Django - Could not parse the remainder: '++_RS' from 'annovar.GERP++_RS'
I have a JSON value that comes directly from a DB that has this label GERP++_RS This is part of a big dictionary and I need to display the correspondent value on a HTML page, but Django gives me this error Could not parse the remainder: '++_RS' from 'annovar.GERP++_RS' What would be best strategy to retrieve the value from this key? Would I need to process it before it gets to the template? Thanks in advance -

Filter Dataset Based on Account Log In
I'm trying to filter the dataset shown in my table based on the user that logged in within the previous page. My app is set up in a way that it's a simple log-in screen where you put a username and password, and then there's a single dataset feeding two screens: 1 = Week, 2 = Picks. On the first screen, you select which week you'd like to select picks for, and once you click into a week you can change your picks. When I've built apps in different solutions, my idea was to store username or week as a variable and then filter the dataset to just records pertaining to that criteria, but I'm not sure how to do that in Django. Thoughts? I have the following code: views.py class PickList(LoginRequiredMixin, CoreListView): model = Pick def user_picks(request): Pick.objects.filter(submitter={{ request.user.get_full_name|default:request.user }}) return render(request, 'app/pick_list.html', {'Pick': Pick}) app urls.py urlpatterns = [ path('', home, name='home'), path('picks/', PickList.as_view(), name='pick-list'), path('pick/<int:pk>/', PickDetail.as_view(), name='pick-detail'), path('picks/<str:submitter>', user_picks(), name='pick-list'), path('weeks/', WeekList.as_view(), name='week-list'), path('weeks/<int:pk>/', WeekDetail.as_view(), name='week-detail'), ] account urls.py urlpatterns = [ path('login/', views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='account/signin.html', authentication_form=AuthenticationForm, extra_context={ 'title': 'Login', 'extra_title': 'Please sign in', }), name='login'), path('logout/', views.LogoutView.as_view(next_page='account:login'), name='logout'), ] models.py class Pick(models.Model): submitter = models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name='Submitter', null=True, blank=True) … -

django filter a prefetch_related queryset
I am trying to use prefetch_related with a model with foreign key because I then need to query the database within a loop. models.py class SelfEvaluatedStatement(models.Model): evaluation_statement = models.ForeignKey(EvaluationStatement, on_delete=models.CASCADE) user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) rating = models.IntegerField(default=0) views.py queryset = SelfEvaluatedStatement.objects.prefetch_related( 'evaluation_statement__sku__topic__subject', 'evaluation_statement__sku__level' ).filter( evaluation_statement__sku__topic__subject=subject, evaluation_statement__sku__level=level ) for student_user in student_users: red_count = queryset.filter(user=student_user, rating=1).count() However, this hits the database with a new query each time I iterate through the loop. Is it possible to filter a queryset which has been prefetched, or am I thinking about this incorrectly? -
Getting and Resuming from Process ID in Python 3
I am developing a testapp in django for internal computing usage. I am using Octave (open source version of Matlab). The idea is to give the user a web interface, where user will type commands, and the commands will go to backend, get executed in octave, and return the results. And the key is to remember the values of all variables that the user has set previously without any recourse to database as octave does it automatically. The problem I am facing is that once I return from backend, I loose the parameter values. In essence, I create a shell process in django view using import subprocess; subprocess.run('a=2'). I capture the output and send it back to UI. And lets say user sends another command subprocess.run('a = a + 2'). But this time when I try to execute in backend, I am going to get error, because the value of parameter a is lost!! To make matters worse multiple users can access this app at the same time with their own set of data and operations. Now my question how can I get process ID of shell created using python, and resume later on using the same process ID and … -

Using data from the select tag to make queries based on the given id
I'm trying to make queries or to filter data based on the given id from the select tag that I have in the html. In the index.html I have the following: <div class="row"> <label for="patientId">Choose a patient:</label> <select name="patient" id="patient"> {% for item in patientId %} <option value="{{item}}"> {{item}} </option> {% endfor %} </select> In this select I have all the ids from the database, in the same page, I also have a chart that should display data based only on this id from the select tag.

Drag and Drop sorting with django and ajax

Pagination causes duplicate elements in Django
I've the following ListView: class SentencesListView(ListView): model = Sentence paginate_by = 10 def get_queryset(self): return Sentence.objects.all().order_by('-proficiency') When the user interacts with the webpage, proficiency of all Sentences on the displayed page increases. As a result, when get_queryset will be called again (when user visits the next page), he'll see the same sentences as he did on the previous page. How can I prevent this? I've tried the following which didn't work: class SentencesListView(ListView): model = Sentence paginate_by = 10 def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.cached_query_set = None def get_queryset(self): if not self.request.GET.get('page') or not self.cached_query_set: self.cached_query_set = Sentence.objects.all().order_by('-proficiency') return self.cached_query_set self.cached_query_set is never not None when the test is performed inside get_queryset. Hence, the query set is always computed anew when moving to the next page. Is there a way to prevent users from experiencing duplicates? Or, is there a way to prevent get_queryset from being called when moving to the next page? -

Django views best practice : explicit or implicit context?
I'm wondering if there is a 'best' solution between explicit context definition and implicit use of locals() parameter in view rendering. The original way of doing is to 'declare' each variable to be used in the context of a view, thanks to a dictionary, but Django proposes some shortcuts and also offers the ability to take into account all variables defined in a view to be part of the context. Are there any differences between both options (context variable defined in a dict vs 'locals()'), and is one of them 'better' (and why?)? Btw (subsidiary question): I'm quite new to Django and I never used return HttpResponse(...) but always return render(...), am I wrong? -
