Optimizing Django REST framework load times without .select_related or .prefetch_related
I am experiencing slow load times (~13 seconds) for the Django REST framework due to the amount of data that is being returned (~1000 rows, 116 columns per row, no relationships). ~1000 rows $ curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -o /dev/null -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/systemstates/3296" time_namelookup: 0.005 time_connect: 0.006 time_appconnect: 0.000 time_pretransfer: 0.006 time_redirect: 0.000 time_starttransfer: 12.968 ---------- time_total: 12.975 Limit to 10 rows $ curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -o /dev/null -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/systemstates/3296" time_namelookup: 0.005 time_connect: 0.006 time_appconnect: 0.000 time_pretransfer: 0.006 time_redirect: 0.000 time_starttransfer: 1.657 ---------- time_total: 1.657 This is the model class SystemState(models.Model): systemId = models.IntegerField(default=0) from_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) to_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) patch = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True) patch_previous = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True) vv_count = models.IntegerField(default=0) vv_count_previous = models.IntegerField(default=0) vv_total_io = models.DecimalField(default=0, max_digits=15, decimal_places=3) port_total_io = models.DecimalField(default=0, max_digits=15, decimal_places=3) delayed_acks = models.IntegerField(default=0) delayed_acks_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_over_16s = models.IntegerField(default=0) writes_over_32ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_over_64ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_over_128ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_over_256ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_over_512ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_over_1024ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_over_2048ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_over_4096ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_between_0_and_0_62ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_between_0_62_and_0_125ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_between_0_125_and_0_25ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_between_0_25_and_0_5ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_between_0_5_and_1ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_between_1_and_2ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_between_2_and_4ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) writes_between_4_and_8ms_pct = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=3) … -
Django delete database record when HTML button is clicked
I'm trying to create a button located in an HTML table that when clicked will delete a record (article in this case) from the database. I pass the articles pk like I've done with other links, but I can't figure out how make the deletion happen. I've searched online and the help files, but I'm new and really need someone to lay it all out for me. What should the URL and View look?

MySQL encoding from Latin-1 to UTF-8
For a very long time i was suffering form the Latin-1 encoding in My Django web application DB causing this error when trying to select a matching string using LIKE : -- UnicodeEncodeError:'latin-1' codec can't encode character-- i've tried every solution from setting (charset='utf8') in the connection to applying cursor.execute("set names 'utf8'") before my actual query but nothing seams to work. Until i came across this blog post: https://www.whitesmith.co/blog/latin1-to-utf8/ about the encoding problem and it is the same problem that i have because when i looked in phpMyAdmin a saw that by default my DB i Latin-1 encoding: chatbot_brain=>utf8_general_ci information_schema=>utf8_general_ci Total: 2=> latin1_swedish_ci So, the solution is to dump the DB and change the description in the schema file: # Login into your future database host to create a new database with an UTF-8 charset $ mysql -h FUTURE_HOST -u FUTURE_USER -p mysql> CREATE DATABASE `FUTURE_DB` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; # Flush the current database schema on the future host, replacing all CHARSET=latin1 occurrences along the way mysqldump -h CURRENT_HOST -u CURRENT_USER -p CURRENT_DB --no-data --skip-set-charset --default-character-set=latin1 \ | sed 's/CHARSET=latin1/CHARSET=utf8/g' \ | mysql -h FUTURE_HOST -u FUTURE_USER -p FUTURE_DB --default-character-set=utf8 # Flush the current database data on … -
Store boolean variable in url dispatching
The following url definition should pass whether results/ is present in the url: url(r'^(?P<question_id>[0-9]+)/(?P<results>(results/)?)shorten/$', views.shorten, name='shorten') Currently it passes results/ or None which is sufficient for a simple: if results: pass But it would be more elegant to have True and False. How could this be done? -
Connecting seat's status in database to javascript(Django)
I'm using Django to build a bus booking website. I have a javascript code displaying the seating chart and their availability. I have code that passes the id and status of seats of the bus user selects. I want to link them to javascript so they can see on screen whether a seat is available or not. This is my Views def book_seats(request, bus_number,): valid = Bus.objects.filter(bus_number=bus_number,) if valid.exists(): for info in valid: bcapacity = info.capacity bprice = info.price seat_info = Seat.objects.filter(bus__bus_number=bus_number) seats = {} for object in seat_info: seats[object.id]=object.status js_seats = json.dumps(seats) template = 'seats.html' context = {'capacity': bcapacity, 'price': bprice, 'seats':js_seats} return render(request, template, context) else: return HttpResponse("Dude Stop messing with URL") As you can see I pass the bus number in the view which filters the database for seats and seats are then copied in js_seats. Then they are passed to the template using context. This is my seats.html template <div class="cover-container"> <div id="seat-map"> <div class="front-indicator">Front</div> </div> <div class="booking-details"> <h2>Booking Details</h2> <h3> Selected Seats (<span id="counter">0</span>):</h3> <ul id="selected-seats"></ul> Total: <b>Rs <span id="total">0</span></b> <button class="checkout-button" onClick="book()">Checkout &raquo;</button> <div id="legend"></div> </div> </div> {% endblock %} {% block script %} <script> var capacity = {{ capacity }}; var price = … -
Why the contents of the form changes?

How to prepopulate test database by necessary data?
I need to do some unit tests in my Django project. The problem is that almost every use case depends on prepopulated database objects. For example, I want to create a product and test, if there were all pre_save signals successful. from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django.test import TestCase from .models import Product class ProductTestCase(TestCase): def setUp(self): self.user = User.objects.create(username='test_user') self.product = Product.objects.create(name='Test product',user=self.user) def test_product_exists(self): self.assertIsNotNone(self.product) def product_is_active_by_default(self): ... I can't do that because product has to have User object related. But I can't create a User object because User has to have related plan object. There are multiple plans in my production database from which one is default but there are no plans inside test database. So to be able to do unit tests I need to prepopulate test database with multiple objects from multiple apps. How can I do that? -
Django - display Json or Httpresponse in template

django api - Mongo DB vs sqlite

I am considering moving to Mongo DB but I am finding it diffcult to understand if in addition to all the configuration modifications I will have to change the django api. I trying to minimize the work for this transfer. It is important to say that in the future I might interface with SQL/NOSQL database. is working with Mongo DB still recommended? -
(django) Why do I get an error when adding app to INSTALLED_APPS but not when just importing?
I wrote an app with abstract classes, some utils functions, my common template tags and so on. Somewere I saw it's recommended way to do this stuff to a reusable app. (It's all related to each other.) Why not? It seems to be a good idea. So I made the stuff being part of an app. Since that app has no urls, views and not the normal structur, it's more like a python module. (But it needs django.) When I import this app the normal way (with import myapp on top of the files) it works fine. Looking for bestpractice I saw in the official django tutorial part 8 that's recommended to import apps in INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py. Since I made my utils module being an app I thought I could just add a line to INSTALLED_APPS. Just like this: myapp.apps.MyappConfig. My project structure: project |-... [multiple normal apps] |-myapp [which is my utils app] |-project [the inner folder] |-... [some other stuff] As you can see, myapp, the utils app, is still part of the project (and hasn't been made a reusable app yet.) But when I add that line to INSTALLED_APPS I get the following traceback: Unhandled exception … -
Django passing data from one app to another?
I am using django-allauth for my authentication. I have a dashboard which has many links. example: user.html `{% include 'sidebar.html' %} <h1>Profile View</h1> <p>{{ profile.username }}</p>` change_password.html `{% include 'sidebar.html' %} <h2>Change Password</h2> <p>{{ profile.username }}</p>` sidebar.html `<a href="{% url 'profile_view' slug=profile.username %}">Profile View</a> <a href="{% url 'change_password' %}">Change Password</a>` views.py class ProfileView(DetailView): template_name = "user.html" queryset = User.objects.all() context_object_name = 'profile' slug_field = "username" change password view is from django-allauth. How can i pass the the username from the ProfileView to the change password view so that i can display in the change_password.html page. Main Problem Since i have been including sidebar.html to both the views, it works good in ProfileView but when i navigate to change_password view i get the following error Reverse for 'profile_view' with keyword arguments '{'slug': ''}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['(?P[-\w.@+-]+)/$'] the error does not show in ProfileView because the profile.username returns a value, but when i navigate to change_password view i get the above error because the profile context object only passes in that particular view. i want to use that context_object through out the project. Is there a simple way to do it? other than build a JSON API? -

How to override SearchForm method in Django Haystack
I aim to have my Django Haystack Whoosh search return all results if no results where found. In Haystack documentation I read that I can override the no_query_found method (see below) in my SearchForm to do this. But I have no idea how.

(django) get query of child class
I have a super class like this: class Superclass(models.Model): number = models.PositiveIntegerField() class Meta: abstract = True def get_next(self): return Superclass.objects.get(number=self.number+1) Now, I have a child class that inherits from the superclass. What's the problem? I can't do this: Superclass.objects because the superclass doesn't refer to any database table. I don't want to query all Superclass childs, only the one of the current child class, like this: When I do instance_of_child1.get_next I don't want to get an instance of Child2. How to solve this? My first idea was to add a static constant to any child class that contains the class (So I could do self.myclass.objects) But this seems to be not a good way. Make the method get_next being part of the child class. Problem: there will be duplicates. -

Django autocomplete-light v3 from db
I've already make it directly in HTML page with Jquery but I think isn't a good solution due to the big item list. I think it's better have a huge list stored in the db and than autocompile the field in my case. I want autocompile (with airport name) two field (departure and destination). So in models.py I make two class: class Aero(models.Model): departure = models.CharField(max_length=20) destination = models.CharField(max_length=20) class AirportName(models.Model): air_name= models.CharField(max_length=70) I populate the db with 3000 airport (I use AirportName class to do that). Now I would like that when a user start to digit in departure or destination field (in a form), it will appear the possibile match airport list. I read the documentation but I don't understand how do that, maybe I mistake everything. url.py: url( r'^fly-autocomplete/$', Fly.as_view(), name='fly-autocomplete', ), views.py: class Fly(autocomplete.Select2QuerySetView): def get_queryset(self): form = AeroForm() qs = AirportName.objects.all() if self.q: qs = qs.filter(name__istartswith=self.q) return qs forms.py: class AeroForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Aero fields = ('__all__') widgets = { 'departure': autocomplete.ModelSelect2(url='fly-autocomplete'), 'destination': autocomplete.ModelSelect2(url='fly-autocomplete'), } -
Django: 'ManyToManyDescriptor' object has no attribute 'create'
I have two classes in models.py class Account(models.Model): ... class Profile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) accounts = models.ManyToManyField(Account, blank=True) Now in my views.py I have: def create_account(request): account = Account(symbol=request.POST['symbol']) account.save() However, when the form that calls the create_function is successfully submitted, my Django debug mode throws the error: 'ManyToManyDescriptor' object has no attribute 'create', and SELECT * FROM the relevant table in my database confirms that no row has been added. After searching this error online, I can confirm that this probably has to do with the fact that the Profile class is many-to-many associated with the Account class and that I should be creating Account objects differently, however I am not sure how to do it correctly. -

This is my settings.py: if DEBUG: #For local STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static') MEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media') if DEV: MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media') MEDIA_URL = '/media/' ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = 'http:/127.0.0.1:8000/admin-media/' This is the template itself (attached image is the rendered template itself, which seems correct): <div><img src="{{MEDIA_URL}}products/{{product.filename}}"></div> This is my primary URLS.py (top level, not application specific, but I've added this line in the app specific one as well): urlpatterns = [ url(r'^', include('drivel.urls')), url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), url(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')), ] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) What am I missing? I am down to the wire and can't seem to get this going. I also am open to recos for the production site as I'm new to Django and best practices in production. Environment is Py 2.7, Django 1.8. enter image description here -
