How to use Django Messages field wise in template like Laravel's error in blade template
In Laravel I have a much finer control to show error related to each form field like we can write below in the blade template below respective fields <input name='username' placeholder='User Name' type='text' /> @error('username') <input name='email' placeholder='Email' type='text' /> @error('email') where within quotes are the form input field name. Now if there is a validation error, you can show error below that input field. And error contents are also out of the box basis the validation check of those fields in PHP Code Whereas in Django, it is more like all errors together in the Django Message Framework. Is there a way, from messages one can get errors by field. At least from the documentation I couldn't figure out. -
A changed object is not reflecting in the database
Consider: jobs = Job.objects.bulk_create(jobs) ids = [job.id for job in jobs] # Wait for results (computed by another process) not_done = set(ids) while not_done: complete_jobs = Job.objects.filter( id__in=not_done, result__isnull=False) for job in complete_jobs: job.complete = ms_now() # the current timestamp in ms job.save() print(f"Removing from not_done: {job.id}", flush=True) not_done.remove(job.id) time.sleep(0.1) When the computation is finished, some jobs still have null in the complete attribute. When I look at the output, the line beginning with "Removing from not_done: appears for these jobs. Somehow, job.save() does not result in the new value of job.complete reflecting in the database. Why could this be happening and how do I fix it? -

Django save() with specified psycopg connection
I have made a class called Database that I use to manage a connection to a Postgres database via psycopg3. This enables me to do things like: db = Database(postgres_connection_data) class_one_instance.insert(insert_data, db) class_two_instance.insert(insert_data, db) db.commit() The exception handling in the insert methods is such that we only get to db.commit() if both inserts have worked, which is exactly what I want. I am exploring Django as an option in our stack and I would like to replace the implementation of class two's insert() with save() from models.Model. How can I use my Database object with save()? def insert(self, insert_data, db): self.save() -
Django, gunicorn workers, scaling on Kubernetes
Kind of related to this post, we're in a similar position where we have a django application using gunicorn WSGI running on a Kubernetes cluster. I have read the official docs on how to configure num of workers (see design), but I still don't understand how this converts to a kubernetes pod running on a cluster utilising shared CPU? I have done various load tests on our test environment and the following is an idea of metrics I get and the resources in use: Django deployment containing 3 pods minimum but can scale to 20 Each pod has 1 CPU in Kubernetes config Each pod runs 3 gunicorn WSGI workers currently Pods run across Kubernetes nodes, each node has 4 CPUs Simple load testing suggests, we reach about 20-25rps maximum and then workers begin to restart, which seems quite bad! Scaling kicks in but its a lot slower than I'd like, despite optimisations, although we are slowed down a little by the istio-proxy side containers which have to start first before the app container Does anyone have any similar issues when it comes to scaling django apps? I know there can be a lot of differences depending on code, API … -

Django anon cart system not working on first visit to site
I wanted to implement an anonymous cart system to my django site.

correct response code for role management
I’ve a user model and have some roles through other models (admin , doctor , patient, manager models ... etc) . I’ve one login endpoint for all . the patient, doctor only login with mobile number (didn’t handle it yet “means if he has email can login too”). patient only uses mobile application ... doctors on the web. all endpoints of each role are guarded with it’s related model , Like all users can login successfully as long as they’ve a User model , But when they try to access the admin , doctor… etc, they must have a related relation of the role … like if a user need to access the doctor endpoints , he must have a doctor instance . A user can have many roles (can register as many roles). What’s the best response code for this case if a user tried to access doctor endpoints without having a doctor instance ? 404 (user not found ) or 403 (unauthorized) and why please give a detailed response . Thanks I've implemented the response as a 403 , but "considering the doctor can be a patient" when he (doctor) logins through mobile (as patient) while he doesn't … -

Django ORM for custom python function
I have following two models class Membership(models.BaseModel): user = models.ForeignKey(User) package = models.ForeignKey(Package, on_delete=models.PROTECT, blank=True, null=True, related_name="package_membersips") benefit_end = models.DateField() benefit_start = models.DateField() class Package(models.BaseModel): name = models.CharField(max_length=40) description = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True) class PackageTier(BaseModel): package = models.ForeignKey(Package, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='package_tiers') min_members = models.IntegerField() max_members = models.IntegerField() retail_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2) wholesale_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2) The wholesale_price and retail_price calculation consists of some logic, that is difficult to perform using ORM: def get_package_price(package_instance): count = package_instance.package_memberships.count() tier = package_instance.package_tiers.filter( min_members__lte=count + 1, max_members__gte=count + 1 ).first() if not tier: tier = package_instance.package_tiers.order_by('id').first() return tier.retail_price if tier else 0 def get_package_wholesale_price(package_instance): count = package_instance.package_memberships.count() tier = package_instance.package_tiers.filter( min_members__lte=count, max_members__gte=count ).first() if not tier: tier = package_instance.package_tiers.order_by('id').first() return tier.wholesale_price if tier else 0 These are business logic and I need to aggregate the result based on the year basis. # sample response: {"data": [ { "year": 2021, "commission": 1.0 }, { "year": 2022, "commission": 8.2 }, { "year": 2023, "commission": 11.0 }, ]} Is there any way that I can use get_package_price and get_package_wholesale_price inside Django ORM ?

Why is caching not improving the performance in my django view?
I am trying to improve performance of a view by caching a given linear algebra expression and its corresponding result. I am using memcached and pymemcache but for some reason theres no performance gain. Heres my view: @api_view(['POST']) @login_required(login_url='/api/login/') @csrf_exempt def compute_lalg_expression(request): form = LinearAlgebraExpForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): new_expr = form.save(commit=False) data_expr = form.cleaned_data data_expr = data_expr['exp'] exp_hash = hashlib.md5(data_expr.encode()).hexdigest() alg_exp = cache.get(exp_hash) if not alg_exp: parsed_exp = parser.parse(data_expr) eval_data = evaluate(parsed_exp) expr_model = LinearAlgebraExpression(exp=eval_data) expr_model.save() create_action(request.user, 'computed an expression', expr_model) serializer = LinearAlgebraExpSerializer(expr_model) cache.set(exp_hash, serializer.data) return Response(serializer.data) return Response(alg_exp) And here is the client I am testing it with. I am testing it by removing the lines associated with caching above so I am removing exp_hash, alg_exp and so on so I remove the if statement that checks whether alg_exp is true or false and i remove cache_set. Anyways heres my client import aiohttp import asyncio import time async def make_request(session): url = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/compute/' payload = {'exp': exp + '*' + exp2} # Replace with your POST data async with session.post(url, data=payload, auth=aiohttp.BasicAuth('jobpink', 'hello123')) as response: return await response.text() async def main(): # Adjust these values as needed num_requests = 5000 # Number of requests to send concurrency = 10 … -

Why is my Docx converter returning 'None'
I am new to web development and trying to create a language translation app in Django that translates uploaded documents. It relies on a series of interconversions between pdf and docx. When my code ouputs the translated document it cannot be opened. When I inspect the file type I saw it identified as XML and docx and it could be opened and read by MS Word when I changed the extension to docx(But it couldn't be read by any PDF readers). When I used my code python to analyze the file by printing the type and the contents of it I got NoneType and None. A working PDF of the file is found in mysite/mysite folder but the one output by my reConverter function that is sent to the browser is the problem file. I tried manually converting it using: wordObj = win32com.client.Dispatch('Word.Application') docObj = wordObj.Documents.Open(wordFilename) docObj.SaveAs(pdfFilename, FileFormat=wdFormatPDF) docObj.Close() wordObj.Quit() but got a CoInitialization error.

User Based Views
I am working on a project whereby I would like to generate a report which has the ability to have a drop down list of users, such that the data in the report changes depending upon the user being selected. I'm looking at this from an admin perspective. I know how to create such a view for request.user, but I'm not entirely sure how to create the functionality for a drop down list of users and then the output changes. Any thoughts as to how to do this? I do have an example of existing code I can provide to show what I am trying to achieve; however it won't necessarily answer my question. Best, Neil
