Increase number of supported request by django on dev
I have a doc project where I have to test a massive ammount of urls and links. To do that I was using python 2 linkchecker. I upgraded to django 2.2 and python 3.6 and I am using a go binary called muffet (https://github.com/raviqqe/muffet). linkchecker was gentle with the server, muffet on the other hand is more brutal (even with timeout options and other settings). The problem I have is after some time, the requests timeout and the django local server crashes. I heard about somme kind of queue or cache for the local django server. Is anyone knows how to increase the django limit in order not to DDOS myself while I am running my tests before deployment (this tool is not running in production). Or any out of the box thinking to solve this. Just for you to know, I run the server in background, and call the tool on the localhost url. (from another terminal) Thanks -

eval() in python crashing the server
From the UI, I am currently getting a list of strings to my python function in the back-end via ajax as shown below in ans variable. ans = ["Address().address()", "Address().number()", "Address().city()", "Address().continent()"] Address is the class name and address, number and city are its methods I am using eval() to evaluate each of the strings in a for loop of 1000 which means 1000 such lists with evaluated strings will be stored in a final list. but when i loop for 1000, the server crashes due to this. Also, when i loop till 50, its runs fine...but gets crazy for large number of input number. are there any alternatives for eval()? Please suggest. -
How can I prevent losing cookies in a Django app, upon a callback done by 3rd party API?
I am trying to integrate Spotify login for a logged/registered user of my Django app. I am facing issues with preventing losing the session id (stored in cookies). The session id is lost when the api requests the callback uri. The flow so far is: Django/Website View: Login the user (using Django's authentication system; this sets the session id cookie in the browser) Django/Website View: User chooses to connect Spotify account (redirected to Spotify's login screen) Spotify View: User logs in and grants permissions Django/Website View: Spotify redirects to my application (redirect uri is set in the API dashboard; the browser is now missing the session id cookie) After the redirect, Django logs my user out of the app. I have noticed the reason to be a loss of cookies namely, session id and csrftoken. I need to preserve the session id cookie in order prevent the logging the user out. Is there anyway I can prevent the loss of session id after the redirect takes place? -

Django model query with not equal exclusion
I would like to create query that has a not equal parameter, but in exclusion part. All posts suggest to exclude the parameters that should be not equal. So what I need is : Object.objects.filter(param1=p).exclude(param2=False, param3=False, param4 != q) I try Object.objects.filter(param1=p).exclude(param2=False, param3=False).exclude(param4=q) but, as expected, doesn't work it is the same as exclude(param2=False, param3=False, param4=q) So how to do it, or how to rightly chain exclude statements, so that second exclude is pointed to first exclude and not first filter. -

How to switch design for each cards in django templates
How to switch between different card designs for each data in the for loop. <div class="col-1-of-3"> <div class="card"> ... </div> </div> <div class="col-1-of-3"> <div class="card"> ... </div> </div> <div class="col-1-of-3"> <div class="card"> ... </div> </div> These three cards have different designs, Currently facing trouble in switching these cards for each loop in the Django template. {% for cont in data %} {% ifequal forloop.counter|divisibleby:"3" True %} <div class="col-1-of-3"> <div class="card"> ... </div> </div> {% endifequal %} {% ifequal forloop.counter|divisibleby:"2" True %} <div class="col-1-of-3"> <div class="card"> ... </div> </div> {% endifequal %} {% ifnotequal forloop.counter|divisibleby:"2" True %} <div class="col-1-of-3"> <div class="card"> ... </div> </div> {% endifnotequal %} {% endfor %} Third card logic is wrong. I need to change this logic so that for each loop each cards need to be displayed alternatively. And another challenge is that after 3 loop it should close the section, since in a row only 3 cards are allowed. <section class="section-tours" id="section-tours"> {% ifequal forloop.counter|divisibleby:"3" True %} {% endifequal %} {% ifequal forloop.counter|divisibleby:"2" True %} {% endifequal %} {% ifequal forloop.counter|divisibleby:"2" True %} {% endifequal %} </section> -

Django channels: Alternative of Redis for windows machine?
As per documentation of redis, A.3.1 Drawbacks of Redis on Windows Windows doesn’t support the fork system call, which Redis uses in a variety of situations to dump its database to disk. Without the ability to fork, Redis is unable to perform some of its necessary database-saving methods without blocking clients until the dump has completed. Questions: 1) If I'm not wrong, this issue will occur when concurrent users increases? Is that correct? 2) Is it really a issue, if we deploy channels on windows machine(production server)? If yes, is there any better alternative of redis? Note: Can't use wsl2(as officially not released) or wsl as current windows server won't support. -

Setting username in steam OpenID authentication with Django Allauth
I'm trying to configure a new django application to use Steam's OpenID authentication. The issue i'm running into is that when a new user sign's in (no form to allow them to customize username/specify email address) the something (either allauth or django.contrib.auth) defaults their User object's username to user. That field is unique... so a 2nd user can't login. I can't figure out what/where the new user object is created so we can customize that field. We want it to pull from extra_data['personaname']) ideally. -
django pass argument from view to form only once
