Re: How to model postal address in django ???

[Mario Gudelj]

You can use django-countries for county names and codes -
http://code.google.com/p/django-countries/ or
https://bitbucket.org/smileychris/django-countries

There are probably more apps out there.

For geo-coding you can try http://geodjango.org/. It's awesome but it may
be a bit hard to implement. If you find it a bit hard you can always use
Google http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2241/. Note that you only get
2 free lat long lookups a day with google.

Cheers,

If that's your real code, you seem to be sending the string "events" as the 
POST data. Presumably you meant to send the contents of the variable events 
instead.

It seems your best bet is to do something like this:

to_be_updated = list(q.select_for_update())
q.filter(pk__in=to_be_updated).update(...)

The above is written in a way trying to guarantee that the
to_be_updated set is exactly the same as the actual set you are going
to update. However, you need to fetch the objects from the database
which can be costly. If you don't want to do that, you could fetch
just the PK list or add another column to the update discriminating
the set (modified_by=someid). It could be useful if you could directly
get the updated PK list from .update(), but that is not supported by
the ORM.

Setup A Django VM with Vagrant, VirtualBox, and Chef

[michaeljsmalley]

I just wanted to let everyone here know that I've written an article
about getting a Django development environment configured with
Vagrant, Chef, and VirtualBox.  It's been pretty popular among
friends, and I thought it's time to share. I genuinely hope some of
you find it useful.

sorting a list of objects when objects is returning two fields

[Nikhil Verma]

Hi All

I have a model structure like this :-

class Visit(Model):
patient = models.ForeignKey(Patient)
... and so on 
topics  = models.ManyToManyField(Topic,
limit_choices_to={'reporting':False})
research_protocol   =
models.ManyToManyField(ResearchProtocol,blank=True)
history_log = JSONField(blank=True)


...and so on .
class Meta:
ordering = ("-date_created",)

def __unicode__(self):
result = """Visit id:%s pt:%s""" % (self.id, self.patient.id)
return result

  So the objects looks like this  


Now at some table i am making a query that returns me list of objects like
this :-

research_obj = ResearchProtocol.objects.get(id=id)
# You can see research_protocol is ManyToManyField in the above model.
visit_ids = research_obj.visit_set.all()

[ , , , ]

Now i want to sort this list of objects in such a manner that i get this
new sorted list :-

*[ , , ,, ]*

You can see the pt is also getting sorted and Visit Id is also getting
sorted .

I am using this :-

ordered_total_visit_ids = sorted(total_visit_ids, key=lambda x: x.patient,
reverse=False)

Thanks for help in advance.

plugins django-apps in sidebar with eval()

[kase]

i want made a plugin sistem  for one CMS  my idea is:

and  one database whit plugins  method name  "Plugin_sidebar"

#view
def home(request):
ps = Plugin_sidebar.objects.all()
return render_to_response('home.html',{'ps':ps})


and  template whit custom tag  eval()

{%for  item in  ps %}
{%eval  item%}   #custom tag
{%endfor%}


with this sistem the user can add and remove plugins... what do you think?

Preprocess data before showing it on Admin

[Pedro Vasconcelos]

Hello!

Anyone knows how preprocess data before showing it on Admin (change page)?

 __  __  ___
/  \/  \/   \
|  DB  | -> | PREPROCESSOR | -> | ADMIN |
\__/\__/\___/


I want to edit data (in Admin) in a human-friendly-format (my custom
format) and store it in XML. So, when a user comes to edit data on Admin,
it cant be the raw data from DB. It need to be converted (preprocessed)
before and then showed.

HI pedro,
you can do it creating a custom modelform

Hello Marc!

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately I cant realised how to get the current
value, change it and populate the form using a ModelForm. I've tried it
actually.

I appreciate if you send me tips on that direction!

Thanks a lot!

Looking for Django IDE

[Mark Phillips]

What IDE do you use/recommend for developing django web sites? Or, if not
an IDE, what editor/setup is most useful? I am developing on Linux version
3.1.0-1-amd64 (Debian 3.1.8-2). I would rather use something open source. I
use eclipse for developing android/java projects. Since I am using django
in conjunction with an android project, I don't want to use the plugin for
eclipse. Switching between python and java perspectives is a little
annoying, so I thought I would find a separate ide for my django work and
just alt-tab between them.

I have tried gedit, but I cannot get the django plugin to work. I am
looking at ninja, but there does not appear to be a django plugin.

Thanks,

Mark

sure, you can do it on form __init__ method

something like

class YourForm(ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(YourForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['your_field'].initial = your_postprocess_method()

also you should override the save form method in order to "reverse"
the postprocess and save the data in raw format.

Re: Looking for Django IDE

[Alexandros Karypidis]

Oh, regarding your problem of the 'annoying switching of perspectives':

1) Start eclipse
2) Open your java project, switch to the Java perspective
3) From the menu: Window->New Window
4) In the new window, open your django project and switch to the PyDev 
perspective
5) Alt-tab between the two Eclipse windows (one will be in PyDev and the 
other in Java perspective)


You can also create two different Eclipse work-spaces and run two 
instances of eclipse (if you have ample RAM on your system).

There's Jetbrains's PyCharm, which has a lot of built-in dedicated
Django support (e.g. inspections and quick fixes, visual debugging of
templates) and more generally excellent Python support (language &
ecosystem, supports virtualenvs and cython for instance).

And it has the usual excellent support for webby stuff (HTML, CSS, JS)

Re: Looking for Django IDE

[yati sagade]

Aptana Studio 3  is basically Eclipse beefed up with
PyDev and other useful plugins, targeted towards web devel. I use it
regularly, and besides the cool colour schemes, the thing is pretty stable
(I was really tired of scouring the web just to get my Eclipse builds
running properly).
If you can shell out some money,.PyCharm
is an *excellent* IDE, with true
virtualenv support and all. It costs a
little, but it is worth it.

URL encoding, templates and apps: are apps not portlets?

[Alexandros Karypidis]

Hi,

My fondness of Python (while scripting things for work) grew to the 
point where I decided to try web development with it. Having 
(apparently) nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon, I went through 
the Django tutorials.


The tutorial goes to some length to keep the "polls" app self-contained 
and easily embeddable into the mysite project. However, it seems to do 
so only for the back-end logic and not so much for the front-end UI.


In part 3 
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial03/#decoupling-the-urlconfs) 
it rewrites the URLConfs to "mount" the app under some site-specific 
prefix (/polls).


urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),

I quote from the tutorial:

"The idea behind include() 
 
and URLconf decoupling is to make it easy to plug-and-play URLs. Now 
that polls are in their own URLconf, they can be placed under "/polls/", 
or under "/fun_polls/", or under "/content/polls/", or any other path 
root, and the app will still work."


Ironically, it does not seem to be bothered with the HTML side of 
things. Therefore:


1) index.html produces a hard-coded list of polls, which MUST be mounted 
at "/polls", with:

{% for poll in latest_poll_list %}
{{ poll.question }}
{% endfor %}
2) detail.html routes the voting action to "/polls" POST

3) results.html takes you back to voting in "/polls"
Vote again?

As I suspected, changing "mysite.urls" to this:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^fun_polls/', include('polls.urls')),

... broke everything which was carefully crafted on the application-code 
side of things.


I am currently tinkering to define a "app_prefix" variable in the code 
and trying to have the templates read it from the context, so that 
things become more modular...


I thought apps in Django were supposed to be like "Wicket components" or 
"Java portlets" (i.e. carry their UI along). Am I letting my Java 
background take me to the wrong direction here? Obviously, if someone 
were to use the polls code mounted under "/fun_polls" they could create 
their own version of "index/details/results.html" that use "/fun_polls" 
for their prefix (and even display things differently)...

Re: Preprocess data before showing it on Admin

[Pedro Vasconcelos]

Thanks for your time and your tips Marc!

I had tried earlie what you suggested but it didnt solved my problem
because it only assigns initial values to new records and not to existents
ones.

But i finally figured out a small change on code which does it well. I just
replaced "self.fields['your_field'].initial" with "self.initial['text']".

Thanks again! Regards,

Re: URL encoding, templates and apps: are apps not portlets?

[Alexandros Karypidis]

So, having discovered how to extend the context of a generic view, I've 
now managed to make things a bit more self-contained:


1) In polls.urls add a name for the index page (just like for the 
'poll_results' case)

--
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# ...
name='poll_index'),
2) In polls.init create a module-wide utility-function to reverse the 
index url:

--
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
def get_polls_prefix():
return reverse('poll_index').strip('/')

3) Subclass ListView/DetailsView to add a "prefix" value to the template 
context. For example (PollDetailsView is similar):

--
class PollListView(ListView):
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(PollListView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['prefix'] = polls.get_polls_prefix()
return context

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$',
PollListView.as_view(
queryset=Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5],
context_object_name='latest_poll_list',
template_name='polls/index.html'),
name='poll_index'),

4) Now, all my web pages use the prefix from the context; e.g. 
index.html looks like this:

--

{% for poll in latest_poll_list %}
{{ poll.question }}
{% endfor %}

Re: Questions about UnicodeDecodeError

[Bill Freeman]

If you can, switch to UTF-8 in the db.  Web traffic can arrive in a variety of
encodings, and while the headers tell the server how to make unicode out
of it, but by having the db set for ASCII, you limit what you can store (since
not all unicode characters can be converted to ASCII.

I use vim with a plugin called "python mode" which can be found 
here. 
It's a collection of several python plugins that gives you a lot of 
options. You can also check out various vimrc files on github for other 
ideas.

Re: canceling account

[Python_Junkie]

It does not appear that anyone truly answered your question.

The accounts are maintained in a database.

Figure out which table and which columns the account that you want to 
remove are maintained.  You can accomplish this by viewing a development 
server that you may have in house and spinning up a new instance and create 
an admin account.

Then just delete the account from the database to remove the person that 
you want to remove.

Or you could just change the name  so that you have control of the account 
your self.

Good luck

form.Forms + POST + forms.ChoiceField

[Barry Morrison]

Full Disclosure: I've been using Python for 5-6 months. Django for maybe 3

I have this: https://gist.github.com/a934fe08643e0c3ee017

In an effort to teach myself, I'm simply building a Django app. For 
teaching purposes only. It's an aggregator of favorites across multiple 
sites. Right now, I'm simply dealing with saved items from Reddit. 

The problem I'm having is the drop-down selector POST'ing and creating a 
the new URL. 

http://imgur.com/a/FL32I << Screen shots

1) root or /feeds/
2) Select Reddit from drop-down
3) Displays Reddit items only /feeds/Reddit/
4) Select 'Python' from drop-down, displays items from r/Python with URL 
/feeds/Reddit/Python

This works (manually entering URL's), the drop down does not. 

I currently get "Error 1" from the gist. 

On views.py, if I uncomment lines 16 - 19, and comment the lines 21 - 23, I 
get a different error: "Error2" from the gist.  What I don't understand 
regarding the 2nd error, is that it is in fact returning: source: u'Reddit' 
and that exists in the Model, so it makes me think it's expecting something 
other than u'Reddit'.  

I'm at a loss, so this is me asking for help.  Sorry for the long post and 
crazy amounts of information. 

Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED! 

Thanks!

Bulk Creating Django Models from CSV File?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I have several large CSV files that I'm hoping to parse, and use to create 
Django objects. Each line looks might look something like this:

"Server Hostname", "Classification", "Country", "Operating System"

"foo.bar.com", "Prod", "Australia", "Solaris"

"alex.john.com", "Dev", "UK", "Linux"

"bob.hope.com", "UAT, "Japan", "Windows


For performance reasons, it would be nice to use something like 1.4's 
bulk_create:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#django.db.models.query.QuerySet.bulk_create
 

However, I noticed the caveat about it not populating the auto-incrementing 
PK field. What's the recommended way to populate the PK field then? How do 
you use it?

Secondly, the models will have FK relationships to other models (for 
instance, Classification, Country and Operating System would be stored in a 
lookup table). What's the best way to look these up, and assign the 
appropriate FK, whilst still preserving good performance and using bulk 
inserts?

Cheers,
Victor

RE: Looking for Django IDE

[Sells, Fred]

Is there a Django 1.4.1 in the works that would solve this problem?  I
also use Eclipse+PyDev and am planning to upgrade to Django 1.4 shortly.
However my management is not going to allow using a nightly build in a
production system regardless of the justification.  I guess my options
are to stick with 1.3 or create a dummy project manually and copy and
tweak it whenever I need a new project.  Any suggestions.

>From the forum post, it was not clear if this is a Django, PyDev or
Eclipse issue.  Any thoughts?

Fred.

Hi All,
This question is regarding a django app called endless pagination. I want
to add a '|' in between the pagination numbers so that it will look like

I went through the documents but could not figure out how to do this. If
anyone have already implemented something like this please tell me know the
method to implement the same. Thank You
