Re: How to update old data with new data everyday from a scraper

[Adib Neymar Jr.]

Interesting, is there a way to peek for an existing record instead of 
calling get to see whether the record exists in the database? I'm thinking 
of making this snippet of code a bit more efficient

try:
   obj = Hackathon.objects.get(**each_dict)
except Hackathon.DoesNotExist:
   obj = Hackathon(**each_dict)
   obj.save()

How to update old data with new data everyday from a scraper

[Adib Neymar Jr.]

Hello,

What is a good way to compare new data with old data which is updated
everyday with Django ORM? Basically I have a scraper which fetches
hackathons everyday (basically just a celery task) and I want the newest to
be unioned it with my master database which has the latest fetched
hackathons from yesterday. I don't want to destroy my master database and
then just upload everything that I just fetched since that seems wasteful.
This is my strategy in approaching my problem but I am open to hear other
options as well.


Thanks,



Adib

Re: Tutorial Part 1

[Luqman Jr]

Hello
Did you create urls.py under polls app?
You should have urls.py under polls app which will list all urls fall under 
this app.
Then share with us polls/urls.py and polls/views.py so that we can help more on 
this.

Running into a "Cannot assign... must be a ...instance" error

[Joey Jo Jo Jr]

New to Django.

I'm trying to set up a simple comment form where I can add a title for the 
comment, content of the comment, and attach the username of the user that 
is currently signed in and posting it.

I run into the following error when running it:

Cannot assign "'john'": "Entry.author" must be a "User" instance.


 I think I understand what's happening here, however I'm having a hard time 
figuring out how to implement it properly.


*Here's my model code:*


class Entry(models.Model):

title = models.CharField(max_length=60)

content = models.TextField(max_length=500)

author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)



def __str__(self):

return f"{self.id}"


*Here's my view code:*


@login_required

def add(request):

if request.method == "POST":

entry = Entry(

title = request.POST["title"],

content = request.POST["content"],

author = request.POST["username"]

)


entry.save()


return render(request, "articles/index.html", {

"entries": Entry.objects.all()

})


else:

return render(request, "articles/add.html", {

"username": request.user

})


*And here's my form code in my template:*


{% block body %}

New Entry



{% csrf_token %}




Title:







Content:



Content goes here










{% endblock %}

New to Django. Trying to wrap my head around markdown to html conversion using regex

[Joey Jo Jo Jr]

Hello all,

I'm working on a class assignment, so I'm not seeking a specific 
answer/code, but I'm just trying to figure out a general process.

The task is this...

I have some markdown files located in a directory, however when running the 
website they need to be displayed as html.  Because this is a learning 
assignment, no markdown conversion libraries are allowed.

So I'm tasked with using regular expressions to convert.  I understand 
regular expressions and have already formulated a few to change things like 
**text** to text and so on, but being so new to Django and 
still figuring out how it works, I'm just completely flummoxed on the 
execution/implementation.

So any general advice would be appreciated.

Re: log out a user when user closes tab or browser

How about on `window.onbeforeunload` you delete the session id from the cookie, 
on next visit no session id to send so should be considered logged-out.

Re: URL Concatenation Issue

[John Regis, Jr.]

In blog/urls.py I have my my homepage mapped to my view.index. Are you
saying to also map view.about as well? Also, when you say namespace are you
saying to create a dictionary and include my index (blog) and about pages
as values? New to Python so I'm trying to still wrap my head around the
utilization of python dictionaries.

Not Found "/lobby/" django-channels routing error

[Mike Johnson Jr]

routing.py

from channels import include, route
from chat import consumers
from . import game_consumers

channel_routing = [
#game routing
route('websocket.connect', game_consumers.ws_connect_lobby, 
path=r"^/lobby/$"),
route('websocket.receive', game_consumers.ws_receive_lobby, 
path=r"^/lobby/$"),
route('websocket.disconnect', game_consumers.ws_disconnect_lobby, 
path=r"^/lobby/$"),

app.js

Websocket = {
lobby_socket: null,
setup_ws_lobby : function(){
Websocket.lobby_socket = new ReconnectingWebSocket(Websocket.ws_scheme 
+ '://' + window.location.host + '/lobby/');
Websocket.lobby_socket.onmessage = function(message) {
//nothing yet
};
},
}
Websocket.setup_ws_lobby();

The url is `127.0.0.1:8000/game`. `Websocket.setup_ws_lobby()` is executed 
on page load. I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I get the error `Not Found: 
/lobby/` in my `python manage.py runserver` console when I load the page. 
My routes are clearly set and my js setup seems to route to those routes. 
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Re: Installing Django

[Danny Jr Chu]

I will consider your professional advise Antonis. However, what I would 
like to build is a (1st) freelancer website (upwork or like), I know that 
there are hundreds of these right now, but with a subtle twist and to offer 
both client and contractor something more, it may be feasible. (2nd) I fail 
to find Angel Investor so I have to cut cost everything to the rock bottom, 
I have a lot of time available to study and (plus motivation of course) and 
(3nd) I've done number of websites with blogspot (but plugins are paid 
monthly). So, I was thinking to do it myself the backbone with Django. 
Please tell me more what I should have know to bring this project to life.

Re: Installing Django

[Danny Jr Chu]

Hi Antonis, 

No I have not yet tried wordpress, but the answer is budget wise. I would 
think that after these exercises, I am just going to pay (I think) the 
domain and hosting only.

Danny

Re: Django Suit admin panel - Static files configuration Django 1.6 not working

[Roger Lanoue jr]

I am rebuilding a new server from scratch now. 

New IP: Same setup with new IP from Digital Ocean 1click install - 

http://162.243.58.204/

I am going to try and setup the Static files directory again. 

Since they are using Django 1.6 and the command makemigration and migrate 
are not in 1.6
Should i start using Django 1.8 or 1.9 before configuring the server?

Django suit and Static files not working in Django 1.6

[Roger Lanoue jr]

Hello All.

I learning my first Django experience and I am making some headway. I am 
stuck on my test server and Django suit admin. 

I my goal is to get the new admin from Django suit to work.

*Server setup*
Ubuntu 14.04 ( A Digital Ocean VPS with one click install ) 
Django Version 1.6
Python: 2.7
Nginx
Postgres

*Test server *
http://162.243.201.237/

*Admin (with django suit installed ) *
http://django-suit.readthedocs.io/en/develop/
http://162.243.201.237/admin/

User: Demo
password: Demo

The css is being applied to the djando suit .

*Ran command:*
python manage.py collectstatic

Results: 0 static files copied, 116 unmodified.


*My setting.py basics*

DEBUG = False 

TEMPLATE_DEBUG = False

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
'/home/django/django_project/static/',

When I look in to the static directory. nothing had been copied. 

Thank your for taking time to look at this and also sharing with me any 
clues on how to fix this.

Roger

Django Suit admin panel - Static files configuration Django 1.6 not working

[Roger Lanoue jr]

Hi Django users group.

I am test and learning django out. I have a testing server and got my test 
page up. 

Started to play with the Django suit control panel and ran in to some 
problems with my setup.

*Server: Digital Ocean one click install.*
Ubuntu 14.04
Nginx
Postgres
python 2.7
django 1.6

*Test server*
http://162.243.201.237/

*Admin panel: *http://django-suit.readthedocs.io/en/develop/
http://162.243.201.237/admin/
user: demo
pasword: demo

*Static file command I ran*
python manage.py collectstatic

results: 0 static files copied, 116 unmodified.

*Setting.py: Basics *
DEBUG = False 

TEMPLATE_DEBUG = False

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
'/home/django/django_project/static/',

*Nginx setting:*

 # Your Django project's media files - amend as required
location /media  {
alias /home/django/django_project/django_project/media;
}

# your Django project's static files - amend as required
location /static {
alias /home/django/django_project/django_project/static; 
}

# Proxy the static assests for the Django Admin panel
location /static/admin {
   alias 
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/;
}

location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://app_server;
}

 My goal is to get the Django suit working. I do not see anything in my 
static files directory for the admin suit so the css can be applied. 
I am missing something very simple to get this working.

Thank you for taking time to look at this and wish to get some clues.

Roger

Re: Major Trouble Understanding Sessions Documentation

Thanks a load!  You've cleared up a lot!

Yes, I have read through the tutorial.  I even wrote a shortened version of 
it to act as notes as I learn:  http://polydoo.com/code/?p=48  (my blog)

Thanks again!

Re: Major Trouble Understanding Sessions Documentation

[Gregory Thompson Jr.]

Then how do I use the session to pass data between views?  What's wrong 
with my code?

If it counts for anything, *'text'* returns *'None'* in my debug statements 
(in the results() view).

Re: Major Trouble Understanding Sessions Documentation

[Gregory Thompson Jr.]

   
   1. def login(request):
   2. m = Member.objects.get(username=request.POST['username'])
   3. if m.password == request.POST['password']:
   4. request.session['member_id'] = m.id
   5. return HttpResponse("You're logged in.")
   6. else:
   7. return HttpResponse("Your username and password didn't match."
   )
   
How about that for starters?

The documentation goes from that to explaining how to set cookies.  How do 
they expect me to understand what's going on?
There's absolutely NO explanation of what's going on in that code.  

request.session['member_id'] = m.id 

How the hell does that work?  

They don't tell you where the session is started, how, what the scope of 
the session declaration is, etc...  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFd9NLZFmvo=1=PL6CB0A9FA1D9C736A=results_video
  
 

See that video?  The video shows you how to use sessions very quickly.  How 
did the person in the video get ALL of that code from just the 
documentation? 

If all readers in this thread and kindly tackle each point I made, I 
promise you your own KFC when I start my empire.  Until then, I really just 
need someone to give me the step-by-step on this one.  I'm completely new 
to the framework and the documentation thus far has not been helpful.  I've 
mainly gotten by with the help of StackOverflow, IRC, and random code 
snippets online -- and occasionally, some outdated books.  

If you don't want to explain or aren't going to ask me progressive 
questions with regards to my confusion, please just skip over my plight.

Thank you all.

Major Trouble Understanding Sessions Documentation

[Gregory Thompson Jr.]

I'd like to pass form data from one view to another.  

Here's my attempt: 

*#Models.py*from django import forms
class Textizer(forms.Form):
to_textize = forms.CharField(max_length=100)

def __unicode__(self):
return self.to_textize
*#views.py*from textize.models import Textizerfrom django.http import 
HttpResponseRedirectfrom django.shortcuts import render_to_responsefrom 
django.core.context_processors import csrf
def index(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = Textizer(request.POST)

if form.is_valid():
request.session['text'] = form.cleaned_data['to_textize']
return HttpResponseRedirect('/results')

else:
form = Textizer()

c = {'form': form}
c.update(csrf(request))
return render_to_response('C:/Documents and 
Settings/quansai/projects/textsite/templates/index.html', c)
def results(request):
text = request.session.get('text', None)
c = {'text' : text}
return render_to_response('C:/Documents and 
Settings/quansai/projects/textsite/templates/results.html', c)


I really don't understand the following, and I've read the documentation over 
and over.  I've been on this for two days:


   - How to initiate a session
   - How sessions are checked
   - How to retrieve form data from one page to handle the data on another.

Again, I've read through the documentation.  I've asked on IRC but everyone 
pretty much just says "RTFM" even when I tell them I have.  This is absolutely 
frustrating as an extreme beginner.

I'd also like to add that I DO understand the core Python language.  Please, 
unless it's absolutely necessary, don't try explaining to me what a dictionary, 
tuple, list, etc... is.  I've already had my intelligence insulted by the users 
on IRC in this regard.  I really just don't understand the sessions 
documentation.

Re: Adding context data to a TemplateView?

[Buddy Lindsey, Jr.]

This should help you out with adding extra context to TemplateView

Roy Smith wrote:


I'm using a generic TemplateView (django-1.4), but I want to be able
to add something to the context. Is that possible?

The docs at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/generic-views/#adding-extra-context 


talk about "an extra optional parameter, extra_context", but I don't
get what they're trying to explain. I tried the obvious:

url(r'^about$',
TemplateView.as_view(template_name='legal_ipsum/about.html',
extra_context={'pagename': 'about'})
),

in my urls.py file, but that just raises: "TemplateView() received an
invalid keyword 'extra_context'". What am I missing here?

Re: Accessing MEDIA_ROOT in templates, always blank/missing

Stoge, you DO need MEDIA_URL in turn to build the URL in which script src

MEDIA_ROOT is the (complete) physical path to the file. Do you want to

There is no reason why you could not learn both things at the same time. 
Contrary to previous statements, Django and Python are not hard to get started 
with but are hard to master (as is anything). I like both of the Django books 
because they actually focus on building something meaningful and not just 
giving you an overview of the framework. The Django book is also a great 
reference book but I have never read it through cover-to-cover. I use it more 
as a reference when I am stuck on something and need some clarity. Also, I 
would really recommend going through the documentation for both Python and 
Django extensively, both are excellent.

Cheers,
Steven

It means when you actually go to deploy your app on an actual web server in 
production you're going to be deploying on Linux. I've never seen a Python host 
on Windows, but then again I've never looked because, to be honest most Django 
devs use some Unix variant for development.

Right, sorry that's what I was going for but I brain spasm'd on the iPhone. 
Bitbucket has gotten a lot better since Atlassian took it over.

Kenneth,

I think he means whether or not the repository will be public or private. 
Github (git) does not offer private repos unless you pay whereas bitbucket 
(mercurial) gives you 5 private ones for free as well as the option for 
creating public ones. I personally am a big BitBucket fan as I find it much 
much easier to manage and also a bit faster.

the new user with generated key sent by e-mail, in url 
http://server.com/accounts/activate/ee3ad866abca8bf0d29d71870a79a3b84cd9c965/

Re: Django Improper Configuration

[Steven Elliott Jr]

Just curious if you've done a python tutorial yet? It's hard to really 
understand Django well unless you have at least some working knowledge of 
python. You will most definitely struggle later on when things become more 
complicated with your app. The framework is great for repetitive tasks but 
you're going to need to know how to write python code if you're to get 
anywhere. 

It's definitely possible to learn both at the same time but I'd read through, 
and work through a few python tutorials first then come back to Django. 

I know this is probably not what you'd like to hear and it's just my two cents 
so... 

Anyway, keep posting and we will try to help.

Re: Django Improper Configuration

[Steven Elliott Jr]

I remember that the one time I tried sqlite it complained until I put a .db 
suffix on the name of my database. If you do not specify the full path and just 
specify a name, then it will just create the database file in your project's 
root directory. 

So, under name just put:

'NAME' : 'database.db',

And see if that works.

   Right, which I think is horrible and usually very slow as well; it might be 
better to 
   install the Linux OS on a separate partition on the computer. I personally 
hate running
   anything in a virtual machine. I'd rather triple-boot a system than run in a

Re: Recommend a book

I have found beginning django e-commere as practical django projects to be 
great. Both from apress. I prefer to use books that go through building real

Re: LIMITATIONS of django

[Steven Elliott Jr]

This is not really an appropriate question. Django, like many frameworks is a 
collection of libraries written in some language. Django happens to be written 
in Python; as such, your proficiency with Python will have an effect on what 
you can and can't do with Django. Django provides a lot of useful tools to 
assist you along the way but it doesn't replace the need for solid coding 
skills in Python, HTML, JavaScript, and (at least some) knowledge of databases. 

So in short, you're limited only by your own knowledge. I'm sure a ruby or perl 
developer would say the same of their respective frameworks. 

Good luck
Steve

Re: how do you build an html website in python?

[Steven Elliott Jr]

@codecub

If you are interested in just building an HTML website why not just
write it in HTML? Why do you think you need to use Python? What are
the requirements of the website? Do you need a database and
middleware? If so I would recommend following the django tutorial
first:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

then read the django book

http://www.djangobook.com/

Of course it would be very helpful if you also know how to program in
Python and know about relational databases and webserver, and
yaddayadda but I'm sure you do since you know that you want to use
Django for your site.

Re: Giving up PHP. ...Can't decide between Django & Rails

[Steven Elliott Jr]

I came from java (spring mostly) then asp.net then php, rails and  
finally to django. While django is my favorite I can still use all the  
others just fine. Don't box yourself in and become a zealot of any one  
language/framework. Learn many and keep exploring.  It will only make  
you a better developer even if you only work professionally with one  
stack, learning and playing with other things will open up your mind.  
For me yes I love python and django but I also play with erlang, lua,  
haskell, xyz framework... you name it. It's good for yer noggin.

Why do you have to "make a choice"? Learn both. They can be useful in
many different ways.

I learned Rails (and Ruby) before Django, because I saw some material
for Ruby that got me interested in hacking on it. Some time later,
Rails got really popular. Then lately I learned Python and Django, and
I've been working with it professionally for 2 years now.

Now I don't have much more interest in Rails anymore, because Django
seems to cover all you can do with Rails, plus the benefits of Python
(you have a faster language, with more libraries and in a more mature
state). Syntax and all for more is close to irrelevant - what matters
is productivity. Some people will get you into religious wars about
blocks, or test driven frameworks, or whatever is the trend... skip
over those.

I would recommend learning other frameworks too. Python got a big
share of web frameworks, that have their own focus on a particular
structure - some can be better for REST APIs than Django, for example.
[1] Ruby also got other frameworks than Rails, but they shine a little
less.

Also, I would recommend you to learn *the language* first, and using
the framework to play with it. Make sure you don't use this mindset of
"I'm sick of PHP - let me find a magic framework", otherwise you won't
get much further the 15 minutes blog tutorials. Real web applications
will still require a lot of your own components and glue code for the
framework, in addition to your domain logic.

Having said that, Rails is quite limiting, but still a good choice.

Re: how do you build an html website in python?

Python won't build a site for you by itself. Do you already know  
python, HTML, JavaScript, relational databases and the like? All of  
these things are still important. Python is only one piece of the  
overall puzzle.

Re: Admin issues

[Steven Elliott Jr]

Have you looked at your db? are the tables there that you wrote in your models. 
Did you run 

python manage.py syncdb and did you see verification that your tables were 
created?

If you want to see that the sql is being created run

python manage.py sqlall app_name to make sure its generating the sql you want. 
If everything is correct the only explanation is that you don't actually have 
any tables set up in the database.

Re: Giving up PHP. ...Can't decide between Django & Rails

[Steven Elliott Jr]

I think it largely boils down (as many have said) to a python vs ruby debate.

I personally hate Ruby... I think its perl with a nice syntax, its very obtuse 
and just downright hard to maintain as projects get bigger (IMHO, others I;m 
sure disagree).

As far was what is better about Django for me is the lack of "Magic" that rails 
developers love. I just find the whole monolithic approach very confusing and 
ugly in Rails. ALso I hate the way it handles views but thats just my opinion. 
I love that in django I can store my templates anywhere and reuse them from 
other apps if need be... anyway, at the end of the day the best thing you can 
do is try both and just make a decision. THe more time you spend deliberating 
about these things is more wasted time that you could have been writing an app. 
I came from PHP and never looked back... oh yeah and the Python and Django 
communities are just friendlier and more helpful (again IMHO).

CHeck this out if you want to see a great talk about Django.

Re: Setting up Django on snow leopard

[Steven Elliott Jr]

Its also a good idea to install the Developer Tools ... You should check which 
version of Python you are using too. I think be default OS X uses 2.6.1

This is what I get when I type "python" into the terminal:
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 00:51:29)

Re: Setting up Django on snow leopard

[Steven Elliott Jr]

Are you running the install as superuser?

I am running leopard too and ran into the same problem but once you run it as:

sudo python setup.py install it should work..

Also, dumb question but do you have mysql installed? Its also a good idea to 
put this:

# mysql path
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin

in your .bash_profile as well... for later use.

Uncomment:  #'django.contrib.sessions',

make sure to import admin from django.contrib and turn admin.autodiscover()

and yes, error messages would be helpful... if any.

Re: Admin issues

[Steven Elliott Jr]

@Sheena,

sorry -- I didnt read all of your email -- I think if you've got it all in 
admin.py make sure you're importing admin from django.contrib.

To activate the admin interface though you need to do:

1. Add 'django.contrib.admin' to the INSTALLED_APPS setting (which you did)
2. Make sure INSTALLED_APPS contains 'django.contrib.auth, contettypes, and 
sessions  (I see sessions is commented out on yours.
3. Middle ware classes needs to contain 
'django.middleware.common.CommomMiddleware, 
'django.contrib.sessions.middlewarae.SessionMiddleWare, and 
django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware.

run python manage.py syncdb

then make sure that you have this in urls.py file:

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

#include this URLPattern...
urlpatterns = patterns(' ',
# ...
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
# ...
)

Hope this helps!



but you will still need to make sure that you have

You haven't shown us your code, but my guess would be one of two
issues - either the server hasn't restarted itself, in which case hit
ctrl-c and do it manually; or it's an indentation issue, so that the
method is being parsed as a standalone function rather than a member
of the Poll class.

Re: "ImportError: No module named django" with MacPorts

[Steven R. Elliott Jr]

Hello Tim,

I'm a fellow Mac user but I don't quite understand the problem that you are
having installing Django on OS X 10.6.

I installed Django today on a new Mac and it took all of 5 minutes and I
downloaded the tarball, extracted it and threw it in my home directory.

I believe that 10.6 comes comes with Python 2.6.1 out of the box so there
shouldn't have been a need to install 2.5 unless you are married to 2.5 for
some reason. Also, when you ran the python setup.py install command did you
run it as superuser? so, you need to plop sudo in front of your command...
if not, it won't have all the permissions it needs to install into your
system properly. Lastly, do you have the Apple Developer tools installed?

Not sure if any of this helps but I know that when I ran the install command
and didn't use:
*sudo* python setup.py install it crapped itself and complained that it
didn't have permission.

Good luck,
Steve

SQL Server 2008

[Steven R. Elliott Jr]

Hello,

I have been asked to write a front-end for an accounting system that will
allow business participating in certain benefits plans the ability to
receive and pay their bill online, reconcile bills, and add/delete members.
The problem is that the database is an existing SQL Server 2008 system and I
have not found any decent ways to connect to this database. The db itself
contains over 200 tables but I am only interested in 7 of them. I would love
to be able to use Django to develop the front end rather than ASP.NET but I
don't see a great deal of support out there for SQL Server '08 (I am using a
Mac right now... not real keen on having to bootcamp windows onto my Mac).
Has anyone had this type of project before? If so, I'd love to hear how you
got started.

Thanks in advance,

Steven Elliott

@Philip

Thanks for information -- very good advice. I appreciate all the input from 
everyone else as well. I intend to start using Django for almost everything 
going forward.

Thanks,

Re: Django in the enterprise?

[Steven Elliott Jr]

@Shawn

Sorry if I was not clear with my question. It seems like a lot of sites that I 
have seen on djangosites are news sites, or content-driven sites like blogs, 
personal web pages, social networking-type sites like fluther.com, etc. I was 
just curious if anyone has every sat down and wrote a distributed application 
to handle the internal workings of a business. For instance in my company we 
administer a range of benefits to over a million participants. We have to do 
claims processing for health insurance claims, perform EDI transactions that 
are HIPAA compliant, administer 401(k) benefits, administer Pension benefits, 
etc. All of these things require system for the internal staff and for users 
from the outside to access. Employers need to pay for their employee's 
benefits, reconcile bills, participants need to check account balances, 
reallocate investments, etc. I was just wondering if anyone has used Django to 
do this (we host everything ourselves, btw).

Right now we have Java and ASP.NET doing most of the work for us but the 
systems are old and need updating. Not to mention budgetary constraints are big 
thing now. I used Django to write an intranet application and it was very nice 
and I think I can probably handle the other stuff, just wanted to draw on 
other's experience.

Thanks,
Steve

Django in the enterprise?

[Steven Elliott Jr]

Dear friends,
I apologize for writing this type of question to the community but I would 
appreciate any information you could pass on considering the breadth of 
knowledge within this group. 
I know that the word “enterprise” gives some people the creeps, but I am 
curious to know if anyone has experience creating enterprise applications, 
similar to something like say… Java EE applications, which are highly 
concurrent, distributed applications with Django? I know Java has its own 
issues but its kind of viewed as THE enterprise framework and I think that’s 
unfortunate.
Some people say that Rails is a good replacement for Java EE but what about 
Django? Has anyone ever used it in this context? You only ever see pretty 
standard websites on djangosites.org and it seems like its capable of so much 
more. I am planning on scrapping some of our old systems which are written 
mostly on ASP.NET and some Java for something more easily maintainable. I 
started using Django for some other applications and find it to be fantastic 
for what I am using it for (Corporate news, intranet, etc.) internally but what 
about something like… an accounts receivable system, or a billing system, etc. 
I would hate to see a framework such as this pigeon-holed into a category it 
doesn't need to be. It seems to be used for social media/networking, 
content-heavy sites, not so much data processing, etc. I feel that it has all 
the elements needed to start down this path. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you very much for your time.

Best,
Steven Elliott

If you're doing a lot of FormWizard work, maybe take a look at the
Session-based FormWizard I wrote and give me some feedback.

It sounds like you have a reasonable solution to your issue, but I

Like you said, if you inserted a record with a manual ID greater than
the current sequence value, assuming you're moving forward through a
sequence of numbers from lower numbers to greater ones, then you could
see this.  Or if you actually changed the sequence.  You might have
ran an 'alter sequence' statement.

Switching to MySQL is not going to help you out here.

Nothing in your message is really Django specific, so far as I know,
and you might have better luck in a purely Jython forum.  My initial
thinking is that perhaps the classpath for your test environment is
not the same as your Jython/Django one.  With that said, I don't
really know much about what it takes to use JDBC drivers with
Django/Jython.

What if he wanted to do something like:

   ab.perform(name='x', y=12) or whatever, but also have the option to use
   ab.perform(**a_dict) or
   ab.perform(a_dict)

Can you do something like:

def perform(self, datadict=None, **kwargs):
  if datadict is None:
  datadict = kwargs
  elif kwargs is not None:
  datadict.update(kwargs)

I'm not sure that this would work; just kind of thinking out loud.

If I have you correctly, your data looks something like:

env_history = { dev : [
{'started' : 'x', 'stopped' : 'y', 'version' : 'z'},
 ... ],
   test : [
   ],
   ..
}

so you can do something like:

{% for env, statuses in env_history.items() %}
  {{ env }}
  {% for status in statuses %}
 {{ status.version }} {{ status.started }} to {{ status.stopped  }}
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

You could use something like an auto completing combo box.  I don't

You could try mod_wsgi.

Actually I don't know that all modern processors are x64, but it seems
to me that the server ones are.

I think the primary difference is the amount of RAM that is supported
and whether or not you have compatible software.  With that said, all
modern processors are x64 so you probably want to default with an x64
OS unless you need x86 for software compatibility reasons.

This is the kind of thing that 'virtualenv' deals with.  On ubuntu you
can set that up with:

$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages /path/to/sandbox1
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages /path/to/sandbox2

then, checkout or download the different django version and place/link them in:

/path/to/sandbox1/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/
/path/to/sandbox2/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/

you can test with

/path/to/sandbox1/bin/python manage.py runserver
/path/to/sandbox2/bin/python manage.py runserver

As far as apache configuration goes, this kind of thing is pretty
easily configured with mod_wsgi.

Re: How to simulate recursive inlines in admin?

I'm not writing this SessionWizard thing specifically for the admin,
though I wouldn't necessarily rule it out.  The point of it is to walk
ordinary, non-DB savvy, users through the creation of multiple
entities without these users having to know specifically the
relationships between entities (a programmer worries about that).  For
instance, creating a complete questionaire with the current admin
would involve, creating a questionaire, then creating questions and
answers and associating the questions with the questionaire and the
answers with the questions (basically select the same things
repeatedly from drop-downs).  This is resolved if you allow arbitrary
nesting of inlines and know how to map the relationships without the
user having to repeated select the same things from drop-downs, but it
could lead to one really long form.  Taking a multiple forms/requests
approach allows people to 1- pick up where they left off (say a
machine crashes or they just want save and pick up where they left off
and 2- quickly navigate to specific parts of the workflow in order to
add, change or remove or whatever.

I'm still a django newb, though, so please correct me if I stated
anything incorrectly.

Thanks,
Dave
