Django production multiple post request
I have a question regarding the multiple handling of django. I have read the answers to this question How does Django handle multiple requests?. I wrote a django application and it is deployed which takes POST request and do some string splitting in the background and returns the results on the side. My problem would be that if two users sent two POST request (from two different clients), then the process is slowed down dramatically and I only see one process in my Apache server. I am not sure whether Django handles just a request at a time and I could not distribute the process properly. Is a asynchronical restructuring necessary? Thanks -
How do I add packages to an existing docker container using pipenv
I currently have a Django app running in a docker container and I want to install additional packages to the container without rebuilding the entire container. I've tried bringing up the container using: docker-compose up then docker-compose exec web pipenv install "package_name_here" what happens is the package installs but I lose it the moment I shut down the container. How do I persist the installation even after shutting down the container without also rebuilding the entire container? -
django and mypy with apps in a subfolder
We have a Django project with the following setup: We have our apps in an apps folder. We added all those apps to the python path at settings.py level. We then can refer and import these apps like so: from apps.booking.models import Booking # or from booking.models import Booking Now, we want to use mypy for type checking purposes. The issue is that mypy does not recognize the import from booking.models import Booking and complains about missing stubs for this module. This make the typing very unreliable and not very useful as Booking is then typed as Any. It works fine with an import as follow however from apps.booking.models import Booking Is there a way to make mypy understand the path without the prefix apps. ? I tried to use mypy_path = $MYPY_CONFIG_FILE_DIR/apps in mypy.ini but without any success... -

Update a geodjango field after surface computation

The @login_required decoration is not working in Django (user not authenticated?)
I am new to Django and I am trying to set up a login page and I am trying to use the @login_required decoration. However, whenever I try and log in with valid credentials I am re-directed to the 'login' page (set to re-direct unauthenticated users). I am not sure if the problem is in the @login_required decoration or perhaps the login() function is not authenticating the user Here is my code for the register form: class RegisterForm(forms.ModelForm): password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput()) confirm_password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput()) class Meta: model = User fields = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'username', 'email', 'password'] code for login function in views.py: def login_user(request): if request.method =="GET": return render(request, "main/login.html", {}) else: username = escape(request.POST['userfield']) password = escape(request.POST['passfield']) try: user = User.objects.get(username=username) except: user = None if user is None: try: user = User.objects.get(email=username) except: user = None if user is None: messages.info(request, "*Sorry, that username or email does not exist") return redirect('login') pword = user.password if check_password(password, pword): login(request, user) return redirect('homepage') else: messages.info(request, '*Sorry, that was an incorrect password') return redirect('login') my model for User in models.py: class User(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) username = models.CharField(max_length=100) email = models.EmailField(unique=True) password = models.CharField(max_length=100) admin = models.BooleanField(default=False) last_login … -
Can I make a Django query that returns a list per item?
I have 3 models like this: class Person(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Place(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) # ManyToMany Through Table class PersonPlace(models.Model): person = models.ForeignKey(Person, on_delete=models.CASCADE) place = models.ForeignKey(Place, on_delete=models.CASCADE) PersonPlace links Person and Place in a ManyToMany relationship. I want a database query that will give me a list of place id's per person (a list of places every person has visited). Is it possible to make that aggregation through the ORM without having Python put this together? -
How can I allow my dictionary to accept duplicate keys [closed]

Objects of model does not have primary key
Good morning, unfortunately I can't get out of a problem found in the code: I created a new model to distinguish between sales orders and purchase orders. The problem is that in no way is a primary key recognized when I create the object in question. Through the admin section I create the object but if I try to click on it, it is not recognized, nor can I delete it. Through Robo 3T I notice that compared to the orders of the first model, the second model has one less field, the one related to the id. The models in question are virtually identical, but one works, the other doesn't. models.py from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django.conf import settings from django.utils import timezone class Profile(models.Model): user_profile=models.ForeignKey(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE) btc=models.IntegerField(default=5) usd=models.IntegerField(default=100000) initial_balance=models.IntegerField() class Order(models.Model): profile=models.ForeignKey(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE) datetime=models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now()) price=models.FloatField() quantity=models.FloatField() class SellOrder(models.Model): buyer_profile=models.ForeignKey(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE) buyer_datetime=models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now()) buyer_price=models.FloatField() buyer_quantity=models.FloatField() views.py from django.shortcuts import render,redirect,get_object_or_404 from django.contrib.auth import authenticate,login,logout from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm from django.contrib import messages from .models import Profile,Order, SellOrder from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt from .forms import OrderForm, SellOrderForm import requests def home_page(request): price=get_price() return render(request,'app/home_page.html',{'price':price}) @csrf_exempt def register_user(request): price=get_price() if request.method=='POST': form=UserCreationForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() username=form.cleaned_data['username'] password=form.cleaned_data['password1'] user=authenticate(username=username,password=password) login(request,user) messages.success(request,"Registration Successful!") … -
Check if specific channel name exists (is connected) in Django Channels
I'm using Django Channels and need to limit the maximum number of currently active connections by a single user. I'm storing data about present users with django-channels-presence. Basically, I add and remove db records whenever connect and disconnect methods on my consumer are called. That works well unless there's a server crash or reload and I'm looking for a better way to determine currently connected users. Specifically, I'm trying to check if a specific channel name (which is stored in the database record) exists and is connected. Hoped to find some method for it on the channel_layer object (it's returned with get_channel_layer() function), but no luck there. -
Session are not passing between function
I have been trying to pass data between the functions using sessions. The problem is that while testing locally it works perfectly, while testing the same in a development server it doesnt works.

Development server is simply running using manage.py runserver. What might be the possible cause of it? -

Cannot open any page when implemented next parameter in Django 3.2
I am using Django 3.2. I have my custom LoginView and I'd like to implement the next parameter so if somebody will try to access the page where login is required then after log-in it will redirect the user to this page. I have seen many solutions but they are old and I cannot implement them in my code. views.py class UpdatedLoginView(LoginView, CategoryMixin, TagMixin): form_class = LoginForm template_name = 'user/login.html' redirect_field_name='main/homepage.html' def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): form = self.form_class(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): if 'next' in request.POST: return redirect(request.POST.get('next')) else: return(redirect('homepage')) else: return render(request, self.redirect_field_name, {'form': form}) class HomePageView(LoginRequiredMixin, TemplateView): template_name = "main/homepage.html" login.html <form method="post" novalidate> {% csrf_token %} {{ form|crispy }} {% if request.GET.next %} <input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ request.GET.next }}"/> {% endif %} <button type="submit">Login</button> </form> settings.py LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'homepage' LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = 'login' The problem with my solution is that it redirects me to homepage but once I click on any hyperlink it redirects me to login page again and the url looks like this: http://127.0.0.1:8000/?login=/article_list/ In all my views I am using LoginRequiredMixin mixin.

Django tests self.client.post using wrong url
I have a test which throws a NoReverseMatch exeption. In the test I define the url add_collection_url = reverse('add-cc-collection', args=[client.code, order.code]) and I can check that the url is found print(add_collection_url) which finds the correct url /crm/clients/A00001/order/O00001/add-cc-collection/ However, on the next line I post to the url response = self.client.post(add_collection_url, {'order': order.id, 'deadline': deadline, 'instructions': "Some instructions etc"}) and this line throws the exception django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'add-collection' not found. 'add-collection' is not a valid view function or pattern name. note the reference to 'add-collection', which was the name of the url before I changed it to 'add-cc-collection'. When I run the server everything works as it should, it's just the test which throws the exception. My guess is something weird happening with caching but, for what it's worth I make sure to cache.clear() in TestCase tearDown
