django gunicorn workers vs theads vs other possibilities
My app in django with gunicorn and I am kinda new to gunicorn. My app is heavy on IO, not so much on memory and CPU, essentially a thread has to save a or serve a big file (from few MB to few GB) from storage. Currently because of this the workers run out while there is no load on CPU or memory or even the HDD. By default has a config file for gunicorn that looks like this: import os daemon = True workers = 5 # default localhost:8000 bind = "127.0.0.1:8000" # Pid pids_dir = '/opt/pids' pidfile = os.path.join(pids_dir, 'app.pid') # for file upload, we need a longer timeout value (default is only 30s, too short) timeout = 7200 limit_request_line = 8190 I am not sure about how to configure the workers and threads etc for my work load. let me provide more details: We run "a few VMs" of 2 CPUs/8GB RAM. python is 2.7 we are on the way to upgrade to 3.7, but for now is 2.7 I already tried adding threads with different values (1 to 6), but it does not seem to work. Can someone please help explain what I can do? -

Django: adding excluded fields after ModelForm submission
I have a ModelForm where I excluded the selected_season field. The model looks like this (showing relevant part): class Registration(models.Model): student_name = models.CharField(max_length=50) selected_season = models.ForeignKey(Season, on_delete=models.CASCADE) ... before saving the form I have tried adding that field in: if form.is_valid(): form.save(commit=False) form.selected_season = '21' form.save() But it shows null value in column "selected_season_id" violates not-null constraint I added the 21 because there are 2 objects in my Season table, '21' and '22'. How do I fix this? -
Django: Change the HTML button when user joins a event with ManyToMany field
I am designing a event management system using django. I have a problem in changing the button of html page. The problem is: 1.If user is not authenticated then the button should have the value "Login to join" 2. After login, if the user clicks the "join" button(which is earlier "login to join") then the same button changes to "Joined". 3. If the The number of joiners is exceeds to the given limit then the same button should replace with "Full" or "Not Available". {% if user.is_authenticated %} <a href="{{ event.increase_join }}"><button>Join Now</button></a> {% else %} <a href="{% url 'login' %}">Login to Join match</a> {% endif %} I tried the above one but it is not capable to handle my problem the views.py is given below: @login_required def event_joined(request,id): event = get_object_or_404(Event,id=id,available=True) current_joiner = User.objects.get(username=request.user) event.joiners.add(current_joiner) event.joined+=1 event.available_slot-=1 event.save() return render(request,'events/event/detail.html',{'event': event}) -

Possible permission issue with upstart script/uwsgi
I'm trying to configure an Apache/uwsgi/Django app on a Centos 7. I've been able to set apache to proxy requests to uwsgi. I also set an ini file to link uwsgi with my Django app. The point is that I'm missing something with the systemd service to start the uwsgi server. I suspect is some permissions issue. if I manually run the server with uwsgi --ini /home/foo/env/app/uwsgi.ini then everything works like a charm but when I start the server with systemctl start uwsgi that corresponds to a configured service, the server starts with no errors but certain views on my app just fail. Watching logs I see many errors like these ones During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/foo/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/base.py", line 903, in _resolve_lookup (bit, current)) # missing attribute Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/foo/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/base.py", line 882, in _resolve_lookup current = current[bit] File "/home/foo/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/context.py", line 87, in __getitem__ raise KeyError(key) KeyError: 'form' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/traceback.py", line 105, in print_exception print(line, file=file, end="") UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xf8' in position 18057: ordinal not in range(128) This same views work perfectly when starting … -

Unable to import Django Project onto additional computers
For the final project in my software class, my group has decided to use Django to build a web app. I created a Django project with a working Virtual Environment and have it sitting in GitHub for my teammates to be able to access and collaborate. So far, I have been able to run the website and create new apps with ease. That being said, when my teammates first pull from VCS into Pycharm Professional and configure the interpreter, they are met with this error: Cannot set up a python SDK at Python 3.8 (DeliverMe) (/Users/taylorschissel/PycharmProjects/DeliverMe/venv/bin/python) The SDK seems invalid. I have read through many posts but cannot seem to find anyone with a similar issue, so I am at a loss for causes/solutions. Here is the link to the repo: https://github.com/isaacfc4/DeliverMe -
Difficulty adding widget to django project
Firstly I apologize for the very basic question but I am currently learning to develop and have read a lot of documentation and searched a lot but still cannot get this working. I'm building a website using Django framework am trying to add the django-bootstrap-datepicker-plus widget. I am having a lot of difficulty figuring out exactly where the different parts of code should go. I have included snippets from my model.py and forms.py files below. The forms work as they are now, but I encounter lots of problems when I try to add the datePicker widget. class PersonalInformation(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) GENDERS = ( ('M', 'Male'), ('F', 'Female'), ) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=200, default='') surname = models.CharField(max_length=200, default='') gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDERS) class PersonalInformationForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = PersonalInformation fields = ['first_name', 'surname', 'gender'] Thank you very much and I apologize for the very basic question but I have spent hours trying to figure it out and am just going around in circles. -
Does enabling HTTP/2 in Daphne preclude Daphne's server pushed events feature from working?
The HTTP/2 Support section of the Daphne GitHub page (https://github.com/django/daphne#http2-support) says: Daphne only supports "normal" requests over HTTP/2 at this time; there is not yet support for extended features like Server Push. I plan on using Daphne for its server push feature. Does the above statement imply I should not even try to enable HTTP/2 because it would prevent the server push feature from working at all? -
