Re: satchmo and django-admin-tools

[Avraham Serour]

I thought they extended the templates instead of trying to replace
everything

do you know which templates would I have to redefine? everything I find in
both?

Re: Excluding items from a queryset

isn't it possible to define this in the query? to return only non empty

Re: satchmo and django-admin-tools

[Avraham Serour]

thanks for sharing, I'll try to understand it.

where should I put this file? inside localsite?

what admin template are you talking about? the admin tools or the plain
admin?

I thought of using the admin tools templates and building from that, but
all I got was noReverseMatch erros, looks like the INSTALLED_APPS order is
significative and I don't understand it well.

how can I configure it to ignore the satchmo admin templates?

btw, could I make all this work with grappelli? it seems I could enjoy some
of the image uploading and wysiwyg editor

thanks
avraham

Re: Django performance (cpython vs pypy)

impressive gain when using pypy, still django seems to have the slowest

it would be interesting to see memory usage also, not only speed

Re: Bulk db insert with a file through admin form

[Avraham Serour]

I also have a case where I would need to bulk add items from a file, the
client receives an excel file with products (up to a couple of hundreds).
I still haven't implemented nothing yet as the feature doesn't
have priority, in any case I thought adding a file upload option on the
admin, or maybe a bulk add option in manage would make more sense.

in any case I don't think it would be the case of changing your model as
you don't need to store this info (the file name).

in any case I believe you would need to add something custom, maybe someone
has some kind of template code for bulk adding from file, I believe this
could be fairly common.

any thoughts? please update on the path you took.

best luck
avraham

Re: Append [RESOLVED] to your post subject if you got to a working solution

[Avraham Serour]

I oppose adding [RESOLVED] to the subject, this means changing the subject
to a complete different string and detaching it from the thread. not sure
how this would work for google groups, but many people (me included) read
on gmail, it happened to me not long ago (can't remember which mailing list
it was), someone added a {RESOLVED] at the end of the subject, meaning I
got an email detached from the discussion.

if someone would post a message after they got a solution they could just
add RESOLVED to the first line of the body and then post their conclusions
on how they got there. problem is that often people go silence when they
achieved the solution.

also take in consideration that some posts are discussions like this one,
not answers to a specific problem.

Re: Append [RESOLVED] to your post subject if you got to a working solution

[Avraham Serour]

like I said, one could post "RESOLVED" on the first line on a conclusion
post, this way it would pop up on search results.
it is not an ideal solution like having it in the subject like forums use
these days but it is the workaround that comes to my mind. my hope is that
other people can give their input on this, I'm sure someone out there can
come up with a better way

Re: Django 1.4 Development Workflow Using Static Files

[Avraham Serour]

Maybe you can just upload the files directly to the collect static folder
on the server

In any case maybe you want them under version control, so I guess you could
just automate all these steps with fabric

Re: Django installation on Hostgator

[Avraham Serour]

Hi, I'm also using hostgator to host a django project.
first of all note that they have different plans with different features,
what I'm going to write applies to their shared hosting plans.

Looks like they are using some version of centos, which comes with python
2.6 I believe.
Installing a python from source on your home folder is a good idea, but
unfortunately hostgator blocks access to gcc.
on the other hand they already have python 2.7.3 installed, juts use python2.7
as the executable, try running "python2.7 -V"
btw, they also have python2.6 for 2.6.6 and python3 for 3.2.3

after that you should use virtualenv to create a project specific env so
you can install things using pip. download the virtualenv.py file to you
project folder and run it from there. for the index.fcgi file you should
put this in the first line:
#!/home/username/projectname/env/bin/python

other than that I think it should be standard, maybe I should do a blog
posting documenting this better. let us now if this works

Re: E-commerce framework for downloadable content

[Avraham Serour]

don't forget satchmo.

In any case I believe all the shops have support for downloadable products,
it it a fairly common case

Usually the shops don't store cc info, they connect to some payment
processor like paypal, or are flexible so you can implement your own
like collect on delivery

Re: Impossible? Django with NTLM SSO auth on windows?

[Avraham Serour]

Hi,

Does anyone think using ntlm instead of/on top of oauth/social logins.
Ideally this could be given as another choice of login/authentication on
top of oauth options, this would be a solution to the user not having to
remember yet another password. does linux have anything like that?

Re: Create Django web apps with drag and drop interface builder

This looks nice but the documentation is lacking yet I hope your projects
success (also the desktop GUI builder)

If I may make a suggestion, keep in mind that today people use bootstrap
(and foundation ), the framework could support
that. and also it could make it easy to use jquery

Re: PostgreSQL on windows 7 (psycopg2 install problem)

[Avraham Serour]

I usually try to compile the packages on my win7 machine, just so I can use
pip install inside my virtualenv.
psycopg2 was the only one so far that I couldn't, eventually I installed
the pre compiled binaries on my root python installation and then copied
the files/folder necessary for psycopg2 from site-packages (from my root
python to the virtual env)

Re: Using postgres Users as django users

[Avraham Serour]

So you are saying that each user models will be using the same database but
with different connection settings?

I believe you can create each and every connection setting on your
databases inside settings.py, each one would use the same database but a
different user.
When creating an object specify it to use the corresponding database

Re: How to link different kinds of objects?

[Avraham Serour]

If I could understand you right, a m2m field is exactly what you are
describing. an object may belong to one or more feeds.
Feed an object have an relation, The question if an object have to belong
to a feed or not necessarily? does an object always have a related feed?
does a feed always have a related object?

Re: How to link different kinds of objects?

[Avraham Serour]

So it looks like the m2m should be in the object Model. one more thing,
maybe it would be worth it to inline the object admin in the feed admin
take a look at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.InlineModelAdmin

Installing django-allauth

[Avraham Serour]

Hi,

I'm trying to install django-allauth in a new project (if anyone can
recommend something else for any reason I'm open to suggestions)

when running syncdb it says that I need to use south migrate for the
allauth apps

when running it throws an exception: django.db.utils.DatabaseError: table
"socialaccount_socialapp" already exists

Apparently allauth has it's internal migrations in the vcs, but it doesn't
support migrations

it looks like the app socialaccount has migration 1 - initial and then
migration 7 - initial
so of course when trying to run 7 it tries to create the table again, and
fails.

an easy solution would be to delete allauth migration folder, but this
would mean to clone it and maintain yet another fork, and having headaches
when updating it.

does anyone reccomend a workaround/solution to this?

Re: Installing django-allauth

[Avraham Serour]

I upgraded from 0.8.3 I believe to 0.10.1

actually the problem was that my own installation on my dev virtualenv got
polluted not sure how.
In any case I migrated until the problematic migrations, migrate the
problematic migration with --fake and then simply ran the rest of the
migrations

so far so good

thanks anyway

Re: How to add Foreign Key with SOUTH/DJANGO on existing Database

you should have run manage.py schemamigration myapp --initial before

then adding the FK and after that manage.py schemamigration myapp --auto

timezone.activate GMT+offset inverts

[Avraham Serour]

Hi,

I have created a middleware that calls timezone.activate like this:

from pytz import timezone as tz
timezone.activate(tz('Etc/GMT+3'))

I when printing the time 20:20 UTC+0 it shows as 17:20

I even tried to use

{% timezone "Etc/GMT+3" %}
{{ value }}
{% endtimezone %}

but it still shows 17:20 when it should show 23:20
of course if I use
{% timezone "Etc/GMT-3" %}
{{ value }}
{% endtimezone %}

it shows the correct time. is there a bug when using GMT+offset timezone
instead of the regular Zone/Country

if anyone is wondering why I am doing this let me try to explain myself.
When a user logs in using facebook I can get the timezone from the
extra_data, facebook calculates DST and returns a number

thanks
avraham

Re: Scripts to update Django tables

add your script to celery and make the necessary imports so the script can

take a look at

Re: linux or windows

[Avraham Serour]

for development purposes it shouldn't make a difference, on your server I
believe ubuntu would be a better choice than windows
on the other hand if your server is ubuntu some might choose to use it for
development also, to be as close as possible to the production environment

Re: Sharing session among multiple domains (generic web development question)

interesting problem!
I googled for "Sharing session among multiple domains"

take a look here for example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6080017/how-to-share-session-among-multiple-domains-on-single-asp-net-website

it looks like you can do it across subdomains, so one solution is to split
your websites on subdomains
one interesting suggestion is the iframe one, if you implement that please
share how

Re: Probem with upgrade to python 2.7

If you upgraded your python installation in place you should reinstall your

Re: Probem with upgrade to python 2.7

[Avraham Serour]

not strange at all, dot versions are not compatible, only minor. meaning
libraries targeted for python 2.6.x won't necessarily work on 2.7.5 but if
your previous installation was 2.7.3 you could just upgrade to python 2.7.5
with no problems

django-cms like model translation

[Avraham Serour]

Hi,

I'm making a site using django-cms with an app hook for django shop
this is a multilanguage site, so in settings.py I have

LANGUAGES = [
('pt-br', 'Portuguese'),
('en', 'English'),

]

so when adding a page, I have two tabs, one version of the page for each
language
I need to have translations for my product model also, I only found
this,
but this approach have two problems:
I am repeating myself on which languages I want, for each I add/remove I
need to migrate, this should work like the cms pagemodel
and a minor problem of inconvenience of the user of the admin page, it
would be nice to have the same interface (tab for each language)

I took a look at pagemodel.py but I failed to actually understand in order
to repeat, maybe I didn't have enough coffee

any thoughts?

thanks
avraham

Re: django user (using django ORM) + SQLAlchemy for other db tables

[Avraham Serour]

from what I understand SQLAlchemy is an ORM, which django already have, I
would assume you need something specific in the "power" that django's ORM
doesn't have.

so again I question why? what exactly do you need in SQLAlchemy? also
what's so special about django auth? you could easily create your own
custom auth relying on SQLAlchemy.

also in a crazy case that one would like to use SQLAlchemy inside django
just because he is more familiar with for example it is not necessarily
mutually exclusive, you could create the models with django and map
in SQLAlchemy to query, or vice versa.

if it is only the ORM you want take a look at http://www.sqlalchemy.org/

Re: Help with Django installation on windows

[Avraham Serour]

you should use pip to install python
packages, after you have pip you can use "pip install django"

eventually it is worth to take a look at virtualenv so you can have
separate environments and packages for each project

in any case you should use "python django-admin.py startproject mysite"
assuming python is on path and also django-admin.py
if not you may use the full path for both:

c:\python27\python.exe c:\python27\scripts\django-admin.py

Re: "no such column" database error in admin

[Avraham Serour]

it looks like you changed the model after running syncdb, syncdb is able to
create tables but not to add or remove columns.

for that you should take a look at south, it is called database migrations.

you may also delete the database and recreate

Re: Loading data from Django into RedShift - ORM vs SQL?

The whole idea of having an ORM is not having ot deal with SQL directly
unless necessary. I would try to do it using the ORM first but there's not
general rule, each case should be analised individually

Re: Advice for new Dev - package or roll own

[Avraham Serour]

I think it does make sense to plug a shop app in the project rather than
making something from zero, if the project has that much need for
customization than it would make sense to use a more lightweight  app.

Same question could be asked if it make sense to develop my solution using
a framework like django or to make my own?

Either way even a more complete solution like satchmo shouldn't be a burden
to integrate in your project, just don't try to copy the code and change
it, (you could miss future updates or buy the headache to merge your fork
all the time) rather you can easily plug in.

for example:
If you need some custom fields in the product model, instead of changing
the shop model you can create your own in your models.py with the extra
fields you need and add a foreign key to the shop product model.

success

Re: difference in datetime aggregation when using sqlite3 instead of mysql

[Avraham Serour]

Using sqlite for dev is common practive, don't worry, it is not naive to do
it.
I remember seeing somehing about contenttypes and sqlite, I'm too hungry to
remember now, maybe someone else in the list can give a better input than
me.

on the query result just do a if DEBUG or if DEVELOPMENT or if
backend==sqlite or if returned type == string then create a datetime object
from the string.

Re: Invitations Apps

[Avraham Serour]

You could create a invitation model, I don't see the problem
but maybe you don't even need to, if all you want is for a user to ask the
server to send some emails you can just do that: let the user ask the
server to send emails.

 Has someone used some invitation app for django like django-invitation

 In a project I need visitors to register on the site with their social
 accounts. Once registered the system will create a group which will own
 . Then the owner of the group may invite people to integrate this group
 . Those who respond to the invitation may log in with their social
 accounts too. Guests can not create groups, because they are guests.

 Someon has some tips for me?

Re: Fabric for dependency management, testing strategy

[Avraham Serour]

for dependency management you should use pip, first step is to go through
the docs for fabric (and pip)
also you should google for best practices

Re: Stroring images in the database

[Avraham Serour]

I believe 1.6 has a binary field, no need for an external solution, but
again, do you really need to store the image in the DB? for most cases
ImageField is enough, it stores the path so apache/nginx can serve the
image directly

Re: Startproject failing on Django 1.6

[Avraham Serour]

why are you using this font/size? it hurts my eyes trying to read and makes
understanding difficult

in any case, you didn't need to wait for 1.6 to be released, if your
objective is to learn and you are not deploying production systems yet you
could use the RC, or if before that you could use the beta or before that
the dev trunk or even use python 2.7 in the meantime, nothing wrong with
that.

how did you install django? I recommend using pip to install python packages

success

Re: block php requests

[Avraham Serour]

you can tell apache to get any request ending with .php and return 404 from
apache without passing the request to django
you could return something else like 403 and ban the ip for some time

Re: Is Django suitable for this purpose?

[Avraham Serour]

I'm not sure what kind of answers you expect by asking if django is the
best tool on a django forum...

In any case, of course it is possible to do this in django, it all depends
on you, django is just a framework but you still need to connect the dots

the time lag would only depend on how you code your system and your
resources, django should not be on your way

good luck

Re: Django web hosts in Canada

[Avraham Serour]

look for a vps and not a shared hosting, something like what you would get
with AWS

on the downside you will need to do everything yourself (installing and
configuring all the libraries, updating the server etc)

on the plus side it will be more flexible, it will support anything you
would like

Re: Reduce start up time for manage.py

I believe putting imports inside functions would slow down execution, it
will make the import everytime the function is executed

one could make something like a lazy import, but you would be trading slow

Re: use apache instead of server by default

[Avraham Serour]

you should try using nginx instead of apache, the configuration files are
much simpler to understand

Re: Tests and read-only database

[Avraham Serour]

you can tell django to use sqlite for tests, it will create an in memory
sqlite

if you need the data on the DB for the tests you can import when
initializing the tests, dump a part of the data and call it test data

Re: Registering a stand-alone test app

[Avraham Serour]

This could be an issue with your pythonpath , it looks like the ./app
folder is being added twice to the path, so the import complains it found a
module with this name in multiple locations
