Custom permissions in rests framework
I need permissions for my app in DRF. Input: noauthenticated users can only read publication and images authenticated users can create publications and add images authorized users can edit and delete publications and images for which they are authors admin user can do all actions but DELETE content Models: class Publication(models.Model): pub_text = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True) pub_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) pub_author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) class Image(models.Model): image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images', null=True) image_to_pub = models.ForeignKey(Publication, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, related_name='images') Views: class PublicationViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): queryset = Publication.objects.all() serializer_class = PublicationSerializer permission_classes = [PublicPermission] class ImageViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet): queryset = Image.objects.all() serializer_class = ImageSerializer permission_classes = [ImagePermission] Permissions: class ImagePermission(BasePermission): edit_methods = ['PUT', 'PATCH'] def has_permission(self, request, view): if request.method in SAFE_METHODS: return True if request.user.is_authenticated: return True def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj): if request.user.is_superuser: return True if request.method in SAFE_METHODS: return True if request.user.id == Publication.objects.get(id=obj.image_to_pub_id).pub_author_id: return True if request.user.is_staff and request.method not in self.edit_methods: return True return False class ImageAuthorPermission(BasePermission): def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj): if request.user.id == Publication.objects.get(id=obj.image_to_pub_id).pub_author_id: return True return False Now it works as i described above.

How to make my django views.py read excel sheet and display a blank cell, not "nan"
I am working on a project using django and plotly. It reads from an excel sheet and displays the data accordingly. Everything works except I have a child survey column that is only populated with some parent surveys. Because of that, the cells without a child survey are displaying 'nan' instead of just being empty. this is my function in views.py: def survey_status_view(request): # Fetch data for all CLINs and calculate necessary values clin_data = [] # Get all unique combinations of CLIN and child survey unique_clins = SurveyData.objects.values('clin', 'survey_child').distinct() for clin in unique_clins: clin_id = clin['clin'] child_survey = clin['survey_child'] # Check if the child_survey is 'None' (the string), and handle it appropriately if child_survey == 'None': child_survey = '' # Replace 'None' with an empty string # Filter by both clin and child_survey survey_data = SurveyData.objects.filter(clin=clin_id, survey_child=child_survey) # Total units for the current CLIN and child survey total_units = survey_data.first().units if survey_data.exists() else 0 # Count redeemed units based on non-null redemption dates redeemed_count = survey_data.filter(redemption_date__isnull=False).count() # Calculate funds for this CLIN and child survey total_funds = total_units * survey_data.first().denomination if total_units > 0 else 0 spent_funds = redeemed_count * survey_data.first().denomination if redeemed_count > 0 else 0 remaining_funds = … -
I have a persistent 'FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINT failed' error with shopping cart app, is it a problem with the models?
So I'm working with a group trying to code a kind of library. We're using django to create the web application, but I keep seeing this error occur.enter image description here Here's the model I'm using in the cart app: from django.db import models from video_rental.models import Movie, CustomUser from django.conf import settings class CartItem(models.Model): movie = models.ForeignKey(Movie, on_delete=models.CASCADE) quantity = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0) user = models.ForeignKey(CustomUser, on_delete=models.CASCADE) date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) def __str__(self): return f'{self.quantity} x {self.movie.title}' Here are the views: from django.shortcuts import render from django.shortcuts import render, redirect from .models import CartItem from video_rental.models import Movie def movie_list(request): movies = Movie.objects.all() return render(request, 'myapp/index.html', {'products': movies}) def view_cart(request): cart_items = CartItem.objects.filter(user=request.user) return render(request, 'myapp/cart.html', {'cart_items': cart_items}) def add_to_cart(request, title): movie= Movie.objects.get(title=title) cart_item, created = CartItem.objects.get_or_create(movie=movie, user=request.user) cart_item.quantity += 1 cart_item.save() return redirect('cart:view_cart') def remove_from_cart(request, title): cart_item = CartItem.objects.get(title=title) cart_item.delete() return redirect('cart:view_cart') def home(request): return HttpResponse('Hello, World!')

Django+tenant FATAL: sorry, too many clients already
I am currently updating the following error in my application: FATAL: sorry, too many clients already This error does not occur all the time, only at certain times of the day.

Why I can't install Django channels?
My OS is ubuntu 24.04. I am trying to create a chat application in Django. For that I need django channels and try to install them with pip install channels command. After executing this command I get this error: pip install channels error: externally-managed-environment × This environment is externally managed ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to install. If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package, create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv. Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make sure you have python3-full installed. If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application, it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed. See /usr/share/doc/python3.12/README.venv for more information. note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages. hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification. I just want to install with pip the django channels to use it in chat application. -

Recommend a Tech Stack for a small CRM/Inventory web/mobile app with DB access and local logins
I have some Python experience with building machine learning models in Jupyter, but I am looking to build a web app with locally created logins but all these new tech stacks are a bit overwhelming. I want to learn full stack, but which route I need to choose now. As I understand Node.js has it's route and then you now also have FastHTML, Flask DJANGO etc, and then DB's to use. I need some guidance for a novice to start learning a tech stack. And then do you mostly stick with what you start with or is it a mix-match. Yes, I understand there is no perfect formula but this is why I am asking experts in the field with years experience and not GPT. Guidance pls !!PLEASE I DO NOT WANT AN ANSWER GENERATED BY ANY LLM, HAVE READ THEM ALREADY. GOOD OLD FASHIONED EXPERIENCE PLEASE!! -

Database Connections spiking randomly
I have an application with Django as backend. It is hosted on the EC2. The database is hosted on the AWS RDS Postgres SQL. The Connections to the database keep spiking to the maximum limit, even though we do not have that much users. The application is used by merely 10 people in the organization but the connections spike up to 80. Can anyone suggest what can be the issue behind this? I think it might be causing due to multiple requests from a single client leading to multiple connections. It will be great if somebody can help me out t find the cause. I tried redeploying the server as well as rebooting the rds instance but there is no change. I even tried adding the idle connection termination parameter through the rds parameter groups. When I checked the db for connection details, I saw multiple connections from same user ids. Can this be related to the issue? -

Making instances of Django records with a through model
Let's say you have a concept of a Battle, and in that battle there are Players and Enemies. The players are a simple ManyToMany, but Enemies require a Through model, because if there's a DB entry for "Goblin", players need to fight an INSTANCE of the Goblin model. Players may fight many Goblins, and each needs their own health/status at any given moment. So far, I've got a Django model like so (I'm simplifying the code for readability, and to focus on the main issue) class Battle(models.Model): players = ManyToMany(Player) enemies = ManyToMany(Enemy, through=EnemyThroughModel) With the appropriate adjustments to admin.py and such, this works in that I can attach multiple Enemies to a Battle and see them listed separately in admin, HOWEVER, those are all keyed to the same basic Enemy, and if I change one of them (say, they take damage), ALL the keyed references to that enemy now have their health reduced. Is there a neat way I can use through models to create a new instance of the enemies, so that they have independent health/mana/etc? -
VSCode not discovering pytests for Django Project

Django backend user registration
I'm currently writing a system with users creation process involved. The system will have a 'site-administrator' who can create (and modify, delete) users. However, I'm stuck with the part of creating users. What I want is: Site Administrator creates a user Django will create a one time password and send this to the user (based on email) User logs in System detects it's the first time and forces the user (via frontend) to update password User updates password and logs in with new credentials Bearer tokens (access / refresh) are issued The frontend is VUE (with axios, pinia etc) but that's of no use for this question. The backend is Django, Djano Rest Framework, SimpleJWT and a MariaDB for storing info on the backend. Thank you for taking the time to answer this question. -
django stops running when i send an request to api
In the rest api I have a view that sends an otp sms to the user's phone . when I send a request to my api , It just sends another request to other server and waits for the response But It takes a while and django just stops working . I am worry about it . what if upload it to server and django can't handle multi requests and crashes in the real server with different request from multiple users? How can I fix this problem ? Also mu CPU has only 2 cores and I don't think using multi threading is an good idea! -
Automatically starting task queue for django-background-tasks
I'm building an application which involves a task queue from django-background-tasks. The issue that I'm facing is that I can't seem to start the queue automatically and have to manually run process_tasks in my application container. I've already tried running the process_tasks command within my Dockerfile, however this seems to not do anything as open tasks are not resolved. CMD ["bash", "-c", "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 && python manage.py process_tasks"] Has anyone experienced this issue, and if so how did you handle it? I tried to run the process_tasks command in my Dockerfile after executing runserver , I expected this to automatically start the task queue, however this did not yield any result. -
Django: Dynamic form doesn't correctly handle boolean inputs

This is Django 5.1 and Python 3.12. -
What exactly are Django Widgets?
I am a little confused as to what exactly Django Widgets are.

What exactly is meant by extraction of data from GET/POST dict? That is done by the passing data argument to form instantiation, how does Widget come into picture here? If I understood correctly, Widgets just create the HTML <input> tags, and take attr parameters that set attributes of this input tag, viz. size (in case of text input), required (override on the field required value), class, etc. So how exactly do packages like crispy-forms+crispy-bootstrap5, django-bootstrap5 differ from these Widgets? And what do they do with Django Widgets? Also, these packages have parameters when rendering a field where css_class (the actual class of the input) can be modified. How does this play with Widget attr['class']? Does Django have templates for each Widget in files (like rest of the templates in the Django template system)? -
How to remove a field that was added by mistake from a form in Django
I have 3 password fields. The first one (password) is useless, it doesn't do anything literally. password1 and password2 are the real fields that are working.problem I was trying to change password and password2 ---> password and confirm password. But it didn't work, so I returned it back to password and password2, but it did this and I can't remove the extra password field that appeared there. I deleted the sql file and the migrations file and make migrations from the beginning and it didn't work.code -
