Retrieving values from backwards relationship as a list of integers instead of list of tuples?
Right now I have a column named 'Value' in my 'Data' model, which has a ForeignKey from 'FOO' model: class FOO(models.Model): label = models.CharField(max_length=10, primary_key=True) ... class Data(models.Model): label = models.ForeignKey(Tickers, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Volume = models.FloatField(default=0) ... I'm fetching related objects as follows: v = FOO.objects.get(pk='something') vol = v.foo_set.values_list('Volume') and a get a list of tuples, which, afterwards, I have to convert to list integers with list comprehension. Is there a more elegant way to get a list of integers directly? Thanks -

How to deserialize nested serializers with Django Rest Framework

django and mysql - select distinct column with filters
suppose, I have a table with 3 columns: create table t1 (c1 int, c2 int, c3 int) i want to return a list of distinct values of c2 after applying filters on c1, c2 and c3 at the SQL level, I can do this easily: select distinct (c1) from t1 where c1=10 and c2>30 and c3 in (1,2,3) what is the best way to do so in django? I don't want to use .raw SQL since the filters are dynamic and it will be a nightmare to build the appropriate SQL query (there are more than 30 columns in the real table). is there a way to create a queryset with filters against all the table colums that will return only sub columns of the table? if so the distinct() would have worked Thanks for any tip Eyal -
Error: No UserDetails model is Created
I'm trying to reduce the image size before upload. I'm using default User model given by django & linking it to another model just to add few more things to the user profile. This is how models.py looks like, class UserDetails(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User) profile = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_image', blank=True) ... def save(self, *args, **kwargs): img = Image.open(self.profile) resize = img.resize((240, 240), Image.ANTIALIAS) new_image = BytesIO() resize.save(new_image, format=img.format) temp_name = self.profile.name self.profile.save(temp_name, content=ContentFile(new_image.getvalue()), save=False) super(UserDetails, self).save(*args, **kwargs) Problem is that when I'm signing up with fields username, first_name & password, it's not creating a UserDetails model along with that user. So, if I try to visit any user's profile it gives an error, no UserDetails model is present. If I remove the image compression code from the model & sign up again everything starts working perfectly fine. How can we fix that? Thank You . . . -

Is possible to monitor a celery task in a django view without block the server
I have a long running task that I need to decouple from my normal django app. Is called from several clients, and wonder if is possible to give them the ilusion of a synchronous call, where the server take the job of monitor the job and return back when it finish. This mean, that I only need to offload the server and not need to worry about blocking the clients (this is already solved). @task def sync(): # A long process here... So, in my view is possible to do something like: def sync_database(request): while timeout(60): #Monitor task, if error or result: sleep(1) return sync.result without kill the performance? -

Queryset contentype show fields name and values in template table
I got a view that receives a model and field the user passes via post (existing model and field inside the app of course) and makes a queryset filter on it, then i need to show in my template that result in a table (name fields must be the column headers) and their respective values. This what i got so far trying to serialize the queryset result in order to make it easier to show in template: Views.py: from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType class CommitteeReport(BaseView): template_name = 'committee/committee_report.html' def post(self, request, **kwargs): myfield = request.POST['field'].lower() my_model = request.POST['model'].lower() queryset_obj = ContentType.objects.get(model = my_model).model_class().objects.filter(**{myfield:True}) return render(request, self.template_name,{ 'requirements': queryset_obj, }) And my template: <div class="tab-pane active" id="tab_1"> <table class="datatable table table-striped table-hover" cellspacing="0"> <thead> <tr> {% for key in requirements %} <th>{{ key.fields }}</th> {% endfor %} </tr> </thead> <tbody> {% for item in requirements %} <tr>{{ item.value }}</tr> {% endfor %} </tbody> </table> </div> Thing is, i don't get result or if i change the tag inside the termplate, i get the objects dictionary for every row. Any idea of how to achieve what i need ?, thanks in advance. -

Aldryn NewsBlog Designing a Template
The documentation for aldryn news-blog is very vague and i don't understand how to use articles. I'm trying to make a section page where each instance of an article creates a panel with the article's featured image and the name as the footer which will also be a button. Each article will create a new column. When there is 4 articles in a column, a new row will be started for the next article. I constantly receive the following errors when I adjust.

Django ManyToManyField that only works one way
I have my models set up as follows: class Product(models.Model): related_products = models.ManyToManyField('self', blank=True, related_name='related_products') As you can see, the relation is to itself. Now, lets say I have 3 products in my database: A, B, C. Product B's related product is Product C. Now, if I add Product B to the related product for product A, then Product B's related product changes from C to A, C. I don't want this, I want the change to only go one way. If I add B to A's related products, then B's related product won't change. Hope this is clear. How can I do this? Thanks! -

How to deserialize data from multiple sources for one model using DRF?
I am transitioning some data over to use DRF. I have a POST endpoint that takes a JSON payload, parses relevant fields, and creates multiple objects out of that data. Each subsequent object created also relies on the previous object created (see example below). I am trying to figure out how to accomplish below, using DRF to deserialize data. It doesn't exactly have to be modeled like the code below, but I need the same end result. def job_start(request, plat_name="other", script_version="1"): a_product, created = Product.objects.get_or_create(name="Mobile") a_platform, created = Platform.objects.get_or_create(name=plat_name) tool, created = Tool.objects.get_or_create( product=a_product, platform=a_platform, url=jenkins_dump.url) job, created = Job.objects.get_or_create(name=jenkins_dump.job_name, tool=tool) job_in_progress, _ = Status.objects.get_or_create(name="IN_PROGRESS") start_time_raw = datetime.fromtimestamp(jenkins_dump.start_time / 1000) job_execution = JobExecution.objects.create(build_id=jenkins_dump.execution_number, job=job, time_start=start_time_raw, status=job_in_progress, pipeline_script_version=script_version) # what I want to do # serializer = ProductSerializer(request.data) # if serializer.is_valid(): # serializer.save() # serializer = ToolSerializer(request.data) # if serializer.is_valid(): # serializer.save() I'm wondering how I can serialize all these values and then when I create an object, append it to the serialized data, then pass that serialized data to the next object serializer, etc. -
Django. Comparing the model fields before saving for the admin panel

returning record count in django restful api
I have a very complex API that accepts different filter fields via POST request. the result is a list of items from the database. The total result set can be thousands of items if the user does not filter good. The API will be returning only 30 items but I want to add the total amount of items that satisfied the search conditions. I know that I can add a custom field in the Serializer class to return the count but I don't know how to access the queryset to query for the count(). I am sure there is a simple solution for this which I am missing Thanks Eyal -
