Is there a static dead code analyser for Django?
Is there a static dead code analyzer for Django, which excludes such unused variable like 'template_name' or 'form_class' or class 'Meta'. I am looking for a dead code analyzer that reports me only the relevant codes as far as possible. I tried the vulture package, but I want to avoid this: asistar/tests/factories.py:32: unused class 'Meta' (60% confidence) asistar/tests/factories.py:33: unused variable 'model' (60% confidence) asistar/tests/factories.py:47: unused class 'Meta' (60% confidence) asistar/tests/factories.py:48: unused variable 'model' (60% confidence) asistar/tests/factories.py:60: unused class 'Meta' (60% confidence) asistar/tests/factories.py:61: unused variable 'model' (60% confidence) -

it is possible to add a keyword to python?
There are many keywords in other languages that miss includes in Python. For example: 'delegate' or 'sealed', 'interface' or 'event' can make the tasks much easier and readable, because you won't have to remember the functionality of the method, but instead use it as a keyword ... If there is no possible way to add a keyword and warn the interpreter from it, then ** please support this message ** so Python Foundation might see it, and consider this feature. 1. class Animals(abc.ABC): @abstractmethod def walk(...): pass 2. interface Animals: def walk(...): pass -

Why do Django-admin commands recommend using self.stdout() vs print()?
The documentation on writing custon django-admin commands includes the following: When you are using management commands and wish to provide console output, you should write to self.stdout and self.stderr, instead of printing to stdout and stderr directly. By using these proxies, it becomes much easier to test your custom command. Note also that you don’t need to end messages with a newline character, it will be added automatically, unless you specify the ending parameter: self.stdout.write("Unterminated line", ending='') I'm not quite satisfied with this explanation as it doesn't really explain why it's "much easier to test your custom command." Does anyone have a good example or can expand further on what they're getting at? I wrote a custom command using print() statements and had no issues testing, but it feels like I may be missing out on some features. -
Postgres Materialized Path - What are the benefits of using ltree?
Materialized Path is a method for representing hierarchy in SQL. Each node contains the path itself and all its ancestors (grandparent/parent/self). The django-treebeard implementation of MP (docs): Each step of the path is a fixed length for consistent performance. Each node contains depth and num_child fields (fast reads at minimal cost to writes). The path field is indexed (with a standard b-tree index): The materialized path approach makes heavy use of LIKE in your database, with clauses like WHERE path LIKE '002003%'. If you think that LIKE is too slow, you’re right, but in this case the path field is indexed in the database, and all LIKE clauses that don’t start with a % character will use the index. This is what makes the materialized path approach so fast. Implementation of get_ancestors (link): Match nodes with a path that contains a subset of the current path (steplen is the fixed length of a step). paths = [ self.path[0:pos] for pos in range(0, len(self.path), self.steplen)[1:] ] return get_result_class(self.__class__).objects.filter( path__in=paths).order_by('depth') Implementation of get_descendants (link): Match nodes with a depth greater than self and a path which starts with current path. return cls.objects.filter( path__startswith=parent.path, depth__gte=parent.depth ).order_by( 'path' ) Potential downsides to this approach: … -
How to store the user input in dynamic web pages to local storage in django using javascript?

How to get a http long connection by django and requests?
Some articles said if the http server and http client both use Connection: keep-alive in there header, then the tcp connection will be a long connection. So I did my test below. Client code: import requests import time url = 'http://server url' def session_req(url): s = requests.Session() r = s.get(url, headers={'Connection':'keep-alive'}) print(r.headers) print(r.status_code) while True: time.sleep(10) if __name__ == '__main__': session_req(url=url) From the client print we can see the server add Connection: keep-alive too But the tcp connection still not a long connection. # ss -tan FIN-WAIT-2 0 0 server ip:8004 client ip:40238 As you can see the tcp is not established So anything wrong about my code? How to make a long http connection? -
Django adding multiple m2m related model records using .set works fine, but how to also add additional model fields other than ids?
I have photos model and tags model with m2m relationship through phototags model. class Photo(models.Model): tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag, through = 'PhotoTag', related_name="tags") In a view I create a list of tag ids that I use in photo.tags.set(form_tags_ids) to create the new phototag relationships. This works fine and successfully populates both photo_id and tag_id fields in phototags model. However, I also have other additional fields in phototags model, other than the related models' ids, that I want to populate at same time eg created date, user_id to record who made relationship and when it was created. What would be best way to populate these other columns? The only thing I can think of is to not use .set and loop through the list of tag ids and manually create the phototag records but then I lose benefit of m2m in avoiding duplicate assignment of tag to photo, etc. -

Django - Multiple user types (ability to switch between them)
I am doing some pre-planning on a project I am working on and my approach to it. A part of the app is the ability to have multiple user types. For example, a Company and a Contractor account type. Though it's important to note that a company can also be a contractor. So the approach I was going to attempt to implement is similar to Upwork where there is one account, but they can switch between being a client and a freelancer if they wish. It would be ideal if the user didn't need to log out while switching between the two. I'm newer to the django framework and was hoping someone could shed light on the best possible approach to accomplish this while also taking into account scale-ability. -

Resolving sub-domains for Django multi-tenancy sites
A site I just got up is resolving the normal pages at the server IP address (eg. XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) but when I create a new tenant the sub-domains are not resolving (eg. tenant.XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX). I tried adding the sub-domain URL to the host file /etc/hosts but this did not work. I am looking into DNS servers but this looks like every sub-domain would redirect to the main URL which is not what I want since every tenant has their own schema accessed through the sub-domain. Is this true? Or do DNS servers just handle pointing everybody to the correct server? How do I handle sub-domains for multi-tenancy apps on a server? -
How to periodically repeat a function until success in background in Django?
I'm working on a Django project. I want to do a http request to an external server. But sometimes the external server returns 5xx. I want to retry request on the background until it returns 200. How can I do this?
