Apache mod_python config problem
I've been writing a Django app at work using Windows XP and Apache. Everything works fine. When I bring the project home to run on Ubuntu, I'm having trouble getting Apache configured. I've worked on this problem for about a month but can't seem to get it resolved. It appears to be fairly common but none of the solutions I've found have worked. This works fine on Ubuntu and Windows XP: $ python manage.py runserver Shutting down the dev server and going through apache produces this: File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 86, in __init__ raise EnvironmentError, "Could not import settings '%s' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): %s sys.path = %s" % (self.SETTINGS_MODULE, e, sys.path) EnvironmentError: Could not import settings 'musicshare.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named musicshare.settings sys.path = ['/home/published/www/django/', '/home/ published/www/django/musicshare', '/usr/lib/python2.5', '/usr/lib/ python25.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload', '/usr/ local/lib/python2.5/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site- packages', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric', '/usr/lib/ python2.5/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ gst-0.10', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/ site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0', '/ usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode'] The exception output shows sys.path because I modified Django to display it. My app is actually located at "/home/published/www/django/ musicshare" This is my httpd.conf: ServerName music.mydomain.com DocumentRoot/home/published/www/django SetHandler python-program PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython PythonDebug On PythonPath "['/home/published/www/django/', '/home/ published/www/django/musicshare', '/usr/lib/python2.5'] + sys.path" SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE musicshare.settings PythonInterpreter musicshare Obviously "mydomain" has been replaced as not to publish my domain name. As you can see in the exception, sys.path includes the location of my app. It still doesn't appear to find settings.py. Any ideas?

Ah, I see. Then you're doomed. The interface to the web server might not be passing through enough information for this to be determined. So any way to do this is going to be very dependent on how you are interacting with the web server. Try poking around inside request._req if you're using mod_python or request.environ if you're using the WSGI handler and maybe you'll get lucky, but I doubt it (particularly with WSGI, you're not going to be able to tell the difference between an empty query string and an omitted query string).

I don't think this is the answer to this problem...
Is there a way to tell if there is a single question mark at the end
of a url given to django?
Is there a way to have access to exactly the url used for the request?

Anyone else seen this? Python leaks environment variables between sub interpreters in certain circumstances based on the order in which the sub interpreters are created. It is described a bit in section 'Application Environment Variables' of: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ApplicationIssues That Django mod_python adapter takes req.subprocess_env and pushes them into os.environ is not a particularly good thing and can cause various problems as a result as you have found. Setting the variable in all virtual host contexts as you are doing is possibly all you can do when using mod_python if you want to control it from Apache configuration. Only other option is for settings.py to import 'mod_python.apache' and look at 'mod_python.apache.interpreter' and key off the sub interpreter name to work out from table in settings.py as to what to do. The 'interpreter' attribute is possibly only available in mod_python 3.3.1.

You don't. Either the full name to include is in the variable, or you
only use a literal string.

Permissions for generic modules
I figured out this code to get the permissions of a dynamic module: def my_view( request ): ... app_label = module._meta.app_label add_p = app_label+'.'+module._meta.get_add_permission() chg_p = app_label+'.'+module._meta.get_change_permission() del_p = app_label+'.'+module._meta.get_delete_permission() perm_add = request.user.has_perm( add_p ) perm_chg = request.user.has_perm( chg_p ) perm_del = request.user.has_perm( del_p ) But I think this is ugly, and I'm pretty sure there is a better way that I can't see now.

Only one thing, I've been reading the code in te file django/db/models/
loading.py and I don't understand how it works, and now I need to know
or I won't sleep :-)
What should I do to reference stuff?
app = __import__('app_name',{},{},['models'])
mods = getattr(app,'models')
module = getattr(mods,'ModuleIWant')
This actually works, but I'm not sure if it's the right way or the
"python way".

This is almost certainly because you have the APPEND_SLASH setting on,
and Django is redirecting your /13030/tf5p30086k to /13030/tf5p30086k/
(appending a slash), in the process of which the GET settings are
lost.
Try using the URL with the slash already appended - /13030/
tf5p30086k/?

Re: design Q: where to put peoples names
My first question would be: Are you absolutely certain that none of those 1000 other people will ever need a login? Basically, if any of those users would ever need to be promoted to login status, the User model is your best bet. As Samuel mentioned, just set "is_active" to False and probably set the password field to "!" since they wouldn't be expected to supply a password. As for username, you can probably just make a slug out of their real name and use that. Then, if/when they get promoted to full users, you just have to prompt for a username and password, update those fields and set is_active to True and you're all set. -Gul --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Dynamically load objects
I'd love to know if there is a better method, but this is the best I
could come up with... pretty much the same thing you are doing, but
forcing the view functions to call 'import_feed' which can only load a
restricted set of modules.
AVAILABLE_FEEDS =
{'columbia':'columbia.search','glvar':'glvar.search'}
def import_feed(name):
if name in AVAILABLE_FEEDS:
return __import__(AVAILABLE_FEEDS[name])
else:
return None
That only gets me the app, so if I do
feed=import_feed('columbia')
I still have to reference stuff like feed.search.myfunction() instead
of feed.myfunction()
Hmm.. now that I reread your post, I might have confused module with
model. If so you might want to take a look at:
from django.db.models.get_model
m=get_model(appname,modelname)

mark_safe() is a solution e.g.

data_przyjecia = models.DateField('data przyjęcia')

def format_data_przyjecia(self):

This is a nice sort of idea. Is there a way to expand it from an
individual item-wrapper to a QuerySet wrapper? The idea usage
would be something that redacts all objects including
ForeignKey/ManyToMany relationships as well. Thus, if you have
something like the hypothetical
class Person(Model):
name = CharField(...)
ssn = CharField(...)
pin = CharField(...)
class Meta:
redacted = set('ssn', 'pin')
class Account(Model):
owner = ForeignKey(Person)
acct_no = CharField(...)
balance = DecimalField(...)
class Meta:
redacted = set('acct_no', 'balance')
and then have the view do something like
return render_to_response("foo.html",
RequestContext(request, {
'people':redact_queryset(request,
Person.objects.filter(name="Smith"))
})
where the foo.html template has something like
{% for person in people %}
Account Information for
{{ person.name }}
({{ person.ssn }})
The PIN {{ person.name }} is "{{ person.pin }}"
{% if person.account_set %}
You have the following accounts
{% for account in person.account_set %}
{{ account.acct_no }}:
{{ account.balance }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
ideally the redaction process would correctly redact the account
information as well.
The more I think about it, the more it seems that the place to
put the redaction is as you describe. Something has to be done
in each view to intercept the results and then pass them off to
the redactor with the request. I don't know if there's really a
way to bypass the minimal duplication in each view.
I guess a recursively redacting QS wrapper would look something like
REDACTED = '[REDACTED]'
def should_redact(request):
return True or False # based on request
class RedactedItem(object):
def __init__(self, request, item):
self.item = item
self.should_redact = should_redact(request)
def __getattr__(self, name):
# untested pseudocode
if name in self.item._meta.meta.redacted and \
self.should_redact:
return REDACTED
else:
result = getattr(self.item, name)
if is_queryset(result): # mystery function?
return redact_queryset(request, result)
else:
return result
def redact_queryset(request, qs):
for item in qs: yield RedactedItem(request, item)
Does that look kosher? I think that should do the trick. I'll
play with it a bit more when I get a chance. Thanks,
-tim

GeoDjango: Can't find libraries and geos errors
Is there a way to specify the location of gdal et. al.? On OS X, using MacPorts, ctypes doesn't look in /opt/local/lib unless you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

mod_python delivering form data to wrong Django instance?
Hi all, Yes, I realize that maybe this should go to the mod_python list instead, but I wanted to rule Django out first. Here's my configuration, with Apache2 on Linux (sorry I couldn't make this shorter): I've got four Django sites I host under different domain names, which are actually all identical except for the HTML. (It's a simple form submission page.) So I'm using a single Django application to serve them all. Since they're SSL, I need a different VirtualHost entry for each. In addition, I have a fifth instance running under another VirtualHost entry as a test site. Again, it is aimed at the same .settings file, just like the others. To set the test site apart from the others, I use Apache's SetEnv directive to set 'DJANGO_TEST_MODE' to 1, and then in settings.py, I check for the existence of 'DJANGO_TEST_MODE' in os.environ. In that case, settings.py sets the database name to "databasename_test". (This database is identical to the production database.) The problem is that when people submit that form from the deployment sites, that data intermittently (maybe 5-10% of the time) ends up in the test database. I've verified in the logs that their URLs are correct deployment URLs, so it's not that. To fix the problem, I had to set 'DJANGO_TEST_MODE' to 0 in the deployment VirtualHost entries, and modify settings.py to check its value explicitly. Is this something that happens when using the same settings file, or something? Anyone else seen this?

Dynamically load objects
Hello,
In a view, I have:
from app.models import something
def my_view( request, mod_name ):
m = __import__('app.models',globals(),locals(),['something'] )
Now I'd like to do:
items = m.filter( ... )
for item in items:
...
What I need is to load a model dynamically and then use it.
Well, I think this is very insecure, and I'd like you to give me a
different approach.
Anyway, If I'd like to do it this way, how could I do it, just for
learning purposes.

Re: Redacted Fields

My thought here would be to use some kind of modifier function that
you can wrap around a model's Fields.
fromo django.db import models
from redaction import redact
class Person(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
ssn = redact(models.CharField(max_length=11))
redact() could basically just add an attribute to the Field object
object or store in some kind of cache or something, to know what's
been marked.

I don't have code to back this up, but my initial thought would be to
look at subclassing RequestContext. It's the one place that gets all
the data going to the template, as well as the request object itself.
If the request isn't secure, it might be able to intercept template
references to redacted fields and return the redaction message
instead. As I said, I don't have code for that, so I don't know if
that's even possible, but it seems to me like it'd be the best place
to start.
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from myapp.models import Person
from redaction import RedactedContext
def view_person(request, id):
person = Person.objects.get(id=id)
return render_to_response('myapp/view_person.html', {
'person': person,
}, context_instance=RedactedContext(request))

Unfortunately, I'm sure it's the subtleties that'll hit you the hardest.

Custom commands on win32 vs. BSD
I have the following structure: myproj/core/ myproj/core/__init__.py myproj/core/management/ myproj/core/management/__init__.py myproj/core/management/commands/ myproj/core/management/commands/__init__.py myproj/core/management/commands/populate.py On Win32, when I am in the project's directory and run: python manage.py populate it works as expected. The exact same project on FreeBSD 6.2 with Python 2.5.1 doesn't register the 'populate' command. A bit of digging revealed that the project's parent directory is getting removed from sys.path, so the import of myproj.core.management fails (INSTALLED_APPS has "myproj.core" in it). I had to add ".." to sys.path at the top of manage.py to get it to work correctly.

Testing forms
Hi, my has a lot of input widgets which are build from several newform.form instances. If I want to test the form with client.post(), I need to pass all values of the input fields in a dictionary, even if I just want to modify one value. It would be nice if I could get all initial values in a dictionary, in such a way that I don't need to alter the test if a field is added to the form. I think about two solutions: 1. Alter the view method, so that it can return all forms. Then read all initial values from the forms and fill in the post dict. 2. Call the view with client.get(url) first, parse the HTML and build the post dict from the input tags. Has some a better solution or hint?

The user table has first/last name. great. I need to manage about 1500 people, and only 500 will have any need for a site login. So where should I store the 1000 names that don't need to be a user record? I can think of: Everyone gets a User record. (given this is the easiest, what problems could it cause?) 2nd table for the extras. all code that needs to work with the super set will have to work with both tables. (yuck) 2nd table for all people. don't use the name fields in the User table. figure out how to use it to edit a User's Real Name (not the username) in the Admin UI.

Re: design Q: where to put peoples names
Have the "is_active" field of the User model set to False for the users that don't need a login. The auth login will raise an error if an inactive user tries to log in.

I had the most frustration with a software in recent memory trying to use lighttpd. Config syntax was utterly weird and the docs conflicted with actual behavior. I dumped it for nginx. Nginx has been a near dream. The syntax makes sense(YMMV), and it has done what I wanted without hassle.

Redacted Fields
I've been playing around with some ideas and was hoping to get feedback about what the "right" sort of way to do it would be (the Django analog to "Pythonic"). Various models have sensitive fields associated with them that should only be available to a template if the requester is on a "secure" connection (whether HTTPS or on a private subnet, as tweaked into the request object by a middleware). I'm trying to figure out how best to both tag these fields as redacted, and how to intercept them in the template rendering. Thus, if you're on a secure connection (as defined above), person.mothers_maiden_name returns the value "Smith" whereas on a non-secure connection, it would return something like "[REDACTED]" or just the empty string. For tagging fields, since for my purposes most of them are just CharFields, making a custom RedactedCharField might be feasible, but I'm stymied by getting the "request" object in order to behave properly. I've also thought it also might be nice to have this in the Meta instead, something like this frightening example :) class Meta: redacted = set( 'account_number', 'social_security', 'credit_card_number', 'license_number', 'mothers_maiden_name') For the sake of DRY, I'm not sure where to put the redacting code. It doesn't go well in a view or template (have to duplicate the redacting code in every view or make sure every template filters every possibly-redacted-field through a "redact" filter that magically gets the request context), and it doesn't go so well in a model because it requires the "request" object to determine whether it should be redacted or not. The best place I've been able to come up with is hacking the template rendering code, but this still seems a bit ugly. In a pinch, I can always just use a "redacted" filter in my templates, but that requires a vigilance best left to declarative code rather than this forgetful programmer. The recent work on auto-escaping HTML that just hit trunk sounds like it might have had some helpful hints in it, but I haven't gotten to look at that quite yet. Tales from the implementor(s) could be full of helpful caveats from lessons learned. I'd appreciate any thoughts on - how to mark a field as redacted - where to implement the redaction (and how to get the request object to it) - any obvious bits I've missed Thanks, -tim --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

You can use to start with the use case estimation, the estimation is quite good for meddium projects if you manage to get good use cases, but in any case is a good start point http://www.codeproject.com/gen/design/usecasepoints.asp or my own article but in catalan in http://trespams.com/2007/04/03/estimacio-de-projectes-mitjancant-casos-dus/ For small projects the estimation gives big numbers, but as a rule of thum you could reduce the amount in a 40%. This kind of estimation is more undertandable than function points and in my oppinion gives better estimation results for web projects.

Re: Messaging component
I have released my code for a private message system. It's quite powerful, the functions are all displayed in the templates. For example, if you don't want to have message history in the read view, just remove it in the templates. Django is really smart and won't trigger the SQL queries if it doesn't need the data. It is not polished for the end user yet but you can easily adapt it for your project. The trunk comes with a project configured with sqlite and the messaging system so you can easily try it out.

You need to create your own 500.html template.

Re: Strip Illegal Characters - Django Admin
You could try encoding the data in your view - something like:
try:
cleandata = rawinput.encode("iso-8859-1", "ignore") or 'Unknown data
type'
except:
# Whatever you want here
pass
Just an option. Also depends on what you need to capture and return to
users. I too deal with odd encodings.
