I'm with James on this one: I think it's probably a fairly useful tool to have, but it's not something that's necessarily appropriate for the core manage.py program. The debate isn't about what words to use to invoke it -- it's about whether having that functionality in the code is a good idea. The reasoning is that whilst it's not impossible to add this type of functionality, now we suddenly have a few dozen or a hundred more lines of code that need to be maintained for something that isn't really core functionality. It would be very easy to write a "getting started wizard" that leverages a lot of the stuff already inside manage.py. Have a look at the code there. You can see it splits up most of the functionality into separate functions (there's a command line arg to function mapping towards the bottom of the file that does just that). So a third-party application that wants to create some directories, fill in a bunch of stuff and provide the whole "getting started" framework skeleton doesn't have to replicate any of the existing work. Import django.core.management and call out to that. The extra stuff can then be kept separate and both sides remain maintainable.

Re: Mod_python + MySQLdb won't install ...
I've been having problems on CentOS as well. Then again I tried to upgrade to python 2.4, and the server is 64-bit. I was able to find some RPMs (check http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/MySQL-python) -- although with that I had to install some dependencies manually. Anyhow, turns out there's no RPM for 64 bit CentOS with python-2.4 (only 2.3). Also I wasn't able to compile from source, but that may have had more to do with 64-bit than CentOS.

But that link above no longer works.
Does anyone have some code for this?
I looked in Django Snippets and didn't find such a snippet.

Hmm... if we do it, this feels like something that should be kept separate from the standard manage.py; I can certainly see it being an immense help to developers who are just starting to work with Django, but I can also see more experienced users saying "I just want a blank app, without having to answer all these questions at the prompt".

Re: Database exception handling please
Hey all! I run into a problem related to this discussion. Somehow, someway, I'm getting multiple entries in my data model where I should only ever have one. I suspect it's related to the users hitting the back button or double- clicking a submit button (or something). But it baffles me how it's happening. I even have special code in there to catch duplicate attempts, but they are still getting through. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. The result, however, is everywhere I have Foo.objects.get(field = x), I have to be a paranoid programmer and change them all to Foo.objects.filter(field = x) ... otherwise I get 500 errors in places where it should never happen. I'm going to have to deal with this, so here's what I'm thinking: some sort of helper function that will do a filter() but act as a .get() in that it only returns 1, but in the event more than 1 comes back notify the admin that the integrity of the database has been compromised. Alternatively, I may need to research if there is a way to put a constraint on the database that prevents duplication in the tables and raises an exception at "insert" time. Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, how are you dealing with it?

Looking at it this way, we can consider the two cases: > z=Dic.objects.filter(DB_Word=worfromtext).distinct() This means, roughly, "give me a sequence representing all the distinct things which match these criteria". And Django can do that -- it returns an empty sequence, because there are no distinct things which match the criteria. In effect it says in response, "you asked for a sequence containing all these objects, and there aren't any, so here's a sequence containing nothing". > e = Entry.objects.get(id=3) Here you're saying to Django, "I promise you that there is one, exactly one, and *only* one object which matches these criteria. Go and get it for me." And when it raises the exception, Django is saying "I couldn't do what you asked -- there wasn't an object matching that" (or, sometimes, it will tell you there were multiple objects). If you need to use "filter" and check whether it found anything, this is a better method: >>> z=Dic.objects.filter(DB_Word=worfromtext).distinct() >>> if not z.count(): print 'ERROR!' The "count" method will tell you how many objects match the QuerySet, and testing it as a boolean like this will let you easily distinguish between cases where there are some objects and cases where there are none. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Try using Dic.objects.get( ... ) instead of filter( ... ). filter gives you a subset of the table. get gives you a single result. filter doesn't mind giving you an empty result. get assumes you wanted exactly one result, and raises an exception (Dic.DoesNotExist) if the object doesn't exist.

The difference between the two examples is that the get() method on a QuerySet return precisely one result. It raises an error if there are zero or multiple results that meet the given restrictions. The filter() method, on the other hand, returns all results matching the filter conditions -- this could be zero or more results. It returns an iterator over these results. So, if you are expecting there to be exactly one result and want an error to be raised in all other cases, use get(). Otherwise use filter() and either convert the results to a list (QuerySets support the iterator protocol, so they aren't lists automatically) or call len() on the result or use count() to determine the number of results.

Database exception handling please
Hello django community, I have a HUGE problem, and I would like to know if some of you guys can help me, the problem is: Im accesing a database and there is a big chance of not finding the item im looking for, this is the snipplet of code im using and the "solution" that I've implemented but it doesn't work as it should: from django.core.exceptions import ObjectDoesNotExist try: z=Dic.objects.filter(DB_Word=worfromtext).distinct() print z except ObjectDoesNotExist: print 'ERROR!' so the first part works well, if the object (in this case a word) is in the database I can do something like printing the word in this case, but if the object is not in the database and the exception is raised, I cant do anything, for example the 'ERROR!' message wont show, do you guys have any ideas of what could be wrong? I got this piece of code from the Django Database API: from django.core.exceptions import ObjectDoesNotExist try: e = Entry.objects.get(id=3) b = Blog.objects.get(id=1) except ObjectDoesNotExist: print "Either the entry or blog doesn't exist." I suppose this example works but I havent tried it, even tho im doing the same, I dont know what am I doing wrong, thanks for your time and help Gerard. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Best way to implement user-specific content?
Anyone know of the recommended way to set up user-specific content, where each user (except the admin) would see only his content, regardless of the view being used to access it? Assume that content is associated with users via the threadlocals method (http:// code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CookBookThreadlocalsAndUser). I'm hoping there's a preferred/standard way to set this up, but haven't been able to find it here or in the django docs/code.

Re: Deploying multiple sites on one computer using SSL
Hello, As noted previously I'm serving two independent, low-traffic django projects off a single virtual host in order to use SSL without a single certificate. Since I want static files to be SSL'd as well, these are served from the same virtual host. This seems to be working, with one mysterious glitch. All the dynamic stuff works fine for both sites. The problem I'm having is that static files from project1 work fine, while static files from project2 return a 404. For example, browsing to https://projects.mycompany.com/project1/static/img/logo.jpg returns the logo, while browsing to https://projects.mycompany.com/project2/static/img/logo.jpg returns a 404. All static files are like this, e.g. the project1 css works but the project2 css has no effect (b/c it's not found). I've checked for asymmetries in the settings, urls, and views between the two projects; they are basically identical except for "project1" vs "project2" in urls etc. I've spent a lot of time with Django and modpython and apache docs and still don't really understand what's going on. directory structure: /usr/local/projects/ /project1 settings.py urls.py views.py /static /css /img /project2 settings.py urls.py views.py /static /css /img httpd.conf: ServerName projects.mycompany.com SetHandler python-program PythonInterpPerDirective On # Turn Off for production, On for dev: PythonAutoReload On PythonDebug On PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython PythonPath "['/usr/local/projects', '/usr/local/projects/ project1']+sys.path" SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE project1.settings_prod PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython PythonPath "['/usr/local/projects', '/usr/local/projects/ project2']+sys.path" SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE project2.settings_prod SetHandler None [...

Re: Search feature
Another option for search is to use the google co-op thing- look in your google services. If your site is public, then it could be all you need. I've used it on 2 sites and they're non-commercial so I can switch off the ads. It took some time for google's indexing to settle down, but it seems to work fine now.

Since you're talking about static files, this shouldn't involve Django at all, because those files will just be being retrieved directly. See if there are any clues in the Apache error logs (what file is it *really* trying to retrieve, for example). Check that permissions are the same on both sets of files. Check to see what happens if you temporarily copy the project1 static files into the project2 location and try to retrieve them: if it works, there is a problem with accessing the project2 files specifically, if it doesn't work, there is a problem with the access path (because the same files behave differently in two different locations).

You have to be using the development version of django and not the
0.95.1 release as the fix in changeset [3490] wasn't backported to
0.95.1.

I just use the hosts file on my development boxes, for example put in something like dev.mydomain.com, point that to your LAN server IP in hosts, and set up a virtual domain on your development server- I'm using lighttpd. Use the local_settings.py trick for anything you need to set up that you don't want on your production setup. I use flatpages for all kinds of stuff, and this setup works well.

Re: Handling a page with multiple areas
Matt, For 'temporary' state which does not need to live beyond an interactive session with a website, I prefer to use a custom cookie with an expiration of 12 hours or less. Many times if it is just a CSS mark of some sort, I will just use 100% javascript to get the job done, as it means I can even cache the page being rendered for an added performance boost. If it is something that needs to move with the user (i.e. they log out, then log back in, or go to a different browser/machine), or cross users, then a Model is the only maintainable way of doing it. I might use the user session cookie, but ultimately it's data in the DB. For really complex applications, I do both. Store the data in a custom cookie, and if there is an associated user, then parse the cookie data and also store it in the Database. If you go this route you need to plan your data management carefully (merging issues for changing cookies). That is how the PyCon scheduling app works. This means I can cache the expensive to render times table, and let javascript to the context highlighting. It also means that you don't need complex AJAX talking back to the server to change state which increases server, bandwidth, and time overhead. http:://us.pycon.org/apps07/schedule/ -Doug --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Handling a page with multiple areas
Thanks.
The problem is that I then have to record this for each person, and
for each question
if I can find a lightweight way of doing this (in terms of my LOC, as
well as server activity) that would be better.
I thought that perhaps a cookie, which got deleted at the end of the
session would be better (doesn't matter as much if they got to remark
it next session).

manage.py startapp suggestions
I'd love it if someone made an intelligent startapp call for manage.py. At the moment, it looks like Rails... but doesn't DO an awful lot This is my very crude attempt, which first calls startapp, then does standard stuff that ALWAYS seem to have to do and ALWAYS forget like: Add a urls.py for my app... Add a URL pattern to load static images Create the folder to host the static images Put some examples in the views calls and add standard imports Create all the classes in models.py that I think I'm gonna need (but not call syncdb yet) Add __str__ calls to all classes, and Admin classes (it's easier to delete them than to add them by hand later) Docstrings, one day I may comment my code.I deliberately don't want to do any kind of auto-build wizard, because that would end up with code that I couldn't hack, or simply get ridiculously complicated, this is a simple "this is the stuff I get bored, or forget to type every time I start a project".I also don't want this to tell me how I HAVE to do things, but it'd be nice to have some polite suggestions in how to organise my folders, classes, views etc...I think this idea is ok... or.. it works for me... I'd love it if someone could make it a bit fabber...I have made a teensy weensy video so you can laugh at my accent as I try to explain what I'd like startapp to do... my code is also made available for your amusement :-)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXkRpRaHNu0regardstom
startapp.py
Description: application/applefile
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""This is meant to show how I think startapp should be a bit more helpful
with regard to us novice users, adding examples, adding common imports, adding stuff that
can be added quicker from the command-line than when coding in python (perhaps)
The idea here is that, IF there is a "good" way to do things then let's adopt it but not
force it on people. And that it's easier to delete stuff you don't need, than create it from scratch.
This file is also meant to be deliberately non-clever, so that it's easy to hack from top to bottom, to work the
way you work, rather than the way Ithink you should work... because to be honest I haven't a clue.

Re: contrib.auth logins "randomly" complaining about cookies being disabled
There is nothing special about that app. The login which is failing is the standard django one (The app just adds code for new account creation, e-mailing the registerant, and enabling the account with a unique key). I believe the problem you are running into is because the page is stale. That is you are using the back button and not reloading the page with the login form fresh. When the page loads a new temporary cookie is set. If that cookie is not present on the login submission, then you get the cookies enabled error. Other parts of the system will delete the cookie if they see it (including logout). So you go to the main page wich has a login form (cookie created) You load a different page with the login form (cookie created, again) You log in (cookie is seen, you are logged in and the cookie is deleted) You log out (cookie doesn't exist, nothing to do) You go 'back' to main page with login (page is not reloaded from the server, so still no cookie) You log-in (no cookie - Error message) If yo reload the page (hold the shift key down on reload), then try again - Works. Also you can run into this problem if you are using the cache middleware. Make sure the session middleware occurs BEFORE the cache middleware, in your middleware list. -Doug On Mar 21, 12:56 pm, "ashwoods" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > have you tried contacting the project maintainer? this is third party > code and unless anybody happens to use it, to answer you they would > have to go through his code. on the wiki page it says: > > >Questions?

Yeah, when you buy a PDF book from here: http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ They generate the PDF in response, and it sometimes takes a while. They basically issue a ticket, and they email you when the response is completed. I had a task one time that could run a long time, so I had the browser meta-refresh on the job status page until the job was completed. The only problem with that approach is if you have a -lot- of clients, refreshing frequently will put more load on your server. You can either slow down the poll or add servers... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Integrating web services with django
is there any reason you want to process the "webservices" on the server side? unless there is any special reason to do this, it looks like kind of redundant and actually that is one of the main reasons to use webservices (decentralized application model). that means you would want to spit out client side code that actually does the processing. there are some situations where you want to "cache" a webservice, so the server would do the service "fetching". both approaches are easily done with django.

Re: Handling a page with multiple areas
hello,
unless i misunderstood the question, you need to maintain some state
across multiple requests. if so, this is what the database is for. :-)
make a model that has your "marked" flag.

Handling a page with multiple areas
Dear All,
More of a design question than a technical query...
I've got a page with multiple 'areas' - some static text, a wiki bit
and a 'marking' bit (via a form). I'd like to be able to only allow
people to enter a mark once, after which views of the page should say
"Thanks for the feedback".
The problem I have is that from the 'base' view, if I mark the page,
and then go back to base view, I can do this (using a simple
'marked':True in the context and an {% if marked %} tag in the
template). But if I then edit the wiki bit, I lose the fact that I've
also marked the page.
I wondered if I could do this by passing the same context around, by
taking the request from one page and then passing it to the next; this
would (presumably) preserve the 'marked' bit. I tried this using
RequestContext, but it all went horribly wrong. So, please:
1: Any better ideas about how to do it
2: If the RequestContext idea is right, then could someone outline how
to do it?
Thanks,
Matt

Re: Suggestions for Django Presentation
Filters are unbelievably helpful when you have different people doing markup and development. The 'pluralize' filter, for example (as well as the 'humanize' collection), has saved us developers from having to write templae-side code to figure out if there should be an 's' at the end of a noun. This shouldn't be a programmer's job: it's a presentation issue and should be dealt with by the XHTML authors. Filters lets this happen. The concept is very simple to grasp, easy to demonstrate, and EXTREMELY useful! By the way, good luck with the presentation! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Integrating web services with django
When I say Web Services, I am including SOAP aswell as REST. So my django project actually becomes a portal to various web services hosted by external entities. So is the best way to do it, to have a job model which holds the various job data and have a process running which runs the web service and updates the relevant job model so when the user views the "results" view it appears properly. The view could return results if the result was retrieved within a specific time period, else it would return a "work in progress". Would this kind of thing work? So the "WS client process" and Django both share the same models and "talk" using the database? Is there any problem with this that anyone can see? Would this work?

contrib.auth logins "randomly" complaining about cookies being disabled
Hi! I've recently implemented http://code.google.com/p/django-registration/ to support user registration and authentication on a project. I've also created a form in a template that extends ALL other templates on the site. I'm facing the following problem: If I fire the django development server up and enter my login credentials on the site's front page, the login fails with the following message: "Your Web browser doesn't appear to have cookies enabled. Cookies are required for logging in.". What's weird is that I do have cookies enabled. What's even more weird is that ... ... If I try to login AGAIN using the same form on the page that shows me this message, I can login just fine. If I then go to the front page and log out, I can login from the front page without a problem. BUT if I logout, go to a random location on the site, and then back to the front page, I can't login again. The same behavior is present on all pages (~5), except the actual login-page. I've tested on both apache with mod_python and using the Django development server and on several different client computers. Browsers tested: FF 2.0.0.2 and Safari 2.0.0.4.

Python can't find the pynomics module to import because it is not in
the search path.
A simple workaround would be to add the path that contains pynomics
(i.e. your home directory) to sys.path in your Parser.py.
import sys
sys.path.append("/home/nathan/")
You can also add the path to a PYTHONPATH environment variable or put
a symlink to pynomics in your site-packages directory (which is
somewhere like /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages).
> However the import seems to work when I import it in views.py.
Yeah, Django sets it up in the path for you if you do manage.py
runserver.
The next error you'll probably get is about DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE not
being set. This means the Django framework doesn't know where to find
the settings for database connection, etc.
Again in your Parser.py script, try:
import os
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'pynomics.settings'
Sorry if I'm a bit vague - I'm new to Python and this is just what
I've figured out.

Re: New Forms/Newbie Question

The choices parameter is a list of (area.id, area.name) set like: # populate choices within form self.fields['areas'].choices = [(area.id, area.name) for area in site.areas.all()] Once the form is submitted and validated, I access clean_data['areas'] to get a list of the ids of all the selected areas. To get the objects for these ids I use in_bulk (because there are potentially several of them). # populate invitation object within form invitation.areas = self.site.areas.in_bulk(self.clean_data['areas']) So for your RegistrationForm, perhaps the choices for phone_type would be (c.id, c.name). Then you can set the type of a TelecommunicationsNumber from a completed form with something like: tele_num.type = TelecommunicationsType.objects.get(pk=form.clean_data['phone_type']) Scott --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: SESSION_EXPIRE

When the session is created, a cookie is set in the user's browser. If SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE is False (the default), the cookie is set to expire in two weeks. If it is True, the cookie does not have an expiry date and so will not be saved by the browser when it closes. It sounds like you have an unexpired cookie in your browser for a session that was created before you changed the setting. Delete the cookie in your browser and try again.

Re: Changing the database - attribute errors
I was using the same shell. I also tried shutting down the server, rebooting the machine and opening everything up again to see if that would make any difference but it did not. However, then a few hours later - it started to work again. I still don't fully understand the reason. I can only assume that my path was somehow faulty. However, that doesn't fully explain why Django was using my model file perfectly ok in some instances (such as in the Admin and in the DB), but not in the shell or through my views.
