How to add CSRF to context when using test client???

[Matteius]

Greetings,

I am writing unit tests for my application, and I want to leave CSRF
checks enabled in testing.  This means on my POST I am getting 403
because I have not figured out how to add csrf to my context when
using the test client.  Please advise on how to most easily do this:

# Issue a POST request.
response = self.client.post('/student/open_enrollments/',
{'course': 3})
# Check that the response is 200 OK.
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
# Verify template is the expected one.
self.assertTemplateUsed(response, 'student_portal/
open_enrollments.html')
# Check that the rendered context contains now 0 Courses.
self.assertEqual(len(response.context['courses']), 0)

Help with custom model method for query

[Chris McComas]

I have this views.py and models.py:

http://dpaste.com/552615/

On the view what I want to do is display a list of all the feed types
(News, Sports, etc general categories), then then below each of those
feed type headings display the FeedItems for each feed for that city.

Prior to adding the City model it was pretty easy, I was able to just
do this in my template:

http://dpaste.com/552616/

Maybe it's because it's late and I'm out of coffee, but this is
totally stumping me on how to do this best. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

I was wondering if you can have multiple instances of an app and if you can
manage your app at a level where you can restricted (IP address) access to
the site with Google App Engine?

RE: Django and Rich Client

[Sells, Fred]

FWIW  I use flex for the rich client and get xml out of django which
flex handles nicely.

I use Ldap for Authorization (had to use legacy junk for authentication
to be compliant) and I have a cron job that loads the ldap groups I need
and there members into my db.  Solves speed and reliability problems
we've had with our ldap server.

IMHO SOAP sucks unless you're using Java where you've got plenty of
tools.  

The Django templating system is sweet and if you combine it with jquery
you can use that .load() function to "assemble" a page of components.

What are you doing with the list once you generate it? Are you just running
that single line of code, for instance, in a Python shell, or is this error
generated in a view?

"META", in all caps like that, is only used in Django as an attribute of an
HttpRequest object. The string "META" doesn't even occur in the db package,
so I can't imagine how simply wrapping a QuerySet in a list() call could
trigger an exception like that.

Can you post the rest of the code around this, or at least more of a
traceback, unless that is really all that there is? And if it is, then I'd
really like to take a look at your model definition.

Re: Email app is breaking long lines, any fix?

[John Crawford]

Just for the record, to close this off - the problem was solved when I
finally configured Django to send email via my *ISP*. Apparently
Django was doing some unnecessary formatting, whether the output went
to file, console, or even *smtp*, going to a local smtp server: python
-m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

Sigh... Live and learn.

Passing cookies around?

[Roy Smith]

We're using django as a front end to a pre-existing web site
implemented in PHP.  The PHP code has a vaguely RESTful interface,
where you can make HTTP calls on it and get back JSON-ized data.  The
django layer sits in front of that and talks directly to the browser.
We're not using any models in django; just using the views to render
django templates using the data from the PHP back end.

Authentication on the original site was via session cookies maintained
in the browser.  We're trying to figure out how to make the django
layer deal with authentication.  My thought is that it shouldn't.  It
should be entirely stateless, and just transparently pass cookie
headers back and forth between the browser and the PHP back end.
Probably by using some middleware to do this.

Has anybody done anything like this before?  Am I heading off into
weeds?

Because both have sensible default values ("" for CharField, False for
BooleanField), and because a Boolean field cannot be null (you need a
NullBooleanField for that).

Re: Boolean field, unexpected behavior

[elliot]

Thanks,

Your email wasn't showing up when I sent the second one.  Little bit
of lag i guess.  What a noob mistake, thanks for the clarification.

I did originally have a default in my model instance, but i deleted it
as part of the debugging.

However, I'm still not clear why i can save without specifying values
for the CharField or BooleanField.  I didn't say null="true", and I
didn't provide default values.

Thanks again,
Elliot

Re: NoReverseMatch Error

Hi,

Look at this:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#reverse

`viewname` is incorrect in your app you must use 'poll_results'
instead of 'polls.views.results'

See my previous e-mail. If you specify the string 'True' or 'False' 
it'll always evaluate to True.


Also, set a default value in your model.

auth.LoginTest seems to require sites

[Brian]

Hi,

When I run the unit tests, I get a failure (stack trace below) 
from django.contrib.auth.tests.views.LoginTest. 
test_current_site_in_context_after_login calls Site.objects.get_current() 
which fails because I'm not using that app. If I include it in the list of 
installed apps, then the test passes. However, then a bunch of the tests 
that I've written fail; I think that's because they are using fixtures that 
are not valid with respect to the schema defined the inclusion of sites, but 
I haven't confirmed this.

The standard apps that I'm using are:
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.admin',

Is the test broken or is there something that I'm doing that makes the sites 
app mandatory?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Brian

Re: Boolean field, unexpected behavior

[elliot]

to my great annoyance, not specifying active has lead to the objects
being created as I wanted.  But I cannot rely on this.  Seems like
m.active is true if either true or false is specified, and is false if
it is never initialized.

Re: Boolean field, unexpected behavior

[Shawn Milochik]

You have two problems:

1. You're assigning a string to a boolean. The string will evaluate to true.

2. You're not re-querying the database after the first save, so your 'm' 
instance still retains the string 'False.'


Here's some sample output with commentary which will illustrate.

#get an object from the database
>>> x = SomeModel.objects.get(pk = 1)

#it's currently False
>>> x.some_bool
False

#assign some junk that's not True or False
>>> x.some_bool = 'apple'

#yep, still there...
x.some_bool
>>> 'apple'

#this just saved True in the database
#because 'apple' evaluates to True.
>>> x.save()

#but my in-memory instance still contains 'apple'
>>> x.some_bool
'apple'

#until I go get it from the database again.
>>> x = SomeModel.objects.get(pk = 1)

>>> x.some_bool
True

Re: VERY cheap django hosting?

[elliot]

more specific:

Django is already installed, howto page on setting up a project works
as expected, comes with ssh. all on the baby plan for $4/month (might
be more if you only get short contract).

I believe Django is 1.1.  My only complaint is that default python is
2.4, but I have been using 2.7 (which is kind of a pain because I have
to specify it, creating an alias didn't work, as customer support
verified)

Boolean field, unexpected behavior

[elliot]

I am not new to django, but this misbehavior is blowing my mind.  I
cannot understand what is happening.  please help.

Django 1.1

I have:
class MeetingMember(models.Model):
lastname = models.CharField(max_length = 30)
firstname = models.CharField(max_length = 30)
active = models.BooleanField()

and a script to set initial values:

def fillmembers():

pad_unreals= 1

print "ALL: ",MeetingMember.objects.all()

for x in range(pad_unreals):
m = MeetingMember()
m.firstname, m.lastname = 'unsued','unused'
m.save()
print "1: ",m.pk,m.active
m.active = "False"
print "2: ",m.active
m.save()
print "3: ",m.pk,m.active
print ""

for x in MeetingMember.objects.all():
print x.pk,x.active


And the output i get is:


ALL:  []
1:  1 False
2:  False
3:  1 False

1 True


###

!?

This is starting with a freshly synced DB (sqlite)

First, why can i save without specifying active? (also, the CharFields
seem to be empty stings and i can save without specifying them also)

second, after specifying false, saving and verifying that it is false,
when I retrieve it from the DB, I get true!

I can edit it in the admin to false and it stays false,  I can edit it
on the command line and it stays false.  but the script behaves oddly.

please help, and I will learn something important.

Django admin report

[Leonardo da Costa Santos]

Good morning guys!

I came to share with you the Django Admin Report ... she is a little Django
app that makes it easy to export reports in PDF using the administration
interface of django.

The idea is to just tell the class of directors which is the list of template
fields to be exported (list_report) and add a generic action (report_generic
), which he does the rest alone. With this you use the filters bassta
administration and research and select the lines that go to the report by
clicking on the action (Generating report net) PDF will appear in your
browser to be downloaded!

You can encortrar the sources here:
https://github.com/leonardocsantoss/django-admin-report


Today in list_report attributes can be passed either as methods ... Yet he can
not print an attribute of a foreign key ... This will be the next step
would the
project!

Thanks! And hopefully save a few hours of you!

Sincerely,

Re: VERY cheap django hosting?

[Aaron Madison]

I put all my projects on Google AppEngine ...
works pretty well with
django-nonrel
although sometimes there are some fairly significant concessions you might
have to live with to go this route. AppEngine is free if you stay under the
generous quotas, or a nominal charge if you go over.

Django and Rich Client

[Knack]

Hi guys,

I've got a prototype DB + Rich Client app and need to make a proper
production app out of it. The client is written in PyQt and needs to
fullfill quite some functional and performance requirements (I would
really like to keep it). The client connects directly to the DB.

After some thoughts about security I came to the conclusion that using
django is the way to go. Now I seek some coarse advice / feedback
wether I'm heading in the right directions. I've got some miles to go
and looking forward to learning Django, but want to avoid newbie
pitfalls. So if something of the following sounds like bad ideas to
you, please let me know ;-).

Current plans are:

1) Using an Oracle DB
2) LDAP authentification
3) Role based authorisation. Here I'm a bit unsure about the approach.
I would implement it by myself within the django world (don't know yet
where exactly).
4) Transfering the data using a web service via https. Here are my
biggest uncertainties. What kind of web service to use? Rest, xml-rpc
or soap? How to package the acual data? Embedded in the html or xml?
As binary payload? I would need only basic stuff like log in, log out,
read and write whole database rows, which are basically the business
objects. Most of the logic is done on the rich client. I would
transfer large amounts (10s of business objects) of data at
startup time (very eager loading to the client). But also lazy loading
of course.
5) One important concept is that I change only a small amount of the
data objects. Most of the changes lead to new versions. Therefore I
hope to be able to use caching extensivly. The data objects which are
immutable could be permanently cached in memory. How about
authorisation of these cached objects? Are there ways django takes
care of this?

A long first post ;-). Any comments are appreciated!

Cheers,

Jan

Authentication in API (REST)

[Neznez]

Hi all, I'm newbie in Django, and I started to build my own API. I
know that there is Piston or Django REST framework, but I want to
learn API from scratch. What I want to know is, how to make my HTTP
Response (View) is perform authentication before can be accessed, or
we can make it have to throw username and password to access the HTTP
Response?

My code is very simple, like this one:
def test_api_view(request, whatever):
  #
  # do things
  #
  return HttpResponse(serializers.serialize("json", mydictionary),
mimetype='application/json')

Thank you.

'ValuesListQuerySet' object has no attribute 'META'

[javatina]

I need a list of all IDs for model records. So, I do this
concept_ids = Concept.objects.values_list('concept_id', flat=True)

concept_ids is a ValuesListQuerySet - I got it. According to docs
since ValuesListQuerySet is a subclass of QuerySet I can do
list(concept_ids) - see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#when-querysets-are-evaluated

However, I am getting on this line
'ValuesListQuerySet' object has no attribute 'META' error.

For the sake of experimentation, if I try
concept_ids = list(Concept.objects.all())

I am getting 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'META'. But this is
like in docs (see link above):
entry_list = list(Entry.objects.all())

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Serge

That works but may bust intermediate caches. Some won't cache anything with a 
query string.

hierarchal inheritance

[LurkingFrog]

In our current system, I have noted a pattern of hierarchal inheritance with 
regards to gathering configuration information .  In the simplest case, we 
add generic foreign key to the table containing the configuration and check 
the existence of records in order of a predetermined precedence. For 
example, to find a pay rate for work completed we check for the following 
objects in the rate table:

   1. Contractor - the person being paid
   2. WorkType - the reason the payment is being made
   3. JobSite - the location making the payment
   4. Client - the account it is being payed from
   
These objects are not related except by business logic and the hierarchy 
varies depending on the setting being asked for.  While code which using 
this data is simple, the administration has become incredibly difficult from 
a UI perspective.

I was wondering if there are any apps out there which implement this kind of 
functionality with the associated admin pages/widgets before I go rolling my 
own.  I have looked, but haven't been able to find anything that suits this 
situation.
 
Thanks

Re: VERY cheap django hosting?

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Just as a side note guys, I know there are tons of PHP hosting providers out
there which offer dirt cheap hosting, but Python hosting is *extremely*
different to PHP. A lot of providers simply don't have any concept of how to
properly manage a webapp deployment in production.

I'd really question why you'd want a cheap host in the first place. If it's
for development/learning, then a VPS is a great choice. However, if this is
for a production site, then this might not be the best idea.

My apologies if I've duplicated what's already been said (I haven't seen all
the replies yet).

Hire a new IT guy. This is not a trivial topic.

If you are determined to do it by yourself, you will need to learn a
lot of details. Start with the Django tutorial.

Did you have a payment processor in mind?

I keep the file name the same and append a querystring eg.
/static/js/mycustom.js?v=1001 then just increment the querystring on
versioning.

A daemon is probably the best way because that way you don't have to 
figure out whether another instance of the process is running each time.


If you want a script to be able to import models all you have to do is 
have your Django settings file known by your environment.


Either set this environment variable: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

example (must be on PYTHONPATH, of course):
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myproject.settings

Or (in the script itself):

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'


That stuff is explained in detail here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/settings/

I'm not saying this is the best way to do this, but create a
management command, and then become a daemon. Django makes this easy:

Management commands:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/custom-management-commands/

Becoming a daemon:
from django.utils.daemonize import become_daemon
become_daemon(our_home_dir=workdir, out_log=out_log, err_log=err_log)

Personally, I would use a MQ (celery, rabbitmq, django-celery) with
one worker, and push tasks to the worker.

Here's one idea:

When you retrieve the files from the remote server, put them in your 
local temp directory named with a datestamp.


Then, just ensure you process them in order, and you won't have to worry 
about the out-of-order insertions.

Django daemon

[Sherif Shehab Aldin]

Hi all,

I need your suggestions regarding the following.
I have a Django app, with custom command that runs throw cron and it grabs
files from some servers, those files holds data that needs to be inserted
into Django models. I can't make the Django command to read the files and
insert the data into the models because that could take much time, and the
next cron job could have been started, which results in unsorted insertion


What am thinking of right now, is having a daemon that checks for new files,
and reads the data, adds the records to the model. But how do I access
Django environment from a separate daemon??

I am not sure If that's the right way to do it anyway, so any suggestions is
highly appreciated. :)

As a thought experiment, how did you think that would work? Remember in

they implement a database transaction?

Clone the codebase into a new repository for the new team. Deploy from this
repository to your server, so each team has their own repository deployed
into their own virtualenv.

Then if either side modifies the common code, you can git push/git pull the
changes across between the two root repositories.

You could also consider using git submodules to refer to the "master" copy
of the calltracking module in the second team repository.

I don't understand what you mean by "django tutorial solved"
There is a tutorial which gets you up and running with django, if you are a
beginner. and its here ! https://docs.*django*
project.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

Re: 2 projects based on the same codebase

[delegbede]

Hi Benedict,

This is a mere advice. I hope someone can come up with an elegant solution 
pretty soon.

The two projects though similar are different and as such there is a 
possibility that one might get more complex than the other at a much faster 
rate depending on the client's need. Just go ahead and have a different 
repository for each and let them be independent of each other.

My reason for this is that you have gone live and shouldn't take chances in 
trying to save time or keystrokes.

If there are other solutions, I would also like to see.

All the best.

Regards.

Subject: 2 projects based on the same codebase

Hi,


I developed a calltracking for our team and now, another team is interested to 
have their own calltracking.
The best way to seem to deal with a project that is the same from the start, is 
to makea new virtualenv
and "git clone" the codebase. The new project might slightly differ in the 
futur.

I have a development machine where I maintain the code, then "git push" the 
code to a server.
On the production machine, i "git pull" the code.
This all works but what if the 2nd team wants slight changes, changes that my 
team may not want?
2 virtualenv's based on the same code might not be the best option in this case.

Do I create a new repository for the code of the other project ?
I feels like the best way to go ahead.
However, this would mean that I need to maintain 2 projects that are and 
probably will remain very similar.
How would i transfer code changes from 1 repository to the other? Patches?

Thanks for any insight, or links to documentation that deal with this kind of 
setup and
sorry in advance for going OT.

Regards,
Benedict

NoReverseMatch Error

[bahare hoseini]

hi there,
this is my views.py that doesn't have any problem:

from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, render_to_response
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
.
.
.
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('polls.views.results', args=(
p.id,)))

def results(request, poll_id):
p = get_object_or_404(Poll, pk=poll_id)
return render_to_response('(...)/polls/results.html', {'poll': p})

but when i edit my urls.py like this:

#...
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$',
ListView.as_view(
queryset=Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5],
context_object_name='latest_poll_list',
template_name='(...)polls/index.html')),
(r'^(?P\d+)/$',
DetailView.as_view(
model=Poll,
template_name='(...)polls/detail.html')),
url(r'^(?P\d+)/results/$',
DetailView.as_view(
model=Poll,
template_name='(...)polls/results.html'),
name='poll_results'),
(r'^(?P\d+)/vote/$', 'polls.views.vote'),
--
and open my browser with the link (http://localhost:8000/polls/id=1/vote),
I'd face this error: can anybody help please?

Reverse for 'polls.views.results' with arguments '(id=1,)' and keyword
arguments '{}' not found.

can anybody help?

Re: Excel dumps to Office 10

[Thomas Guettler]

Hi,

That's bad news. I liked this pattern very much: Send the browser a HTML table
with content type application/vnd.ms-excel. This is much better than CSV.

If you find a solution, please post here.

Updating static files: Still in browser cache

[Thomas Guettler]

Hi,

My static files (JS/CSS) are cached in the browser. But if there is a bug
in a file, an update won't help people which have already cached the old file.

You would need a new URL for every change in the JS/CSS files.

How do you handle this?
