Can one use Django for web scraping into a database?
I have a seemingly rare problem as I cannot find any resources on my issue. I have a fully functioning Django Rest-API framework backend that interacts with a database. I need to continuously scrape live data from the web and feed it into the same database for my application to work. I have already built a multi-threaded python web-scraping script (using Selenium) that runs in a "while True:" loop meant to never stop running, but I am unsure whether to add this code to my existing Django project, a separate and new Django project, or a separate file altogether. Since my database is made up of Django's object oriented models, my scraping script would run best inside of a Django framework as it can feed the database with ease. I am however, open to other methods. Note, I plan to push all of this to Amazon Web Service soon. My question is: Is Django fast enough for my purposes? Or is there a better way to do this? Thank you for your ideas in advance. -

Caching base.html only in Django
My base.html template, which is extended in nearly all of my pages, contains a header that I never want to be cached since it contains the username of the current user. I have two pages where it keeps getting cached though. I tried adding a {% cache 0 base request.user.username %} for the header, but to no avail. I don't want to have to add a @never_cache since I want to keep most of the DOM cached. Is there a way to add a never_cache decorator/functionality to my extended base.html only? -

Reading and Writing to PDFs stored in Django Models.py
I apologize if this question seems silly, I am still learning Django. My goal is to Have PDF's stored in Models.py Have User input data Transfer Data to string type Print strings on PDF Store new PDF in user account. Can I store PDFs in Django Models.py under ImageField? Documentation doesn't seem to mention PDFs much. I'm thinking of trying something along the lines of: from django.db import models class Model(models.Model): text = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=False) pdf = models.ImageField(upload_to='media/pdfs') with a form.py structured like this: from django import forms from model.models import Model class textForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Model fields = ('text',) With a Views.py structured like this: def user_view(request): text = form.cleaned_data.get('text') can.drawString(10, 100, Model.text) existing_pdf = PdfFileReader(open("media/01.pdf", "rb")) page = existing_pdf.getPage(0) page.mergePage(new_pdf.getPage(0)) PdfFileWriter().addPage(page) return render(request, "app/fill_form.html", context) Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. -

Problem reading file with pandas uploaded to a django view
I'm uploading some excel and csv files to a django view using axios, then i pass those files to a function that uses pandas read_csv and read_excel functions to process them, the first problem i had was with some excel files that had some non utf-8 characters that pandas was unable to read, the only solution i found was to set "engine = 'python'" when reading the file (changing the encoding to utf-8-sig or utf-16 didn't work). This works when i'm testing the script from my terminal, but when i use the same script on a view i get the following error: ValueError("The 'python' engine cannot iterate through this file buffer.") This is the code i'm using: try: data = pandas.read_csv(request.FILES['file'], engine="python") except: print("Oops!",sys.exc_info(),"occured.") trying the same function through the terminal works fine pandas.read_csv("file.csv", engine="python") -
Levels of Authorization depending on Authentication method - Django
Using Django, I am trying to figure out how to limit a users permissions depending on the method used to login. In my specific case, a user will scan a QR code, (or let's say he went to a less secure login page)then he will only have basic permissions. If he went to the website and logged in fully, he would have fully authenticated permissions. How would I go about implementing this using Django? -

Easiest way to run a Python script on a website

Is it to use Django or Flask somehow on a XAMPP server or is there an easier way? All help is greatly appreciated! -

React SPA with initial state/route, served from Django
I am facing an unusual use-case with React and Django. My process starts with a POST request initiated by an app running on user's system to my Django server(The response is displayed on the browser). The POST request contains the data required for authenticating the user. Once authenticated, the server returns a simple HTML page customized for that user, including the details necessary to authenticate subsequent requests(like form submissions). Now I need to replace that simple HTML page with a react application. The problem is how can I embed the user specific info into the react app when returning the react app from server, so that I don't have to ask user to provide authentication information again once application loads on browser. Is this even possible while using react?
