When does the SQL execute in Django ORM
to begin with ,I give a example. # Student is a model class, and it has attributes: name, age, gender and so on. temp_students = Student.objects.filter(age=18) students = temp_students.filter(gender='girl') if i debug those code, i can get a SQL which may be "SELECT * FROM student WHERE age = 18"(called SQL-A).Then, when I reach the second line, I may get another SQL which is "SELECT * FROM student WHERE gender = 'girl' IN (SELECT * FROM student WHERE age = 18)"(called SQL-B). So, my QUESTION is when does the SQL-A and SQL-B execute? DOES it connect to database twice, and get two result set? In this case, is there any unnecessary spending for database? If not this, Why can I get the SQL looks like in DEBUG MODE? It will be great if there is any doc or article related Django ORM in the end of your answer. THANKS! -

Airbrake notifications disabled in Django tests?
I've configured a Django app called lucy_web to log errors to Airbrake using pybrake. In a module in the lucy_web hierarchy, lucy_web.lib.session_recommendations, I've defined a testing function: import logging logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) def log_something(): logger.error("Logging something...")

where is the working directory for django rest framework myapp.api.views?
I'm using a package called Telethon, a Telegram client wrapper. It creates and stores session data in session_name.session files after an initial login with client.start() and entering a phone number and confirmation code so I won't have to login with my phone and a confirmation code everytime I need to use the client. My api (djando rest framework) uses Telethon. Usually, when I fire up python console in the directory that contains session_name.session and do client = TelegramClient('session_name',api_id,api_hash) client.start() It recognizes the session_name.session file and I don't need to log in. In my case, api.views.my_func does the function above but it does not recognize the session_name.session file in the directory api as it is supposed to I'm basically asking: where am I supposed to put the session_name.session file for my myapp/api/views.py function to recognize it and use it so I won't have to log in (I can't from myapp.api.views; it requires input) -
What is a good practice to distribute a Django app to different customers
I've developed a Django v11.1 application (it uses a MariaDB database). Now, there are different customers interested on installing this application on their own sites. I'm looking for information on how to properly deploy the application to the different sites. My main concern is that I built the models and the database on my own site (logically), but not sure what's the proper way of recreating the database on the customer sites. Do I give each customer a custom copy of settings.py? Do the customers have to run manage.py migrations on their site, in order to create the database? I'd like to share some initial data so that customers don't have to enter data manually. Does Django have a tool that creates a fixtures file from my existing database? In future releases, if I made changes to my database, how would they get propagates to the customer sites? Is it just matter of sharing the migrations files, and having them playing the same on their sites? Thanks! -

How to serving a django with Apache and Cherrypy
I have a problem and would like a help! I have a django application, which is on an apache server. It was running normally until you upgraded to django 2.0.5. The application is served with cherrypy and apache. Where apache does the reverse proxy role. When I type the address, it removes the targeting created by apache. For example: The domain is "www.example.com" and the application is located at "www.example.com/app". When entering the address of the application in the browser, it redirects to the login page, but removing "/app/", thus making "www.example.com/security/enter", when it should be "www.example.com/app/security/enter". If I manually put the "/app/" system works normally, server the static files and everything else, but when requesting a new page, it always removes the "/app/", forcing it to manually put to work. Below is the template I used to get the application up and running: File app.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d/: <VirtualHost *:*> ServerName example.com ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /app/ http://example.com:8000/ ProxyPassReverse /app/ http://example.com:8000/ </VirtualHost> File cps.py (cherrypy script): #!/opt/app/env/bin python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "app.settings" import cherrypy import django django.setup() from django.conf import settings from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler class DjangoApplication(object): HOST = "0.0.0.0" PORT = 8000 def mount_static(self, … -
Is custom Django user model with only one field possible?
I need a custom user model in Django with only one field to authenticate. Because the users of my website will not have an email or password. They will be logged in with only one string (like token generated immediately). If the string matches with the another string/token defined by my system, the user should be logged in. How could it be possible? Thanks -
Any hosting site relevant to host Django App?
I am currently using PythonAnywhere to host a Django app, however, the PythonAnywhere server is too slow that it takes quite more time compared to other sites sending responses. It also takes lot of time uploading images. (It's slow though I am paying for the account.) Is there any other sites that Django apps can be hosted? It is better if I can set static files' path easily, download files (including script files) on the server, and so on. It's better if the functions and UI are similar to PythonAnywhere, since I'm used to it. -

What's the SIMPLEST way to make a DJANGO Registration page?
I'm relatively new to Django but have spent countless hours this past week learning how to make webapps. I've bounced around from numerous tutorials promising to make a user registration, but they have all led my pages to crash and turn completely blank and white. I'm now starting over once again, but this time I made an app COMPELETY devoted to user login/logout/registration. I have finally got my login to work, but that doesn't serve me any good since I don't have any user accounts. I'm now just asking for a really simple way for me to make a user registration page to which it allows users to make an account in order to view the homepage and be able to edit stuff on it. I have seen multiple tutorials and documentations, and really am hoping that someone can give me a straight answer to this. However if it's necessary I'm willing to look at a youtube tutorial (even though it lead me to have trust issues) and if it's really necessary I can look at a documentation. Thanks in advance. If it helps, this is what my code looks like so far: (it's also worth mentioning that I'm using … -

Proper declaration of an empty Django PostgreSQL JSONField default value in migration file
I'm a little lost interpreting Django's explanation of applying a default value to a PostgreSQL JSONField: If you give the field a default, ensure it’s a callable such as dict (for an empty default) or a callable that returns a dict (such as a function). Incorrectly using default={} creates a mutable default that is shared between all instances of JSONField. So in my model file I've declared the default as such foo = JSONField(default=dict()) however when I generate the migration operation for the new field this is the result migrations.AddField( model_name='bar', name='foo', field=django.contrib.postgres.fields.jsonb.JSONField(default={})) I'm just not sure whether or not this result is in accordance with the documentation's suggestion. Is this valid, or should I modify the generated default to call dict()? -

How can I show error messages in change_password in Django
I'm struggling to show error message in change_password in Django. I tried all the ways I know to show errors in the template file, but nothing shows up when I put some wrong information on purpose.

So jQuery works beacuase the console.log('Test') works and in my terminal it says "GET /load/ HTTP/1.1" 200 484 which is fine as well. I think I messed up the ajax somehow. I am not sure though. As you can probably tell I am a nooby but any help is highly appreciated.
