What happens when server request files exceed memory size?
I'm trying to figure out what happens when files of varying sizes are uploaded to the server at the same time and their collective size exceeds that of the memory. More specifically, what does Django do then? Does virtual memory come into play or are the files moved to disk? According to Django documentation, you can specify the FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE value which decides whether the temp file remains in memory or goes to disk. If I set this value to, say, 50 GB, and I send one or more files at the same time to the server, AND my RAM is only 16 GB, what happens then? I'm asking this question because I need to encrypt the files I receive at the server without saving them flat anywhere in the disk, even as a temporary file, due to sensitivity of the data. I want to make sure that under no circumstance the file(s) will be moved from the (volatile) memory to (secondary) disk storage in its original form. -
Can anyone help in Django image modal display in web template?
I'm pretty new to Django Framework for web designing. In my web project, I have a template which contains a table coming from Oracle database and it is designed by django-tables2. In this table, I'm having a column which is linked to local images stored on my local machine. When user clicks the link in the table, an image is displaying on the same tab. Now my question is can I display this image in a separate popup window or in new tab or in modal dialog box instead of displaying it in same tab? I have referred online for this but in most cases results are for Form modal and not for media files and I could not figure it out that how those would be implemented in my case. Please, can anyone help me in this? I'm using Django-Bootstrap for overall UI design, django-tables2 for table design, django-material for form design, Oracle database 11g, Python3.6 and Django 11.1. Thanks in advance... -

Save avatar from facebook in allauth
There are questions here which answer this, but my case is different. Instead of letting allauth create a new user I'm catching wheter or not the email exists and performing a login using user = User.objects.get(email=email) sociallogin.connect(request, user) social_account_added.send( sender=SocialLogin, request=request, sociallogin=sociallogin, ) But, I can't set the avatar here due to the way my conditions are setup and this may never be hit. The alternative is in get_redirect_url from what I see, but this isn't called if I use sociallogin.get_redirect_url so it seems theres opportunity for both to be skipped. There's a signal user_logged_in = Signal(providing_args=["request", "user"]) under account app in allauth but what if they have multiple socials connected? How would I determine the proper avatar to get... -
Walrus is not indexing the words properly
In my Django project, I am using walrus to cache location names. eg: New Zealand, New York City, Newcastle e.t.c So, when I am searching for a key 'new', I am expecting it to return all the above locations but it is only giving me New Zealand.

Sending data stream from python program to web app
I have a python program appending lines to a .csv file every few seconds. I also have a web app that was created using Django. My goal is to continuously read the data from the python program as it runs and display it on the website without having to refresh. My proposed solution is to send the python output to a server using requests.put(), and then read from the server using AJAX. 1.) Is this the best solution, or is there a better manner to connect the program and the site. 2.) If this is a good solution, what's the easiest way to get a server running to POST, PUT, and GET from? It can be local and will never expect heavy traffic. Thank you! -
Proper way to share temporary data between two users
Here is my case in django,i need to create a match between two users, users take turn, after one of them has finished, i need to send user1 score to user2 and vise versa. How can i create a match between two players? How do i store their data(scores) in a way that can be accessed for both users. Here is what i've tried : user1 sends GET request to get a user2 as a opponent by getting user2 id (i can say i made a match there), then after user1 finished he make another GET request with hes id and score to django. and here is where i stuck : I don't know how to send user1 score to user2. I don't know how to store the data so both users can access each other score. I'm quite new to django, so i did all that based on my basic knowledge of the framework, please correct me if i'm wrong and possibly suggest a better approach. -

nginx redirect with authorization header
I configured django together with nginx. Static files get served directly using nginx. It's all working fine, but the problem is, now I need to proxy a download from another source. The other source requires authentication, at the moment I am using Django's StreamingHttpResponse, but I want to somehow directly serve it using nginx. I know it's possible to set the authorization header in nginx using proxy_set_header, but the problem is that the authorization header is different for every user. Would it work if I just (from django) return a redirect and modify the authorization header of the request object? Does nginx have a solution for such exotic cases? Do I need to write a module to make it work, or does it even make sense to write a module because maybe it's completely the wrong way of doing it? Thanks in avance. -

Django Timezone Awareness - Data to be stored in UTC
This is my first time developing a timezone aware web app. I'm using Django 1.11.7.

Sum averages over date ranges in Django
I'm trying to construct a query in Django that sums averages that were taken (i.e. averaged) over a range of times. Here is the relevant Django model: class Data(models.Model): class Meta: verbose_name_plural = "Data" site = models.ForeignKey(Site) created_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_created=True) reported_on = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True) baseline_power_kw = models.FloatField('Baseline Power (kw)', blank=True, null=True) measured_power_kw = models.FloatField('Measured Power (kw)', blank=True, null=True) In my query, I'm trying to average sites' data over a range of times, and then sum those averages for each range of time. Here is the query I have so far, which I believe just gets the average of all sites' data over a range of times. t_data = Data.objects.filter(site__in=sites) \ .filter(created_on__range=(start, end)) \ .extra(select={'date_slice': "trunc(extract(epoch from created_on) / '60' )"}) \ .values('date_slice') \ .annotate(avg_baseline_power_kw=Avg('baseline_power_kw'), avg_measured_power_kw=Avg('measured_power_kw'), time=Min('created_on')) \ .order_by('-created_on') Do you know how I can proceed? I am using Django with Postgres. Thanks! -
Update django model from background task

I've got python manage.py dbshell running, monitoring the database tables and they aren't updating as the task progresses. I'm making sure to run python manage.py process_tasks, and it's outputting the correct print statements, indicating progress, but the database doesn't update until the task exits.
