 Hi,

 I am looking for svm classifier implementation in python. My input is a
 set of feature vectors of the form
 [Feature1,Feature2,[Feature3],Feature4] =>This is for a user

 so the input is basically a multidimensional list in python

 I have a set of users . So we have of multidimensional lists.
 Output should be confusion matrix or a statistical analysis

 Which is the best implementation of svm python module which suits these
 needs ?

Re: tutorial part 1...syncing db

[william ratcliff]

Hi Brandy,

I downloaded your project modified the beginning to the following:

# Django settings for mysite project.

import os,sys
HOMEDIR=os.path.dirname(__file__)
DEBUG = True
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG

ADMINS = (
# ('Your Name', 'your_em...@example.com'),
)

MANAGERS = ADMINS

DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add
'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': os.path.join(HOMEDIR,'testdb'),  # Or
path to database file if using sqlite3.
'USER': '',  # Not used with sqlite3.
'PASSWORD': '',  # Not used with sqlite3.
'HOST': '',  # Set to empty string for
localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
'PORT': '',  # Set to empty string for default.
Not used with sqlite3.
}
}

It works under the django 1.4 that I just pulled onto a "virgin" windows 7
box. My suspicion is that in your engine file, you wanted to use:
r'c:/program files/bitnami djangostack/mysite/sqlite3.db'
instead of:
'c:/program files/bitnami djangostack/mysite/sqlite3.db',

This is assuming that you have read/write permissions to that directory,
etc.I prefer the pattern that I used of putting the sqllite database
relative to __file__ because it is easier to move it between machines.
So, for example, if I develop on a mac (or windows), when I deploy to linux
(not so much for the database) for production, I don't have to manipulate
the path throughout the code...Later, if I need to find something relative
to the project root, I can then do a:

from django.conf import settings
and grab settings.HOME as the base directory

Best,
William
(btw. I placed the directory in c:\mysite for my test

so you have:
-- denotes a mysite directory


c:\mysite
manage.py
    --mysite
  __init__.py
  settings.py
  testdb
  urls.py
  wsgi.py


)

Re: How to print a graph

[william ratcliff]

What are you using for your plotting package?  Matplotlib?   I think that
this will show the plot (on the server machine)--the easiest thing I can
think of for now (assuming that you are using matplotlib) is to generate a
pdf and send them the file.   I haven't tried printing directly--is this
intranet, or external facing?  Do you have any restrictions on using
javascript?

Re: How to print a graph

[william ratcliff]

As a quick hack, you could generate a postscript file using savefig().
Then, you could print that from the commandline to a local printer--If they
don't need a physical printout, I would generate a pdf file and serve it to
them and let them print it.   If I figure out how to print directly using
the printer dialog, I'll let you know...

Re: How to print a graph

[william ratcliff]

If you just need the graphic on the web, then savefig("myfile.png") and
insert the image link in your template...Since you're already using
matplotlib, there's no need for another package.

Re: How to print a graph

[william ratcliff]

If you're planning on adding this to your views.py, then you want to move
the import statements to the top of the file (outside of simple), so they
aren't called every time.  Don't import django.

Can you attach an example png?   If it's not too complex, you might be able

Re: Issue Deploying Django

[william ratcliff]

I will say that I've had pretty good luck hosting with webfaction and
installing packages locally.  They also have really good support--I'd tell
them your use case and ask them if it would work with them.   Even though
it's shared hosting, I do have ssh--though not root

Re: best way to get started with Dajngo?

[william ratcliff]

I typically recommend that people get started by going through the tutorial.
 I also think that the Django book is a good read.   Afterwards, I would
recommend finding a project that you're interested in and starting it--there
are several other good books out there (for example on testing/debugging, I
also rather liked Pro Django), but until you start getting your hands dirty,
then the knowledge won't really be yoursI am assuming that you already
know python...If not, I rather liked "Beginning Python, from novice to
Professional" and have given it to beginners.   Some of my students liked
codingbat.com

Once you're working on a project, there are any number of blogs with helpful
hints and this list is rather helpful when you have specific questions.
Does anyone have the guidelines for how to ask a good question on the list?

Good luck,
William

I think the OP should ask his manager why they wish to avoid using ajax.
For example, is it sufficient if the page degrades gracefully for those not

django chat?

[william ratcliff]

Hi,

I've started a new site called StudyBrunch, where we offer a chance for
online studygroups with video conferencing, screen sharing etc.   I'd like
to keep the groups small to be maneageble.   I will offer a basic session
on Django (from tutorial) for people who are interested on Saturday
evening.   If you are interested, you can look at:
http://www.studybrunch.com/studysession/django-for-beginners/

For this month, general membership is free and I hope to move on to more
advanced topics later.   If you have questions, or suggestion for topics
(for example, registration/profiles, celery, etc.), then contact us through
http://www.studybrunch.com/contact/ so we don't spam the list.

I have listed some preliminary times on the site in EST, but let me know on
the site if you can't make those and I can try to schedule another session
on Sunday evening.


Best,
William

Re: Basic installation

[william ratcliff]

What operating system are you trying to install it on?  Easy install
is probably your easiest option.   Personally, I use "pip", which once
you've installed easy_install with the above directions, you can use
to install django.  The advantage of pip is that it can also uninstall
packages.

One other question, do you only have ONE version of python installed
on your system?  It is possible that you are installing django using
one version of python and trying to use it running another version of
python and that would explain your current difficulties..

Re: Installation of Django

[william ratcliff]

You don't run easy_install from within python, but rather from the
command line.  So, in your start window, you want to use run to start
"cmd.exe".  This will open a window with a dos prompt.   From there,
type "easy_install django" followed by the enter key

I think before starting django, you might want to spend a bit of time
playing with python.   My students liked "coding bat", but there
should be a number of tutorials on the web.

 Yes, iPython is installed now. But now you need to add  
 C:\Python27\Scripts
 to your PATH variable, so you wont have to keep going there to run

 After you add it, you can run django-admin.py, easy_install, iPython

 from any directory in cmd.exe

Re: Website Statistics - What should I use to have Google Analytics in Django?

[william ratcliff]

Google gives you a small piece of javascript that you need to insert
into your pages to track them.  So, all you need to do is to insert
that code into your templates...

django south

[william ratcliff]

Is there anyone available late next week to give a webinar on django
south?  No need for a detailed presentation, but more to be around to
answer questions  (I think that 9am EST would cover most time zones)?
If so, please contact me off list about dates/times/compensation.

The goal would be to offer another django chat.

William

Re: Which IDE should I use for Django?

Wing IDE

Syntax highlighting
Command completion
Awesome debugging--I can put breakpoints not just on the server, but also
in templates!

It is paid, but for me is worth it for the productivity.

Re: Need advice on ecommerce app direction

I believe that you can also buy the book (or e-book) directly from Amazon:

and I also found it to be an excellent
read.

Re: How to draw line charts in Django?

[william ratcliff]

One other approach is that you can send the data to matplotlib (which is
python) and use that to create a .png which you then serve--it depends on
what your needs are.

Wing works well with django templates and at least in the paid version, you
can debug them...

Re: Creating a simple contact form

If you can wait, I use webfaction and can give you a response for what we do
when I get home late tonight--the email part was a bit annoying to

Re: Creating a simple contact form

[william ratcliff]

Hi Raj,

It sounds like your problem is email, rather than the form.   In our
settings.py we use:

EMAIL_USE_TLS= True
EMAIL_HOST='smtp.webfaction.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER=''
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=r' wrote:

I also recommend the enterprisedb distribution.   I don't recall rebuilding

sqllite does not enforce all constraints, so it's good to start with

Re: django and extjs: works well together?

[william ratcliff]

We've used it--it's really domain specific, but you can look at
tripleaxis.smallangles.net (please don't crash us :>).   We do the front end
with extjs and the back-end with django.   We have a number of ajax calls
made by extjs and then handled by django.   We're also finishing up a
dataflow project (where we let users create filters through which their data
flows--imagine labview for data...).  That project also involves creating
users, redis, etc. and takes a bit more advantage of django...

One thing to be aware of is that several tutorials on the web for extjs are
a bit dated--the library has been improved to be more modular in version 4,
but as a result, some changes need to be made to existing code--we've also
had a few issues making it play nice with YUI (long story...).

Re: django and extjs: works well together?

[william ratcliff]

Incidentally, the example website was coded by a high school student over
the course of a 6 week summer internship with us (who had to learn
javascript, django, and python during that time), so I think the learning
curve shouldn't be too steep

Re: Running the orbited server?

[william ratcliff]

Can't write much now, but you may look at my students' prototype of a web
based system for data reduction at:
https://github.com/pjreddie/WRed

Here, we were updating the client every time a new datapoint came off of our
instrument.  The README tells you how to start orbited, what to do with
STOMP, etc.However, I've also had problems with orbited.org--at some
point, I think the project forked into orbited2 and hookbox.   I'd be really
curious to know what other people are using for Comet--are they still using
django, or did they move on to using something else?

Best,
William
(btw. for our app, it's big and you'd have to fake the data stream to run
the live data part, but it should give you an idea where to put things and
what goes in a cfg file)

Re: Running the orbited server?

[william ratcliff]

Sorry--I'm in the middle of an experiment and the project I pointed you at
is rather large.  For the orbited.js (version 0.7) file, you may use the one
in:
https://github.com/scattering/WRed/tree/master/media/JavaScript/orbited-0.7

In the main directory:
https://github.com/scattering/WRed

In the readme file, it tells you how to start the stomp server, and orbited,
which rely on relay.py and orbited.cfg...These may help you.  Again, I'm not
sure what the future is for orbited, so it might be best to email the
creators...

Best,
William

Re: 3rd party Apps in Django

[william ratcliff]

Yes--as I recalled from the documentation:

*I’ve got functions listening for the registration/activation signals, but
they’re not getting called!*

The most common cause of this is placing django-registration in a
sub-directory that’s on your Python import path, rather than installing it
directly onto the import path as normal. Importing from django-registration
in that case can cause various issues, including incorrectly connecting
signal handlers. For example, if you were to place django-registration
inside a directory named django_apps, and refer to it in that manner, you
would end up with a situation where your code does this:

from django_apps.registration.signals import user_registered

But django-registration will be doing:

from registration.signals import user_registered

>From Python’s point of view, these import statements refer to two different
objects in two different modules, and so signal handlers connected to the
signal from the first import will not be called when the signal is sent
using the second import.

To avoid this problem, follow the standard practice of installing
django-registration directly on your import path and always referring to it
by its own module name: registration (and in general, it is always a good
idea to follow normal Python practices for installing and using Django
applications).

Re: 3rd party Apps in Django

[william ratcliff]

Generally, I tend to create a local cache of dependencies (ex. beautiful
soup, django-registration, etc.) and then use pip to install them to the
python site-packages directory.   The reason I use pip is because uninstall
can be a pain.  It's only when there are 3rd party apps that I need to
modify (which I try to avoid :p) that I include them in an "external_apps"
folder under the project directory.   I suppose some of this is a matter of
personal preference.  I use pip instead of easy_install because it keeps a
record of which packages are installed and allows for uninstall. You
might also want to investigate virtual-env.   I think the main goal for me
is to try to keep things as decoupled as possible and to keep packages
locally in case their source somehow vanishes online, or if I depend on the
particulars of a given version...

Best,
William

Perhaps the following blog post will be useful for you if you just want to
get something up and running:

http://devdoodles.wordpress.com/2009/02/16/user-authentication-with-django-registration/

The author even has a link where you can download some of the standard
templates.

Best,
William

Re: Upload Multiple Images App ?

[william ratcliff]

We've done this using django and the fileapi--but it will only work with
HTML5 and modern browsers...The only other solution I know involves flash
 (I believe uploadify or swfupload)...

User Profiles?

[William Ratcliff]

In Django, the standard way to add additional information to be
associated with a user is to use a user profile. To do this, I have an
app called, "accounts"

accounts
   __init__.py
   models.py
   admin.py  (we'll ignore this for now, it works fine) 
   management
__init__.py
commands
 __init__.py
 generate_user.py
in settings.py we have AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'accounts.UserProfile'

in models.py we have

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
# Create your models here.
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
age=models.IntegerField()
extra_info=models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True)
User.profile = property(lambda u:
UserProfile.objects.get_or_create(user=u)[0])
The last line makes use of python decorators to either get a user
profile object if it already exists, or to return an existing one.
This code is taken from: 
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/django-profile#comment-7262

Next, we need to try to make our simple command. So in gen_user.py

from django.core.manaement.base import NoArgsCommand
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from accounts.models import UserProfile
import django.db.utils


class Command(NoArgsCommand):
help='generate test user'
def handle_noargs(self, **options):
first_name='bob'; last_name='smith'
username='bob' ; email='b...@bob.com'
password='apple'
#create or find a user
try:
 
user=User.objects.create_user(username=username,email=email,password=password)
except django.db.utils.IntegrityError:
print 'user exists'
user=User.objects.get(username=username)
user.firstname=first_name
user.lastname=last_name
user.save() #make sure we have the user before we fiddle around
with his name
#up to here, things work.
user.profile.age=34
user.save()
#test_user=User.objects.get(username=username)
#print 'test', test_user.profile.age
#test_user.profile.age=23
#test_user.save()
#test_user2=User.objects.get(username=username)
#print 'test2', test_user2.profile.age
to run, from your project directory, type python manage.py gen_user

The question is, why doesn't the age update? I suspect that this is a
case of me catching an instance instead of the real object, bet
everything that I've tried from using user.userprofile_set.create to
using setattr, etc. has failed and I'm running out of ideas. Is there
a better pattern? Ideally, I would like to just be able feed in a dict
to update the userprofile, but for now, I can't see how to even update
a single parameter. Also, even when I have been able to create a user
with one parameter (the age, which is required), I have not been able
to later update the additional parameter. I can't remove or delete the
old userprofile and blast in a new one because of the foreignkey
relation.

Ideas? Thanks

Re: Collaborative text editor with Django

If it were me, I would look into using "orbited".  We've used it for doing
real time plotting of data using django.  I'm not sure how it scales
though...

Re: current recommendations for using email as username

If you look through the code in the django admin, then the limit is set in
the database schema.
