visual studio code-should I install python in virtual environment in the folder of my project?

How to understand the following Python function code?
How to understand the following code? This code is a snippet of Django source code. I am trying to understand 1. How the nested function works below? 2. The function returns itself, so is it a recursive function? 3. Why does the check_password(raw_password, self.password, setter) in return can have three parameters? def check_password(self, raw_password): """ Returns a boolean of whether the raw_password was correct. Handles hashing formats behind the scenes.

VSCode Debug - Prepend command when launching for django?
I've recently started using VSCode to debug with Django and it's worked out pretty well. I use a system for managing my environment variables however that requires the use of it's keyword first (keys python manage.py runserver) Debugging works fine for firing up a standard Django install - but I can't seem to get the python debugger to run the above statement. In my launch.json I've tried a few configurations like the following: # launch.json { "name": "Python: Django", "type": "python", "request": "launch", "preLaunchTask": "keys-run", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/manage.py", "args": [ "runserver" ], "django": true } # tasks.json { "type": "shell", "label": "keys-run", "command": "keys" } I've tried this as well: { "name": "Python: Django", "type": "python", "request": "launch", "program": "keys", "args": [ "python", "manage.py", "runserver" ], "django": true } The second config give me an error that there is no such file or directory '/home/username/project_directory/keys' But from the command line (zsh) I can run the command: keys python manage.py runserver and it loads my environment variables as it should, then loads up and runs django without issue. What is the best way to get this into VSCode debugger? -

I am passing an object to a template in Django but I can not call it
I am in Django, I am making a list of objects in my views.py so I can pass it to my template and show those properties in my page. I create the list of objects and their properties like this: views.py: def courseListView(request): object_list = {} courses = Course.objects.all() for course in courses: object_list[course] = { 'prog': int(lessonsCompleted.objects.filter(user=request.user.id, course=course.id).count() / course.lessons.count() * 100), 'title': course.title, 'slug': course.slug, 'thumbnail': course.thumbnail, 'get_absolute_url': '/' + course.slug, } context = { 'object_list': object_list, } return render(request, "courses/course_list.html", context) In this way I am populating a object called object_list with a number of objects I extract from my Course model. In the template I try calling the properties of the objects in object_list like this: template: {% block content %} {% load static %} <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/courses.css' %}"> <div class="container d-flex justify-content-center"> <div class="row"> <h1>Cursos</h1> <div class="container-fluid mt-4 d-flex card-deck justify-content-center"> {% for object in object_list %} <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-auto mb-3"> <div class="card" style="width: 18rem;"> <img class="card-img-top" src="/static/{{ object.thumbnail }}" alt="Card image cap"> <div class="card-body"> <h5 class="card-title"><a href="{{ object.get_absolute_url }}">{{ object.title }}</a></h5> <div class="w3-light-grey w3-round-xlarge"> <div class="w3-container w3-blue w3-round-xlarge" id="progress-{{ object.slug }}" style="width:{{ object.prog }}%;">{{ object.prog }}%</div> </div> <div class="card-footer"> … -
Django aggregation of aggregation - Cannot compute Sum is an aggregate
I'm trying to perform an aggregate of an aggregate, but looks like is not possible (SQL doens't allow it) Let's start defining what contains the queryset: DW00 2020-01-01 2020-03-31 653.38 DW00 2020-01-01 2020-03-31 8,346.54 DW00 2020-04-01 2020-06-30 488.00 DW00 2020-04-01 2020-06-30 8,346.54 DW00 2020-07-01 2020-09-30 488.00 DW00 2020-07-01 2020-09-30 8,390.07 R00 2020-01-01 2020-03-31 6,877.11 R00 2020-04-01 2020-06-30 6,877.11 R00 2020-07-01 2020-09-30 6,877.11 The values are respectively: condition_type, calculation_from, calculation_to and net.

Django: global template not found after creating settings module

I'm using python-social-auth but my app isn't logging out when the user logs out of Google
I have python-social-auth working to authorize my app and everything works great. I can log into my app via OAuth2 and log out via typical Django logout. My problem: if a user logs out of Google (from GMail, for example), it does not log me out of my Django app. I am still authorized as the Google user even though Google is logged out. I have tried refreshing tokens via the load strategy below to "force" a check to make sure Google is still logged in and that isn't working. social = request.user.social_auth.get(provider='google-oauth2') access_token = social.get_access_token(load_strategy()) social.refresh_token(load_strategy()) I feel like I'm going down the wrong road. All I want to do is validate that Google is logged into still so I can consider my OAuth2 session valid. Is there a way to do this integrity check? What am I doing wrong or do I need to do? My research so far suggests what I want is not even possible - I don't like that answer so hoping for a different one here. -

No Response after calling the API
I am working on a project, where I am making a call to the API https://apis.justwatch.com/content/titles/en_IN/popular?body=%7B%22page_size%22:5,%22page%22:1,%22query%22:%22The%20Irishman%22,%22content_types%22:[%22movie%22]%7D I am making the call to the API, using the code import requests data = requests.get('https://apis.justwatch.com/content/titles/en_IN/popular?body=%7B%22page_size%22:5,%22page%22:1,%22query%22:%22The Irishman%22,%22content_types%22:[%22movie%22]%7D') print(data.json()) But, today when I made the call to the same API, it gave me None Response, and when I tried making the same API call on my browser, it worked fine.
