What is the best practice to store big sparse matrices in a django project?
I am finishing a public transport project that is using Dijkstra's algorithm. The algorithm is using adjacency matrices, with amount of nodes exceeding thousands -> propably going to scale this 10-100x, my matrices are sparse - <10% of non-zero values. The data is supposed to be updated once a day and is read-only. Since each of these values are evaluated multiple times per search, right now, I store non-zero values in the database, then create a matrix and save it as json file(n-lists of n-values), which is open and read every time the algorithm is run. What is the best practice to store and load this type of data? Should I store non-zero values the same way and just create sparse matrices with numpy and save it as HDF5 files? Would the HDF5 files introduce reading latency? I would like the final project to consist of 20-50k nodes, grouped into 1-5k matrices for each city and to be able to withstand something along the lines of a search a second. -

Django filter qs contains filename not working with underscores
my goal is to filter if the name of an uploaded document contains a search (a simple string from an input field submitted by the user). Strangely this works for long substring but not for short ones. Example My filter query is the following: Tab.objects.filter(document__file__icontains=search) where Tab is in simplest form a Model class like: class Tab(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50) and Document is another Model class wit a relation to Tabs and a file field. class Document(models.Model): tab = models.ForeignKey(Tab, on_delete=models.CASCADE) file = models.FileField(upload_to=custom_location) Weird behavior I've uploaded a file called example_test_123.pdf and if my search = example_test or test_123.pdf it results in a hit like expected. However, if search = test the filter doesn't find the file. Is this behaviour known or am I missing something here? Is it possible that the built-in name file is doing some trouble? Thanks.

Using django templates to try to display an image
I'm trying to get an image to display on my webpage. I created a static folder in journal and a media folder within that to store my images. I have then attempted to display this image with the following code in my base.html file which i've used at my general template. <img src="{% static "journal/media/Solirius_logo.jpg" %}" alt="Logo" /> But PyCharm is telling me the tag is not closed referencing the start of the url path.Image on webpage -

Slurm web interface
i'm working on a project for my company, and i'm trying to do a web interface in order to integrate different tools like Slurm, Zabbix, Nagios, etc... The first thing i'm trying to do is to integrate Slurm to give to a user the possibility to submit jobs, see the resources allocated and other infos. I think the best method to to achive this is program my web interface to dialogate with the RestAPI of Slurm and get all the infos to display and submit jobs with that. What do you think about that? There are other better choices to do that? -
extra select field not returning from django-rest serializer's create() method

Django middleware runs twice because of request to jsi18n
Running an extremely simple piece of middleware on django 3.2, I display notifications to users before every page loads. The code to do this looks like his: from django.contrib import messages class ChangeNotifierMiddleware(object): def __init__(self, get_response): self.get_response = get_response def __call__(self, request): messages.add_message(request, messages.INFO,"test") response = self.get_response(request) The issue however, is just like in Django: custom middleware called twice, this middleware is executed twice per request. This only happens in the django admin interface, and not because of requests to the favicon, but because of requests to /admin/jsi18n/. That makes the cause for this issue different (I did not specify any urls for jsi18n anywhere) The result of all this is that on the front-end of my side, i get a single notification saying "test", as it should be. On the backend/admin interface, I get two notifications saying "test". How can i make django middleware run only once before a page loads, is there a way to guarantee the code only runs once? -
Connect to OpenVPN in Django and nginx
I have a Django app that talks to a 3rd party API, however, in order for the requests to succeed, an OpenVPN tunnel must be oppened. Locally, I do that using the OpenVPN GUI which has the certificate, however I'm not sure how to do the same thing when the app is deployed in a Docker container. I've tried importing the certificate in the store, but that doesn't work. Should I open the connection every time I want to send a request to the 3rd party API? -

What are the best methods to create migrations on an already started project?
I have a medium sized project in my hands, with about 20 models, some many2many fields. I tried with --fake, recreating the migrations, deleting django_migrations etc etc. Every time I have problems involving existing fields. Obviously I can't delete the data inside, but I find myself unable to add a field or share the code because all my collaborators obviously have different migrations. Do you know methods to apply on an already started project? -
How to update django model automatically on due date?
I am trying to create a task manager app in Django.

How can I automatically reschedule the task for the number of days the user has chosen? -
Print dict in Django Template
I have a dict defined like that: table_data = [{'aircraft': <Aircraft: P28A I-ASTV>, 'row_data': [{'colspan': 2, 'booking_obj': <Booking: I-ASTV 2022-03-11 08:00:00 09:00:00>}, {'colspan': 4, 'booking_obj': <Booking: I-ASTV 2022-03-11 09:00:00 11:00:00>},...}]}] I am printing in my template with some like that: {% for row in table_data %} <tr> <th class="bg-primary border border-info">{{row.aircraft.registration}}</th> #This is working correctly {% for c, b in row.row_data %} <td colspan="">{{b}}</td> #This line just prints booking_obj {% endfor %} </tr> {% endfor %} but what I am trying to achieve is to display the actual key value (like, for example, the booking date), instead in my template I just see either colspan or booking_obj. I already tried with something like: {% for c, b in row.row_data.items %} <td colspan="">{{b}}</td> #This line just prints booking_obj {% endfor %} but it didn't work. Is there any way I can access the dict value properly? -
Make non-model field disabled or readonly in djnago admin based on condition

Request updating the state with an invalid payload in Django unit tests
a small question about Django unit tests. I'm only just starting out with Django so apologies if this might sound like a beginner question.

Understanding Django coming from R Shiny?
First of all, my apologies if this isn't the best place to ask this. My question isn't looking for an opinion of which one is better, but rather understanding what is going on as I am completely lost. I am familiar with R Shiny and its concept of reactivity, just writing a whole HTML page with the objects linked to functions all in one go. I am now trying to understand Django, but it has proven quite difficult for me throughout the tutorials. Background: Deployed basic apps internally at company using Shiny - the apps use authentication, collect data, push/pull to AWS S3, one linked to SQL database as well. Use HTML, SCSS and Javascript with Shiny. Know python to do Machine learning with it, now I am wanting to translate one of my apps to Django. In Shiny, I can literally use functions that will generate HTML and CSS once the app is running. I can describe "make a div here, with a button inside it, when the user presses it, change the background color of the div, wait 5 seconds and go back to original color". Shiny will then generate the HTML and use reactivity to check if …
