Django app with uwsgi, nginx: "no module called site"
I am setting up a django application using nginx, uwsgi, and a virtual environment. I am using python version 2.7.12 and ubuntu 16.04.

django model create causes IntegrityError 1062
I have a simple model, and when I use objects.create I am getting IntegrityError (1062, "Duplicate entry '96119' for key 'PRIMARY'"). I searched similar issues, but my case does not have any unique field, nor trying to manipulate the ID field.. The create command is simple: TimelineQuestion.objects.create(alg_type=alg_str, alg_score=0, snippet=rep, child=self) What am I doing wrong? I can reproduce easily, so it is not DB related.

Django Python application not working
I've successfully got Python and Apache working and Django to a point on Windows. The little Helloworld script on mod_wsgi docs runs fine. The issue that I'm coming against is I have the following in my httpd.conf: LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/envs/env/lib/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi.cp36-win32.pyd WSGIPythonHome /usr/envs/env <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /www/site/ ServerName example.com WSGIScriptAlias /blog /www/site/myblog/wsgi.py <Directory /www/site/myblog> Order deny, allow Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> Now, whenever I go to example.com/blog I get a response of "The requested URL /blog was not found on this server." I'm obviously missing something and normally I can track it down via Google, but my Google-Fu is failing me. Also important to note, there are no errors being logged by Apache. -
Uploading Multiple Files via Admin and Model in Django
I'm building a very basic application (my first Django app). And I wanted the user to add a book in the database. So, I have one model that adds a book, along with its Name and an Image (Book Cover). This is working just fine. Now, I wanted to upload chapters for this book and a chapter will have multiple pages, so multiple files (say, .pdf files). I made another class for the chapters and have linked this class via ForeginKey. I looked over a few answers here on SO, reddit and some random blogs and all of them seem to be out of date, old or not working. I'm adding all this information by using the default admin view that we get in the Django. I'm not sure how to go about this now. I don't want multiple FileField, because the number of pages in a chapter is unknown. Any hints? My models.py is like this : from django.db import models from django import forms def book_upload_location(instance, filename): return '{}/{}'.format(instance.book_name, filename) def book_chapter_upload_location(instance, filename): # /media/book_Name/Chapter_Number/ return '{}/{}/{}'.format(instance.book.book_name, instance.chapter_number, filename) class book(models.Model): book_name = models.CharField(max_length=500) book_description = models.TextField(max_length=4000) book_author = models.CharField(max_length=250) book_genre = models.CharField(max_length=100) book_image = models.FileField(upload_to=book_upload_location) def __str__(self): … -
Vue.js - Props are undefined in component method
I am beginning to integrate Vue.js in to a Django project (multi-page application). To start I am trying to create a simple logout component that will POST to the route for logout. The endpoint for the route comes from Django's url template tag. The endpoint prop is undefined within the component method. Though it is available within the component template. What am I doing wrong? Django Template <div id="logout"> <logout endpoint="{% url 'account_logout' %}" csrf_token="{{ csrf_token }}"></logout> </div> {% render_bundle 'logout' %} logout.js import Vue from 'vue' import Logout from './Logout.vue' new Vue({ el: '#logout', components: { Logout } }); Logout.vue <template> <div> <span class="logout-link" @click="performLogout"> Logout </span> </div> </template> <script> export default { name: 'logout', props: [ 'csrf_token', 'endpoint' ], data () { return { } }, methods: { performLogout: event => { console.log(`Endpoint: ${this.endpoint}`); // <-- undefined // this.$http.post(this.endpoint); } } } </script> <style> .logout-link { padding: 3px 20px; cursor: pointer; } </style> -

Efficient ways of randomizing treatments in oTree
I am writing the code for the experiment I am going to run in my master thesis. I am basically done, but I am stuck with one last aspect I cannot find the way to solve. I have a public good game with 16 participants, divided in 8 two-players groups. I have 4 treatments and I balanced the game, s.t. every treatment is played by 4 players each round (they are 12). The part I am missing at the moment is that I would like that every player does play every round exactly 3 times. This randomization is executed in the code below, which theoretically works, but practically I never managed to get to the end of it. in 20 minutes I managed to get at the end of Round 10, but could not make the program find a combination that satisfies the two conditions above for round 11 and 12. I know it is a bit tricky and it is easier to understand if you are into it, but... do you have any suggestions?

How can I delete a user account in Django Rest Framework?
I am creating an application by combining Django Rest Framework and Angular. Please let us know about the implementation of user deletion, because there are places that will not work.

Rest API tocken based authentication. Basic Auth
I have implemented token based authentication using rest_framework, every thing is working fine as of now but I have one question that if I am sending user-name and password in header using basic-auth then why am I required to send user-name and password with payload. When I sending request containing payload with user-name and password in body section with out user-name and password in header of request, I am getting following as response: { "detail": "CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect." } while I am sending user-name and password in header with out sending user-name and password with payload, I am getting following response: { "detail": "Invalid username/password." } Why am I required to send user-name and password in header section while I am sending it with payload. I am not quite sure about the concept. Could anyone please explain and show me the right way to do it. I have used this reference.

Specifying dynamic file upload location
So, I just started learning Django and I wanted to make an app. It's a simple app and I've just initialized my admin view and then I have a model named "Book". It's just like information about a book. The user can enter book name, author, description and upload a book cover image. I got this working without a hiccup. But, currently, the image is being saved in the "/media" folder, because that's what I specified in the MEDIA_ROOT of the settings file (which is totally fine). Now, what I want is that instead of this in my models.py, it gets saved to it's own directory. For example : Book Name : If god was a banker I want the cover image to be saved in "/media/albums/If God Was A Banker". How can I do this? I looked into the "upload_to" attribute of the "FileField". So, I tried something like this : book_name = models.CharField(max_length=500, allow_blank=False,trim_whitespace=True) comic_image = models.FileField(upload_to='%s/' % book_name) and of course this didn't work, as book_name didn't return the str type (I knew it'll go wrong though). So, how can I get this to work? anything I'm missing or anything that I could do to achieve my …
