Django REST get() returned more than one object
I'm trying to use nested serializers to get a response which includes fields from two models. However i get this error get() returned more than one Location -- it returned more than 20! When looking for a solution it seems that this error comes up when using get but in my view i use filter instead. I am trying to understand what part of the code causes the error.

Django count conditionally annotated values in "group-by" statement
Having the following models: class TheModel(models.Model): created_at = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now) class Item(models.Model): the_model = models.ForeignKey(TheModel, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='items') How can be calculated the number of models and how many of them have more than 2 items grouped by day?

How to set the admin site inline choice field fixed based on the index of the inline
My current situation: I have created a model with an inline. With min_num and max_num, I can decide how many inlines a model will have. These values come from the length of a tuple I use inside the inline model. The inline model: In the picture, you can see the inline model has 4 inlines, but the difficulty field is 4 times the same. What I expect: I want the difficulty to be set to the index of the inlines (inline 0 matches tuple 0 no sport level, ...). So the option to change the difficulty shouldn't be possible as well. -
How to make a model field equal to a queryset result
I am new to django and coding in general. I have this project that I am trying to code thats basically an auctions website. I am facing some difficulties structuring the models though. Here are 2 models of all models class Listing(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=64) image = models.URLField(null=True, blank=True) description = models.CharField(max_length=64) starting_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2) current_price = #highest bid price bids_count = #count of bids lister = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="listings") def __str__(self): return f"Title: {self.title} ({self.id}), Lister: {self.lister.username}" class Bid(models.Model): listing = models.ForeignKey(Listing, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="bids") bidder = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, related_name="bids") amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=7, decimal_places=2) time = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) def __str__(self): return f"Bid by {self.bidder.username} on {self.listing.title} ({self.listing.id}) for an amount of {self.amount}" I am trying to let the current price equal to the highest bid of that listing current_price = Listing.bid.objects.all().aggregate(Max("amount")) And count the number of bids bids_count = Listing.bid.count() I know we cant place querysets inside models fields like I have done but i did it to demonstrate my issue. Surely there is some way around this but I just cant figure it out. -
django testing serializer got an unexpected keyword argument 'data'
I have a serializer like this: class ExampleSerializer(serializers.Serializer): name = serializer.CharField(require=True) An a test like this: class TestExampleSerializer(TestCase): def test_example_serializer(self): ExampleSerializer(data={'name': 'test_name'}) I see in a lot of places (guides, posts...) that it should works in that way, calling the serializer with 'data' keyword, but I have an error precisely in that point: TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'data' I see many examples and all looks the same to me, so, what I'm doing bad? The configuration is correct because there's other serializers tested and they works, I don't know why mine not. -
Display a different user's information in a profile (Not the logged in user's)
I'm working on a project for school, it's sort of mini-stackoverflow. So, I have a section where users are able to click on the creator of a post, and it'll take then to a page where they can see said user's information and all the posts they have created. So, so far the code for the user posts list is perfect but I can't get the profile information to be displayed correctly. To explain the problem in a more simple way, it's basically that, if I click on winston1420's profile instead shows me a different profile (of the logged in user) My profile on HTML template <section class="py-5"> <div class="container my-5"> <div class="row justify-content"> <div class="col-lg-6"> <div class="content-section"> <div class="media"> <img class="rounded-circle profile-img" src="{{ user.profile.image.url }}"/> <div class="media-body"> <h2 class="account-heading">{{ view.kwargs.username }}</h2> <p class="text-secondary">{{ user.first_name }} {{ user.last_name }}</p> <p class="text-secondary">{{ user.email }}</p> <div class="container"> <p class="lead"><Strong>Sobre mi:</strong></p> <p class="lead">{{ user.description }}</p> </div> <br> <p class="text-secondary">Se unió el {{ user.date_joined }}</p> <p class="text-secondary">Última vez visto: {{ user.last_login }}</p> <p class="mb-0">{{ user.profile.about }}</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> My user's post list <div class="container my-5"> <div class="row justify-content"> <div class="col-lg-6"> <h2>Publicaciones de <strong><a href="">{{ view.kwargs.username }}</a></strong> ({{ page_obj.paginator.count }}) </h2> <br> … -

GAE Django fails with OperationalError: (2062, 'Cloud SQL socket open failed with error: No such file or directory')
In my Django (+grappelli) admin when a model instnace has 10+ related autocompleted items then all subesquent request fail with OperationalError: (2062, 'Cloud SQL socket open failed with error: No such file or directory') All requests after that and for a few minutes are 500 with the same error. At least once I had to delete all instances and restart the database after it never recovered. Having read the other stackoverflow questions, I suspect that this is a concurrent requests issue (since the autocompleted fields in the admin are ajax requests possibly happening all at once). My issue is that I cannot reproduce this on the staging server no matter how many related items I add. Production is instance_class F4 and staging the default F1. -
Installing Django projects from pypi in your own project
As a relative beginner to Django I would like to know what the best practice is when it comes to using other developer's apps in your own project. I've found a booking/reservation app I want to use in my own project here: https://pypi.org/project/django-reservation/ however, I don't want everything it contains eg. the Product model, as I have a Van model already which would essentially be the 'product' a user would reserve. In this case, I'm wondering if it would be best to either: keep the entire django-reservation app installed (and copy over any files I want to edit, including where I have to update the code because the developer last updated this project 5 years ago), OR not install it and scour the files to copy over any code that I can use in building my own booking/reservation app. I'm concerned about the time it could take to fix unknown bugs in a project this old. -
Ident between django tag {%%} in vs code
I would like to indent my code between the django tags {%%}. e.g from {% for disease in diseases %} <h3 class="card flex flex--center-all grid__element">{{ disease}}</h3> {% endfor %} to this: {% for disease in diseases %} <h3 class="card flex flex--center-all grid__element">{{ disease}}</h3> {% endfor %} Unfortunately Beautify automaticly unindent, and the default formatter in vs code stick all the blocks on the same line. I tried to change the Vs code settings by creating new tags, or new brackets, or changing the way VS code indent. Nothing work. All helps are welcome. -
Generate XML from List in Python
I want to generate a XML-Scheme/XSD out of Lists.

And with a dict that has all the classes to corresponding lists: schema_dict = { "c-customertype-b2b-industry-manufacturingoffurnite" : l1, "c-customertype-b2b-industry-manufacturingofjewellery": l2, ... } And out of that i want to create a XML-Schema like this: <xs:element name="customers"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:element name="customertype"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:element name="b2b"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:element name="industry"/> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:element name="manufacturing" type="c-customertype-b2b-industry-manufacturing" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="b2c"> {...} I already have the simpletypes.

Integrating Model, Serializer and Algorithm in a tree structure coherently
I have a tree-like structure of objects, linked to each-other with foreign keys. Each object's fields are stored in a model. Each object has a serializer. Each object has a few routines, now stored in an algorithm class. There is a serializer that recreates the tree structure into a nested dictionary. How do I merge these 3 facets of each object into a single object? Should I create a child object, which inherits from the three others (scary)? or should I include the model and the serializer inside my algo class as inner objects (seems more modular and independent)? -
