Python django-admin startproject mysite
First timer here with Django and I am running into some issues trying to start the site with the Windows command prompt django-admin startproject mysite My pip install worked as I can import the module and check the Django version. I am also running Python version 3.6... >>> import django >>> print(django.get_version()) 2.0.4 I also created a directory on my windows machine so my windows command prompt looks like this: C:\Users\b\Documents\Python\Django>django-admin startproject mysite But I am getting an error 'django-admin' is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.' Any tips to try??? Thanks -

Messenger bots - latency on some messages
I'm currently working on a Messenger bot with Django. Sometimes, the bot takes time to answer. When I look at my server logs, I can see that the webhook does not send the request to my server. What can cause this issue ? Is this problem intern to Facebook ? On the developper platform, it is written that the API performance are lower at the moment, but I am not sure if my issue is related to that. Please notice that my server can perfectly send requests to Facebook through the SEND API. There is a latency only from the webhook to my server. I am using Ngrok to create a tunnel to my local machine. -

Cleanest Way to Allow Empty Scheme in Django URLField
I'm using Django 2.0 and trying to allow users to input a link to their website in a django ModelForm. I would like for my URLField to validate urls even when they have no scheme prefix. I have read this solution: django urlfield http prefix. I'm wondering if there is a way to achieve this without writing my own custom regex in a RegexValidator. It doesn't seem like a very DRY solution to repeat all of the regex logic that is built into the URLValidator. I want to do something like the below: website = models.CharField(max_length=400, blank=True, null=True, validators=[URLValidator(schemes=['', 'http', 'https', 'ftp', 'ftps'])]) This obviously doesn't work because of the way the URLValidator's call method validates against the given schemes. def __call__(self, value): # Check first if the scheme is valid scheme = value.split('://')[0].lower() if scheme not in self.schemes: raise ValidationError(self.message, code=self.code) Adding an empty string to the schemes list doesn't work because splitting the url in this way returns the entire URL (as a user typically does not include :// if that user is not including a scheme prefix). Now, I could subclass URLField and overwrite the entire call method in order to change the way that it handles … -
Django Admin inlineformsets with custom forms and/or custom fields

Django: Aggregate (sum) of a field on two different set of data in a single query
My Model looks something like: Class Transaction(models.Model): type = models.CharField(max_length=255, db_index=True) amount = models.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=10, default=0.00) I have few transactions, few of which are credit and other are debit (determined by type column). I need to check the balance of all transaction i.e., (debit - credit) Currently, I could do that using 2 queries as below: debit_amount=Transaction.objects.fitler(type='D').aggregate(debit_amount=Sum('amount'))['debit_amount'] credit_amount=Transaction.objects.fitler(type='C').aggregate(credit_amount=Sum('amount'))['credit_amount'] balance = debit_amount - credit_amount I am looking something like: Transaction.objects.aggregate(credit=Sum('amount', filter=Q(type='C')), debit=Sum('amount', filter=Q(type='D'))) -

Social login from webview in Android
I have a website and since we are a startup, it changes frequently. We have developed our website in a manner that it is mobile friendly (looks good in mobile browser). Now, we want to launch our android app. To launch it quickly we just created a simple android app with webview that launched our website. Everything looks good but social logins (google, fb and twitter) they need sign in again by opening a custom webview client. I followed this question and it's answers and it works fine also. But, I want to know is there still a way in which I can leverage social login which android through it's account manager provides if someone calls code from native app and able to get user information from it. My backend is in django and frontend is in react. Also I am using session based authentication system. Also, I would like to know another good way to launch our android app. -
Using mysql AES encrypt and decrypt from Django
In my Django app, I want to use AES_ENCRYPT and AES_DECRYPT from the mysql database to encrypt and decrypt stuff. I know that python's Crypto package has AES support but the Crypto AES doesn't produce the same result as mysql AES although I made sure that both are using the ECB mode. So, now I'm doing this: sql = "select 1 as id, AES_ENCRYPT(my_field, '16-bytes encryption key') as field_enc from appname_table" encrypted_fields = MyModel.objects.raw(sql) This gets me the field values after encryption and it works fine. The issue is that the AES algorithm encryption final result has many unprintable characters, it looks like this: encrypted_fields[3].field_enc '\x88\xc5\xe4\xa0c?\xf8\x16|^1JB\x83{\xdf' print(encrypted_fields[3].field_enc) ���c?�|^1JB�{� So, now when I try to take this same value to decrypt it, the mysql replies with an error that says "OperationalError: (1300, "Invalid utf8 character string: '\x88\xC5\xE4\xA0c'")" I guess this is because I tried to send unprintable characters to the mysql query. So, how do I approach this? Please note that I have to use the MySQL functions because I encrypted some database fields using these functions so I need to decrypt them with the same function because Crypto's AES doesn't get the same results. Crypto keeps asking that the text … -

Pyinstaller with Django: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.contrib.admin.apps'
I'm getting an error when trying to run my packaged python application in cmd line: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.contrib.admin.apps' I tried the answer from pyinstaller 3.2 with django 1.10.1, but I still get the same error. The only difference is a ModuleNotFoundError rather than an ImportError. Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
