Trying to use file upload without forms.py - 'InMemoryUploadedFile' object is not callable
So I'm trying to make a form with some data and an upload field. Django docs doesn't provide any good tutorial of doing this without forms.py. I don't want to use that. I tried to adapt their tutorial with forms.py (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/http/file-uploads/) with my project but I'm getting an error. "InMemoryUploadedFile' object is not callable" I've tried searching it on google but I didn't find this error. I obviously miss something, because when I used to do file uploads with Node I had to do more things, like setting file storage ect. I just don't know how to handle this in django. So what am I missing and why do I get this error? views.py def incarcarecv(req): context = { 'title': "title" } if req.method == 'POST': nume = req.POST['nume'] prenume = req.POST['prenume'] telefon = req.POST['telefon'] email = req.POST['email'] CV = req.FILES['CV'] cvUpload = CV(solicitant = req.user, nume=nume, prenume=prenume, telefon=telefon, emailContact=email, CV=CV) return render(req, "../templates/pagini/incarcare-cv.html", context) models.py class CV(models.Model): solicitant = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) dataUploadCV = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True) nume = models.CharField(max_length=12) prenume = models.CharField(max_length=12) telefon = models.CharField(max_length=12) emailContact = models.EmailField(max_length=40) CV = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/%d/%m/%Y') rezolvata = models.BooleanField(default=False) def __str__(self): return self.solicitant html {% extends 'base.html' %} {% load static %} {% block content %} … -
Django not routing Heroku Websokect to dyno
I am trying to enable Channels V2 for a Django app deployed in Heroku. The WSGI web dyno works perfectly but the second web dyno for ASGI channels never get the requests so when trying to create a websocket connection I get a 404 response. Here is the Procfile file: web: gunicorn app_xxx.wsgi --log-file - web2: daphne app_xxx.routing:application --port $PORT --bind 0.0.0.0 -v2 I have also tried with Uvicorn like: web: gunicorn app_xxx.wsgi --log-file - web2: gunicorn app_xxx.asgi:application -b 0.0.0.0:$PORT -w 1 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker Seems like everything is in place, just need to find a way to EXPOSE the wss endpoint -
Django sessions in hazelcast and shared cache
I have a setup with two instances of one service on django, and they store theirs cache in a hazelcast cluster by memcached client. (https://imgur.com/K8CMQeX) The sessions also stored in hazelcast. In this case, if hazelcast stores all data in one map (as written in docs), all sessions should be replicated between these instances. I tested it with an admin login and it is not. If I logged in on the first instance I also should log in on another instance. Sessions are stored in hazelcast correctly, cause if hazelcast goes down, Django produces an exception about session creation failure. Whats wrong? Hazelcast: 3.12, django: 2.0.12, python-memcached: 1.59. # settings.py CACHES = { 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache', 'LOCATION': 'hazelcast-ip:5701' } } SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache' hazelcast.xml <network> <memcache-protocol enabled="true"/> <tcp-ip enabled="true"> <interface>hazelcast-external-ip</interface> </tcp-ip> <network> The goal of this replication is to send requests from gateway to replicated instance if first instance goes down, sessions should be saved too. -

How can I use Cytoscape (javascript library) within Django?
I have a front-end developed that utilizes a javascript library called Cytoscape (graph networking), and I'm trying to develop the backend using SQLite and Django (planning to store the JSON files of the Cytoscape maps). The problem I'm running into, however, is that when I add the template HTML files (with their CSS and Javascript components), only the HTML is read and Cytoscape isn't used at all. I figure this is due to incompatibility with Python and Cytoscape. Is there any easy fix to this? -

How to solve problem with resizing image?
I have image page - / image_hash /? query_params The page contains an image. If there are no GET parameters, then it comes from the unchanged backend. Three GET parameters may be present: width - field for changing the image width width - width height - height size - maximum size in bytes They can be present both individually and together. If a parameter is available, it is necessary to produce or degrade the image quality. Do not change the original image. Use caching to not generate a new image when re-requesting. I understand the first two points how to do, but the last one cannot be processed without changing the image. I would be very grateful for the help -

How to disable view if not form submitted with Django generic FormView
Lets say that I have a generic class based FormView and after form submit I want the user to get to a new view. But that view should only be able to be displayed after form submit and not when the user tries to type in for example: /order-success This is some example view that I have: class Order(FormView): template_name = 'order.html' form_class = OrderForm success_url = # something here to do? def form_valid(self, form): self.obj.save() return super().form_valid(self.obj) So, what do I need here. Do I need to do this by with some middleware? Or is there some token thing I need to do. Or add something to the session storage to read from? What could be a good approach to this? -

Remove duplicates across django query sets

The distinct() method does this for single object, but not for all objects. I thought appending these three objects to a tuple might work, but that hasnt worked out. Can someone help? Thanks -
