Django searching multiple models and removing duplicates
I am trying to build a search function for my blog that searches through the two models Articles and Spots. The two models are connected via the pivot table ArticleSpots. My blog is structured so that there are multiple spots in each article. When a query is searched I want the query to be searched within both models but only display clickable articles. I have a html page for each article but not for each spots, so all the spots that resulted from the search have to be shown as the article which contains the spot. Hope that makes sense! This is the code that I came up with but the problem is that I get a lot of duplicates in the variable results. There are duplicates within each articles_from_spots and articles_from_query, and there are also overlaps between them. Is this the right way to accomplish this ? How can I remove the duplicates from the results? Any help would be appreciated! views.py def search(request): query = request.GET.get("q") articles_from_query = Articles.objects.filter( Q(title__icontains=query) | Q(summary__icontains=query) ) spots_from_query = Spots.objects.filter( Q(title__icontains=query) | Q(summary__icontains=query) | Q(content__icontains=query) ) articles_from_spots = [] for x in spots_from_query: article = Articles.objects.filter(articlespots__spot=x) articles_from_spots.extend(article) results = chain(articles_from_spots, articles_from_query) context … -
Django: custom storage system with incremental number
I'm trying to creare a custom storage file system in python to have the duplicate files that are uploaded to be different by a number that increment. The code is kinda working, my only problem is that instead having this kind of results: nameofthefile_1.txt nameofthefile_2.txt nameofthefile_3.txt I get this nameofthefile_1.txt nameofthefile_1_2.txt nameofthefile_1_2_2.txt This is my code class CustomStorage(FileSystemStorage): def get_available_name(self, filename, max_length=None): number_1 = filename.split('_')[19] plus_one = int(number_1.split('.')[0]) if self.exists(filename): plus_one += 1 dir_name, file_name = os.path.split(filename) file_root, file_ext = os.path.splitext(file_name) filename = os.path.join(dir_name, '{}_{}{}'.format(file_root, plus_one, file_ext)) return filename def user_directory_path(instance, filename): extension = filename.split('.')[-1] filename = "file_%s_1.%s" % (instance.identification, extension) return 'folder/{0}/{1}'.format(instance.user, filename) -

How can gunicorn handle hundreds of thousands of requests per second for django?
From the docs - How many workers, DO NOT scale the number of workers to the number of clients you expect to have. Gunicorn should only need 4-12 worker processes to handle hundreds or thousands of requests per second. Generally we recommend (2 x $num_cores) + 1 as the number of workers to start off with. From threads, The number of worker threads for handling requests. Run each worker with the specified number of threads. A positive integer generally in the 2-4 x $(NUM_CORES) range. You’ll want to vary this a bit to find the best for your particular application’s workload. Now the question is what no of threads and workers can serve hundreds or thousands of requests per second? Let's say I have a dual-core machine and I set 5 workers and 8 threads. And I can serve 40 concurrent requests? If I am going to serve hundreds or thousands of requests, I'll need a hundred cores? this line is very hard to understand: Gunicorn should only need 4-12 worker processes to handle hundreds or thousands of requests per second. -

Django model allow only once in many
Please excuse the title but I'm not sure howto put this into words. I have a model "card" and a model "computer": class card(models.Model): name=models.CharField( verbose_name = 'Name', max_length=50, null=True, blank=True, ) serial=models.CharField( verbose_name = 'Serial', max_length=50, null=True, blank=True, ) class computer(models.Model): name=models.CharField( verbose_name = 'Name', max_length=50, null=True, blank=True, ) slot1 = models.OneToOneField( 'card', related_name='cardslot1', on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True, verbose_name = 'Slot 1', ) slot2 = models.OneToOneField( 'card', related_name='cardslot2', on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True, verbose_name = 'Slot 2', ) (Of course that this computer model is invalid) The cards are unique and should only be allowed to be used in one slot - of any computer. What's the best way to achieve this? I was thinking about a in-between table, something like card n-1 cardcomputer n-1 computer but I'm hoping there's a better way I'm not seeing right now. Thanks -
Override User's check password in Django
I am migrating a PHP backend to Django and I don't wanna make users change their passwords. In PHP I'm using Bcrypt, which uses version 2y, while Django uses 2b, making it incompatible. I've read other solutions where people write a whole new hasher, but that seems too difficult. My solution was to override the check_password() function of my User model: def check_password(self, raw_password): alg_prefix = 'bcrypt_php' if self.password.startswith(alg_prefix): return bcrypt.checkpw(bytes(raw_password, 'utf-8'), bytes(self.password[len(alg_prefix):], 'utf-8')) else: return super().check_password(raw_password) And to save old passwords adding bcrypt_php in the beginning. The question is: Is it dangerous to do this? Am I putting my passwords or my system in danger? -

Django Formset Required fields in formset validation

What does the logger 'django.server' do? Is the logger 'django' not enough?
I need to only add the logger which logs all the api requests coming to my server. In the documentation, django.request Log messages related to the handling of requests. 5XX responses are raised as ERROR messages; 4XX responses are raised as WARNING messages. Requests that are logged to the django.security logger aren’t logged to django.request. django.server Log messages related to the handling of requests received by the server invoked by the runserver command. HTTP 5XX responses are logged as ERROR messages, 4XX responses are logged as WARNING messages, and everything else is logged as INFO. I tried disabling django.server and all I could find was that API requests are no longer logged. So, I thought maybe it is for requests emanating from my server. Nope. Still nothing.

How to handle freezing libraries in production with Django?
I have a Django application where I use pipenv to manage packages. Now I want to freeze all the libraries to their current versions to avoid problems in the production. Is it enough just to lock the versions in the Pipfile, or should I handle the dependency packages as well? These are my packages from the Pipfile: [packages] Django = "*" djangorestframework-simplejwt = "*" django-rest-framework = "*" django-cors-headers = "*" pytest-django = "*" psycopg2-binary = "*" If I run the command pipenv run pip freeze > requirements.txt I get a long list of packages and versions because it contains also the packages that my Pipfile packages are dependent of. So should I lock all those packages also, or is it enough to lock the packages in the Pipfile to prevent any unwanted changes happening? -
