Django and Python
Good afternoon, I am new to Django / Python and I am finding my way around things. I've been searching around on the internet but cant really find an answer to my question which is the following: I am trying to create a Django website that will have several pages. On each of these pages I am looking to create a Python task. One of these tasks on one of the pages might be for a user to enter an input such as a name John Smith and click search. I wish for the Python script to then go and search for all John Smith related material on the internet and return results. Firstly would the Python script be able to sit on the Django web page to do this ? Or am I misunderstanding what Django can do. Secondly will I just mix the script in with the HTML etc ? Thank you in advance. -
Accessing model data in python django
I have a a Django model: class Myvalues(models.Model): items_list = models.JSONField() I have populated this model in Django admin. I now want to access the data inside this model. However I am getting an error that says: 'Manager' object has no attribute ‘items_list' The way I am trying to access it is as follows: Print(Myvalues.objects.items_list.values()) I don’t understand why this is coming up as the class has that model in it. Out of interest I printed the all() result of Myvalues class, like so: print(Myvalues.objects.all()) this resulted in the following: <QuerySet [<Myvalues: Myvalues object (1)>]> How can I access the data that’s in my items_list model? -

what kind of architecture pattern is my application?
I am trying to understand what kind of architecture my application has. I have a simple Django App which can create, read, update and delete from a MySQL database I have connected to it. This app is for one specific customer. now I would either say it is a monolithic architecture because it is all coded in the same application and if some component goes down(presentation, logic or data) the whole application will break. but I would maybe also say it was a layered(n-tier) architecture maybe? because Django it self is MVT architecture? So what is the right to say? -
django: customized primary key based on form template

Saving dropdown menu selection as a cookie in Django

Is there a more faster and efficient ways to send email in django so that the user does not have to wait the entire time the page loads
I am making a website where a user registers to book an instructor for a certain period of time according to a plan he chooses. There are three plans from which a user can choose namely 7days, 14days and 21days. After registering, the user needs to accept an agreement and then based on the plan he has chooses an expiration date is set from the day the user has accepted the agreement. Now after the user, has accepted the agreement, a copy of the agreement is sent to the user as well as the owners of the website through email. The owners want this system, where the copy of agreement is recieved by both the user and them. I am able to make this happen, and the site is working fine in the testing phase. So basically, two emails are sent after the user accepts and a Contract model is updated. Now, I have noticed that sending two emails takes a good of time, and the page keeps on loading until both the emails are sent, and then the redirects and all happens for the user. This waiting time may trigger some users to press back interrupting the smtp connection, …
