User.objects.create_superuser is your friend.

Maybe try instead:

user=User.objects.create_superuser(
username=form.cleaned_data['username'],
    password=form.cleaned_data['password1'],
    email=form.cleaned_data['email'],
)

A web application framework is a software framework that is designed
to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications and
web services. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated
with common activities performed in Web development. For example, many
frameworks provide libraries for database access, templating
frameworks and session management, and they often promote code reuse.
(Source: Wikipedia)

Django provides libraries for database access, a custom template
language, forms, sessions and loves the DRY-principle. Other batteries
included. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/#other-batteries-included

It is also incredibly easy to extend Django's capabilities by
writing/reusing apps for your Django project.

Probably; but that is like if you were to ride a monstrous and untamed
Warhorse, having this cute and little pony which can already do a 100

These are the valid input formats:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/#django.forms.DateTimeField.input_formats

Check if they look like the sting you are feeding your form input with.

If you still keep getting validation errors, it would be nice if you
could attach the stack trace in a reply to this mail.

What's the problem with the DateTimeField in a model?

> Can someone show me a small example of using ModelForm with DateTime field?
> How can can the DateTime field me displayed in django templates?

in your models.py:

class Foo(models.Model):
datetime = models.DateTimeField()

class FooForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Foo


in your views.py:

def bar(request):
form = FooForm()
return render_to_response("bar.html", {"form": form})


in template bar.html:

{{ foo }}


There's absolutely nothing special here :) .

Re: Best practice for async task in django?

2011-05-06 Thread Kenny Meyer 
Look at the Celery project ( http://celeryproject.org/ ) to be sure it
fits your needs. You can easily integrate with Django by using
https://github.com/ask/django-celery .

You could also use a signal, listening for a request_finished, which
will run the task inside a Thread. Here's a concrete example of that:

I think you should handle this in the view, like checking there if the

def show_submissions(participant):
submissions = Submission.objects.get(participant=participant)

A TemplateSyntaxError gets raised, which I interpret as "I don't find

Observations:

Any ideas why I cannot use this inclusion tag?

Try a quick google search with terms like "django  has no ForeignKey to " and you'll get a bunch of results. I promise.

Here's only one of those results:

AFAICS this issue has been discussed various times here on this

Actually this *doesn't* work most of the time for me, because the

Checking for user type in view

2011-04-24 Thread Kenny Meyer 
Hello guys,

In my application models I have two models, Judge and Participant:

  from django.contrib.auth.models import User

  class Judge(User):
  pass

  class Participant(User):
  pass

In my view I want to find out if the authenticated user is either a
Judge or a Participant. How can I do that?


I have done the following, and it works most of the time for me:

def index(request):
user = request.user
if user.is_authenticated():
if user.is_superuser:
return redirect('/admin')

judge = None
participant = None
competition = None
try:
participant = user.participant or None
judge = user.judge or None
if participant:
competition = participant.competition
if judge:
competition = judge.competition
except Participant.DoesNotExist, e:
pass
except Judge.DoesNotExist, e:
pass
except Exception, e:
raise
# Do some more stuff...

But this is ugly. It would be cool if you could come up with better ideas.

Check out what the __unicode__() method is all about:

I think you will mostly get subjective comments and not good answers
on your question. Best thing is to try them both, and go with the one
you feel most comfortable with.

I will vouch for Django, but again, that's totally subjective, and a
pretty bad question on the Django mailing list. :)
Do a google search like "Ruby vs Django site:stackoverflow.com" and
you can get some quick results.

Ok, this is my error. Creating a flashcard was actually this:

   FlashCard(front="front side", back="back side", user)

then it worked, and so I could also create a Practice object.

Create a ContentType object on model save

2010-11-08 Thread Kenny Meyer 
Hello,

I have two models, 1) FlashCard and 2) Practice, and I have a generic relation
in the FlashCard model pointing to the Practice model using the contenttypes
framework.
The Practice model tracks information like how many times something was
practiced, and calculates an `easy factor'.
Each time I save a FlashCard I want at the same time to create Practice
object for the flashcard, automatically.


class Practice(models.Model):
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
item = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')

user = models.ForeignKey(User)


class FlashCard(models.Model):
"""
A basic Flashcard.

Has a front and a back view.
"""
front = models.TextField(
max_length = 255,
verbose_name = "Front")
back = models.TextField(
max_length = 255,
verbose_name = "Back")
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
practice = generic.GenericRelation(Practice)


I read the contenttypes documentation, and as far as I understand to create a
related Practice object for a flashcard instance I should do the following:

>>> user = User.objects.get(username="kenny")
# Create a sample flashcard
>>> flashcard = ("bla", "bla", user)
# ...and create a Practice object for it
>>> new_practice = Practice(item=flashcard)
# then I try to save it, but that fails with a large backtrace
>>> new_practice.save()
[snip]

Here the actual backtrace: http://dpaste.com/hold/272617/


Well, but this is not the reason I opened this thread. Still I want to create
Practice object for my FlashCard object.

I started a research on Google, but I really haven't found anything really
helping me to do that.

Can you guys give me a helping hand on this with your expertise, please?

Additional information about my environment:
  - Django 1.2.3
  - PostgreSQL 8.4.5

Hi,

Have you already taken a look at CNPROG [1]? It looks very similar to Stack
Overflow, but beware that similar does *not* mean the *same*.

Actually, you could cherry-pick all the modules you'd like to have in your app
and mix them together.

Russ, 

I give in, my comment was very out of place.

I did not mean to offend neither to treat you (Wilmer) like crap and I'm
sorry for causing unnecessary trouble; I will try being solely focused on
the topic itself next time.

Hey Wilmer :)

First of all I must criticize your attempt to ask a simple question.
Ever heard of using a meaningful subject [1]_, or how to ask *smart
questions* [2]_? Your style honestly sucks and is painful to read.=20
Period.

Back to topic:
Using a ManyToManyField in the Django's model class is not possible
AFAIK, but by writing a little Python function you can easily handly
this.

Take the following example:

class Book(models.Model):
...
authors =3D models.ManyToManyField(Author)
...

def get_authors(self):
return self.authors.all()

class Admin:
list_display =3D ('get_authors')

This is pretty self-explanatory and not tested, but should work.

> Hi everyone..i'm new in this group...my friends says this is one of
> the best groups...
They're certainly right your friends. ;)

Hope I could help,
Kenny

Tom, that makes absolute sense.

I'll take back, what I said earlier in this thread. [1]_

.. [1] I think it's essential that you keep the views.py, when you're not
running a personalized fork of Django and writing reusable apps. ;)

Hi wiiboy,

You mean having more than one module for your views?

> a. There's any problems with that
Since it's all Python I don't think there should be any problems with
that.

I would probably have an app tree structure like this:

test_app/
|-- __init__.py
|-- models.py
|-- tests.py
|-- view
|   |-- __init__.py
|   |-- blog_form_view.py
|   `-- blog_view.py
`-- views.py

Where my views.py simply imports the views in the ``view`` folder. 
I think it's essential that you keep the views.py, when you're not
running a personalized fork of Django and writing reusable apps. ;)

> b. many people do it.
AFAIK I don't know many Django developers who do that (if any). But why
not do it?

Large views modules can be quite readable and browseable if your
editor supports intelligent code folding.

Correct me if I got something wrong.

Kenny

Hi,

The traceback probably says it all:
> File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py",
> line 42, in load_middleware
> raise exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured, 'Error importing middleware
> %s: "%s"' % (mw_module, e)

You're trying to import a Middleware class which doesn't exist.
Compare your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES with this working example:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( 
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
)

Hope this helps.

Django 1.1 - Restart required for after creating and saving object for viewing it

2010-01-26 Thread Kenny Meyer 
Hello,

Problem:

 
I basically have a blog with a ``Post`` model, representing each post of
the blog. Now if I create an object, save it and want to view it I get
a 404 Error with Django saying "No post found for".
This like this until I restart the development server (actually when
deploying the same pattern occurs).

Here's the code:

# blog/models.py:

class Post(models.Model):

[snip]

def save(self, force_insert=True, force_update=False, *args, **kwargs):
[snip]
super(Post, self).save(force_insert, force_update, *args, **kwargs)
# For debugging:
print Post.objects.all()
# After creating a sample post it *actually* returns a list with
# the newly created and saved object. That's the strange thing.

# blog/views.py

[snip]

post_info_dict = {
'queryset': Post.objects.all(),
'date_field': 'date',
}

urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^(?P\d{4})/(?P\d{2})/(?P\d{2})/(?P[-\w]+)/$',
'django.views.generic.date_based.object_detail',
dict(post_info_dict, month_format = "%m"),),
[snip]

Troubleshooting:


Well I actually browsed the Post list (without restarting the
development server
I've also passed 'force_insert=True' with the save() function, but
doesn't affect the behaviour in any way appearently.
I could have debugged some SQL debugging, but I'm unfortunately not
very experienced with that.

I hoped that you could tell me what I'm doing wrong. I hope I'm being
detailed, if not, please request me for more info or ask.

By that I mean, Django creating the link to the Syndication feed
automatically in the '' section of my template, which is wrong.
I now understand that.

So I've created a reference to the feed in my template and it's
working. :) Now I only have to check how to reverse lookup the feed to
not write static code.

Thanks for your help and time, Gonzalo.

Feed not available - Syndication - Django 1.1.1

2010-01-22 Thread Kenny Meyer 
Hi guys,

I'm trying to generate some feeds for my blog with Django's high-level
Syndication Framework. 
My problem is, when browsing to the URL defined in the ``link``
attribute of the ``syndication.Feed`` model, there's no Feed
generated/displayed.

If not clear what I'm trying to say, please read details on the bottom
of this message.

Here's my code:

apps/blog/feeds.py:

from django.contrib.syndication.feeds import Feed
from blog.models import Post

class LatestPosts(Feed):
"""Returns a Feed object with the 5 latest blog posts"""
link = "/blog/"
title = "Latest Blog Posts"
description = "Latest blog posts from the Paraguayan Geek."

def items(self):
return Post.objects.order_by('-date')[:5]

apps/blog/urls.py: [shortened]

feeds = {
'latest': LatestPosts,
}

urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
(r'^feeds/(?P.*)/$', 'django.contrib.syndication.views.feed',
   {'feed_dict': feeds},)
)

---
OBSERVATION
---

I access the feed with http://localhost:8000/blog/feeds/latest/ and it
works just fine. Displays the latest articles with title and
description.

---
PROBLEM
---

Now as mention earlier, when browsing to http://localhost:8000/blog/
there's no option for subscribing to the feed.
I've compared a lot of configurations and I cannot see the problem.

Please help me out on this one, please.

Re: how relate webpage with databse in my harddisk?

2010-01-06 Thread Kenny Meyer 
> How other can access pages i generated with django?
You mean how others can access pages which Django generated *for you*.
If you're connected with computers in a home network they can see your
work with a webbrowser, knowing the IP address of the Pc which is
serving the Django "pages". Usually this is :8000 if
you're using Django's development server.
If you want to deploy it on a web server, read this:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/

Through a webbrowser.
> I would like to connect to generated html pages through internet [..]
Redirect traffic from your router which is incoming on port 80 to your
local machine to any port on which your webserver is running. Now that's
a very brief how-to. Google is your friend.

I've done as you said, and yes, I successfully browse all modules when
running `manage.py shell`, but because I was using directly using
Python, I received just the limited output.

Thanks for the explanation.

Regards,
Kenny

Hi Frank,

Well that's strange... I don't get similar output, but see it yourself:

>>> import django
>>> dir(django)
['VERSION', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__',
'__package__', '__path__', 'get_version']

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and installed django with `aptitude` named
`python-django`.

Regards,
Kenny

Browsing Django modules from interactive python shell

2009-12-02 Thread Kenny Meyer 
Hi guys,

I have some strange behaviour in my interactive python shell, when
trying to browse Django modules...

Example:

>>> import django
>>> dir(django.core)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'core'

>>> import django.core
>>> dir(django.core)
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__',
'__path__']

Can anyone, please, explain me this strange (to me) behaviour?

Regards,
Kenny
