Which frame work to use to build a web app [closed]
I have a desktop application that used to work with the tkinter package. But I need to turn it into a web application, so I have to rewrite it. I don't know which framework to choose between Django, Turbogears, Web2py and Cubicweb, as I'm not familiar with any of them. My application has 4 pages, the home page and 3 other pages accessible via buttons on the home page. These tabs contain large graphs in the form of a network and a map with numerous filters, everthing is built using data loaded when the application is launched (the data are loaded using an url link). The application also features images, help buttons that open a help pdf, and buttons to return to the home page. I have no idea which framework would be best suited to my problem and at the same time the easiest to use. From what I've read, I'd go for Django, even if it's a bit complex, especially as there are lots of tutorials on youtube. Thanks ! -

Fallback or Error Handling for Secondary Django Database
I have a second database in my Django application. However, I need a VPN to connect to it. If my VPN is not enabled psycop2 will throw an operational error back at me. However, I would like the ability for that database to fail silently and fallback to the default database in case the connection is refused. Is there a way to do this? I cant seem to find a default way and it seems like a very basic functionality to have. I have tried to implement something through routers suggested in stackoverflow before, but at startup my application will simply say OperationalError: Connection Refused and then crash the rest of the startup procedure. class OVIRouter: """ A router that takes all of the reads, writes and changes to the OVIDevice model (also known as "ovidevice" once the model is translated to SQL), and sends them to the OVI database (The database configured in settings.py through the "ovi_db" entry in the DATABASES constant).

POST 403 Forbidden Django Vue Js

Error on testcase after update from django 2 to 4
I'm updating my entire project from Django 2.2 to Django 4.2.3. I have already read the entire deprecation timeline and done regression tests, and everything is working. But, using the TestCase, I found a difference: tear_down isn't flushing the database after each test, and when it runs, models that are created in migrations are removed as well. Does anyone know what has changed between those versions that can affect tests, teardown, and flush? I tried debbug testcase source code while running my tests, and read changelogs and deprecation list from django docs but without any tip. -
Real Estate Project - Error in Pagination Code
I am a web developer student and I am currently working on a real estate project. I have created a pagination system that allows users to view a list of properties in pages of 10. However, I am getting an error when I try to load the second page of properties. The following is the code that I am using for the pagination: def get_properties(page_number): if page_number is None: page_number = 1 start_index = (page_number - 1) * 10 end_index = start_index + 10 properties = Property.objects.all().order_by('-list_date')[start_index:end_index] return properties The error that I am getting is: Page Not Found (404) The requested page could not be found. I have tried debugging the code, but I cannot seem to find the source of the error. I am hoping that someone can help me troubleshoot this issue. -

Django StreamingHttpResponse not streaming on production API
I'm trying to stream an OpenAI response from a Django server to the browser. I have a view in Django that looks like this (assume that generate_thing returns a stream from OpenAI): @api_view(['POST']) def generate(request): data = json.loads(request.body.decode('utf-8')) result = generate_thing(data) return StreamingHttpResponse(result) Whenever I run this locally, it works exactly as expected. When I upload my Django code to EC2 and try to call it directly on its IP address, it works exactly as expected. However, when I run it through a proxy like API Gateway or Nginx, it waits until the stream has completely finished to return a response. I tried setting Content-Type to text/event-stream before returning it like response = StreamingHttpResponse(result) response['Content-Type'] = 'text/event-stream' return response and it had no effect. -
Preload unique related object in Django
This works just fine and only performs one DB query: qs = Blog.objects.filter(post=Subquery( Post.objects.filter(blog=OuterRef("pk")) .order_by("-date").values("pk")[:1] )) for bt, pt in qs.values_list("title", "post__title"): print(f"The latest post in {bt} is about {pt}") However, how can I have Django construct Blog and Post objects out of such a queryset without needing additional queries? Something like the following: for blog in qs.select_related("post"): print(f"The latest post in {blog.title} is about {blog.post.title}") Assume it’s not possible to reverse the queryset (Post.objects.select_related("blog")), because, for example, there are other related models that need the same treatment as Post. -

Python FileNotFoundError even though file is in same directory
I'm trying to use pickle to load a file within the same directory but I am getting FileNotFoundError for some reason. This is my code in views.py: from django.shortcuts import render from django.http import HttpResponse from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage import pickle model = pickle.load(open('braintumor.pkl', 'rb')) def say_hello(request): return render(request, 'hello.html', {'name:': 'Alisha'}) def index(request): return render(request, 'index.html', { 'a' : 1}) And this is my file structure: webapp views.py braintumor.pkl It's a django app so is more complex than this but it wasn't important to list every file and directory, there is definitely no spelling errors and the pkl file is definitely in the same directory as views.py. I also tried a file structure like this: webapp views.py models -braintumor.pkl And then I tried using the import statement: "from models import braintumor" but that didn't work because I got an error saying that there is no such file or directory 'models'. I also tried loading it with the statement: "model = pickle.load(open('models/braintumor.pkl', 'rb'))" but still get FileNotFoundError! It seems no matter what I do, python simply cannot load anything and I have no idea what to do. I see nothing wrong with any of the solutions I tried. Please help, …
