Why does django cache.set() store weird characters
When I save the string via django's cache framework from django.core.cache import cache cache.set('host_cache_key_81e44325-c046-44c6-88d7-bad7cd91ec13', ""brown.example.com:8006") And try to get the value out: 127.0.0.1:6379> get :1:host_cache_key_81e44325-c046-44c6-88d7-bad7cd91ec13 "\x80\x05\x95&\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x8c\"brown.example.com:8006\x94." I get some weird characters around it, why is that and how to make it not do it? -
Django set formset with current user
Django 3.2.7 I have a form that contains multiple inlineformset_factory formset. For all my models, they all have a meta field call created_by. Only the main form Person's created_by is filled by current user. For all the formsets (emailfs, imagefs), it did not set their created_by with current user. How can I do that? Here is my views and my 7 different failed approaches. # views.py class PersonCreateView(LoginRequiredMixin, SuccessMessageMixin, CreateView): ... model = Person form_class = PersonForm def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(PersonCreateView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) if self.request.POST: context["emailfs"] = PersonEmailFormSet( self.request.POST, self.request.FILES ) context["imagefs"] = PersonImageFormSet( self.request.POST, self.request.FILES ) # Method 6 # context["imagefs"] = PersonImageFormSet( # self.request.POST, self.request.FILES, user=self.request.user # ) # Method 7 # context["imagefs"] = PersonImageFormSet( # self.request.POST, self.request.FILES, form_kwarg={'created_by': self.request.user} # ) else: context["emailfs"] = PersonEmailFormSet() context["imagefs"] = PersonImageFormSet() return context def form_valid(self, form): form.instance.created_by = self.request.user context = self.get_context_data() emailfs = context["emailfs"] imagefs = context["imagefs"] personfs = [emailfs, imagefs] if ( form.is_valid() and all(fs.is_valid() for fs in personfs) ): self.object = form.save() for fs in personfs: # Method 1 # fs.created_by = self.request.user # Method 2 # self.created_by = self.request.user fs.instance = self.object # Method 3 # fs.created_by = self.request.user # Method 4 # fs.instance.created_by = … -

How can I pass a page param in Django url template tag?
I'm creating a simple search application. I have a model with some data, and the index page is just a search bar that search results of that model. I'm creating the form using just HTML, not a proper Django Form. index.html: <form method="get" action="{% url 'core:search' %}?page=1&q={{ request.GET.q }}"> <div class="form-floating mb-3"> <input type="search" class="form-control" id="floatingInput" name="q" value="{{ request.GET.q }}"> <label for="floatingInput">Type your search</label> </div> <button class="w-100 btn btn-lg btn-primary" type="submit">Search</button> </form> The results are paginated, so I need that the url requested by the form is http://127.0.0.1:8000/search/?page=1&q=query, query being the search term typed in the input. But what I wrote in the action parameter in the form doesn't work as I expected: even though it's writen action="{% url 'core:search' %}?page=1&q={{ request.GET.q }}, the URL requested is just http://127.0.0.1:8000/search/?q=query. The page param simply doesn't show up. I wrote page=1 because, as is the search result, the first one requested is always the first page. The view that process this request is the search_view. I'm putting it below just as more info, but I think the problem is my misunderstanding of url template tag in the action form parameter. search_view: def search_view(request): posts = Post.objects.all() query = request.GET.get('q') page_num = request.GET.get('page') … -

Djano annotate with subtract operation returns None when the subtrahend is None
My objective is to get the balance for a billing instance by subtracting the payments posted within the period. In my Billing model, I have a backlog field that contains the backlogs from previous period. The Billing model has m2m relationship with Payment model through PaidBills model. In my queryset: ''' qs = Billing.objects.filter( bill_batch=prev_batch, balance__gt=0).annotate( payment=Sum('paidbills__amount_paid', filter=Q( paidbills__pay_period=batch.period))).order_by( 'reservation__tenant__name', 'reservation__apt_unit').only( 'id', 'bill_batch', 'reservation') qs = qs.annotate(new_bal=F('backlog') - F('payment')) ''' The result is correct when the expression F('payment') contains a value, but will give a result None when F('payment') returns None. I have tried to replace the expression F('payment') with any fixed value, say 5000, and it worked as expected. How to go about this? (Django 3.2.7, Python 3.9.5) -

How can I do a multi file upload in Django, allowing user to remove file upload before form submission?
I am trying to do a fairly common user requirement, allowing the user to upload multiple files in Django, and giving them the option to remove files that they may have accidentally uploaded. As far as I can tell, even if the user remove the uploaded files from the DOM prior to the user submitting the form via Javascript code as shown here...Multiple file upload - with 'remove file' link, the uploaded files remain in the request.FILES.getlist(''). I have spent most of today researching this. I have in fact determined that when the uploaded files are deleted via Javascript from the DOM they are in fact still present in the request.FILES.getlist(''). I verified this by printing out the contents of the getlist file in my CreateView as shown below... list=[] #myfile is the key of a multi value dictionary, values are the uploaded files for f in request.FILES.getlist('files1'): #myfile is the name of your html file button filename = f.name print(filename) My question is how can I get the contents of the DOM and compare it to what's in request.FILES.getlist? I surmise that's how I'll be able to tell Django what's real and what's not. Thanks in advance for any … -

Django: Why does database login every query?
In my settings.py, I have a database configured. I have a page that issues a sql query against the database defined in settings.py every 10 seconds. I have been using it for 1 year now and never had any issues with it. My database admin ran a login audit on our database. As it turns out, each individual single sql query has a unique login to the database. His audit took 5 minutes to run just today and it is because of my django application logging in. I was pretty surprised to find out that every query that is issues has a unique login attempt to the database. Is there anyway to create a "session" for the backend database in settings.py. I really feel that the application should have a single login and use that session to issue commands. Did I miss a setting to do this? Sql login audit: -

Is it possible to use gunicorn for my Django app inside a WSL Ubuntu system?

Is there a downside of redirecting to another view rather than returning it directly?
I've built a hardcoded target_url to use it as redirect argument to trigger another view. I could also return this view directly, but I want the user to have the specific url in the browser address field. Is there any downside to call the other view directly other than having a different url than desired? I don't think that Version 1 is common practice: # Version 1 def view_one(request): [..] target_url_view_two = '/poller/' + str(random_poller_id) + '/' return redirect(target_url_view_two, request, random_poller_id) # Version 2 def view_one(request): [..] return view_two(request, random_poller_id)
