Creating a custom user model in Django 1.6 - Part 4
Hi everyone and welcome back to this Django tutorial. If you haven't done so yet, make sure to check out the first, second and third part of this tutorial before getting started today.This week we will start by covering the admin login form and allowing users to log into the admin site using their e-mail address instead of their username.Then we will go through a couple more advanced cases of custom user model in Django, including expirable users. -
将 Sublime 3 打造成 Python/Django IDE
Sublime Text 是一款非常强大的文本编辑器, 下面我们介绍如何将 Sublime Text 3 打造成一款 Python/Django 开发利器: 1. 安装 Sublime Text 3 虽然现在的 Sublime 3 还处于 beta 阶段, 但已经非常稳定了, 而且速度比 Sublime 2 得到了增强. Sublime 3 可以到官网下载并安装. Sublime 虽然是免费软件, 但如果有足够的经济能力, 可以考虑购买以表示支持. 2. 安装 Package Control Sublime Package Control 可以说是必须安装的插件, 因为其方便的提供了安装/升级/删除 Sublime 插件的功能, 安装方法见Package Control 官网. 安装完毕后, 就可以使用快捷键 ctrl+shift+p (Win, Linux) 或 cmd+shift+p (OS X), 其中以 Package Control: 开头的都是其相关命令, 最常用的可能就是 Package Control: Install Package, Package Control: Remove Package, Package Control: List Packages 这几个命令了. 3. 推荐安装的插件 现在可以使用 Package Control 安装其他插件了. 使用快捷键 ctrl+shift+p (Win, Linux) 或 cmd+shift+p (OS X), 输入 Package Control: Install Package 回车, 输入 package 名再回车安装: Anaconda Anaconda是目前 Sublime 3 中最好的 Python 自动补全和语法提示插件, 并且提供了"跳转到定义", "查找使用", "显示文档", "自动重命名"等 IDE 中插件的功能. Djaneiro 提供了对Django的支持. SideBarEnhancements 提供了对默认的侧边栏的增强功能. Sublime的侧边栏可以使用快捷键 Ctrl+k Ctrl+b (Linux, Win), CMD+k CMD+b (OS X) 调出来. 安装之后, 还可以通过F12键在浏览器中打开当前文件. Git 相关 我们需要安装 SublimeGit 和 GitGutter, 前者可以帮助我们在 Sublime 中使用 Git 命令 (通过 ctrl+shift+p 或 cmd+shift+p), 后者在编辑时在 Gutter 显示 Git 差异, 十分方便. 主题相关 Theme - Soda 和 Monokai Extended, 安装之后在 user settings 中设置使用: "color_scheme": "Packages/Monokai Extended/Monokai Extended.tmTheme", "theme": "Soda Dark 3.sublime-theme", 其他插件 还可以安装 Emmet, SublimeLinter (注意依赖关系), ColorPicker, Gitignore等插件 4. 设置 以下是推荐的设置, 可以直接复制黏贴放入 user settings 中, 需要注意的是字体文件需要提前安装: { "always_show_minimap_viewport": true, "auto_complete_commit_on_tab": false, "auto_find_in_selection": true, "bold_folder_labels": true, "color_scheme": "Packages/Monokai Extended/Monokai Extended.tmTheme", "theme": "Soda Dark 3.sublime-theme", "default_line_ending": "unix", … -
O'Reilly Deal: 50% Off Lightweight Django
O'Reilly Media, the go-to source for technical books, just let us know that they're having a 50% off sale on eBook pre-orders of Lightweight Django today. Lightweight Django is being written by our very own Technical Director, Mark Lavin and Caktus alumna Julia Elman. We would've thought the book was a fantastic intro to the power of Django in web app development anyway, but since Mark and Julia wrote it, we think it’s extra fantastic. Mark and Julia are continuing to write, but O'Reilly is providing this special pre-release peek for pre-orders. Those that pre-order automatically receive the first three chapters, content as it’s being added, the complete ebook, free lifetime access, multiple file formats, and free updates. -
The End of an Era
Django migrations have come a long way, but it stands on the shoulders of one project that has come just a little bit further. It's been a long while since I posted news of the Django migrations work; my apologies for that, and I'll write about what's been going on there (and the upcoming 1.7 release) soon. For now, though, I want to focus on the past, rather than the future. Today I've released what is probably the last version of South, version 1.0. South has had very few changes for a couple of years now, and the only reason it's getting a release at all is one new feature to aid in the upgrade to Django 1.7. Easier Upgrades This feature is that South will now look first for a south_migrations directory, before falling back to migrations. This one small change means that third-party libraries and apps can support both South and the new-style 1.7 migrations, by moving their legacy South migrations into the south_migrations directory, and having the Django migrations in the migrations directory. This is the end result of the attempt to try and introduce a forwards-compatible "South 2" that would read the new migration format but … -
在 Selenium 中设置不同的浏览器进行 web application 测试
通常我们当我们需要测试JavaScipt, 兼容性或模拟用户行为时, 我们会用使用 Selenium 和 django 的 LiveServerTestCase Class. 默认情况下 Selenium 的 WebDriver 启动的是 Firefox 浏览器, 那么如何使用 Selenium 配合其他浏览器呢? 当然 Selenium 是支持其他浏览器的, 但如果想要使用其他浏览器, 需要要我们做一点不同的设置. 接下来, 我们就演示一下如何设置: 1. Firefox 首先我们演示一下默认情况下如何打开 google.com 并截图: from selenium import webdriver browser = webdriver.Firefox() browser.get('http://www.google.com') browser.save_screenshot('screen.png') browser.quit() 2. Chromium 或 Chrome 首先你要安装有 Google Chrome 浏览器. 你还需要chromedriver, 你可以在Chrome Driver官网上下载到 在 Selenium 中使用 Chrome: from selenium import webdriver browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver') browser.get('http://www.google.com/') browser.save_screenshot('screen_chromium.png') browser.quit() 3. Android 浏览器 在 Android 设备上运行 Selenium 的话, 你必须安装 Selenium server APK, 并启动该APK. 如果是在虚拟机中运行的话, 则需要使用 adb 安装 Selenium server APK: 显示所有 Android 虚拟机: ./adb devices 记下你想要安装的虚拟机ID, 并安装: ./adb -s ID_NUMBER -e install -r android-server-*.apk 再启动该虚拟机. 我们还需要为已经启动的虚拟机设置端口映射, 这是为了让 Selenium 能够与服务器交流: ./adb -s ID_NUMBER forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080 如果使用的是真实的设备, 那我们只需要使用设备的真实IP地址即可: from selenium import webdriver desired_capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.ANDROID desired_capabilities['deviceOrientation'] = 'landscape' #portrait browser = webdriver.Remote("http://localhost:8080/wd/hub", desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities) browser.get('http://www.google.com') browser.save_screenshot('screen_android.png') browser.quit() 4. iOS (iPad, iPhone) iOS只能在OSX上使用. 你可以查看ios-driver. 5. 在线 Selenium 服务 如果你想方便的使用 Selenium, 那么也可以尝试 saucelabs.com 或 testingbot.com. 他们提供了在线 Selenium 测试 API. -
Webby stuff
Latest Evennia come with a range of improvements, mainly related to its integration with the web.New and improved ways to expand the website/webclientThanks to the work of contributor Kelketek, Evennia's Django-based web system (website and webclient) has been restructured to be much easier to expand. Previously you had to basically copy the entire web/ folder into your game and modify things in-place. This was not ideal since it made it inherently harder to update when things changed upstream. Now Evennia makes use of Django's collectstatic functionality to allow people to plugin and overload only the media files and templates that they need. Kelketek wrote a new and shiny web tutorial explaining just how things work. Websocket-based webclient with OOBEvennia's webclient was an ajax-based one using a long polling ("comet") paradigm to work. These days all modern browsers support websockets though, a protocol that allows asynchronous server-client communication without the cludgery of long polling. So Evennia's new webclient will now use websockets if the browser supports it and fall back to the old comet client if it does not.The new client also has full support for OOB (Out-of-band) communication. The client uses JSON for straight forward OOB messaging with the server. As part of this, … -

Python语言的一小点优雅表现
本篇中, 我们展示一下一段非常小的代码, 这段代码十分吸引我们, 因为它使用十分优雅和直接的方式解决了一个常见的问题. 比如, 我们希望希望检测"一段string是否以特定的字符串结尾?", 通常我们使用: if needle.endswith('ly') or needle.endswith('ed') or needle.endswith('ing') or needle.endswith('ers'): print('Is valid') else: print('Invalid') 十分丑陋是吧? 如果我们检测变量needle是否是以下特定字符串之一的话, 会这样写: if needle in ('ly', 'ed', 'ing', 'ers'): print('Is valid') else: print('Invalid') 但是, 我们无法在 endswith function 中使用 in, 但我们换一种想法, 我们需要检查的其实是"一段string的结尾是否是以下字符串的任意一个?", 我们会发现python有内部函数any, 于是我们的代码可以改为: if any([needle.endswith(e) for e in ('ly', 'ed', 'ing', 'ers')]): print('Is valid') else: print('Invalid') 相信很多读者在此会不同意我的做法, 或者有更好的写法存在. 但这已经不重要. 我明白你们大多数都会使用类似的写法面对这一相似的问题. 我真正的目的其实是展示一下Python的优雅之处. -
Django 1.6 最佳实践: 如何搜索查找并解决Django相关的问题
每个程序员都会在开发过程中遇到这样或那样的问题, 有时光靠一个人是无法解决所有问题的, 所以我们应该找到适当的地方提问. 1. 卡住是怎么办 按照以下步骤, 前提是你需要懂点英文: 尽可能自己想办法解决 仔细阅读相关文档, 确保不错过任何相关内容 在Google, 百度, mailing lists或StackOverFlow上查看是否有人遇到相同问题 找不到? 在StackOverFlow上问问题, 需要使用小例子说明该问题, 并列出你的开发环境, 使用的软件版本 过了几天都没人回答? 到Django-users mailing list 或 django IRC中再提问 2. 如何问问题 IRC代表Internet Relay Chat, 在Freenode IRC网络中存在#python和#django频道, 其中都是python和django的开发人员. 对于新手而言, 有时你提的问题会被忽略, 有时甚至会被嘲笑, 但请不要感到沮丧, 这是对事不对人的. 这些IRC都是由志愿者维护的, 因此在你提问的同时, 也应当尽量回答别人的问题. 在你提问前, 请先确保你做过功课, 将其作为最后一根救命稻草 将相关的代码放入https://gist.github.com/中 问题尽可能的详细, 并提供联想gist的链接 当别人提供帮助时, 应当感谢别人 我们也应当在社区中变得更积极, 投入越多, 回报也会多. 参与社区的途径: 参加Python和Django会议, 可以通过https://wiki.python.org/moin/LocalUserGroups找到你当地的小组 对开源的Django package贡献代码 参加IRC频道, 并提供帮助 在StackOverFlow上回答问题 订阅planet django博客 等的呢 -

Django 1.6 最佳实践: Continuous Integration
Continuous integration (CI) 是一种软件开发实践, 常用于团队间频繁合并工作使用. 每一次合并都要经过自动构建和测试尽快验证其正确性. 许多团队都发现这一方式能大大降低合并中出现的麻烦和, 并增强软件统一性. 以下是一个典型的开发流程: 程序员写代码, 运行本地测试, 将代码推至代码库, 通常最少一天一次 代码库变化触发自动构建工具 自动构建工具运行构建程序. 其间发生任何错误就将本次推送驳回 自动构建工具运行测试程序. 其间发生任何错误就将本次推送驳回 自动构建工具将结果通知开发人员 这一过程有以下优势: 能以最快速度发现bug 便于发现其他问题 每天合并代码的结果导致不会有一次性大规模的改变代码的情况发生 利于对项目的反馈 减轻许多麻烦的事物 1. Continuous Integration 的原则 接下来, 我们讨论一下Continuous Integration的原则: 大量测试 Continuous Integration的前提是构写大量的测试代码. 没有完整的测试就无法做到Continuous Integration. 有些人可能会不同意, 觉得没有测试, 照样可以完成Continuous Integration, 而且也能带给团队同样的优势: 测试开发过程是否成功, 将每个人的代码都同步. 但这一情况是建立在编译语言上的, 因为编译语言在编译时就保障了代码的正确性(不包括其功能性). 保持快速构建 随着开发时间的进行, 测试可能会变得越来越慢, 为此我们提供了一下技巧: 避免使用fixture 没有必要时便面使用TransactionTestCae 避免构写大量setUp()代码 构写小而专一的测试代码 学习数据库优化 2. Continuous Integration 的工具 可以使用以下工具: Tox Tox是一个virtualenv管理和测试用命令行工具, 可以帮助我们使用一个简单的命令对多个Python和Django版本进行测试. 对于不同的数据库, 也应当进行测试. 这是全世界的程序员测试不同版本python兼容性的通用工具. Jenkins Jenkins是一个Continuous Integration的引擎, 也是一个Continuous Integration的标准. 也有许多在线工具继承了Jenkins供我们方便的使用, 有些更是可以方便的集成到类似GitHub, BitBucket等的代码管理库中, 例如Travis-CI, CircleCI和Drone.io. -
Ansible thoughts (plus questions for which I need your input)
Now... how do we structure our servers? How do we put our software on them? How do we configure them? I've done my share of server maintenance and devops and what have you. On linux, that is. Maintaining my own (web)server since 1996 or so. Done a lot with buildout (which means grabbing everything together for a site that has to do with python). Automated much of our installation with Fabric so that $ bin/fab update production was more or less the standard way to update a site. So I know my way around reasonably and I normally keep everything pretty neat and tidy. Now Ansible has come along and several of our sites are managed with that tool. It feels like a much more elaborate version of Fabric. "Elaborate" is meant very positively here. And I want to dive into it and start using it too. Fabric is great for executing commands via ssh on a remote server (including copying files, modifying files etc). Ansible also executes commands via ssh, but comes with a complete system for storing your configuration, handling variables, dividing up the workload into libraries and also for sharing those libraries (called "roles" in ansible-speak).

Adding CKEditor to your Django Admin
How much hard work are those standard textareas in your Django Admin? Lets change that by adding a full HTML text editor…. ckeditor, anyone? Yeah, I know, there are a lot of packages that already do this. However, if all you require is a simple WYSIWYG editor within your admin, it's so easy and far more elegant to just add one in yourself. In jut 3 steps: 1) Download the latest version of CKEditor. 2) Place all the CKEditor files you just downloaded into your static root so it can be served. 3) In your admin.py add something like the following... from django.contrib import admin from django.db import models from django import forms from .models import Entry class EntryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): formfield_overrides = { models.TextField: {'widget': forms.Textarea(attrs={'class':'ckeditor'})}, } list_display = ['title', 'creation_date', 'status'] class Media: js = ('ckeditor/ckeditor.js',) admin.site.register(Entry, EntryAdmin) Done! You now have an HTML text editor on your textarea. So what did we just do? All that’s happened is we told Django to replace any textareas with the ckeditor code. When ckeditor starts up it knows to replace any textareas with the ckeditor code becuase we added the class=ckeditor to them. The Class Media will add the required … -
My Blog Search: Haystack and Whoosh
The observant of you may have noticed I finally have search functionality on my blog, yeah!!! After doing a bit of research I decided that SOLR would be far too ambiguous for my simple requirements. With this considered I decided to implement Haystack utilising the Whoosh engine for the search backend. If you don’t know, Whoosh is a pure Python search backend, which means familiarity, perfect! Here is a quick example of how I set this up. First I installed Whoosh and Haystack using pip. sudo pip install Whoosh sudo pip install django-haystack Then in my settings.py I added the haystack application. INSTALLED_APPS = [ # Added. 'haystack', 'blog', ] Next, my settings.py I then needed to tell Haystack what backend I’m using. # Search Haystack import os HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.whoosh_backend.WhooshEngine', 'PATH': os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'whoosh_index'), }, } At the same level as my setings.py I created a new file called 'search_sites.py' and added the following to it. import haystack haystack.autodiscover() This will cause haystack to look for any search_indexes.py files inside each app in my project site. I needed the appropriate URL's of course. (r'^search/', include('haystack.urls')), Now the configuration is out of the way, Haystack needed to … -

Installing Python and Django on Windows
For my own reference I just wanted to document my first time installing Python and Django on Windows 8.  I have installed Python before on a Mac, but never on Windows. To begin with I installed the Python 2.7 (the version Django is compatible with at this point in time). First, I downloaded and installed Python. Python has an ‘installer’ so this was straightforward. I would recommend the install location to be short and simple c:/python27. It's a lot easier on your command prompt typing later on. Python is not added to the DOS path by default. I needed to tell windows the PATH environment variable to include paths to Python executable and additional scripts.  Under My Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables > I created a new variable called "PythonPath” and added the following… C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts; Above being my location to the Python executable. Now that I had Python installed, it was time to install Django. I download the Django files then opened the command prompt. Using the Command Prompt I changed directory (“cd”) into the extracted Django directory. I then typed the following... python setup.py install This installs Django into Python’s site-packages directory. The download … -
Resetting migration history Django South
Just something useful when it comes to resetting migration history using Django South. rm -r appname/migrations/ ./manage.py reset south ./manage.py convert_to_south appname I had to do this recently and I was somewhat apprehensive at first. No need to be tho. I just opened up terminal removed the migration folder from the app , used the reset command and then converted the app just like it was an existing one. Doing this does mean that South assumes your database is identical to the app models.py. -
Fix: vertualenv EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found
Have you ever had what should be a simple task just drive you insane? For me, it's setting up a new Django project using virtualenv on my home Mac running 10.8! For some reason this Mac likes to misbehave! I get the same error every time I try to install MySQL-python within virtualenv vertualenv EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found I cannot take any credit for this fix, after many searches I found the solution here. It's a simple fix just to edit the /bin/activate file from the virtualenv directory and add the following lines, _OLD_VIRTUAL_PATH="$PATH" PATH="$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin:$PATH" PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin/" export PATH That's it, just make sure you match your paths to your own configuration. Now MySQL-python installs under virtualenv as normal. -
Django 1.5 deployment on Amazon EC2 Ubuntu
Introduction Six months ago I began my Django journey. Since then I have setup, installed and utilised many different deployment mechanisms for projects. This tutorial demonstrates the installation and deployment solution I found to be the most fitting for my own Django projects. So, I’d like to share… Why Git? I’ve been using Git for deployment within our company for sometime. It was a natural fit since all our projects already used GIT for version control and our development team understands it. What’s best, it's completely free! Prerequisites One will assume you are already familiar, perhaps even using GIT and have a basic understanding of Apache, Ubuntu Server and Django. I tend to use Cloud computing such as Amazon AWS. I have tested this tutorial on a EC2 instance running Ubuntu 12. Installing our Server Software So as mentioned above I’ll be using an EC2 instance for this writeup. So first ssh in and do any updates. apt-get update apt-get upgrade Next, you will need to install Apache2, Python, and PIP using the following commands... apt-get -y install apache2-mpm-worker apache2-dev apt-get -y install python python-dev python-setuptools sudo apt-get install python-pip pip install --upgrade pip We will wget the latest mod_wsgi, … -
