Re: I need a django application to embed a chat javascript in admin site

[francescortiz]

Implementing a simple global chat is pretty straightforward:

1- Don't use database
2- Implement filesystem based locking (multithread safe)
3- if there user wrote a new line, acquire lock and append the new line to 
the file.
4- releaase lock
5- send the last lines to the users. I recommend you to make a system call 
to "tail -n ??? [filename]", but you can implement you own last lines 
reading algorithm, much harder than it appears because you have stay 
friendly with kernel's readahead and disk cache.

You can have your chat log file in any format that fits you, (html, json, 
etc).

Then, for user based chat, just make the chatlog named after 
[user1]-[user2].chatlog, having user1 and user2 sorted alfabetically.

The hardest part is all the html an javascript needed, specially in 
multiuser chat, because you have to handle list of users and window opening.

Re: Model reversion

[francescortiz]

Json and difflib won't work well together, unless you make a diff per 
field, which will add overhead. Look at 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4599456/textually-diffing-json

Reverting is returning to a previous state. Just run all diffs from the 
first commit until you reach the desired state.

It would be great that it showed side by side the older an newer values of 
each field in a table view and let you choose what you want to revert. 
Maybe text fields on the left, values on the right and a copy button on 
each side.

Don't forget about foreign keys. A reversion might imply restoring a 
deleted item.

You have to make sure that the javascript code that populates the second

Re: Customizing Django Admin Site

[francescortiz]

You can create pseudo fields in the admin

class CarAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin)
list_display = ('name','custom_field')
def custom_field(srlf, obj):
return mark_safe('http://www.google.com";>Link')
custom_field.short_description = 'Link to Google'
custom_field.allow_tags = True

I am not sure if this is what you look for, and I am not sure if allow_tags 
is needed

Re: Instalación en centOs 6.2

[francescortiz]

Para centos debes seguir los mismos pasos que en cualquier otro lugar. 
Apache con fastcgi, o con wcgi, o nginx, o lighttpd, o cherokee... tu 
mismo. Hay guias por todos lados. Solo debes tener en cuenta que 
dependiendo del servidor que escojas, tu eres responsable de rearrancar las 
instancias de django cuando se reinicia el servidor.

También te recomiendo que mires el tema del los virtual envs, porqué sale 
una versión de django más o menos cada año i poco, y no te interesa tener 
que revisar todos los sitios antiguos cuando actualizes el sistema y te 
suba la versión de django. Es mejor que cada instancia de django use su 
propia versión de django y sus propias librerias.

Re: Compare List

[francescortiz]

If I am not mistaken, the same way that you would construct a SQL query 
like 

SELECT * FROM table1 t1
INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t2.t1_id = t1.id
INNER JOIN table3 t3 on t2.t3_id = t3.id
WHERE t3.id = '1'
AND t3.id = '2'
AND t3.id = '3'
AND t3.id = '4'
AND t3.id = '5'

(many AND t3.id = 'X')

you will have to set many Q instances or many filters, one for each id.

also, I believe that if you use Q instances only with & operations, you can 
just use filter and forget about Q.

Re: A problem with a solution, but is it the right one?

[francescortiz]

I would pass bound data instead of calling from_request:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/api/#ref-forms-api-bound-unbound

This way you don't have to worry about forms logic, but just about
filling the default data.

You can place the static files in the public html directory via

exist.

Re: Using STATIC_URL in CSS/JS files?

[francescortiz]

The only case in which you can have issues with double brackets is
when a '{{' appears in the same line and before than a '}}'.

If you are sending a 2mb json on every action and there are only about

Re: Internationalization and localization

[francescortiz]

I always create multilingual sites. What I do is inspired by django-
modeltranslation, but I find awkward that it leaves a "default"
language field and I prefer to have all my fields defined inside my
models.

1. Create a field for each language and a function that returns the
field corresponding to the client language:

class MyModel(models.Model):
title_ca = models.CharField(max_length=255)
title_en = models.CharField(max_length=255)
title_es = models.CharField(max_length=255)
def title(self):
return getattr(self, 'title_%s' % get_language())

2. In templates call the fuction that detects the language:
{{object.title}}

2. Then, urls.py looks like this:
   (r'^$', 'home'),
(r'^(?P\w{2})/$', 'home'),

3. And views.py:

from myapp.utils import enable_language

def home(request, language=None):

# We don't want urls without language prefix in order to prevent
duplicate content
if language is None:
return
HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('isaweb.views.home',kwargs={'language':get_language()})
 )

enable_language(request, language)

return render_to_response('home.html',
{},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

4. This goes into utils.py:

def enable_language(request, language):
# Language only gets updated if it changed or is not set.
try:
if request.session['django_language'] != language:
request.session['django_language'] = language
translation.activate(language)
request.LANGUAGE_CODE = translation.get_language()
except KeyError:
request.session['django_language'] = language
translation.activate(language)
request.LANGUAGE_CODE = translation.get_language()

django e-commerce logic

[francescortiz]

I've been looking around for django commerce sollutions for a while
and they all seem to work with predefined database models. For
instance, you always have a name field and a slug field that come with
the product. While this could seem fine if you are creating a store
form scratch, it makes it very uncomfortable if you already have a
model structure on a site and you just want to start selling one of
your models.

What I would feel more comfortable is to add a commerce layer to the
site and tell this layer how to obtain the product information, client
information, etc, or fallback to provided defaults, so it can fit in
any existing project without having to run data migrations of any
kind.

Do you know any django commerce that works like this?

Re: Need help for using easy_thumbnails

[francescortiz]

I wrote a thumbnailing app myself:

https://github.com/francescortiz/image

The main advantages of this are:
- You set the center of attention for images through the admin
section. This way, when you crop your image it looks properly aligned,
whatever crop you do. This is the reason why I created it.
- Video thumbnails through ffmpeg
- Cached images can be exposed to public http docs, so you can have
rewrite rules to skip django when serving them.

Also:
- maks
- overlays
- thumbnails from urls (i.e: handle thumbnails for youtube videos)

Re: Maintain server-initiated FTP connection between client requests?

[francescortiz]

You will have to create a connection pool as a resident thread.
Briefly, a connection pool will take care of:
- Create a new connection if there is no connection available.
- Reuse a connection if possible.
- Remove connections that are no longer being used or that commanded
to close.

Then, your code will have have to communicate with the connection
pool. Example code:

# The connection_pool is smart enough to reuse a connection if it is
in the pool
ftp_connection = connection_pool.get_connection(server, user, pass)

current_dir = ftp_connection.getcwd()
dir_contents = ftp_connection.ls()
ftp_connection.rm(file)


You have a similar implementation here:
http://forum.codecall.net/python-tutorials/41844-object-pooling-python.html

Re: Google AppEngine vs. dedicated hosting (Pros/cons)

[francescortiz]

Hi,

I have dedicated server sites and django hosting sites. Personally, I
prefer that someone else takes care of the server and focus myself on
development. So, unless you need to use a lot of resources for some
reason, dedicated django hostings are ok to me.

About google apps, I never used it.

Regards,

Francesc

Re: How to use less css in mac?

[francescortiz]

For the javascript part, the last thing they say before the footer in
lesscss.org is that you can embed javascript variables inside the css:

It is also possible to access the JavaScript environment:

@height: `document.body.clientHeight`;

I don't know how they handle it, but I don't find appropiate to mix
css and javascript.

And about being based on an older version of sass, i didn't use the
appropiate words. What I meant is that less was written because by
that time sass wasn't css compatible, but now the sass people created
scss, which is fully css compatible.

So, since the motivation that pushed the less people to create the
language (sass not being css compatible) does not apply today and
since they mix css and javascript, I find a more interesting option to
uses scss.

Regards,

Francesc

Re: How to use less css in mac?

[francescortiz]

LESS combines CSS and javascript which I think that goes beyond the
safe line, so I vote for SCSS ( http://sass-lang.com/ ) that also has
a python version ( http://github.com/Kronuz/pyScss ).

LESS is based on an "older" version of SCSS that didn't follow CSS
syntax (SASS).

Re: registering unzipped files on the local disk

[francescortiz]

Well, I run the test:

code used:

http://pastebin.com/9FNT82ym

results (second result is stream copy):

$ python2 cp.py
8.55721712112
5.28589200974

$ python2 cp.py
8.5057990551
6.55976104736

$ python2 cp.py
6.88285589218
8.86908006668

$ python2 cp.py
5.8047721386
8.57982397079

$ python2 cp.py
8.38824915886
7.2968108654

$ python2 cp.py
5.52904415131
5.24869608879

$ python2 cp.py
7.50472903252
7.09118294716

So, stream copy seams to faster most of the times, what allows us to
conclude that it is fine to use stream copy.

Re: registering unzipped files on the local disk

[francescortiz]

Faheem,

In your post you write:

"This works, but I traced through the code, and found that the code
was using streaming, when clearly the optimal thing to do in this case
would be to just copy the file from the temporary location to the
permanent location"

In java copying files is performed by redericting data from a file
input stream to a file ouput stream, so your sentence sounded to me
like "Instead of copying a file I want to just copy a file" :P

Though I am no python expert, I suspect that using streams in python
is fine as well.

You could do some performance tests of stream copy vs copyfile
function in python. If you do, please share results!

Hope I help,

Francesc

Re: headcut

[francescortiz]

Cal,

Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it. I will be
implementing what you say as soon as I can. Everything you said was
pretty clear except the part from including a RequestContext. Where is
the RequestContext missing?

Also, about using a template instead of embedding HTML in the code, I
don't think I will be doing that unless it comes to be necessary (or
someone demands that), in order to save some function calls, like they
do in django widgets source code (if I didn't guess wrongly why they
do it this way).

Your comments are great. I will be fixing the race condition this next
week, and the rest of what you comment ASAP.

Regards,

Francesc

headcut

[francescortiz]

Hi,

I developed a django app and I would like to know what you think about
it. I am relatively new to python and django so I expect more
criticism than enything else.

Description:
Django application that provides resizing and thumbnailing for images
and videos with the ability to set the center of attention, heads
won't get cut anymore.

Link:
https://github.com/francescortiz/image

I am thinking of calling it "django-headcut"

Thank you,

Francesc
