Best approach for integrating Django with an external API using RabbitMQ (Pub/Sub)?
I am developing a decoupled system consisting of two APIs that communicate through RabbitMQ. One API is entirely developed by me using Django, while the other is an external API managed by another developer (I can request changes but don’t have access to its code). The integration works as follows: My Django API publishes a message to Queue A in RabbitMQ. The external API consumes messages from Queue A, processes them, and publishes a response to Queue B. My Django API then consumes messages from Queue B. In this setup: My Django API acts as a publisher for Queue A and a consumer for Queue B. The external API acts as a consumer for Queue A and a publisher for Queue B. I want to validate whether this is a good approach and if there are alternative ways to achieve this communication efficiently. Additionally, if this approach is valid, how should I implement the consumer for Queue B in Django? Where should I place the RabbitMQ consumer so that it integrates well with Django’s ecosystem? How can I ensure it follows Django’s standard execution flow? Would it be best to run it as a separate process, a Django management command, … -
Django OpenTelemetry Logging Error: 'ProxyLogger' object has no attribute 'resource' Azure application insights

django create record under specific circumstances
I have this model: class CommandPositions(models.Model): command = models.ForeignKey(Command, related_name="Positions", on_delete=models.CASCADE) name = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True) responsibility = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True) def save(self, **kwargs): if not self.pk: super(CommandPositions, self).save(**kwargs) else: super(CommandPositions, self).save(**kwargs) I'm stuck on the self.pk. My assumption is self.pk is about the relationship between command and name. There can be multiple command lines with the same command, but different names. how can I check if this is the first time the inbound command is the first time this value is used, regardless of name value? Thanks! -
Django admin always redirected to static react app
I serve a static React app in Django like this: # In /my_django_project/urls.py urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), re_path(r"^(?P<path>.*)$", my_django_app.views.serve_react, {"document_root": settings.REACT_APP_BUILD_PATH})] # In /my_django_app/views.py from django.views.static import serve as static_serve def serve_react(request, path, document_root=None): path = posixpath.normpath(path).lstrip("/") fullpath = pathlib.Path(safe_join(document_root, path)) if fullpath.is_file(): return static_serve(request, path, document_root) else: return static_serve(request, "index.html", document_root) According to Django's documentation, the URLs are matched in the order they are declared in urlpatterns and stop at the first match. But if when I access http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin or http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/, I always get redirected to my static React app homepage, despite the admin/ URL being first in the URL patterns (as if the ordering was not relevant). If I comment out the static_serve line, the admin page get served as expected. Why ? How to make the admin page served ? -
Django View Only Returns JSON Instead of Rendering Template
In my Django views.py, I have a function that is supposed to both render a website and return a JsonResponse. Normally, when I visit the URL, I expect to see the rendered website. However, instead of rendering the template, the only thing I see is the JSON response. def chatbot(request): if request.method == 'POST': message = request.POST.get('message') response = 'hi hi hi' print(message) return JsonResponse({'message': message, 'response':response}) return render(request, 'chatbot.html',{'response':response}) Web site output: web site output -
Image upload corruption with SeaweedFS S3 API
Problem Description I'm experiencing an issue where images uploaded through Django (using boto3) to SeaweedFS's S3 API are corrupted, while uploads through S3 Browser desktop app work correctly.

How to avoid redundant manual assignment of environment variables in Django settings?
In my Django project, I store configuration variables in a .env file for security and flexibility. However, every time I introduce a new environment variable, I have to define it in two places: .env and settings.py. As the project grows and the number of environment variables increases, settings.py gets cluttered with redundant redefinitions of what’s already in .env. Is there a way to automatically load all .env variables into Django’s settings without manually reassigning each one? Ideally, I want any new variable added to .env to be instantly available from settings module without extra code. What I can think of is something like: from dotenv import dotenv_values env_variables = dotenv_values(".envs") globals().update(env_variables) Or even something a little bit better to handle values of type list. for key, value in env_variables.items(): globals()[key] = value.split(",") if "," in value else value # Ensure ALLOWED_HOSTS is always a list ALLOWED_HOSTS = ALLOWED_HOSTS if isinstance(ALLOWED_HOSTS, list) else [ALLOWED_HOSTS] But I do not like to mess around with globals(). -
Django app performance issues with cloud PostgreSQL & Redis
I recently deployed my Django app on Railway, where I set up PostgreSQL and Redis and connected them to my project. However, I’ve noticed a drastic slowdown in query and cache performance compared to running locally—by several orders of magnitude. For example, one of my views executes queries in 2.58ms on my local database but takes 7411.42ms on Railway. Similarly, the same view’s cache time is 24.14ms on local Redis but 2122.14ms on Railway. I expected some performance drop when moving to a cloud-hosted setup, but this level of slowdown seems excessive. Initially, I suspected an incorrect connection setup on Railway, but after testing with Redis Cloud, the performance remained similar to Railway’s Redis. I haven’t tested another cloud database yet. Does anyone have insights into what might be causing such a drastic difference? Here’s my database setup in settings.py: DATABASES = { 'default': dj_database_url.config(default=os.getenv('DATABASE_URL')) } and cache setup: SESSION_ENGINE = "django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache" SESSION_CACHE_ALIAS = "default" SELECT2_CACHE_BACKEND = "select2" CACHES = { "default": { "BACKEND": "django_redis.cache.RedisCache", "LOCATION": REDIS_URL, "OPTIONS": { "CLIENT_CLASS": "django_redis.client.DefaultClient", } }, 'select2': { "BACKEND": "django_redis.cache.RedisCache", "LOCATION": REDIS_URL, "OPTIONS": { "CLIENT_CLASS": "django_redis.client.DefaultClient", } } } Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How to properly connect PostgreSQL with Django?

I also verified that my credentials are correct. What could be the issue? -
Django ManyToMany Relationship Not Returning First Available Size in View
I am working on a Django e-commerce project where a product can have multiple sizes. However, I am facing an issue where, if no size is explicitly selected by the user, the system should automatically take the first available size of the product. Currently, it always returns "No Size", even though sizes exist for the product.

Trouble setting PORT in Django/Heroku Procfile using Waitress
I'm trying to deploy my Django application with Heroku (on Windows), and using Waitress (because Gunicorn no longer runs on Windows??). When I hard coded the PORT number, I was able to run it fine. When I try to define PORT in the Procfile as an environment variable Procfile: web: waitress-serve --port=$PORT [projectname].wsgi:application .env WEB_CONCURRENCY=2 PORT=$PORT settings.py import environ from environ import Env ... PORT = env('PORT') running "heroku local" produces ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '$PORT' I keep seeing mention that "$PORT" is not appropriate for Windows. However I can't figure out what I'm missing. I've seen suggestions that "%PORT%" would work for Windows, but I haven't had success. If there is a Windows friendly syntax, would I need to use it in both .env and Procfile? -

Django app works locally but shows "Unhandled Exception" on PythonAnywhere (Logs available)
Link to the youtube video: https://youtu.be/iJrUiem10iI I have developed a Django application that includes features like downloading YouTube videos (using yt-dlp) and potentially converting file formats. The Problem: The application runs perfectly fine on my local machine using python manage.py runserver. I can access the views, for example at http://127.0.0.1:8000/converter/, and the functionality works as expected. However, after deploying the application to PythonAnywhere (using the free tier), I encounter an error. When I try to access my site at https://kristjan.pythonanywhere.com/ or the specific app URL https://kristjan.pythonanywhere.com/converter/, I get a generic PythonAnywhere error page stating: Something went wrong :-( Something went wrong while trying to load this website; please try again later. Error code: Unhandled Exception Self-note: The error page provides links to logs, which should contain the specific traceback.

Why do filters affect the result of StringAgg?
I'm using StringAgg and order as follows: # Get order column & annotate with list of credits if request.POST.get('order[0][name]'): order = request.POST['order[0][name]'] if order == 'credits_primary': releases = releases.annotate(credits_primary=StringAgg( 'credits__entity__name', delimiter=', ', filter=Q(credits__type='primary'), ordering='credits__id' )) elif order == 'credits_secondary': releases = releases.annotate(credits_secondary=StringAgg( 'credits__entity__name', delimiter=', ', filter=Q(credits__type='secondary'), ordering='credits__id' )) else: order = 'title' # Order releases if request.POST.get('order[0][dir]') == 'desc': releases = releases.order_by(F(order).desc(nulls_last=True), 'title') else: releases = releases.order_by(F(order).asc(nulls_last=True), 'title') for release in releases: try: print(release.credits_primary) except: pass try: print(release.credits_secondary) except: pass This in itself works exactly as expected: the ordering is what I expect, and print returns the values I expect. However, when I apply filters before this, it starts behaving strangely. Namely, sometimes it's fine and still works as expected, sometimes each credits__entity__name is repeated a random number of times, sometimes the annotation just returns None even though there are values. I can't figure out a pattern here. Below are the filters I'm applying, note that exclude as far as I can tell does not cause this problem: if request.POST.get('entity'): releases = Release.objects.filter(credits__entity=request.POST['entity']) else: releases = Release.objects.all() records_total = releases.count() # Filter by type if request.POST.get('type'): query = Q() for type in loads(request.POST['type']): if type in Release.TYPES_P_TO_S: query.add(Q(type=Release.TYPES_P_TO_S[type]), Q.OR) releases … -
Why is the data-tags attribute not preserved in my Django form widget? autoComplete DAL Select2
I'm using a CharField with a custom widget (ListSelect2) from the django-autocomplete-light library. I have a set of data-* attributes, including data-tags, that I want to be passed to the HTML output, but it doesn't seem like the data-tags attribute is being preserved or rendered correctly in the final after form is saved. industry_type = forms.CharField( widget=autocomplete.ListSelect2( url='/career-listings/industry-autocomplete/', attrs={ 'class': 'w-full px-4 py-2 border border-gray-300 rounded-lg shadow-sm focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500 focus:border-blue-500 transition duration-200', 'data-placeholder': 'Industry', 'data-minimum-input-length': 1, 'data-theme': 'tailwindcss-3', 'data-tags': 'true', # The attribute I'm trying to preserve 'id': 'id_industry_type', }, forward=['name'], ), required=True, ) What happens instead: The data-tags attribute does not appear in the HTML after form is saved. The field Things I've tried: I added data-tags to the attrs dictionary of the widget. I ensured that the widget is being properly rendered in the template. The data only data-tags is not preserved on form is submitted. -
Getting list of distinct ManyToManyField objects
Given these models: class Format(models.Model): name = models.CharField(unique=True) # More fields... class Release(models.Model): formats = models.ManyToManyField(Format, blank=True) # More fields... When I have a queryset of Releases (e.g. through releases = Release.objects.filter(foo='bar')), how do I get a list of the formats in that queryset, as objects and distinct? Neither of the following achieve this: # produces a list of dicts with IDs, not distinct e.g. [ { 'formats': 1 }, { 'formats': 2 }, { 'formats': 1 } ]: formats = releases.values('formats') # produces a list of IDs, not distinct, e.g. [ 1, 2, 1 ]: formats = releases.aggregate(arr=ArrayAgg('platforms'))['arr'] The only way I can think of is manually creating a list by looping through the IDs, checking if it already exists in the list, and if not adding it with formats.append(Format.objects.get(id=the_id)), but I would really like to avoid doing that, if possible. -

in my webpage, i update the request details to approve or reject. but it does not change in the status and still shows pending. the problem is, in my terminal it says PATCH so I though that means change and the database has been changed. but when I run my SQL shell, it still shows pending . what would the problem be? this is my handlestatusupdate code in the frontend: **const handleStatusUpdate = async (newStatus: 'approved' | 'rejected') => { if (!selectedRequest?.id) return; try { const response = await fetch(`${API_URL}/requests/${selectedRequest.id}/`, { method: 'PATCH', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, body: JSON.stringify({ status: newStatus }), }); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error('Failed to update request status'); } const updatedRequest = await response.json(); setRequests(requests.map(req => req.id === selectedRequest.id ? updatedRequest : req )); setShowModal(false); } catch (err: any) { setError(err.message || 'Failed to update status'); } }; ** what other code would i need to share? the backend? -
