Django: setting environmental variables with Supervisor
I'm using Supervisor to run Celery in the background of a Django application however it's not able to access the environmental variables I have set/exported in my virtual environment's postactivate file. I'm working in a local environment and running Ubuntu 16.04 on a Vagrant box. When I start Celery using Supervisor I get a Spawn error with the following exception: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty I know this question has been asked here before however I've tried many of the solutions and haven't found one that works. I've tried setting supervisor's 'environment' key in supervisord.conf under the supervisord section as follows but I get a "file not found error" when I start Supervisor: [supervisord] ... environment=DJANGO_KEY="key" I've also tried setting the same key in the same file as a django program which Supervisor seems to recognize however it's unable to parse Django's special characters. [program:django] environment=DJANGO_KEY="key" If I set the Django_KEY directly into my settings file everything works. I'm a bit new at all this and it's still a little foggy to me as to how the different programs that run gain access to the file directory, so it's very possible that I'm missing some core concept … -

Calendar in python/django
I am working on a website with weekly votations, but only the first three weeks of the month, so in each instance I have a start_date and end_date field. I'd like to know if there's a way to automitically create these instances based on the current date, for instance: Today it is 6 of March, and votations end tomorrow, so a function should be run (tmrw) that, taking into account this month calendar, would fill in the appropiate dates for the next votations. What calendar do you recommend me, and how shoul I do it? (Never mind the automatically run part, I'll go with celery). Thanks! -

Handling multiple query params
I have a create user view and here I first register a normal user and then create a player object for that user which has a fk relation with the user. In my case, I have three different types of users, Player, Coach, and Academy.

How to call a function from models.py with class based views in Django?
I would like to convert a user uploaded .docx file to .html using a function/method I have in models.py. I can do it with function based view with this kind of approach: models.py: class Article(models.Model): main_file = models.FileField(upload_to="files") slug = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) @classmethod def convert_word(self, slug): import pypandoc pypandoc.convert_file('media/files/%s.docx' %slug, 'html', outputfile="media/files/%s.html" %slug) And then I call the convert_word function like this in views.py: def submission_conf_view(request, slug): Article.convert_word(slug) return redirect('submission:article_list') What I would like to do is to call the same function/method but using Djangos Class-based views, but I am having trouble figuring that out... -
How to retry all celery tasks when OperationalErrors occur?
Occasionally when postgres is restarted I get a flood of errors from Celery because of OperationalErrors. Things like: File "/var/www/.virtualenvs/xxx/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 64, in execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) OperationalError: terminating connection due to administrator command SSL connection has been closed unexpectedly Is there a way to just automatically restart any celery tasks that end this way, perhaps with a 30s delay or something? I'm using redis as my broker. I could catch this kind of error in my task, but it'd mean wrapping every database command in a try/except, which would be kind of horrific. -

Django Query Best Practice
Wondering about some Django querying performance/best practices. It is my understanding that QuerySets are "lazy" as the documentation states and that the three queries below do not run until they are actually evaluated at some point. Is that a correct understanding and is the below snippet a reasonable way to query against the same table for three different filter values against the same field? # General Education general_education_assignments = FTEAssignment.objects.filter( group_name='General Education' ) # Specials specials_assignments = FTEAssignment.objects.filter( group_name='Specials' ) # Dual dual_assignments = FTEAssignment.objects.filter( group_name='Dual Language' ) Even more so what I am wondering about besides if my understanding of the above is correct is if the below is in anyway more efficient (I don't think it will be)? Also, if either the above or below is better stylistically for Django or more 'pythonic'? # Get all assignments then filter fte_assignments = FTEAssignment.objects.all() # General Education general_education_assignments = fte_assignments.filter( group_name='General Education') # Specials specials_assignments = fte_assignments.filter(group_name='Specials') # Dual dual_assignments = fte_assignments.filter(group_name='Dual Language') Thank you! -

user login not working with django, admin can login fine

Django ProgrammingError [42S02] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server] Invalid object name
I am using Django version 2.0.2. My Django application is connected to MS SQL (connection below). DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'sql_server.pyodbc', 'NAME': 'projectcreation', 'HOST': 'Host_name', 'OPTIONS': { 'driver': 'ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server', 'dns': 'projectcreation' }, } } So, I am getting the following error when trying to access my Django application: django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: ('42S02', "[42S02] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'projectcreation_partner'. (208) (SQLExecDirectW)") I believe that the problem is following: When I created tables (makemigrations+migrate) instead of creating tables that look like this: [projectcreation].[dbo].[projectcreation_partner] it created tables like this [projectcreation].[username].[projectcreation_partner]. So instead putting dbo which I actually expected to see it put my username.. I suppose that when the app tries to connect to db it cannot find it because it is looking for one containing dbo not username.. Of course, I could be wrong.. If you need more information please let me know, any help is greatly appreciated. Note: both db and application are called "projectcreation", "partner" is name of one of the models. -
Angular 5 deployment in Django app with hashing
I have a Django app that has an Angular 5 frontend connected by Django REST. Currently deployment only works with hashing disabled (--output-hashing none), because in uls.py I can only access a copy of index.html ("ang_home.html") in the template folder. ng build --prod --output-path .../backend/src/static/ --watch --output-hashing none --aot=false --env=prod I would now like to change my urls.py so that the newly created index. html in the django static folder is accessed directly. url(r'^.*', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="ang_home.html"), name='home'), The previous current solution is annoying because I would have to copy the index.html code into ang_home.html manually with every change. -
Django Cassandra engine timeout when creating data using models
I have a Django app running in a docker swarm. I'm trying to connect it with cassandra using django-cassandra-engine. Following the guides, I've configured installed apps and connection settings, and running the first step works great (manage.py sync_cassandra). It created the keyspace and my models. However, whenever I try to create data using the models or a raw query, there's simply a timeout while connecting without any other errors. Swarm is running on AWS with a custom VPC. Docker flow proxy is used as reverse proxy for the setup (not that it should affect the connection in any way) I've tried deploying cassandra both as a standalone and as a docker image. I am also able to ping the servers both ways. I am even able to manually connect to the django app container, install cassandra and connect to the cassandra cluster using cqlsh I've been banging my head off for the past few days around this... Has anyone encountered something similar? Any ideas as to where I can start digging Feel free to ask for any information you think may be relevant. -

Django channels 2, accessing db in tests

When I submit my form I'm seeing: 2018-03-06T16:56:23.569311+00:00 app[web.1]: 2018-03-06 16:56:23.569131+00:00 2018-03-06 10:56:23.569145-06:00 America/Chicago however the database stores 2018-03-06 10:56:23 How can I ensure that my submitted timestamps properly get converted to UTC? -
Double nested inputs in django request
So there's this question and it's answered but for PHP. Is it possible to make double nested inputs in html and parse it with Django? I managed to make it work only with one level and request.POST.getlist works fine if you just supply similar names. But if I follow that answer I get empty list. -
Django: Images inside conditional template tags
I'm trying to display an image based on certain conditions in a Django template, but Django doesn't seem to like use of the static tag within a condition. Code as follows: <td> {% if result.threshold == "normal" %} <img src="{% static "face-green-small.jpg" %}" alt="Green"/> {% endif %} {% if result.threshold == "high" or result.threshold == "low" %} <img src="{% static "face-amber-small.jpg" %}" alt="Amber"/> {% endif %} {% if result.thresdholf == "vhigh" or result.threshold == "vlow" %} <img src="{% static "face-red-small.jpg" %}" alt="Red"/> {% endif %}"> </td> The error I'm getting is: Invalid block tag on line 32: 'static', expected 'elif', 'else' or 'endif'. Did you forget to register or load this tag? I'm sure static is registered, because it's being used earlier in the template. Any guidance on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated. -
Creating docker secrets with user variables within django
I have django application that uses docker to create sessions using some user inputs. The spec for the services look something like this: { "Name": "dummy_service", "TaskTemplate": { "ContainerSpec": { "Image": REGISTRY_HOST + '/' + DEFAULT_IMAGE + ':latest', "Command": ["start-notebook.sh"], "Env": [LIST OF ENV VARS], "User": "root" }, "RestartPolicy": { "Condition": "on-failure", "Delay": 10000000000, "MaxAttempts": 10 }, }, "Mode": { "Replicated": { "Replicas": 1 } }, "EndpointSpec": { "Ports": [ { "Protocol": "tcp", "TargetPort": 8888 } ] } } I would like to create a secret for any variables that the user wants so that if somebody gets hold of my docker credentials they cannot view a users secrets by simply looking at the environment variables of their session. The user would give these to us through a POST request using a password form input. Their secret would be in a variable contained in something like this requests.POST['some_private_name'] in the back end of the application. Is this possible?
