How to bypass manage.py in django? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here: How to do database migration using python script? 1 answer I am following django tutorial at: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/intro/tutorial02/ The page says: Bypassing manage.py If you’d rather not use manage.py, no problem. Just set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable to mysite.settings, start a plain Python shell, and set up Django: >>> import django >>> django.setup() If this raises an AttributeError, you’re probably using a version of Django that doesn’t match this tutorial version. You’ll want to either switch to the older tutorial or the newer Django version. You must run python from the same directory manage.py is in, or ensure that directory is on the Python path, so that import mysite works. For more information on all of this, see the django-admin documentation. the resulting django-admin documentation is also silent how you can bypass the python admin.py My question is How to bypass the shell commands and do the python manage.py from python file itself. related question: How to do database migration using python script? -

pymssql INSERT won't auto increment ID
I am using pymssql in my django project to connect to a database. I'm trying to use execute() method to do an insert. However I get this error: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table ITEMS the ID column is primary key and so it should be filled by the sql itself as I understand. here is my insert command: bill_id = execute(""" INSERT INTO ITEMS(COlUMN1,COlUMN2, COlUMN3,COlUMN4,COlUMN5) VALUES (%d, %d, %d, %d, %d); """, (1713, 6, 929, 1184, 25)) and none of these COLUMNs are ID. can anyone tell me what am doing wrong? -

Chrome does not stream content from Django's StreamingHttpResponse
A year ago, I used Django's StreamingHttpResponse to stream a text file and Chrome immediately displayed every trunk of text that it received. Now, with the same code, Chrome only displays the text when it completely loads the text file, thus risks server timeout. This does not happen with Firefox. I created a simple test: # views.py import time from django.views import generic class TestEditView(generic.TemplateView): def generator(self): for _ in range(15): time.sleep(1) yield 'THIS IS {}\n'.format(_) print('LOG: THIS IS {}\n'.format(_)) def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): return StreamingHttpResponse(self.generator(), content_type="text/plain; charset=utf-8") If I access that view in Firefox, that browser will print out 'THIS IS ....' each second for 15 seconds. But in Chrome, the browser will wait 15 seconds, then print out all of the 'THIS IS...', even though the development server log 'LOG: THIS IS...' once a second. I wonder if there is any subtlety in this problem that I missed. Thank you. Python: 3.6.2, django: 1.10.5 -
duplicate key value violates unique constraint itemstaticlabel_item_id_f9405967_uniq
I know, this problem happens because the code is trying to add an entry to the database with a combination of unique keys that already exist. But my question is: why and how can I prevent this? It doesn't make sense to me that this is happening, given my logic. I have this piece of code that basically stores some static label for an invoice. The idea is to create the label on the fly if it doesn't exist, instead of manually inserting it in a lot of places in the code. Whenever an Item is generated, an ItemInv is also created, and by saving the latter, I check if a static label exists. If it doesn't, a new one is created. The code to get (or create) the static label is also called when displaying an Invoice / Draft. The error seems to happen right there. The label doesn't exist, a new one is created, but somehow this happens twice? I mean, I really don't get why that code would try to add the same item two times. Could it be a thread issue? I am not using get_or_create because some attributes on ItemStaticInv (static_account_label, static_agreement_label...) can be updated … -
Create sql schema from django models or migrations
I created different models with django 1.8. Now, to enable other people to have a quickly comprehension, I would create a sql schema from the models or from the migration files (even only from the initial migration file). Someone knows how does it? -
Return Python Django model as a json object
I am trying to return an object created from a Django model as JSON to the rest framework after being created. I have tried many ways but they all don't seem to work. Here is my code; router.register(r'amazon/products/import/(?P<id>[-\w\d]+)', amazon_views.AmazonImportProductViewSet, base_name='import-amazon-product') ...routing to... class AmazonImportProductViewSet(viewsets.ViewSet): def list(self, request, id=None): product = simple_amazon.lookup(ItemId=id, ResponseGroup='ItemAttributes,Offers,Images,EditorialReview,Reviews') brand = get_object_or_404(AmazonBrand, name="microsoft") createdProduct = AmazonProduct.objects.create(title=product.title, brand=brand) #json_p = serializers.serialize("json", createdProduct) serializer = AmazonProductSerializer(createdProduct) return Response({'success': "true", 'message':'Imported successfully!', 'product':serializer.data}) I am trying to return just 1 object with it's OneToMany relationships. For example I would like brand returned as well. -
Angular 2 with Django
I am struggling to find a good tutorial or documentation that covers the integration of Django and Angular 2+. It is easy to find documentation for each individually but cannot find something suitable which takes you through both at the same time. For other languages such as C# there are many books on ASP.Net and Angular 2+ together. I find it strange as to why there is no documentation for Django (in Python). Does anyone know where I can learn how to connect these two popular technologies? -
Django - write model contents to new file
I have a Django model, and I want, when the user clicks on submit, the model not only saves the data in the database, but also writes them in a new file in this format: (structid,name,pos,long,type). I am new to Django and I am doing my internship in it. -
Django: HTTP status 400 response rolls back model save?
I have an API endpoint to trigger a payment request to a third party. The endpoint is called with some data in a POST request and goes something like the code below. Somehow when the payment request failed (payment.is_successful = False), no data was ever saved to the database, although the debug log showed SQL INSERTs being made, and no error was thrown. The data was just dropped silently. I figured that if I changed HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST to HTTP_200_OK then my data is saved. Why is this happening (and where is the code responsible for it)? Is there a way to prevent it from happening (I want my data in the db for this view, no matter what) with some setting in Django/DRF? I've temporarily set the return code to 200, but it feels wrong as the request actually failed. What code would make more sense, that doesn't cause the data to disappear? view code ser = MySerializer(data=request.data) if ser.is_valid(): payment = ser.save() else: # do some non database stuff return Response(result, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) if payment.is_successful: # some more processing return Response({'success': True}, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED) else: return Response({'success': False}, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST) ## THIS LINE ## serializer code class MySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): def create(...): # call payment … -
Django <object> is not JSON serializable

How to use request.META.HTTP_HOST inside Django models?
I'm trying to improve my app's SEO by having absolute URLs to my links (link for each world city). I managed to do so in the template by doing this: <a title="{{city.name}}" href="http://{{ request.META.HTTP_HOST }}/{{city.get_absolute_url}} " target="_blank">{{ city.name }} </a> However I'm trying to implement the same from the model in a way that I can simply do this: <a title="{{city.name}}" href="{{city.get_absolute_url}} " target="_blank">{{ city.name }} </a> This is my attempt: def get_absolute_url(self): return "http://" + self.request.META.HTTP_HOST + '/city/%s/' % self.slug But I get this: name 'request' is not defined How can I import the user request to use in a model? -

Shall I rename user uploaded files?
Django==1.11.6 There are file upload attacks. But modern Django seems well guarded against them. Django security guide is here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/security/#user-uploaded-content Concerning user uploaded files it is much shorter than other security guides. In the Internet we can find this kind of advice: The application should not use the file name supplied by the user. Instead, the uploaded file should be renamed according to a predetermined convention. Well, I think that renaming is a good idea. Shall I rename user uploaded files or it is not dangerous in case of modern Django? -

Django test: how to compare result of resolve() with view function when login_required is specified for that view

Use the template of another django app in an another app
I have two django apps. One which belongs to core code and one contrib app. What I need to do is to display a template in my contrib app, which actually exists already in the core app. This is more or less the folder structure: django project core app templates ... contrib app templates -template_from_core_app The template renders data from views and forms which exist in the core app. I am wondering what is the best way to do something like this. -
