NameError: name '_mysql' is not defined on Mac A1 Monterey
I am trying to include mysql into my django and face the error of in <module> version_info, _mysql.version_info, _mysql.__file__ NameError: name '_mysql' is not defined I think this might be an error due to the new M1 chip and mac OS system, but I can't figure out how to fix it. (I am using mac Monterey with M1 chip.) Here is the package version: mysql-connector-python 8.0.29 mysqlclient 2.1.1 mysql Ver 8.0.29 for macos12.2 on x86_64 (Homebrew) Python 3.8.9 I've read it somewhere about my python needs to be at the homebrew directory, but not sure how to do it. which python3 /usr/bin/python3 I've also seen other solution of using arch -x86_64 brew install mysql It didnt work for me. here is my .zshrc file now export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:$PATH" export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH" export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/mysql/lib:$PATH" export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python@3.8/bin:$PATH" and here is my bash_profile export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:$PATH" export PATH="/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin:$PATH" export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH" -
How to send email list over django using model's ArrayField
I habe a Group model: class Group(models.Model): leader = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) name = models.CharField(max_length=55) description = models.TextField() joined = models.ManyToManyField(User, blank=True) email_list = ArrayField( models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True), blank=True, default=list, ) When Users join or leave Groups, I have their email either added or removed from the email_list via this view: def join_group(request, pk): id_user = request.user.id group = Group.objects.get(id=request.POST.get('group_id')) account = Account.objects.get(user_id=id_user) if group.joined.filter(id=request.user.id).exists(): group.joined.remove(request.user) account.joined_groups.remove(group) group.email_list.remove(account.user.email) else: group.joined.add(request.user) account.joined_groups.add(group) group.email_list.append(account.user.email) return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('group_detail', args=[str(pk)])) And this works to the best of my knowledge. The issue comes when I want to send a mass email out to everyone in the mailing list. I have a url path('group/<int:pk>/notifications/', notifications, name='send_notifications'), that I access from my GroupDetail view: <a href="{% url 'send_notifications' group.pk %}">SEND NOTIFICATIONS</a> But I get this error when trying to render my notifications view: Group matching query does not exist. The reason I didn't ask about this error is because I believe I know where the issue is coming from -- the first line in my notifications view: def notifications(request, pk): group = Group.objects.get(id=request.POST.get('group_id')) if request.method == 'POST': subject = request.POST['subject'] message = request.POST['message'] recipients = group.email_list for recipient in recipients: send_mail ( subject, message, NOTIFICATION_EMAIL, [recipient], fail_silently=False ) return render(request, … -
Test a data migration ManyToMany in Django
I tried to add a field to my ManyToMany relationship models in Django. So step by step, I created the new model and apply makemigrations and migrate. I checked I have the new table in my postgresql database. Now before I will add the through keyword in the ManyToMany field I want to write a function in the migration file that will copy the old data of the previous ManyToMany table to the new one with the additional field. I followed a solution explained here: Django migration error :you cannot alter to or from M2M fields, or add or remove through= on M2M fields I want to test the function that will migrate the data in a test function but I don't understand to do. here my code: survey/models: class Survey(BaseModel): name = models.CharField(max_length=256, help_text='Survey name') user = models.ManyToManyField(User, blank=True, help_text='patient') survey/models: class SurveyStatus(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) survey = models.ForeignKey(Survey, on_delete=models.CASCADE) survey_status = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank=True, null=True, choices=STATUS_SURVEY_CHOICES, ) The function I wrote that need to copy the data from the previous M2M to the new one is the following one: def create_through_relations(apps, schema_editor): Survey = apps.get_model('survey', 'Survey') SurveyStatus = apps.get_model('survey', 'SurveyStatus') for survey in Survey.objects.all(): for user in survey.user.all(): … -

Celery configuration on uwsgi not working
I have a Django project that I'm trying to move on my production VM. I'm using uWSGI and nginx and I succeeded in configuring it so that my website is available. Now I'm trying to start my Celery worker which is also needed. I saw on uWSGI docs that in order to configure Celery, the following should be added to the configuration file : [uwsgi] master = true socket = :3031 smart-attach-daemon = /tmp/celery.pid celery -A tasks worker --pidfile=/tmp/celery.pid I then ended up with this : [uwsgi] chdir = /home/xxx/ScriptsApp/src/ module = main.wsgi home = /home/xxx/ScriptsApp/venv master = true processes = 10 socket = /home/xxx/ScriptsApp/src/scriptsApp.sock chmod-socket = 666 vacuum = true daemonize = /home/xxx/uwsgi-emperor.log # Celery smart-attach-daemon = %(chdir)tmp/celery.pid celery -A main worker --pidfile=%(chdir)tmp/celery.pid However, when running it, Celery isn't running, while if I run celery -A main worker in my virtual environment, Celery is correctly running. I've just started using linux/uwsgi so I may have messed up somewhere in the process but I'm unable to find where, even though I've tried every possible solutions that I found. Thanks in advance for your help ! -
Way to deploy django with webpack loader with vue.js

Are there any services that allow this? For django I have always used pythonanywhere as hosting but in this case is it possible? Are there any hosting services that allow django to easily deploy with the webpack loader with vuejs? -

Which Django field should I use for longitude and latitude?
I am saving longitude and latitude as FloatField. But when I tried to use them on JS in the array I figured out that FloatField separates with a comma instead of a dot as should be on latitude or longitude. So it acts like four different elements in js. js: map.on('load', () => { 'coordinates': [ [{{tour.departure.city.longitude}},{{tour.departure.city.latitude}}], [{{tour.arrival.city.longitude}},{{tour.arrival.city.latitude}}], // it will be like [ 23, 0534 , 42, 1534] // but should be like [ 23.0534 , 42.1534] ] }); models.py class Tour(models.Model): latitude = models.FloatField(blank=True, null=True, verbose_name=_("Latitude")) longitude= models.FloatField(blank=True, null=True, verbose_name=_("Longitude")) I tried to save with dot but Django converted it to the comma. -

Show all comments from a specific user in django
I am trying to consolidate all the comments, on various products, from the logged in user in an "Account" page. My initial plan was to request all comments from the user id. Because I created a Profile model, I thought the right way to approach this was to link it to the profile id, and not directly to the use id. Obviously, it's not working. Am I close to it? or should I think of it completely differently? (new to programming, as you can see on the code) Starting with my models.py class ReviewRating(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User,blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) product=models.ForeignKey(Product,related_name="comments", on_delete=models.CASCADE) review=models.TextField(max_length=250) def __str__(self): return '%s - %s - %s'%(self.user, self.product, self.date_added) class Profile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) general_reviews = models.ForeignKey(ReviewRating,null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) def str(self): return str(self.user) Views.py def account(response, profile_id): generalreviews_list = Profile.general_reviews.objects.all(pk=profile_id) return render(response,"main/account.html", {'generalreviews_list':generalreviews_list}) URLS path("account/<profile_id>/", views.account, name="account"), -

Django admin login redirects to admin login with a 302
I have a new django 4 app, and when I try to login to the admin, I am redirected to the login page. This is in development, so localhost, with no SSL.

I'm a bit lost, it's a very opaque error, just an infinite loop of 302s back to login. -

Changing a ForeignKey to a be the parent class/model
I have a situation where there are various entities, with ForeignKeys to models that are subclasses of another model. I need to update these FKs to point to the parent, so that any of the various subclasses could be linked. For example, the code might be: class School(Model): ... class University(School): ... class Student(Model): university = ForeignKey(University) ... and I need to change that FK from Student to University, to be an FK to School. I think that all Universities will have the same ID as the School that is in the database for that university. So is it safe/reliable to define the Student: class Student(Model): university = ForeignKey(University) school = ForeignKey(School) Then make a migration that creates the new school attribute, and uses RunPython to copy the id from university into school, then delete the university attribute and makemigrations for that? Is it ever possible that this method would break, or produce bad data? -

Django: How to get the first time a user logged in within 24 hours in django
In Django, we can get the time a user last logged in by using Auth.User.last_login. That is only updated when the user logs in using his username/password. This would be useful for queries such as getting the number of new records since the last visit. Users can log out and also login multiple times in a day, now I want to get the first time a user logged in, in a day and store it in a model in the db. How do I achieve this functionality? -

Now for each book we need to create one/more records (depending on the author ids provided) in the AuthorBookAssn table. What is the best way to do this and can the create be done in bulk. Currently the approach is to get the author objects for each of the ids in the list and then call AuthorBookAssn.objects.create(book=book_instance,author=author_instance) -

Test whether a Django migration has been applied to a DB
