Django: DateTimeField taking UTC format only, not others
The time that is being inserted in database is default UTC, not the timezone based time..I do not understand why is this happening, even though I am particularly specifying, in the query, the time that I want to be inserted. In my Model I have class leave(models.Model): date_created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) In my settings I have TIME_ZONE = 'UTC' USE_I18N = True USE_L10N = True USE_TZ = True In my views i am setting timezone based on employee country if employees.objects.get(emp_id=request.user.username).emp_loc == 'IND': tzone=pytz.timezone('Asia/Calcutta') elif employees.objects.get(emp_id=request.user.username).emp_loc == 'MLA': tzone=pytz.timezone('Asia/Manila') elif employees.objects.get(emp_id=request.user.username).emp_loc == 'MPLS': tzone=pytz.timezone('CST6CDT') And then I am creating leave and updating timezone based on country new_leave = leave.objects.create(employee=employees.objects.get(emp_id = userid.emp_id), start_date=sdt, end_date=edt, ltype=ltyp, message=des,date_created=datetime.now(tzone)) new_leave.save() Thanks in Advance. -

Django: dynamic URL for user profiles
So I'm trying to make a pretty conventional dynamic URL profile pages for my users. So eg. www.website.com/profile/(username) I am getting an error of NoReverseMatch when I enter a valid username, and I do not know why. Here are snippets of my code urls.py urlpatterns = [ url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls), url(r'^signup/$', accountsViews.signup, name="signup"), url(r'^logout/$', authViews.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'), url(r'^login/$', authViews.LoginView.as_view(template_name='login.html'), name="login"), url(r'^find/$', findViews.find, name="find"), # url(r'^profile/$', accountsViews.profile, name="profile"), url(r'profile/(?P<username>.+)/$', accountsViews.profile, name="profile"), url(r'^$', views.home, name="home"),] views.py def profile(request, username=None): if User.objects.get(username=username): user = User.objects.get(username=username) return render(request, "profile.html", { "user": user, }) else: return render("User not found") html file {% if user.is_authenticated %} {% url 'profile' as profile_url %} <li {% if request.get_full_path == profile_url %}class="active"{% endif %}><a href="{% url 'profile' %}"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></span> Profile </a></li> <li><a href="{% url 'logout' %}"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></span> Log Out</a></li> {% endif %} Also it if it helps, the error message is highlighting the "{% url 'profile' %}" part as the error, and claiming that it does not have a reverse match. However, in my urls.py, you can clearly see that I have done name="profile" Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! -

Django rest framework json web token logout function
First of all, i am still new to django rest framework jwt so pls excuse my stupidity if im wrong. Im wondering about how to create a logout function for jwt as when user want to logout and switch account, they will need this function. Based on the what i seen in many other logout post, - there is no need for logout function as the token isnt save on server side so closing and opening will result in having to login again. - jwt is using expire time for it so it will logout when the token has been expire , provided if the verify token is set to True But what i want is to have like a remember me function where user will stay login when they close and open again, as one of the suggestion is turn the verify token to false or set expire time to weeks.

Create an list/dictionary of form fields in Django
I want to create a list of unique radio select options for a game in Django that exponentially increases with each round. So in round 1, the player has 1 radio button to select from. Round 2, the player has 2 radio buttons to select from. Round 3, the player has 4 radio buttons to select from. Crucially, each of these forms needs to have a unique identifier so that the player can select all options for a particular round. For example, for round 3, my form contains the following code: <tr> <td class="tb" rowspan="2"><p {% formfield player.r3_decision1 with label="" %}</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tb" rowspan="2"><p {% formfield player.r3_decision2 with label="" %}</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tb" rowspan="2"><p {% formfield player.r3_decision3 with label="" %}</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tb" rowspan="2"><p {% formfield player.r3_decision4 with label="" %}</p></td> </tr> Player is then declared as a class in models.py, with player containing each of the form fields defined above as attributes. class Player(): r3_decision1 = models.CharField( choices=['A Option A','B Option B'], widget=widgets.RadioSelectHorizontal(), blank=False, initial='blank' ) r3_decision2 = models.CharField( choices=['A Option A','B Option B'], widget=widgets.RadioSelectHorizontal(), blank=False, initial='blank' ) r3_decision3 = models.CharField( choices=['A Option A','B Option B'], widget=widgets.RadioSelectHorizontal(), blank=False, initial='blank' ) r3_decision4 = models.CharField( choices=['A Option A','B … -

how to redirect "print" command output to a file without changing the python code?
I want to redirect all the output of my django app to a file Firstly, I tried: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 >test.log 2>&1 But it doesn't redirect the output of print command. For example, in my code there is a statement: print ('query_content:') using command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 I can see that 'query_content:' is printed out in the screen. But with : python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 >test.log 2>&1 In the test.log, there are only something like this: [05/Nov/2017 20:38:20] "GET ...
