django cache still expires after 15 minutes even after setting timeout
In Django version 2.0.3 settings.py I set cache as CACHES = { 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache', 'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:11211', 'TIMEOUT': 20, } } And I ran memcached as memcached -vv But it still takes 15 min for cache to expire. -
How do I pass data from a view to a custom mixin in Django?
Two of my views share a substantial amount of code, which makes it hard to maintain. For that reason I decided to move the common code into a custom mixin. A simplistic example: class StatisticsMixin(object): def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) user_products = Product.objects.filter(user=self.request.user).select_related() context["total_products"] = user_products.count() context["total_products_open"] = user_products.total_new() return context Now, my views would look like this: class DashboardView(LoginRequiredMixin, StatisticsMixin, TemplateView): model = Product template_name = "products/dashboard.html" def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) user_products = Product.objects.filter(user=self.request.user).select_related() # Some other code return context class AnalyticsView(LoginRequiredMixin, StatisticsMixin, TemplateView): model = Product template_name = "products/analytics.html" def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) user_products = Product.objects.filter(user=self.request.user).select_related() # Some other code return context The issue is the following in the custom mixin, StatisticsMixin: user_products = Product.objects.filter(user=self.request.user).select_related() which in different views could be something else. So, I am trying to find a way for the custom mixin, to get the data from the view and not be hardcoded in it. -
Django serializers: why does self.fields.pop('field_name') work?
Referring to the following link as an example (and plenty of other examples exist elsewhere): http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/serializers/#dynamically-modifying-fields It's understood that Django serializer fields are defined typically using a tuple, which is immutable: class UserSerializer(DynamicFieldsModelSerializer): class Meta: model = User fields = ('id', 'username', 'email') However, the accepted way to dynamically change serializer fields involves using a pop (self.fields.pop(field_name)) class DynamicFieldsModelSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): # Don't pass the 'fields' arg up to the superclass fields = kwargs.pop('fields', None) # Instantiate the superclass normally super(DynamicFieldsModelSerializer, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) if fields is not None: # Drop any fields that are not specified in the `fields` argument. allowed = set(fields) existing = set(self.fields) for field_name in existing - allowed: self.fields.pop(field_name) How do fields get defined? Is there a pre-processing step in Django serializers? -
Api to return current user and photo from Django
I'm trying to create an api call that will return the username of the individual that logged in as well as their photo. I am logging in via an app and attempting to fire off that api call when the user logs in. I am using the rest_framework_simplejwt to sign in and assign a token then return that token via the app to use to access data in various api calls. Right now This what I have so far: URL: url(r'^api/token/$', TokenObtainPairView.as_view()), Api Call: @csrf_exempt def current_user(request): if request.method == 'POST': driver = JWTAuthentication().authenticate(request)[0].driver driverInfo = request.user.get_full_name() return JsonResponse({"success": driverInfo}) Right now it -
URL regex that will match /x/y but also just /x
I'm following a tutorial, and am getting an 404 error that http://127.0.0.1:8000/restaurants/ is not being matched by url(r'^restaurants/(?P<slug>\w+)/$', RestaurantListView.as_view()) while http://127.0.0.1:8000/restaurants/x with any x is.

Django choices vs store in data base
What is better to do in case you want to set fixed choices in a model, but they are too numerous? I will put an example with countries, is not exactly my case, but is with geographic locations: This: COUNTRY_CHOICES = ( ('A', 'ARGENTINA'), # 200 more countries ) # model field my_field = models.CharField( choices = COUNTRY_CHOICES ) Vs store every value in database. Thanks. -
Best practice for storing user API keys?
the app I'm working on requires users to provide their API key's to a third party service so that the app can pull the users data from the third party and process it. What is the best practice for storing each users unique keys? I've seen people talk about storing it into the user model as a field or setting up a separate file that get's imported where needed. -

Django DRF: POST to CreateAPIView with list of PrimaryKeyRelatedFields
I have a many-to-one relationship between the following models class Story(models.Model): id = models.CharField(max_length=12, primary_key=True) class Article(models.Model): id = models.CharField(max_length=16, primary_key=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=500) address = models.URLField() story = models.ForeignKey(to=Story, blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Suppose I post several article objects to the database successfully.

Suppose I run this as it is, I will get the following error: Got a TypeError when calling Story.objects.create(). This may be because you have a writable field on the serializer class that is not a valid argument to Story.objects.create(). You may need to make the field read-only, or override the StorySerializer.create() method to handle this correctly. So here is an attempt ... -
Django, Haystack, Elasticsearch: Search comes up empty
Setting: I have a sqlite3 db populated with 119 files that contain, identifier, title, speaker and transcribed text. I would like to make that text searchable on a Django site, using Haystack and Elasticsearch. I have mainly followed this guide.

Django fileField works on admin page, but not on form

CORS header not working for Django backend- Angular frontend

Django modelForm is not saving file to DB

How to connect a websockify/nvc instance to a Python Django application? (404 errors)
My question is how to integrate websockify and novnc. I have a novnc codebase recently integrated into a Django app. The codebase is here: https://github.com/novnc/noVNC Unfortunately I am limited in what I can share of my own code for IP and private repository reasons so please bear with me here. So far, I have a qcow2 file creating a virtual machine image, which I am able to access by running the following command from the command line: I am able to successfully negotiate a connection to my virtual machine. The following additional info is supplied when I look in the dev tools console. I have integrated this functionality, and the javascript, into a Django template, as well as the views and urls.

Different installations of Python on web server - NTLK installation issue
I am new to web development. I am having an issue importing nltk in Python when I access my shared web hosting account (Linux) with Putty. I have a shared hosting account and I have several domains. I have started trying to develop a couple of site using Django: let's call them Site1 and Site2. I have separate virtualenvs for Site1 and Site2. I have in the shared "base" directory an installation of Python3.6. I then have separate installations of Python in the virtualenv bin folders for site1 and site2. I am trying to install NLTK on Site1. I have done the following: (1) Accessed the server through Putty. (2) Run the virtualenv for Site1. (3) Typed 'pip install nltk'. - The package is saved to the /site1-virtualenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages directory. I presume the PIP command is linked to the Python installation for Site1. (4) To download the NLTK Data, I run the Python shell by typing 'python' in the Site1 virtualenv. When I type 'import nltk' in the python shell, I get error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nltk' I think this is because the 'python' command is running the installation of ... -

I can perform so if these two models would be one model, But i dont know how to perform so in different models. def save(self,*args,**kwargs): if self.total_days<=self.total_leave: self.total_leave -= self.total_days self.unpaid_leave = 14 - self.total_leave else: self.total_days -= 14 self.paid_leaves = self.total_days super(Model_name,self).save(*args,**kwargs) ` Please be guiding me.
