Is there a way to filter in django and ignore hyphens?
I have an item with a stored name of A-123. I would like to be able to accept a search query that is either A123 or A-123, and both return a result. Is this possible with Django's filtering? -
django pagination with random queryset, ?page=1 content different to root
I have a CBV Listview for which I obtain and random queryset and paginate it, but, I see that there seems to a difference in content from somedomain.com/quiz/1 and somedomain.com/quiz/1/?page=1 My Listview looks like so: class Test_ListView1(ListView): template_name = "test.html" paginate_by = 12 context_object_name = "test" def get_queryset(self): queryset = list(SomeModel.objects.order_by("-created_at").values('id','question_field','some_json')) random.shuffle(queryset) return queryset[:24] in my urls, I cache my page so that it returns the same value for a certain period (50000sec) of time like so: path('somedomain.com/quiz/1', cache_page(50000)(Test_ListView1.as_view()), name="test1" ), but, I still see a difference between somedomain.com/quiz/1 and somedomain.com/quiz/1/?page=1 - they seem to be two different pages.. How do I make them the same? -
How to use django cache with REST Framework?
I'm fairly new to Django and try to get a working backend. So far, my backend is working fine, but I don't know, how to respond with custom data: What I have: Angular Frontend Django (REST) backend A working cache What I want to achieve: I want to call an endpoint (lets say backend/weather). When I call this endpoint, I want to check my cache for a weather value. If there is one, I want to send it to the client. If there is none, I want to make an API call, store the retrieved value in my cache and send the value to the client. How can I do this. This is what I have so far: models.py from django.db import models class Weather(models.Model): temp = models.DecimalField(max_digits=4, decimal_places=2) iconName = models.CharField(max_length = 200) views.py from rest_framework import viewsets from .models import Weather from .serializers import WeatherSerializer from django.core.cache import cache from urllib.request import urlopen import json class WeatherView(viewsets.ModelViewSet): queryset = Weather.objects.all() if(cache.get('temp') == None): url = 'https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=' + '...'; serialized_data = urlopen(url).read() data = json.loads(serialized_data) print(data) cache.set('temp', 22, 3600) cache.set('iconName', "test", 3600) else: temp = cache.get('temp') serializer_class = WeatherSerializer serializers.py from rest_framework import serializers from .models import Weather class … -

Django startapp producing too many files
This is probably of low importance, but is a bit annoying. When I run startapp, it keeps producing files with multiple numbers, such as admin.py and admin 3.py. Is this supposed to happen or is something wrong ? How do I stop this ? I will include a picture, but I should warn you that I deleted a couple of the files such as init 3.py.

not getting django password reset password_reset_confirm expected error
I'm want to have a password reset using email in my django project, in tutorials I'm following they say after adding PasswordResetView and PasswordResetDoneView we must get an error contributed with password_reset_confirm but I'm not getting any and code just works and there is no mail sending (I've done email configs using google app password, and sure enough at least at this point the problem is not the email), I also created required templates. this is the expected error: 'password_reset_confirm' not found.

How to pass two variables to a simple_tag in a template?

django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not serialize access due to read/write dependencies
I have been facing an issue lately. What i have is an API endpoint that creates objects in bulk. Just before returning an HTTPResponse, it launches a thread that calls another endpoint (within the same application) that takes the objects created in bulk (in the first place) and do some operations on those objects. For example: Updating these tasks with some additional parameters and publishing these tasks to a message queue. For example: If i created 10 task objects, the endpoint will then take these 10 tasks, update them and publish them accordingly into the sequence in which they are created. thread = Thread(target=publish_bulk_tasks, args=(tasks_list,token,host)) thread.start() This is the function that publishes tasks: import requests import json def publish_bulk_tasks(tasks_list, token, host): data = {"tasks": tasks_list} response = requests.post(host + '/api/v1/tasks/send_bulk_tasks/', data=json.dumps(data, indent=4, sort_keys=True, default=str, ).replace( '\\"', "\""), headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': token}).json() This is the error that i'm getting: django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not serialize access due to read/write dependencies among transactions DETAIL: Reason code: Canceled on identification as a pivot, during commit attempt.

There is a library Connexion for flask which creates handlers and serializers based on OpenApi Schema. So, the library can ensure that the API has a particular schema.

Placeholders using inline formsets with 2 different models
I have 2 models (foreign key) and I am coding a one single form for both models on the same view. For that I'm using inlineformset_factory like this: class ReferencesForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Referencias exclude = () widgets = { 'rt': forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'rt'}), } ReferenciasFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Solicitation, References, form=ReferencesForm, extra=4, max_num=3) I can change the placeholder for the References model as I'm using the ReferencesForm as you can see, but I don't know how to change placeholders for the Solicitation model. Do you know if this is possible? Many thanks -
DRY approaches for displaying fields in a ListView with custom [exclude]
I am writing a generic template that I can use across all my models that require a ListView. To do this, I know I can simply create a generic table in my template with a for loop over the object_list, but as each model is different I can't capture all the fields this way. Instead I have created a (abstract) method that each model inherits, which produces a list of fields, names and values: class MyModel(models.Model): def get_display_fields(self, exclude_fields=[]): """Returns a list of all field names on the instance.""" fields = [] for f in self._meta.fields: fname = f.name # resolve picklists/choices, with get_xyz_display() function get_choice = 'get_' + fname + '_display' if hasattr(self, get_choice): value = getattr(self, get_choice)() else: try: value = getattr(self, fname) except AttributeError: value = None if f.editable and f.name not in (exclude_fields or adminonly_fields): fields.append( { 'label': f.verbose_name, 'name': f.name, 'help_text': f.help_text, 'value': value, } ) return fields I can then use this in my template which works universally across any model: {% for obj in object_list %} {% for f in obj.get_display_fields %} <p>{{f.label}}</p> <p>{{f.name}}</p> <p>{{f.value}}</p> {% endfor %} {% endfor %} Where I am stuck, is I want to allow some customisation of … -
What is the latest tool for python to manage versions of python with a mac and brew?
I have currently python 3.7.4, and am using conda 4.8.0. Is there a current guide for installing python 3.8? Specifically I am looking to see what tooling to use for changing between versions on my MBP running Catalina (from Mojave), and also to be able to use the same tooling on a development server running Linux down the road- probably centOS or RHEL 8, most likely on-prem and simple- in a docker container for using with django to serve a simple webapp with. I am also working a stand alone gui in wxpython in parallel, but we can skip this unless there are issues that someone has encountered. I do NOT wish to involve docker at this venture, but address ONLY a way to install newer versions of python and test django framework with the environment that has the newer interpreter available. If the only route is to use a prebuilt image then so be it, but I want to learn how to deal with this to create my own with eventually (like in a couple weeks- I have also spent a few years with containerization) but need to make small incremental steps at this point. I do understand the … -
