'ascii' codec can't encode... while uploading csv file
I've got class for uploading my csv files with holidays to my fullcalendar. It looks like this: class UploadVacationsView(APIView): def put(self, request, *args, **kwargs): try: # check file type mime = MimeTypes() url = urllib.pathname2url(request.FILES['file']._name) mime_type = mime.guess_type(url) if 'text/csv' not in mime_type: raise APIException(code=400, detail='File type must be CSV') vacations_list =[] csv_file = StringIO(request.data.get('file', None).read().decode('utf-8')) user_tz = pytz.timezone(request.user.common_settings.time_zone) schedule_file = ScheduleFile.objects.create(user=request.user) instance_hebcal = HebcalService() events = instance_hebcal.process_csv(csv_file, user_tz) And in the other class HebcalService, I've got a method that works with csv files: def process_csv(self, csv_file, user_tz): events = [] csv_input = csv.reader(csv_file.readlines(), dialect=csv.excel) curr_row = 1 start_date = None end_date = None start_name = None holiday_name = '' last_event = {'subject': '', 'date': '', } for row in list(csv_input)[1:]: subject, date, time, _, _, _, _ = row[:7] curr_row += 1 row = [unicode(cell.strip(), 'utf-8') for cell in row] if 'lighting' in subject and not start_date: start_date = user_tz.localize(format_datetime(date, time)) if date == last_event['date']: start_name = last_event['subject'] Everything is ok when working with english holiday's names but when I encounter hebrew names it shots an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/stas/work/vacation/vmode/apps/marketplaces/base/api/views.py", line 47, in put events = instance_hebcal.process_csv(csv_file, user_tz) File "/home/stas/work/vacation/vmode/apps/marketplaces/base/services/hebcal.py", line 106, in process_csv for … -
bootstrap link is not correct

Django server not making changes to CSS
I'm pretty new to Django. I started an app, made template and static directories, add them to the project settings and ran the server by following this tutorial. Then I wanted to change some settings in my CSS file so I modified some lines. But when I ran the python manage.py runserver again(I ran on Windows), the changes did not take effect. The initial code of CSS is: body { position: relative; padding-bottom: 10px; min-height: 100%; background: #f7f7f7; } I changed the padding resulting like this: body { position: relative; padding-bottom: 50px; min-height: 100%; background: #f7f7f7; } When I ran the django server again, the new code was not taking effect. I checked the code with Chrome Dev Tools and found out the padding value was still 10px. I've been running the server again and again but with no change. Is there something I am missing with the settings? -
Show Django template with a camera stream
I'm trying to build a simple website in Python with Django. I want to load and show a template, and then show, on top of the template's background, the images acquired from the webcam for few seconds. Finally, the last image is saved on hard disk. The problem is that the template is loaded and showed only after the camera code finishes. This is the code: from django.shortcuts import render def takePicture(request): l = render(request,'pepper/picture.html') camstream() return l camstream() is the method that activates the stream from the camera, and it works as expected. It uses pygame, following this tutorial. Any suggestion? -
Django 1.9.2: Remove field from model very long
I have more than 2 million objects for the model. When I added a new field, the migration went fast I created another migration where I delete 4 fields - migration hangs for several hours How can I speed up the process? Does it depend on the number of objects? My migration for delete: from __future__ import unicode_literals from django.db import migrations class Migration(migrations.Migration): dependencies = [ ('multisession', '0008_add'), ] operations = [ migrations.RemoveField( model_name='mymodel', name='field1', ), migrations.RemoveField( model_name='mymodel', name='field2', ), migrations.RemoveField( model_name='mymodel', name='field3', ), migrations.RemoveField( model_name='mymodel', name='field4', ), ] -

Django with nginx and gunicorn
I have deployed django with gunicorn and nginx, and it works fine, if the django app is served on the root url, with this configuration: server { listen 80; location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location / { include proxy_params; proxy_pass http://unix:my_app.sock; } } However when I try to serve the django app on another url, it doesn't work. If I try to access http://domain/my_app/admin/ django tells me it cannot find the view. This is nginx config: server { listen 80; location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; } location /my_app { include proxy_params; proxy_pass http://unix:/var/my_app/app.sock; } } How could I make this work? I was not able to find any solution to specify something like a "BASE_URL" so far. Thanks -

django + apscheduler - How to configure APScheduler to use django db connection data in settings.py?
I have a working Django project with its database and model tables.Now, I want to integrate APScheduler and save APScheduler job in the same database as other tables, using the Django database connection. I have read the User Guide which gives examples of hardcoding db connection string into code: from pytz import utc from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler from apscheduler.jobstores.mongodb import MongoDBJobStore from apscheduler.jobstores.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemyJobStore from apscheduler.executors.pool import ThreadPoolExecutor, ProcessPoolExecutor jobstores = { 'mongo': MongoDBJobStore(), 'default': SQLAlchemyJobStore(url='sqlite:///jobs.sqlite') } executors = { 'default': ThreadPoolExecutor(20), 'processpool': ProcessPoolExecutor(5) } job_defaults = { 'coalesce': False, 'max_instances': 3 } scheduler = BackgroundScheduler(jobstores=jobstores, executors=executors, job_defaults=job_defaults, timezone=utc) But the config data I already have it in Django setting file. DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': 'xxxxx', 'USER': "manager", 'PASSWORD': "xxxxxxxx", 'HOST': 'localhost', # Or an IP Address that your DB is hosted on 'PORT': '3306', } } Can I just use Django connection? I don't want to write these data into another properties file to maintain two files. -

django CBV generic DetailView redirect if object does not exist
I have a DetailView which displays userprofile if the current logged in user has a userprofile created. If the user does not have a profile created, i need an else condition. Since im new to django and python, and even newer to CBV, i cannot figure out my next step. I'm hoping there is a way in def get_object() to redirect to UserProfile. Without a userprofile present it results in Related Object DoesNotExist error.

Django 2.0 - test using fixtures from dumpdata gives utf8mb4 encoding errors
I am using utf8mb4 encoding for my mySQL database. All my Django apps work correctly with it even with Cyrillic characters. But when I run ./manage.py test <module> and try to load a fixture dumped from the same database, I get errors regarding the encoding. One of the errors is: Could not load advert.Region(pk=1): (1366, "Incorrect string value: '\\xD0\\x9F\\xD0\\xBB\\xD0\\xBE...' for column 'region_name' at row 1") Then I set DEFAULT_CHARSET in the Django settings and the error changed to LookupError: Problem installing fixture '<path>/test_db_one.xml': unknown encoding: utf8mb4 As you can see I have specified the format of the fixture to be XML as it has better handling of the encoding.

Goal: I want to extract longlat tuples in the map key from a request.POST below. <QueryDict: {'map': ['(38.70053557156445, 149.81571853160858)', '(38.70060091643143, 149.8153966665268)'], 'csrfmiddlewaretoken': ###}> Problem: I used ast.literal_eval to extract the tuples but somehow only 2nd tuple is returned. markers = request.POST position = ast.literal_eval(markers['map']) I also tried looping over map with but this is giving me SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing on tuple parentheses. for idx, val in enumerate(markers['map']): position = ast.literal_eval(markers['map'][idx]) Finally, I tried list(map(ast.literal_eval, markers['map'])), but this returns the same SyntaxError as above.
