Generating XLSX (or CSV) from the Django admin (or elsewhere)
Generating XLSX (or CSV) from the Django admin (or elsewhere) The blog post Django: excel output instead of csv inspired me to write about my own experience with XLSX or CSV generation. XLSX export For a long time I used similarly structured ad-hoc code built on xlwt, a project which looks abandoned these days. I have been a more or less happy user of openpyxl during the last years and intend to continue using it. Something which I (or rather my users) require often is a way to export a list of selected objects from the Django admin. A good way to achieve this is by using an admin action. The common use case is that I have to export all model fields and maybe some additional data. xlsxdocument makes this very easy, all you have to do is: from django.contrib import admin from xlsxdocument import export_selected from app import models @admin.register(models.Example) class ExampleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): actions = [export_selected] If you wanted more control and wanted to add an additional field at the end you could write your own view (or embed the code in your own action, see the Django docs for this): from xlsxdocument import export_selected from app.models import Example … -
Django: excel output instead of csv
Ten years ago I made a time registration system for our company. Yeah, I know. Time registration systems are what everybody writes just for themselves instead of using one of the existing ones. Custom wishes: the same old excuses :-) But it was good fun to build and still is. At that time it was becoming popular to build the frontend in javascript. So I build it with pure, unashamed django templates. Custom template tags for formatting; formsets; the whole hog. After ten years, the website is still in heavy use, with only minimal work needed. Well, a bit too minimal: recently I really had to update the site as it was still running on python 3.5 and django 1.8. As it was pretty standard django, updating wasn't that hard. (I gave a talk about upgrading old django websites with docker recently, which might be interesting). The old CSV export Such a time registration system needs to output reports. Lots of different reports. I picked plain *.csv for that, as at the time there wasn't a handy xls exporter yet. The best one at the time needed you to install openoffice on the webserver, which wasn't ideal. Probably due to … -

Imageview customization (circular image view)
In android designing we'll come across ImageView. An ImageView displays an arbitrary image, such as an icon. The ImageView class can load images from various sources (such as resources or content providers), takes care of computing its measurement from the image so that it can be used in any layout manager, and provides various display options such as scaling and tinting. it is recommended to customise it through bitmaps(BitMap in android) instead of reshaping the image manually. -

Announcing django-denied
I have paranoia when it comes to my Django app. I run a homeschool scheduling service called School Desk. My Software as a Service (SaaS) lets families plan their homeschool activities. Since the app deals with data about students (including my kids!), it’s important to me that every user’s data is protected, so that users can only view their own information. When I designed the system, I picked a shared Postgres schema (i. -
