more requests to a URL, then
getting text using BS4, then showing it on the app? I imagine tabs at the
bottom of the screen for "menus", "vending machines", and "events and
news." Stuff like that, then the main content in the middle, then buttons
at the top to change between menu sources on the menus tab and such. So,
not that much interaction I'd think. So, what do you all think? Thanks for
any help.

How do I construct a queryset for this complex query?

2012-05-19 Thread Devin 
I've got a complex query that uses a combination of Q objects and
qargs to produce the following query:

Note the T4 alias...this is central to the question.

SELECT
`t_answer`.`id`,
`t_answer`.`question_id`,
`t_answer`.`survey_id`,
`t_answer`.`content_type_id`,
`t_intanswer`.`answer_ptr_id`,
`t_intanswer`.`value`
FROM
`t_intanswer`
INNER JOIN `t_answer` ON (`t_intanswer`.`answer_ptr_id` =
`t_answer`.`id`)
INNER JOIN `t_survey` ON (`t_answer`.`survey_id` = `t_survey`.`id`)
INNER JOIN `t_answer` T4 ON (`t_survey`.`id` = T4.`survey_id`)
INNER JOIN `t_booleananswer` ON (T4.`id` =
`t_booleananswer`.`answer_ptr_id`)
INNER JOIN `t_choiceanswer` ON (T4.`id` =
`t_choiceanswer`.`answer_ptr_id`)
INNER JOIN `t_facility` ON (`t_survey`.`facility_id` =
`t_facility`.`id`)
WHERE
(
(
(`t_booleananswer`.`value` = True  AND T4.`question_id` =
1742) AND
(`t_choiceanswer`.`choice_id` = 1947  AND T4.`question_id` =
1743 )
) AND
`t_survey`.`public` = False  AND
`t_survey`.`facility_id` = 82  AND
`t_survey`.`doctor_id` = 124  AND
`t_answer`.`question_id` = 1753  AND
`t_facility`.`program_id` = 71  AND
`t_survey`.`completed` IS NOT NULL AND
`t_survey`.`flagged` = False  AND
`t_survey`.`completed` < '2012-05-20 00:00:00'  AND
`t_survey`.`completed` > '2012-05-18 00:00:00' )


I'm looking for a result that contains either a boolean or choice
answer, but I've used Django's model inheritance, and both tables are
trying to join through t_answer.

Only one t_answer row can be returned for this query, so I get back
zero results.  But I need one result.  Here is the modified query in
raw SQL that solves my problem.  I create a second FROM clause using
the alias T5, then I join choice on that.   Works great.


SELECT
`t_answer`.`id`,
`t_answer`.`question_id`,
`t_answer`.`survey_id`,
`t_answer`.`content_type_id`,
`t_intanswer`.`answer_ptr_id`,
`t_intanswer`.`value`
FROM
`t_intanswer`
INNER JOIN `t_answer` ON (`t_intanswer`.`answer_ptr_id` =
`t_answer`.`id`)
INNER JOIN `t_survey` ON (`t_answer`.`survey_id` = `t_survey`.`id`)
INNER JOIN `t_answer` T4 ON (`t_survey`.`id` = T4.`survey_id`)
INNER JOIN `t_answer` T5 ON (`t_survey`.`id` = T5.`survey_id`)
INNER JOIN `t_booleananswer` ON (T4.`id` =
`t_booleananswer`.`answer_ptr_id`)
INNER JOIN `t_choiceanswer` ON (T5.`id` =
`t_choiceanswer`.`answer_ptr_id`)
INNER JOIN `t_facility` ON (`t_survey`.`facility_id` =
`t_facility`.`id`)
WHERE
(
(
(`t_booleananswer`.`value` = True  AND T4.`question_id` =
1742) AND
(`t_choiceanswer`.`choice_id` = 1947  AND T5.`question_id` =
1743 )
) AND
`t_survey`.`public` = False  AND
`t_survey`.`facility_id` = 82  AND

Cool...so I have my solution---except that I don't know how to
construct it using the Django queryset.  I looked at "extra" (https://
docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/models/querysets/#extra) but I'm not
clear on how to use it accomplish my second INNER JOIN T5.

Any thoughts experts?  Thanks

Thanks everyone, I tried using some signal handlers but it wasn't

have it working.

Re: Using a non-DB backend

2010-10-15 Thread Devin M 
For more than one database it seems that you are able to do it
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/multi-db/.
You could implement your device functions inside something like
myproject.device.functions if your not working with alot of data.
Or you can implement that in the database handler.

Devin M

Re: use django authentication for non-django pages

2010-10-15 Thread Devin M 
You could use a template in django if your only serving some static
html. Otherwise if its php or something, make a template and restrict
it to admin and have the view render the php and spit it out to the
page context.

Re: Using a non-DB backend

2010-10-15 Thread Devin M 
Hello,
It looks like you want a custom database backend. On
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/?from=olddocs#engine
they say
"You can use a database backend that doesn't ship with Django by
setting ENGINE to a fully-qualified path (i.e.
mypackage.backends.whatever). Writing a whole new database backend
from scratch is left as an exercise to the reader; see the other
backends for examples."
So i suppose you can look to the other backends for examples.

This is the response from them that seems most helpful.

"all you need is a column that is guaranteed to be unique for every

be happy."

Re: Pagination with bound form

2010-10-15 Thread Devin M 
So you have a page number thats getting passed from a url, right? and
then you want to display records based on that page number? you could
do something like this:
urls.py
(r'^page/(?P\d+)/$', 'data.views.pagelisting'),

views.py
def pagelisting(request, page_number):
records = range(page_number + 10)
data_list = Data.objects.filter(pk=records)
return render_to_response('list.html', {"formset": formset})

template list.html
{% if formset %}

{% for data in formset %}
{{ data.text }}
{% endfor %}

{% else %}
No data is available.
{% endif %}

Might not be 100 percent on the code but i hope it helps.

I think this would work because you can see them using an array in

Here is my code:
class Album(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
date = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
desc = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
comments = models.BooleanField()
published = models.BooleanField(default=True)
tags = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' % (self.title)

class Photo(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200, default='Untitled Photo')
album = models.ForeignKey(Album, blank=True, null=True)
desc = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
date = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
comments = models.BooleanField()
published = models.BooleanField(default=True)
tags = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True)
thumb_photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='thumb_images',
blank=True, null=True)
large_photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='large_images',
blank=True, null=True)
original_photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='original_images',
blank=True, null=True)
def makeimages(self):
(dirName, fileName) = os.path.split(self.original_photo.path)
(fileBaseName, fileExtension)=os.path.splitext(fileName)

#Save the thumbnail
thumb_width = 300
thumb_height = 300
thumb = Image.open(self.original_photo.path)
thumb.resize((thumb_width,thumb_height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
thumb_path = "/tmp/" + str(fileBaseName) + "_thumb.jpg"
thumb.save(thumb_path, "JPEG")
thumb_img_file = open(thumb_path, 'r')
thumb_file = File(thumb_img_file)
self.thumb_photo.save(str(fileBaseName) + '_thumb.jpg',
thumb_file, save=True)
thumb_img_file.close()

#Save the large
large_width = 1024
large_height = 768
large = Image.open(self.original_photo.path)
large.resize((large_width,large_height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
large_path = "/tmp/" + str(fileBaseName) + "_large.jpg"
large.save(thumb_path, "JPEG")
large_img_file = open(thumb_path, 'r')
large_file = File(thumb_img_file)
self.thumb_photo.save(str(fileBaseName) + '_large.jpg',
large_file, save=True)
large_img_file.close()

post_save.connect(makeimages)

The only problem i have with this code is that it runs every save. So
it creates a infinite loop of sorts and I dont know how to make it
perform this action once. Is there another signal I should use? Any
ideas?

Re: HttpResponse post

2009-02-20 Thread Devin 

I have no problem pulling pages using httplib if the pages do not
require authentication.  But now I want to pull pages only after
authenticating.  Access is enforced by the contributed auth package.

import httplib, urllib
params = urllib.urlencode({'this_is_the_login_form':1,'username':
'myuser', 'password': 'test'})
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"Accept": "text/plain"}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("myserver")
conn.request("POST", "/login/", params, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason

As I said, when hitting pages that do not require auth, I am
successful and get a 200 response code.  But when auth is needed, I
get 302 for the code and "found" for the status.

Any insights?

Just switched to trunk - Special unicode handling is making me less than happy

2008-06-21 Thread Devin Venable 
I'm having to add calls that look like this to my code so that stuff doesn't
blow up when passing model strings to other libraries:

oldsteadylib.func( smart_str(str) )  # forcing unicode back to bytestring

Ouch.  Ugly.  Reminds me of the bad old days of working with strings in
C++.

>From what I read, in Python 3, the default character encoding will be UTF-8
and this should obviate the need for writing conversions and using other
ugly syntax to differentiate between string encodings.  In the meantime, is
there a configuration setting that I can use to disable unicode for django
until I want to deal with special unicode syntax, if ever?

I've also read that you can change your system wide encoding from ASCII to
UTF-8 by changing the setencoding() in /usr/lib/python2.5/site.py.  Would
anyone recommend this approach?  Again, my goal is to keep the strings in my
code clean from special conversions.

static css/js links from templates residing in nested directories

2008-06-12 Thread Devin Venable 

I've just started using template inheritance (nice) and I have some
include files that I've placed in a common base.  These are things you
would see in the head of an html file like css and js files, for
example:



The files are statically served by Apache. All is working well, except
some of my templates are in different folders in a directory
structure.

f1
template1.html
|_f2
  |template2.html
  |template3.html

When the pages are rendered, the media directory is rooted at the
subfolder instead of the root folder.  Therefore the css and js files
are not detected unless the templates reside at root.  One solution
would be to serve all templates out of the top directory.  But of
course I don't want to do that.  Another solution would be to provide
a complete URI in the src tag:

http://mytestsite/js/mootools/mootools.svn.js&quot</a>;
type="text/javascript">

But I don't want to do that either.

Yet another solution is to provide a different relative path depending
on which directory my page is served from.





Perhaps there is a template tag that allows something like this?


I see the MEDIA_URL variable in settings.py, however this doesn't seem
to be relevant here, thought there is not much in the documentation
about this.

Any ideas?  Did I miss the obvious solution?
