django 3rd party API Event Loop?
I'm quite new to back-end development so please forgive my ignorance. I need to connect my Django backend to a 3rd party API to fetch live location data from GPS trackers. This needs to be done server side as it triggers other events, so it can't just be run in the browser. What's the best way to go about doing this please? So far I have thought of something like an event loop which calls the API every 60 seconds, but can I run this on a separate thread for example? Is that even the best thing to do? Is it possible to do something like a websocket form my backend to the 3rd party? What's the best way of keeping this data updated? Finally, how does a solution like this scale, what if I had 5,000 vehicle trackers which all needed updating? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -
Can't use assertTemplateUsed with unitest.TestCase
Please help, i'm fairly new to Django and not sure what's the best way to proceed with my unit-tests. So, i have a large django app, and it has dozens of views-methods, and the postgresql schemas get pretty complex. I've read that if I use "from django.test import TestCase" then the test database is flushed after running each unit-test. I wanted to prevent from flushing the db in between unit-tests within the same class, so i started using "from unittest import TestCase". That did the trick and the db is preserved in between unit-tests, but now the statement self.assertTemplateUsed(response, 'samplepage.html') gives me errors AttributeError: 'TestViews' object has no attribute 'assertTemplateUsed'. What can I do? Is there an alternative to 'assertTemplateUsed' that can be used with unittest.TestCase? Many thanks in advance! -
How to extend an IIS request - Django
How can I extend the waiting time for e.g. downloading a file? I use ISS and tried to change the Request Timeout from 90 to 300 in FastCGI Settings, but that didn't help. If the file download request takes longer than 90 seconds, I have a 500 error. The entire site is based on python / Django. -

Django adding colon to the path out of nowhere
I have a pretty simple Django project based on the one from the tutorial that I am slowly morphing into my own app. It was working fine locally. I tried to deploy it to Heroku, so I made a few changes, but it was still working fine locally (I am still working on getting it to work on Heroku). But then I ran it once more and out of nowhere I am getting this error: Invalid argument: 'C:\\Users\\cusack\\PycharmProjects\\pythonProject\\website\\:\\index.html' So it is adding :\\ or \\: to the path for some reason. I have looked at settings.py, views.py, urls.py, and I can't find anywhere where I have told it to do this. My urls.py file looks (partially) like this: urlpatterns = [ path('', views.index, name='index'), path('images/random.png',views.my_image,name='randomImage'), path('admin/', admin.site.urls) ] The main page and admin both give this error, but 'images/random.png' works just fine. For the admin page, it is adding the extra :\\ before admin\\index.html. My views.py for this index is trivial: def index(request): return render(request, 'index.html') It happened when I was playing around with DEBUG and ALLOWED_HISTS, although changing them back to True and [] didn't seem to help. Any idea where this could be coming from? -
Because a cookie’s SameSite attribute was not set or is invalid, it defaults to SameSite=Lax

Python Django "surrogates not allowed" error on model.save() call when text includes emoji character
We are currently in the process of building a system that stores text in a PostgreSQL DB via Django. The data gets then extracted via PGSync to ElasticSearch. At the moment we have encountered the following issue in a testcase Error Message: UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode characters in position 159-160: surrogates not allowed We identified the character that causes that issue. It is an emoji. The text itself is a mixture of Greek Characters, "English Characters" and as it seems emojis. The greek is not shown as greek, but instead in the \u form. Relevant Text that causes the issue: \u03bc\u03b5 Some English Text \ud83d\ude9b\n#SomeHashTag \ud83d\ude9b\ translates to this emoji:🚛 As it says here: https://python-list.python.narkive.com/aKjK4Jje/encoding-of-surrogate-code-points-to-utf-8 The definition of UTF-8 prohibits encoding character numbers between U+D800 and U+DFFF, which are reserved for use with the UTF-16 encoding form (as surrogate pairs) and do not directly represent characters. PostgreSQL has the following encodings: Default:UTF8 Collate:en_US.utf8 Ctype:en_US.utf8 Is this an utf8 issue? or specific to emoji? Is this a django or postgresql issue? -
django ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'debug-toolbar'
I just tried to install the django-debug-toolbar. I believe I followed all the steps as indicated in the docs. I am using docker, so I included the following in my settings: if os.environ.get('DEBUG'): import socket hostname, _, ips = socket.gethostbyname_ex(socket.gethostname()) INTERNAL_IPS = [ip[: ip.rfind(".")] + ".1" for ip in ips] + ["127.0.0.1", "10.0.2.2"] After installing, I ran docker-compose build then docker-compose up -d. docker-compose logs and docker-compose exec web python manage.py collectstatic show the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'debug-toolbar' The only thing I think I did differently from the docs is that I use pipenv. I exited docker-compose and then installed via pipenv install django-debug-toolbar. Debug toolbar is in my pipfile. FWIW I'm never sure if I'm supposed to exit docker-compose before install a module via pipenv (or if it matters). -

Formset with request.post not initializing correctly
I am having an issue using formsets and request.POST. Whenever I initialize the formset without request.POST it works as intended, but will not send the data through as the form is never valid. If I include request.POST (as I have done on all my other forms in the view) the formset doesn't seem to initialize correctly. No data gets through, I can't see any form fields, and I get a html warning saying: (Hidden field TOTAL_FORMS) This field is required. (Hidden field INITIAL_FORMS) This field is required. Here is a very simplified version of what I am doing in my project. This is bare minimum and the project itself is much more involved. But this should be the heart of the problem I am having. The intent of this very basic form is that my formset would have 3 forms, each one initialized with a letter, 'a', then 'b', then 'c'. views.py def MyView(request): my_formset = formset_factory(my_form) my_list = ['a', 'b', 'c'] if request.method == 'POST': my_formset = formset(request.POST, initial=[{'field1':x} for x in my_list]) #If I remove 'request.POST' then the form initializes correctly, but will never pass .is_valid() if my_formset.is_valid(): print('valid') else: print('invalid') else: my_formset = formset(initial=[{'field1':x} for x in … -

Does python web frameworks like Flask/Django have a build process?
I have recently started learning CI/CD concepts. In the tutorials, they used a react website to show the build stage. I was wondering do we have a build phase for applications developed using frameworks like Django/flask? For these applications, we generally run a single command to start the application directly from source code like: python manage.py runserver python app.py Also, in general, is to possible (and okay?) for a web application not to have a build phase? Any knowledge here would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
