Error Message: "No module named 'django.core.urlresolvers".Even though I've replaced the module
I was trying to create tables in my database by executing the command on the django shell in the Windows CLI migrate.py syncdb It returned with the error message django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error importing debug panel debug_toolbar.panels.request: "No module named 'django.core.urlresolvers'" After reading up to resolve my problem I discovered it is because the module django.core.urlresolvers is not available in versions of python higher than 1.9 and django.urls is the more suitable module. I replaced the former module in my code with the latter from django.urls import reverse and somehow still manage to get the same error. How do I resolve this? Thanks in advance. -

Create custom template tag
I have a model that has a method which needs a parameter (the request.user.some_field) to do the job. So, to send this request.user, I've created a template tag. extra_tag.py from django import template register = template.library() @register.simple_tag def precio(sub_medida, tipo_usuario): return sub_medida.precio_venta(tipo_usuario) and when i go to the template where is loaded, I get the following error: on template: 'module' object is not callable on console: "../../extra_tag.py", line 3, in register = template.library() I don't know if this helps, but i followed this documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/custom-template-tags/ Thanks in advance.. -
Django - optional url parameter returns null
I'm using an optional url parameter using this solution: If the optional argument isn't set, I get "null" in the browser url after the template is rendered: http://localhost:8000/home/Guest/create/null urls.py path('home/<str:username>/create', views.CreateModel.as_view(), name='model_create'), path('home/<str:username>/create/<int:pk>', views.CreateModel.as_view(), name='model_create_id'), views.py class CreateModel(generic.FormView): template_name = 'pythonmodels/user_content/createModel.html' form_class = CreateModel There are a lot of posts on optional url arguments, but I'm lost on where to add a default value inside the class based view if the argument is empty, so it would look like: http://localhost:8000/home/Guest/create Thanks in advance. -
Django Rest and Axios
I am trying to post data using DRF and Axios. I have tried a couple different options so far with the same result, 403 (Forbidden). I am able to get data using axios.get but not able to post data.

Using redirect url to clear GET paremeters with SessionWizard from django-formtools
I'm using a SessionWizard in my view and my use case is that want to create a link which bypasses step 1 of the wizard. This step represents simply selecting a plan. So, these links would have hrefs of say, url/?plan=0, url/?plan=1.... etcetera In the get view of the wizard I'm capturing whether there are parameters in request.GET and submitting the first step of the form by building the request.POST QueryDict and calling the wizard's post view to go to the next step. However, since it just calls self.render which returns a TemplateResponse the ?plan=* is left in the url. Is there a way to redirect to the next step so this parameter is removed? -
Django Rest Framework serializing nested data
I am trying to serialize data in this Serializer but I am always getting the output {} Here is my serializer: class RelationshipSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): user = UserSerializer(read_only=True) related_user = UserSerializer(read_only=True) class Meta: model = models.Relationship fields = ( 'user', 'related_user', ) Here is my view: related_user_id = body["related_user"] related_user = models.User.objects.get(id=related_user_id) user = self.get_object() user_serializer = serializers.UserSerializer(user).data related_user_serializer = serializers.UserSerializer(related_user).data # user_serializer and related_user_serializer return valid data. data = {"user": user_serializer, "related_user": related_user_serializer} serializer = serializers.RelationshipSerializer(data=data) serializer.is_valid() # valid return Response(serializer.data) I am getting the id of related_user from post request then getting the queryset of the actual object, and user is the id passed in the url: user/{1}/. I then serialize each user and create a dictionary to pass to RelationshipSerializer. The serializer returns valid but the response is {}, what did I do wrong? -
Logging errors in DRF using Sentry
Am trying to get Django logging working with Django Rest Framework and Sentry. Using the LOGGING entry below, I am able to invoke a logging.error("some error") from my own defined modules running as Celery workers and I can see the error is being pushed to Sentry. Unfortunately, when I invoke the same in a Django Rest Framework Serializer.py or a View.py the errors are not being captured by Sentry. Is there a parameter am missing maybe in DRF or Django to allow them to send errors to Sentry? Below is a sample that is not getting logged. serializer.py import logging logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) class MySerializer(serializers.Serializer): def validate(self, data): logger.error("Log an error") The config below was auto generated using cookie cutter LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': True, 'root': { 'level': 'WARNING', 'handlers': ['sentry', ], }, 'formatters': { 'verbose': { 'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s ' '%(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s' }, }, 'handlers': { 'sentry': { 'level': 'ERROR', 'class': 'raven.contrib.django.raven_compat.handlers.SentryHandler', }, 'console': { 'level': 'DEBUG', 'class': 'logging.StreamHandler', 'formatter': 'verbose' } }, 'loggers': { 'django.db.backends': { 'level': 'ERROR', 'handlers': ['console', ], 'propagate': False, }, 'raven': { 'level': 'DEBUG', 'handlers': ['console', ], 'propagate': False, }, 'sentry.errors': { 'level': 'DEBUG', 'handlers': ['console', ], 'propagate': False, }, … -
Saving user modified data
I've done a lot of Googling and I can't figure out the best approach to this. I have a database that lists tasks required for users to complete a project. The user can modified material quantities associated with each task and the system will calculate the total cost. I'd like the user to be able to save their project and access it later. I obviously don't want the base task model to be modified. I know that I can create a clone of the task object and save it right back in the database so that it becomes another row in the table, but mixing user data with system data doesn't seem right. I also don't like the idea of repeating a lot of redundant data in the database. Is there a way to only save the quantities the user actually modified? Something similar to a through table in a many to many relationship? What is the best approach to saving user customized data? Thank You. -

GoLang vs Python Django/Flask
I'm currently working on developing a front end for a monitoring system (sensu) and I'm a little torn. I definitely know python more extensively than go, but I really like go's concurrency a lot for something like this where I'm constantly querying an API for certain results and such. My question is: For those who have had experience with both, which one would you go with and why?
