Re: Problem setting up django server

[Randy Baxley]

Glad and sad that you are going through this.  Sad in that the process
seems too complicated.  Glad in that I have failed miserably in trying to
get virtualenv, vagrant, and other packages to install both in Windows and
in Xubunto.  I have run python27 and 33 without problems but even in the 27
directory the python command is not recognized in the terminal.

Re: Help in finding how to learn Django

[Randy Baxley]

Thank you for your list of things to learn Django.

I had already worked through dr chucks web site and MOOC, U of Toronto 
first and second course at Coursera, Rice's Interactive Python also at 
Coursera and most of Udacity CS 101 so was getting very familiar with 
python.  Working now through the Django book.  I have Xubunto and Windows 
on my desktop and laptop so I went through a lot of updates and then 
chapters one and two on both.  Working through chapter 3 this morning.  One 
really has to wade through a lot of options and be careful of which path 
they are on as well as very simple things like  http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello/ 
and not  http://127.0.0.1:8000.  Again, thank you.

Re: Missing peice before best practises

[Randy Baxley]

I use a desktop at home and a laptop when I go attempting to hack in the 
open community.  The hack experiances always seem so messy to me.  Most 
recently I am trying to help with a project called SUMO but there are tons 
of download requirements outside of the python and django.  I have also 
tried to get any of the groups I have gone to to define a stack for hacking 
and vagrant, virtualenv and of course git and sudo.  Every new project 
seems to use dependencies that mean a lot of time downloading widgets that 
seem to do the same things if one asks but after a while why ask?  If it is 
too sloppy I will just concentrate on less messy projects.  I am tempted to 
play with flask but for now the django book examples are working though I 
will likely have to go through chapter four many multiples of times and am 
hoping soon to get some move towards being able to build the site I have my 
mind set on.

 Virtualenv, pip etc are not features of Django, they are features of
 python. It is right that Django mentions them in places, it is doubly
 right that it does not attempt to duplicate the fine documentation
 that pip and virtualenv possess themselves.

1. not sure why but I had to sudo sglite3

2. I changed permissions on the parent directory and everything below it
which did not resolve the problem.

3. I searched on operational error django and in overflow someone said they:

   'NAME': 'C:\\home\dj\mfp\myfile\myfile\mydb.db', # Or path to
database file if using sqlite3.
#'NAME': 'C://home/dj/mfp/myfile/myfile/mydb.db',

which worked and it did for me as well.  They were in Windows and I am in
Xubunto though I do have them installed on the same disk.

Thanks for the help and I am sure I will be back.

Re: create random string for username

[Randy Baxley]

The Django tutorial is not quite making it for me.  This is a very
complicated language and all the pieces seem to not match up for me.  This
I think is my fault and most of it seems to be in the use of the r hat for
root and exactly how that points to views, models and dbs.  I may get there
but it is not easy without someone to be a sort of guide.  Each time though
I go into settings or one of the other files they get a perception of being
more familiar and thus shorter.  While doing some of those I say a key set
to fals for allow profanity but not sure what all that filter has passed
through it.

Learning how to build a web site for my python games and a blog

[Randy Baxley]

Is anyone working through The Django Book that would like to form a fb page
just for that or knows of a good tutorial where questions will get answers?

Re: Learning how to build a web site for my python games and a blog

[Randy Baxley]

I am trying to learn Django.  I have a good base in Python having worked 
several basic MOOCs and second level classes.  My major short term goal is 
to build a web site where I will have a blog on smoked brisket in Chicago 
and a place to rewrite my games built in the Rice University course 
Interactive Python Programming from Coursera.  Here is the final program 
from that class.  The reason for a rewrite is these are written on 
CodeSkulptor.

http://www.codeskulptor.org/#user16_nkeTb6O5Je_12.py

Here you will find The Django Book written by *Adrian Holovaty who wrote 
Django.*
*
*
http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/frontmatter.html

What I am wondering is if anyone else is working through it as well as I 
keep hitting road blocks and the answers I am getting here are not working 
for me in Xumbunto though that may not be the problem.  I have found that a 
group of folks working at the same time tend to hit on ideas in a fashion 
that is more to the point and on fb that it is easy to get back to the 
thread you want since there are not as many threads pertaining to other 
Django topics.

I was also asking if there is another Django tutorial that might be at more 
of a beginner level?

Re: Learning how to build a web site for my python games and a blog

[Randy Baxley]

These are definitely good suggestions for going deeper in Python and C.  I 
am not real confident that the poll tutorial and vagrant are going to work 
for me though since my current sticking point is getting the NAME fielod to 
point to mydb.  It does something funny with the r hat which may be 
connected to my Xubunto being installed side by side with XP.
