Re: Django module view has no attribute?

[Sithembewena L. Dube]

@drone4four I meant the main URLconf, not "maul".

Re: Django module view has no attribute?

[Sithembewena L. Dube]

There was also a typo in my response, as I wasn't using the aliased imports
in the calls to `path`. Also, the single letters were just an illustration
(clear variable naming is key).

Also, I would not import any app's views in the maul URLconf. This kind of
defeats Django's "plug and play" application architecture. I would only
import each Django app's views in its urls.py config. file, and not in the
main project's URLconf.

In the end, the main project should know nothing about any app that may be
included, except adding that app to the "INSTALLED_APPS" list in settings
and wiring up the app's URLs in the main URLconf *without* importing its
views from there.


Kind regards,
Sithembewena

Re: Django module view has no attribute?

[drone4four]

Thank you Lloyd:

You are right that my import statements are written inside my urls.py in 
such away that they override each other, confusing Django. I appreciate 
your advice, but with all due respect, a slightly more Pythonic approach 
would be this:

“””

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path, re_path

# from . import views

from posts.views import *

from redactors.views import *

from counters.views import *

urlpatterns = [

 path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

 re_path('^$', home, name='home'),

 re_path('^result/', result, name='result'),

 re_path('^seth/', counters, name='seth'),

 re_path('^james/', posts, name='james'),

 re_path('^simon/', redactors, name='simon'),

]

“””

I find the re_path’s as they appear here to be more human readable than 
single alphabetical letters.

To explain with clarity, lines 4,5,6 import all functions from within the 
app directories and within each views.py package.  

Also, Django 2.0 now requires regex paths in url patterns to use the 
re_path() function as describe here: 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/urls/#re-path

My Django server now runs without reporting an issue at system check.

To answer your question, Joel: Yes, there is a function named posts inside 
views.py.

Re: Django module view has no attribute?

[Sithembewena L. Dube]

I don't know the contents of the course you are taking, but it looks like
the last import of views, which is "from counters import views" is
overriding all the others and in it you have not defined a "posts" view.

1. You could solve this by aliasing your imports, e.g.:
```
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
# from . import views as a
from posts import views as b
from redactors import views as c
*from counters import views as d*
urlpatterns = [
  path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
  path('^$', a.home, name='home'),
  path('^b/', views.result, name='result'),
  path('^b/', views.counters, name='seth'),
  *path('^d/', views.posts, name='james'),*
  path('^d/', views.redactors, name='simon'),
]
```

... although this is not what you should be doing with django.

2. (much better) you could use the `include` function of the django.urls
module and pass in the string representation of each urls module's name.
You would not need to import each app's urls.py module for this.

```
from django.urls import *include*, path

urlpatterns = [
  path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
  path('^james', *include*('posts.urls')),
]
```

...etc.

I would recommend doing a short Python tutorial to understand some key
basics, such as how imports work (
https://www.w3schools.com/python/default.asp) and doing the official Django
"Getting Started" guide and tutorial (you can find the latest version on
https://www.djangoproject.com/start/).

Django module view has no attribute?

[drone4four]

I’m taking a Udemy course by Nick Walter and rather than copying line by 
line, I’m trying to branch out and experiment on my own.  

The purpose of the website I am creating is for a small blog, with the 
ability to redact string input (in an HTML form) from the user. There is 
also a word counter for the body content of the blog.

I got Django running but as soon as I started adding the code I wrote, 
Django stopped running properly. 

Here is the traceback in full: https://pastebin.com/8HtdNwPP 

The main issue shows at the bottom:

File 
> "/home//dev/projects/python/2018-and-2019/CC_Redact_Iter2/CC_Redact_Iter2/urls.py",
>  
> line 28, in 
>* path('^james/', views.posts, name='james'),*
> *AttributeError: module 'counters.views' has no attribute 'posts’*



Based on this traceback, I gather I have probably misnamed a function or a 
file name or template but I can’t for the life of me figure which one or 
where. 

My entire source code repo can be found here: 
https://github.com/Angeles4four/CC_Redact_Iter2

Here are some of the relevant files involved.
