Re: Custom template tag problem: "No module named models"

[nolurking]

I had the same issue, fixed it with a variation on Jim D.'s solution.

import bookmarks

then bookmarks.models.Bookmark.objects.filter(...)

Django in virtualenv + nginx + uwsgi set up guide

[Chris Pagnutti]

Hi.  I'm looking for a recent guide for setting up nginx to serve django 
projects in a virtualenv via uwsgi.  I can find a whole pile of them, but 
they're all so different, and some are dated.  I'm looking for something 
complete and recent that actually works.  Ideally, I'd like it to be for a 
Debian-based system, but I think if the guide is good, I should be able to 
do it for any distro.

Thanks a whole bunch.

Re: tutorial first step. -ImportError: No module named django.core-

[Daniel]

Francesco and Elena, 

I read up on virtualenv and to my understanding, what you said was right - 
that it sets the PATH for you just by using it.  One thing that I'm still 
not sure on, is that for Linux, you have to specify the 'source' command 
which will change the environment in place.  I'm not sure if this happens 
automatically on Windows or what.  As for the setting the PATH variable at 
the beginning, that seems like it may work, I'm just hesitant because that 
is used as a system-wide deal, whereas the virtualenv isn't.  The 
distinction eludes me.

In terms of typing out the path for the admin file, I guess it's not really 
that big of a deal, since I won't be making many projects in the near 
future, I just thought there might be a quick fix available.  Thanks for 
the input!

Dan

As an alternative you can use django_extensions and create a job. Might be to 
much when its just one job. But as soon as your project gets bigger and needs 
several jobs with mixed intervals, its easier.

You can always get a raw cursor to your database server:

from django.db import connection
cursor = connection.cursor()

Once you have a cursor you can do any PEP 249/Python DB 2.0 API stuff
you want, including raw SQL queries.

As Kurt said, wrap this up in a management command to make it all nice
and pretty.

Cheers

Tom

How to call a database function from Django?

[Andre Lopes]

Hi all,

I need to run a script once a day. The script basically will call a
postgresql function. I've google and I found a solution just like
this. The problem is that does not work.

[code]
import os
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'
from myapp.models import *

MyModelClass.objects.raw("select materialize('some', 't_some_table');")
[/code]

I've created a file with the code above, but the RAW does not run the
function "materialize".

There is a better way to call a function using the Django environment?

Django has no built-in field type for BLOB columns.  You might try using 
the custom field type given in one of the answers here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5581466/django-models-blob-field

I haven't used this myself, so I can't vouch for how well it will work.

Reverse of admin:jsi18n

[Dan Gentry]

Using Django 1.3, I'm declaring a javascript file in the Media class of a 
ModelForm.  For the jsi18n javascript catalog, the examples show the path 
hard coded:

js = ('/admin/jsi18n/')

However, I want to make this a little more portable by replacing the path 
with a reverse() call.  I tried this:

js = (reverse('admin:jsi18n'))

which failed when the form was imported.  However, I can use the same 
argument in a URL call in the template:

{% url 'admin:jsi18n' %}

Any advice on how I can use reverse() in the Media class?  I haven't found 
anything helpful in my searches.

Thanks,

Dan Gentry

This is actually a good feature for Django to have.  By enforcing app 
labels, you enforce data integrity at the application level, not just the 
database level.  I used to think this was horrible as well until I built a 
work-around for it and then had all kinds of database integrity issues.

In addition, if an application by the same name is being used in multiple 
places, you should instead manage the different use with URL patterns and 
not try to rig it otherwise.  If it's a completely different application 
than the others, the option I choose is to rename the app's folder and 
update my INSTALLED_APPS accordingly.  If you didn't write the application 
and it's not truly decoupled, you may have to make other changes.

coding advise / associating a class with a table row

[Gene Horodecki]

Hi there,  I seem to find a particular scenario a lot and I'm wondering 
if someone can help me with it.  I'm working on a project where I am 
selecting from a series of actions to take on a server. These actions 
need to be defined in a child class because there is code associated 
with them.  However, because I want to select them in a form it benefits 
me to have a row in a table with a description for each action.  Is 
there any elegant way that people have used to couple a table row with a 
python class?  The only way I can think of is to hard code the 
relationships between rows and classes but it seems a brutal way of 
doing it.  I could put the name of the class in a field in the table but 
that doesn't seem quite right either.


What would be nice is something like the @register decorator so that 
each class registers with the 'name' field in its row and a dictionary 
could be built when the server is started, but I cannot find any 
information on how to create another decorator that works like @register.


Any other ideas?  Thanks.

Re: Access queryset in get_context_data()?

[Arturo Fernandez]

Hi!

You can use access to queryset through kwargs dictionary:

qs = kwargs['object_list']

Don't forget that *object_list *is the variable used by Django's class view.

Re: tutorial first step. -ImportError: No module named django.core-

[Elena Williams]

Francesco and Daniel,

This is an interesting problem with the tutorial! We will have to make sure
that it's changed -- obviously the tutorial needs to be clearer!

Any suggestions you guys have about how/where we could insert some
information that could make this clearer *please* point out where it'd be
helpful or better yet write some words (community for-the-win! :)

Daniel: in response to what you were saying about the location of
`django-admin.py` being a hassle I remember when I was learning be
concerned by this also! But turns out that nowadays actually I rarely use
`django-admin.py` but usually in my set-up keep a copy of it at
`~/code/bin/` with a bunch of other useful bits-and-pieces (though this
approach is a bit out-dated with virtualenv). Besides starting a new whole
project is a pretty big deal (compared to most dev work) and personally I
think needing to find django-admin.py for it makes it seem as special as it
is.

 Hi Elena,

 Thanks for replying.
 I guess the PATH var is well set. In fact, if I hit python into
 cmd.exe and then import django everything work (I can print the django
 version, as well).
 So, Django is installed and reachable apparently. At this point I guess
 there is a problem in looking for the modules..
 I also guess is important to consider that I am using 
 virtualenv that,
 once activated, it adds to the PATH this: 
 C:\Python27\fran_env\Scriptswhere is located django-admin.py. This file is 
 also located here:
 C:\Python27\fra_env\Lib\site-packages\django\bin

Re: tutorial first step. -ImportError: No module named django.core-

[Francescos]

Good good!
So, this means I was executing the wrong django-admin.py file.
Daniel, I'm curious about your question, too. Because I though that 
activating virtualenv the path is automatically set to the specified 
environment and then no need to include the right django-admin.py file into 
some environment variable...
Anyway, maybe a solution for you is to put, possibly at the beginning, your 
django-admin.py path into the PATH variable.
Elena we need you... :D

 Hi Francesco,

 What you're seeing is the most basic django/python error. It means that 
 your python can't find django from your current path.

 You should start by checking for the simple things.

 What happens when you try putting the following in your terminal?:
 $ python

 and then:
 >>> import django

 Also where is your django-admin.py file located? 

 Elena :)
