Django cannot install django-heroku'
I'm trying to install django-heroku on ubuntu. However, there is problem, after searching on the internet I don't even know how to solve it. It appears you are missing some prerequisite to build the package from source. You may install a binary package by installing 'psycopg2-binary' from PyPI. If you want to install psycopg2 from source, please install the packages required for the build and try again. For further information please check the 'doc/src/install.rst' file (also at <https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html>). error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1 Command "/usr/bin/python3 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-xgi1er3t/psycopg2/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-u5iwangg-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --user --prefix=" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-xgi1er3t/psycopg2/ Thanks in advanced. -

Why do I get " * upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream" error in Django?
So I have my Django application deployed with AWS EC2. I was trying to make some changes in the admin page, but then when I clicked an object it gave me "502 Bad Gateway" error. So I checked the log in my console, and found this: " *3 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, blabla..." This is my first time deploying a project, and I barely have any knowledge on the server-side. What do you think could be the problem?

Price per date database design for hotel reservation system (store each date vs calcul it at runtime)
I have a requirement similar to this question, I need to store prices per date (prices change seasonally) and I have designed the bellow model: room_calendar : room_id : date : price: I must store dates up ~one year then run a query to get all prices for x ranges of date and sum() all prices. I think that approach is fine, but the downside is the volume of data in the database and the performance during queries when the database has many records. I have another second approach in mind: (calcul date at runtime) Yes I know! it may sound crazy db model: room_calendar : room_id : date_rule: <- store a dateutil rrule price: results: {'room_id': {'dates': <dateutil.rrule.rrule object at 0x7fa2a8e3bda0>, 'price': 100}} {'room_id': {'dates': <dateutil.rrule.rrule object at 0x7fa2a8e3bda0>, 'price': 150}} Then: dates_to_reserve = [datetime(2020, 1, 1), datetime(2020, 1, 2), datetime(2020, 1, 3)] room_price.objects.filter(date_rule__in=dates_to_reserve) Of course I would have to create a custom field that supports store dateutil.rrule and when I query it with __in hit the __contains__ method of dateutil.rrule sorry I can't express everything in a better way, SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH Do you have something better than the first approach? Would there be any point … -
How to make django uploaded images to display in CloudFront frontend + Beanstalk Backend
I have created a backend django app using AWS Beanstalk, and a frontend reactjs app deployed using cloudfront (plus S3) I have a model in backend that does class EnhancedUser(AbstractUser): # some other attributes picture = models.ImageField(blank=True) my settings.py has MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media') MEDIA_URL = '<my_elastic_beanstalk_domain>/media/' Since I'm using cloudfront, if i just set the MEDIA_URL to /media/, it would just append /media/ to my cloudfront url, so I have to hardcode it to my backend url and then, following the django docs, I added the static part to my urls.py urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), # some other urls ] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) Note that django doc does mention we can't use absolute url for MEDIA_URL, but I have no alternative solution at the moment When I upload my image, it doesn't get stored in the right place, but I cannot open it with the url. It returns a 404 saying the img's url is not part of urls list My question is: How do I set it up so I can display the image Since the images will be updated through users/admins, these will be stored in the EC2 instance created in beanstalk, so every time I … -

Where/when to trigger transactional emails in Django?
I have been trying to figure out the best place to put the send_mail() function in my Django app for transactional emails. I have researched a fair bit and have seen lots of suggestions all with their various pro's and con's so, I thought I'd ask the community for perspective. My goal is to send the following emails: Appointment Created, Appointment Modfied (e.g. the start time changed) and Appointment Cancelled. I am comfortable with how to send mails and have already got it configured with SMTP sending the mails no problem - my question relates to where is best to trigger the email. I have considered: Signals For creation, a post save signal with if kwargs['created']:seems like a good place. Seems like it is literally intended for this purpose. For modified or cancelled, I saw a lot of other questions suggesting that pre_save signals is a good way to check for change by try: original = sender.objects.get(pk=instance.pk) except sender.DoesNotExist: #object is new else: #check for attribute change & send mail etc However, it seems like a pre_save signal isn't a great choice to check for attribute changes - what if the save fails? Obviously, post_save is no good because the … -

Dealing with django settings.py file after adding to .gitignore?
I added the settings.py file of my django project to .gitignore before pushing to Github. Now when I open the project in PyCharm, the file name settings.py is highlighted in a kind of lime green color. Is this telling me something else or are there any other implications for this other than having added it to .gitignore, maybe in terms of later on when I want to put my site on a remote server for instance? I will probably push new commits to Github in the future so I had planned to keep it in .gitignore, but would this present any other problems?
