Re: Where to start - New to Django and Python

[William Vincent]

Well I'm biased but add Django for Beginners 
 to the mix too. Also Django Girls 
is a great first step.

I don't know if it's the best book but I'm enjoying 
http://www.obeythetestinggoat.com. I like 
the 
 

 TDD approach for learning a new technology. Also you can read it for free 
online.

If you don't know python, spend time on basic language and structure before
starting django. The python documentation has a good tutorial. The courses
on udemy are good.
For learning django, the official django tutorial set is sufficient.

I have found The Django Book  to be a very good 
book to get a handle of Djangoa and it's philosophy.

Where to start - New to Django and Python

[Lokendar Singh]

Hi Community,

I'm new to django and python, however I've experience in development. 

Can someone suggest me the best book/content/tutor to enhance my skills as 
a lead developer? 
Currently I'm going through django documentation.


Thanks in advance!

A further tip. Your models might be (doesn't have to be):

 - Drivers
 - Cars
 - reservations (a Many to Many relationship with extra fields
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/db/models/#extra-fields-on-many-to-many-relationships
)

Start with the model layer. Use the admin interface to add some dummy data
and think about how you want the front facing pages/forms to look and
operate. Repeat as needed.

Re: tests failing/throwing errors - not sure where to start

[Kelvin Wong]

My advice to you is to just ignore it all and focus on the tests in your 
application.

For example, if your app that you wrote yourself is called "amazingapp" 
then you test only that app thus.

---

$ python manage.py test amazingapp

---

And it will say something similar to this...

---

Creating test database for alias 'default'...
.
--
Ran 1 test in 0.002s

OK
Destroying test database for alias 'default'...

---

Don't bother testing your framework code or your modules, which Django does 
if you leave out the app name (assuming you're not making patches for 
Django itself).

PS. Good for you for testing your code.

where to start

[Anil]

I am new to Django. 
I am not sure where to start, I am thinking of diving into 1.5 alpha and 
make use of the new custom User models.

I am working on a project that will make exclusive use of a LDAP database, 
nothing else. I expect to have users in multiple suffixes.

e.g.:

uid=user1, ou=people, o=suffix1
uid=user1, ou=people, o=suffix2
uid=user2, ou=people, o=suffix2

These users would of course be tied to their own groups, under their own 
suffix.
I am a little inundated with all the customization that is required to 
Django's user and authentication models.

It seems like I would need to write my own authentication Backend, and then 
have the custom User model tie into this. I was wondering if there are some 
examples like this out there, that I can look at that do something similar?

How would you start a project like this? Some specific direction(s) would 
be helpful.

Thanks a bunch!
Anil

string indices must be integers error in admin - don't know where to start debugging

[Jon Loyens]

Hi everyone,

I've got a problem and I don't even know where to start debugging
it... there seems to be a difference between the way my app is
behaving between my local environment and my deployment environment.
Hopefully you guys can give me some idea where to start.

I've written a small PR application that along with a story, publishes
pictures and other files.  I've written models that look like this
(this is all written on the trunk):

class Story(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
date = models.DateField()
slug = models.SlugField()
published = models.BooleanField()
body = models.TextField()

class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "stories"
ordering = ['-date']
pass

def __str__(self):
return self.title.encode("utf-8")

class Admin:
list_display = ('title','date','slug',)
pass

class Picture(models.Model):
image = models.ImageField(upload_to="photos")
date = models.DateField()
title = models.CharField(max_length=100, core=True)
caption = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
story = models.ForeignKey(Story, edit_inline=models.STACKED)

def __str__(self):
return self.title.encode("utf-8")

class Meta:
ordering = ['-date']
pass


class Downloads(models.Model):
media = models.FileField(upload_to="downloads")
date = models.DateField()
title = models.CharField(max_length=100, core=True)
story = models.ForeignKey(Story, edit_inline=models.STACKED)

def __str__(self):
return self.title.encode("utf-8")

class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "downloads"
ordering = ['-date']
pass

This works great locally on my machine.  However, when I deploy on
WebFaction (again using a django instance built from the trunk),
everything appears to be fine until I edit a Story object in the Admin
UI.  When I try and save any edits (no matter what field I edit), I
get this error:

Re: Running Multiple Sites/Apps with FastCGI... Where to start?

[kwe]

Tom,

We run a number of sites using lighttpd and django off one code base.
Yes, each site needs an entry in lighttpd.conf and each site has it's
own settings file. Obviously you can set settings to allow each
instance to have different templates or different installed apps.

http://bus.glam.ac.uk/ and http://news.glam.ac.uk/ are examples. They
both share roughly the same core code, but use different templates and
some additional apps.

regards
Kevin

Running Multiple Sites/Apps with FastCGI... Where to start?

[Tom Smith]

I'm having trouble on deciding where to start with this problem. I  
only have one port to use on TextDrive.



I have .co.uk site running using Django (under FastCGI). I want to  
duplicate the site and change the content for the .com US version,  
making modifications to the model/code/templates along the way... Do  
I ...


duplicate my app folder and add the new folder to INSTALLED_APPS
and then add another $HTTP["host"] bit to my lighttpd.conf file
add a django-fcgi.py file to the .com web folder

???

Or have I got this all upside down?

Thanks

tom

I suspect you have multiple versions of Django installed, and your
Python was pointed at the wrong one when you ran that import
statement.

[yi huang]

This  may help you to read the unit
tests ;-)
Most editor just treat doctest as string.

Re: Where to start with the upcoming newforms module?

[Ramdas S]

I am trying Django forms. I just updated to the new svn revision 4186.


But when I try



>>> from django import newforms
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in ?
ImportError: cannot import name newforms


What do I need to do?

It's about 90% operational. Everything that's in it works, but there's
at least one feature I still need to add, which is the code that
creates a Form from a model class, or a list of model fields.

Yes, it replaces the whole manipulator concept. Instead of using
Manipulators, you use Forms. The latter are much, much easier and
convenient to use.

I'd encourage you to take a look at those unit tests again, even
though you said you looked at them. Feel free to use newforms in your
own applications. Otherwise, just stay patient until we update the
documentation.

Adrian

Where to start with the upcoming newforms module?

[django-user]

Hi,

I came across the new 'newforms' page in Django documentation pages.
I am rather happy to get details about the replacement plan, but it is
definitely lacking information about 'what' it will really replace, and in what
way.

So here I am with a few questions:
1) is this module fully operational yet?
2) does it replace the whole manipulator (automatic/custom) concept?
3) and most important: if so, how?

I'd like a very quick example of code (form creation, and its manipulation in a
view). Where can I get one? I already had a look at the unit test script linked
in the documentation, but I did not quite get the idea for the replacement of
manipulators.

In short: where do I begin to start using 'newforms' ? I'm all lost :-)

Note: I'm actively working on a Django project at work, which I also want to
turn into a 'showcase' for future web development in my department. This is why
I'm looking forward to using "newforms" asap.
