Is it ok to use the anaconda distribution for web development?
I started learning Python working on projects involving data and following tutorials advising to install the anaconda bundle, to take advantage of the other libraries coming with it. So did I and I got confortable with it, I liked the way it manages environments. During the last months, I have been teaching myself web development with django, flask, continuing to use the anaconda python. But most of the time I install the dependencies I need with pip install though (inside the conda environment). I've never seen any tutorials or podcasts mentioning the conda environment as an option for developing web apps so I start to get worried. Is it for a good reason? Everywhere its the combination of pip and virtualenv that prevail. And virtualenv isn't compatible with anaconda that has its own env management system. My newbie question is: Will I run into problems later (dependencies management in production or deployment maybe?) using the anaconda distribution to develop my web apps? -
Django Email Confirmation activation view not working
I am trying to set up an email confirmation for my django application. This is the activation URL: url(r'^activate/(?P<uidb64>[0-9A-Za-z_\-]+)/(?P<token>[0-9A-Za-z]{1,13}-[0-9A-Za-z]{1,20})/$', activate, name='activate'), and this is the activate view: def activate(request, uidb64, token): try: uid = force_text(urlsafe_base64_decode(uidb64)) user = get_user_model().objects.get(pk=uid) except (TypeError, ValueError, OverflowError, get_user_model().DoesNotExist): user = None if user is not None and account_activation_token.check_token(user, token): user.is_active = True user.email_confirmed = True user.save() login(request, user) return redirect('profile') else: return render(request, 'email/invalid_token.html') This is the error I am getting: TypeError at /activate/MzQ/4se-cb054dd0a60fb9f85110/ activate() got an unexpected keyword argument 'uidb64' Any help would be appreciated. -
How to re-sort search results in-place without having to re-send a request in django?
Here is the scenario: I have a search page, with some form elements providing multiple filter conditions (something like 'advanced search'), and probably a nested ListView to display the search results in-place. What I would like to achieve: Whenever the user changes some filter conditions, the result list below responds in-place (taking another request for this could be accepted); When the user changes the sorting option, the results change their ordering immediately, without sending another request, either synchronous or by ajax. From the server side it would be as simple as changing the order_by attribute of a QuerySet, but I would like it in a front-end way. So I wonder if it is possible to achieve that. It seems to me that the filtered QuerySet could be somehow kept at the client side. Is it possible by pure Django using some mechanism like session? Or will it have to take some front-end frameworks such as AngularJS or Vue.js? Or is it not even possible (If so, is there any approach taking the minimal extra network payload?) -
Why does Django server crash in PyCharm professional?
I am working in PyCharm professional version and I am not able to run Django server from PyCharm, though I can start it from cmd. After starting the server from cmd, everything works fine, I can reach my urls and get a response. When I am trying to do the same from Pycharm, first I get a windows error ("Python has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program.) When I click "Close the program", it does not close, and I can see the following in error in PyCharm: Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005) I am using the following versions: Python version: 3.6.1 Django version: 1.9.13 I have already tried Tools | Run manage.py Task | runserver , which gives the same result. I have found a way to make this error disappear in PyCharm: When I go to Run | Edit Configurations | and check "No reload", then the server starts normally and I can access it through the browser. Does anyone have a hint on why this is happening? What is the purpose of "No reload"? Thank you for the answer! -

Different behaviour of Django's django.utils.crypto.salted_hmac depending on uwsgi run manually or via service
Experiencing hard to understand for me behaviour. I feed salted_hmac function with predefined arguments - key_salt, value and without providing secret_key. When I run this via django command, I get some key inside salted_hmac function: key = hashlib.sha1(key_salt + secret).digest(). Same key I get, when running this from a django view run on runserver or from a the same django view while being run on uWSGI, which has been launched directly from terminal. On the other hand, when I run uWSGI via a service - the key in salted_hmac function differs. The only difference between those runs is a way it's run, I use exactly the same .ini file with uWSGI configuration. My guess would be that secret keys differ between running this function from terminal / from service, but when I print secret_key inside salted_hmac function - it's the same key... Moreover if I hardcode secret_key param when calling salted_hmac function - I get the same key generated in salted_hmac, regardless of it's run directly from terminal or from a view on uWSGI run from a service... -
after Model and many to many fields saved signal django

Django: Custom Metaclass Inheriting From And Extending `ModelBase`
I am trying to do some metaclass hocus-pocus. I want my own Metaclass to inherit from ModelBase and then I want to add additional logic by extending its __new__ method. However I think there is something strange happening with the MRO/inheritance order. Here is the basic situation: from django.db.models import Model, ModelBase class CustomMetaclass(ModelBase): def __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs): # As I am trying to extend `ModelBase`, I was expecting this # call to `super` to give me the return value from here: # https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/db/models/base.py#L300 # And that I would be able to access everyhing in `_meta` with # `clsobj._meta`. But actually this object is # `MyAbstractModel` and has no `_meta` property so I'm pretty # sure `__new__` isn't being called on `ModelBase` at all at # this point. clsobj = super().__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs) # Now, I want to have access to the _meta property setup by # ModelBase so I can dispatch on the data in there. For # example, let's do something with the field definitions. for field in clsobj._meta.get_fields(): do_stuff_with_fields() class MyAbstractModel(metaclass=CustomMetaclass): """This model is abstract because I only want the custom metaclass logic to apply to those models of my choosing and I don't want … -
Serve static HTML in Django
I’m pretty new to Django so forgive me if this is something I shouldn’t even consider, but I’d like my app to be able to link to a large number of static HTML pages (enough that creating URL paths to each one would be unreasonable) and there would constantly be more being uploaded (by me via FTP). I’ve got this working on the the development server by adding the path to those HTML files to my STATICFILES_DIRS [] but that doesn’t seem to work when I push my code to production. I tried setting up a STATIC_ROOT and running collectstatic but that didn’t help, and I’m also worried that even if I got that working, I would have to run collectstatic each time I uploaded new files. So my question is, is this even reasonable? Should I just avoid hosting these static HTML files alongside my project and leave them where they are now, on a separate server under a separate domain? The only reason I wanted to host them together initially is because along with the static HTML files, there is an SQL LITE database that my Django app displays data from (this is the whole purpose of my … -

How to prevent abstract model class from being included in migrations
I've made two very simple models with the help of an abstract model: class Activity(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length = 100) def __str__(self): return self.name __repr__ = __str__ class CardioActivity(Activity): pass class LiftActivity(Activity): pass The Activity model is just an abstract model that is not intended to be used for anything, only to save me writing the same stuff twice. But when I makemigrations, it creates a database table for it: (workout) Sahands-MBP:workout sahandzarrinkoub$ python manage.py makemigrations Migrations for 'workoutcal': workoutcal/migrations/0002_activity_cardioactivity_liftactivity_workout.py - Create model Activity ### HERE - Create model Workout - Create model CardioActivity - Create model LiftActivity It seems suboptimal to create a table that is never going to be used by me. Is there a standard way of preventing this from happening? -

Django rest framework reflect true REST API for function based view
I have three models: A 'User' will have a 'Wishlist' and a 'Wishlist' will have many 'Books'. To perform CRUD operations on Wishlist, I am writing my URLs and corresponding views. Right now I have one url: url(r'^wishlist/$', wishlist), and a function: # Get specific user's wishlist @api_view(['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE']) def wishlist(request): """ List all the books in wishlist of a specific user/Update/add/delete """ if request.method == 'GET': books = Book.objects.filter(wishlist__user=request.user) serializer = BookSerializer(books, many=True) return Response(serializer.data) elif request.method == 'POST': ... elif request.method == 'PUT': ... elif request.method == 'DELETE': ... My question is- having such one function with one url and all four methods is a correct way to build true REST API, or should I separate them? Considering for example, for PUT and DELETE methods, I perhaps also could send wishlist_id in the url and handle accordingly. In current code snippet, I will have to filter against request.user -
