Re: An alternate cry for help

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Hi Christos,

I cannot comment directly on Pinax as I have never used it before, however
I can give some general comments.

Asking how to make a social network is the same as asking how to make a
game, how to build a car, how to write a book etc.. it *completely* depends
on what your end goal is, and how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go.

If your end goal is to better your development skills in Python, then you
could start out with something like this;
http://learnpythonthehardway.org/

If this is not your end goal, then you will have certain limitation. For
example, I could use (CMS FRAMEWORK HERE) to make a very basic blog with
zero programming skill, but extending the functionality would require
either a pre-existing plugin, or time being spent on learning the framework
and language.. I could possibly throw together a very quick hack, or spend
X amount of time learning every little bit about what I'm doing.

An excellent place to start looking would be on github, there are plenty of
projects you could use for inspiration/examples to get you started.

Hope this helps

Cal

2. If the development should be on the hosting provider's account (ssh

If I'm confusing things, please correct me.

Django management call_command

[Felix Wagner]

Hello, I wrote a test management Command:

def start_daemon():
pidfile_rule = "/tmp/ihe_test.pid"
p = str(os.getpid())
file(pidfile_rule, 'w').write(p)
while True:
print "Hello"
sleep(10)

class Command(BaseCommand):
help = 'Starts or stops the daemons'

option_list = BaseCommand.option_list + (
make_option('--start',
action='store_true',
dest='status',
help='Start the daemons'),
make_option('--stop',
action='store_false',
dest='status',
default=False,
help='Stop the daemons'),
)

def handle(self, *args, **options):
status = options.get('status')
pidfile_rule = "/tmp/ihe_test.pid"
if status:
try:
start_daemon()
except Exception, e:
print e
else:
x = file(pidfile_rule, 'r').read()
os.kill(int(x), signal.SIGKILL)

Now what I want to accomplish:

In a form if a boolean field is True then execute (start) the daemon. If 
the boolean field is toggled False the daemon should be stopped. However 
the problem is:

wagnerf+  5882  0.3  0.1 108892 21388 pts/3S+   17:32   0:00 
/usr/bin/python2.7 manage.py runserver
wagnerf+  5883 51.5  0.4 580376 52292 pts/3Rl+  17:32   0:35 
/usr/bin/python2.7 manage.py runserve

One is the normal runserver and one is the daemon. Obviously I can't use 
the site anymore. How exactly must it be coded so that the managment call 
is a seperate process?

Re: first steps with django

[Shawn Milochik]

You should develop locally, because you are guaranteed to make
mistakes that will crash the app and expose debug information you
don't want exposed  during development.

If your hosting provider provides a one-click installation, it will
probably set up its environment different than the one on your local
machine, making deployment more difficult. If you're using Webfaction,
for example, I suggest you make a "custom" app that just opens a port,
then when you deploy just serve your Django app via gunicorn on that
port.

Re: POSTing JSON to Tastypie from Android

[Bill Freeman]

There are a couple of standard ways, IIRC, to encode post parameters, but
neither of them is JSON in the body.  Of course you can do as you want, and
android apparently does, but other software is unlikely to recognize it.

Again, from memory, the two methods are using url encoding, and multi-part
form data.  The latter is particularly useful for large binary blobs (like
uploading files), but it looks as though the first method would work for
you.  You'll have to dig down into the android API to see how to do it
there, but it probably involves a particular value in the content-type
header.

1. Where should I develop my Django applications? Should I still do it on 
my local machine and then transfer them somehow to a hosting provider I'm 
with? Or should I develop it straight on a hosting provider's server 
(hosting provider provides a one-click django installation). 

2. If the development should be on the hosting provider's account (ssh 
access), then could you clarify the following? Imagine want the home page 
to be static (eg. www.example.com) then I want my django app - blog on 
www.example.com/blog, then I'd start a new django app in public_html/blog 
right?

If I'm confusing things, please correct me.

Thank you
Martin

Re: Django 1.5 CBV - DeleteView - CustomQuery

[Dan Gentry]

Agree with Tom that ccbv is a great resource for help with CBVs.  In fact, 
I used it to help me with this comment.

I would probably override the delete() method in DeleteView to do what you 
want to do.  The original justs deletes the record and redirects to the 
supplied URL:


   1. def delete(self, request, *args, **kwargs): 
   2. """ 
   3. Calls the delete() method on the fetched object and then 
   4. redirects to the success URL. 
   5. """ 
   6. self.object = self.get_object() 
   7. self.object.delete() 
   8. return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())
   
   One could easily replace line 7 with your custom code:
   
   now = datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=utc)
   self,object.date_deleted = now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
   self.object.save()
   
   Which would update the date as needed.
   
   Also, I would include the date check in the get_object() method:
   
   def get_object(self,queryset=None)
   obj = super(MyDeleteView,self).get_object(queryset)
   if obj.date_deleted is not None:
   raise Http404
   return obj
   
   Not tested, but will probably work :)

Re: SQL Server Support - Does it Exist

[Michael Manfre]

Although there is no official support for SQL Server, there are two 
available backends to choose from; django-mssql and django-pyodbc. There 
has also been some recent discussion on the django-developers mailing list 
about SQL Server's support and the idea of having officially recognized 
extensions (see [1]).

[1] https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-developers/O-g06EM6XMM/Y7PcP5VUzYMJ

I'm the maintainer of django-mssql and have been using it on 
http://www.src.org since Django 1.1 and has upgrade to the Django stable 
version shortly after each release. We're currently on Django 1.4.x and 
plan on upgrading to Django 1.5 in the next few months. Django-mssql 
requires pywin32 and must be run on a Windows server. During the ~1.5 years 
between your post and the previous one in this topic, the django-mssql 
project has made a lot of improvements, including better documentation [2].

[2] http://django-mssql.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

If your web servers are non-windows, then you can use django-pyodbc. The 
google code hosted project [3] is a bit out of date, but there is a 
slightly newer fork available on GitHub [4].

Re: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp

[Vernon D. Cole]

You have an error in your "models.py" file.  Note that the last message was 
"Validataing models...".

Is there anything in models.py?  In your sample script you never modify it.
