ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'base'
every time I try to run my program using python manage.py runserver the same error comes up. I have already added my Django app in my settings.py. this error first came up after starting my Django project and installing my Django app. The error: > Watching for file changes with StatReloader Exception in thread django-main-thread: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Python39\lib\threading.py", line 973, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "C:\Program Files\Python39\lib\threading.py", line 910, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "C:\Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop\jwt-believe-0.0.1\env\lib\site-packages\django\utils\autoreload.py", line 64, in wrapper fn(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop\jwt-believe-0.0.1\env\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\commands\runserver.py", line 115, in inner_run autoreload.raise_last_exception() File "C:\Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop\jwt-believe-0.0.1\env\lib\site-packages\django\utils\autoreload.py", line 87, in raise_last_exception raise _exception[1] File "C:\Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop\jwt-believe-0.0.1\env\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\__init__.py", line 381, in execute autoreload.check_errors(django.setup)() File "C:\Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop\jwt-believe-0.0.1\env\lib\site-packages\django\utils\autoreload.py", line 64, in wrapper fn(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop\jwt-believe-0.0.1\env\lib\site-packages\django\__init__.py", line 24, in setup apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS) File "C:\Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop\jwt-believe-0.0.1\env\lib\site-packages\django\apps\registry.py", line 91, in populate app_config = AppConfig.create(entry) File "C:\Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop\jwt-believe-0.0.1\env\lib\site-packages\django\apps\config.py", line 211, in create mod = import_module(mod_path) File "C:\Program Files\Python39\lib\importlib\__init__.py", line 127, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1030, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 972, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 228, in _call_with_frames_removed File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1030, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 984, in _find_and_load_unlocked … -
what technology to use to make a chatapp?
what technologies would be best to add a chat app to your website? Like, I see a live customer support chat box on many websites. I think php and ajax are a common way of doing it. I also think django could be commonly used. However, I was wondering if there's a better or "best" way to do this sort of thing? Such as using javascript like next.js, reactjs, and preactjs. There's twilio and plivo. What's a modern and like high quality approach to accomplish adding a live chat pop-up window to a website? My other related inquiry is what to use for creating a website like omegle or a random chat website? -
How to properly connect models in Django?
In my project I want to have global database of ingredients. I also want for each User to have a possibility to add a ingredient to his own Fridge model but with additional field "numOf". I've stumbled upon errors with PATCH request and im thinking that my database is wrongly connected. Does anyone maybe have a better idea how to arrange my models? Ingredient models class Ingredient(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) class UserIngredient(models.Model): ingredient = models.OneToOneField(Ingredient, unique=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) numOf = models.IntegerField(default=1) Fridge model class Fridge(models.Model): owner = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name='fridge', on_delete=models.CASCADE) ingredients = models.ManyToManyField(UserIngredient, blank=True) def __str__(self): return self.owner.username + "'s Fridge" def save(self, *args, **kwargs): super().save(*args, **kwargs) For example, let 1st user have 2 Apples, 2nd 3 Apples and 3rd 4 Apples in their Fridge. Then in UserIngredient table I have 3 records: Apple 2, Apple 3, Apple 4 which all point to a single Apple Ingredient. How can I avoid this redundancy and just point to a Ingredient instance? -

How to integrate any company SSO to my Django app?
I have an app for businesses and one of their main requests is to integrate their SSO (some uses Okta, others use Azure). Currently we use python-social-core, but to add a new company we have to modify code. Do you know a better and simpler way to do this? Like a library that allows me to generate the SAML2.0 url or the redirect link of OIDC, without messing with ENV variables on my app. -

How to correctly design a django database?
I have been learning Django recently, before, I used to design the ER models and all that stuff by myself, although I'm not an expert on databases. I have some questions that I couldn't find anywhere. In terms of designing the database, does a Django developer use only the UML diagrams related to the models or does he/she designs the ER models and then the tables? If the developer only uses the UML diagrams, is database normalization necessary or even applicable in this case? In my ignorance I opted to design the models as UML because I like to have diagrams and it seemed appropriate to me. Is this the right approach? UML diagram of django models Thank you. -

Django APIView data format from AJAX
I was trying to send an array of objects in views.py using APIView to insert multiple rows in 1 post request. This is my JavaScript data format: const data = { group_designation: [ {id: 1}, {id: 2}, {id: 3}, ] } I run an insomnia app and it only accepts this kind of format: { "group_designation": [ {"id": 1}, {"id": 2}, ] } However, if I send a post request using the javascript format stated above, it gives me a bad request error(400). This is the payload in network tab: group_designation[0][id]: 1 group_designation[1][id]: 2 group_designation[2][id]: 3 In Django, this is the request.data result: <QueryDict: { 'group_designation[0][id]': ['1'], 'group_designation[1][id]': ['2'], 'group_designation[2][id]': ['3'] }> My code in Django: def post(self, request): temp_objects = [] new_data_format = {'group_designation': temp_objects} serializer = GroupSerializer(data=new_data_format, many=True) if serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True): group_data_saved = serializer.save() return Response({ "success": "success!!!" }) I was just trying to rewrite the data format so it will be saved but no luck trying. Please help. Thank you! -
Use pipenv with django heroku
So I began to code a project with python, and I was using a tutorial that told me to use a pip environment as my virtual environment. A problem arose, however, when I performed the git push heroku master command. It could not find the package django-heroku! I was confused, because when I ran python manage.py runserver, the server on my computer ran. I later realized that the problem was that the pip environment was located in a .virtualenvs folder that was outside of the folder I was pushing to heroku. I then changed to a python environment, which was located in the directory I was pushing to heroku. The problem was solved! The virtual environment, and consequently the installed packages, were inside the directory being pushed to git, and I could use them in my website! But the question still remains: can you use a pip environment for a django project being pushed to git? Thanks! -

How to prevent Django save action to avoid repetitive DB calls on already existing data
My current code for saving articles saves new articles and prints 'The Post Already Exists!' if a duplicate is found, but it's still making DB calls and so now I have ID gaps in my articles table because of the false saves caused by duplicate articles not being saved. How can I improve my code to prevent the save action if a duplicate is found to preserve consistency in my article IDs? if not Posts.objects.filter(title=post_title, slug=post_slug).exists(): post = Posts( title = post_title, link = post_link, summary = post_summary, image_url = image_link, slug = post_slug, pub_date = date_published, guid = item.guid, feed_title = channel_feed_title, feed_link = channel_feed_link, feed_description = channel_feed_desc, source_id = selected_source_id, category_id = selected_category_id ) post.save() for i in range(len(article_list)): post_tags = post.tags.add(article_list[i]) else: print("The Post Already Exists!

Django POST is missing positional argument
I'm bypassing the use of a model to get basic filter responses for presentation purposes from the user. Accordingly, I've defined a cardsStatsForm class as below: forms.py from django import forms class cardStatsForm(forms.Form): def __init__(self, filterList, sortList, *args, **kwargs): super(cardStatsForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['filts'].choices = filterList self.fields['filts'].label = "Select player rankings for inclusion in statistics:" self.fields['sorts'].choices = sortList self.fields['sorts'].label = "Choose a sort order:" filts = forms.MultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple, choices=(), required=True) sorts = forms.ChoiceField(choices=(), required=True) Unfortunately, when I retrieve the POST command, I am getting a positional argument error. I am confused, however, because I thought the point of the POST is to retrieve values. So why does "post-POST" code typically run the class instance? If i were to submit a positional value, would it not be overwritten by this statement? Isn't request.POST a form of "self" statement? views.py @login_required() def cards(request): f_name = STAT_FILES / 'csv/segment_summary_quart.csv' # pathname = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) df = pd.read_csv(f_name, index_col=None) pl_name = STAT_FILES / 'pickles/lbounds' pu_name = STAT_FILES / 'pickles/ubounds' lbounds = pickle.load(open(pl_name, "rb")) ubounds = pickle.load(open(pu_name, "rb")) filter_name = [] i = 0 max_i = len(ubounds) while i < max_i: filter_name.append(f'Personal best trophy range: {str(int(lbounds[i])).rjust(4," ")}-{str(int(ubounds[i])).rjust(4," ")}') i += 1 filter_id = range(len(filter_name)) filter_list = list(zip(filter_id, filter_name)) … -
