Hello,
I want to set the "default" value as a randomly generated String for
the promotion_code part of my Promotion model, for that the
code_generate function is used.
The issue with the code below that it seems like
default=code_generate() generates this random string once every server
start thus assigning the same value. I can see that by the admin
panel, every time I try to generate a new Promotion, it gives me the
exact same string.
Here is the code:
#generate a string, which is not already existing in the earlier
Promotion instances
def code_generate():
while 1:
from django.conf import settings
import random, string
prom_code = ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase +
string.digits) for x in range(6))
try:
Promotion.objects.get(promotion_code=prom_code)
except:
return prom_code
class Promotion(models.Model):
purchase = models.ForeignKey('Purchase')
promotion_code =
models.CharField(max_length=20,unique=True,default=code_generate())
