Error: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty
I am currently attempting to update django from 1.4 to 2.0 after many syntax corrections I have run into this error when trying to run the server. I am updating django by having installed the latest version on my previous directory. From everything that ive read online, the SECRET_KEY should be set in the settings.py which it is in my case. django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty. If anyone has any resolutions please let me know as I have been struggling with this error for a couple of days now. I understand this may be an issue in the way I am updating so if anyone has more in depth information on updating django that would be very helpful as well. -
Why use dj-stripe or pinax-stripe instead of vanilla stripe?

Cannot Publish/Deploy Django/Python site in local IIS (through Visual Studio publish)
I had trouble deploying to local IIS my DjangoWebProject from Visual Studio (2019). 1) This is for Windows 10 environment. 2) Used stack: Python/Django/MongoDB/Javascript/D3 3) IIS works and successfully shows the default IIS site (tried from localhost and another machine) 4) Everything works great! I could successfully code/build the site and tested everything is working in debug mode (from VS) - e.g. it opens up http://localhost:<portnumber> in Chrome/EDge and the whole website works perfectly with all the form submission etc. etc. 3) Now I wanted to create the internal site published so other users can access and I tried Publish option...

Deploying Django from gitlab to windows VM using Jenkins
I am looking for solution to deploy Django application on Windows Server. I tried to do it in several ways with no effect. Architecture: 1. Host: Windows Serve with Apache WSGI 2. Another Windows server with Jenkins 3. Gitlab with Django application 4. Me :-) I am trying with psexec to run CMD file on host using Jenkins. Inside this file I has a simple script: cd "destination" git status git fetch --all git pull origin master On host server I have configured and generated SSH keys for my user account. Job has very simple configuration with only one build step as a batch script: PsExec64.exe \Remote_server script_path Django on host is cloned from SSH repository. When I try to run above script than I got "Access Denied" or some issues with git. But Jenkins doesn't produced any logs from git. Maybe I should set-up node on Host or use git remote url with HTTPS instead of SSH? -
git continues to control changes on __pycache__ even when it is in gitignore
This is my .gitignore: *__pycache__* *.pyc db.sqlite3 *.DS_Store media/ res/ I can see on my Atom that __pycache__ directories are VcsIgnored (which implies that are recognized as not version controlled by git) But, any way, when I make changes to a file, I get several __pycache__ files as modified and unstaged on my Atom git window: I don't know wether the problem is in git or in Atom. -
Django rest keep getting AssertionError: 'ListCreateAPIView' should either include a `queryset` attribute, or override the `get_queryset()` method
I'm building new app using Django rest and have this issue. I've searched on web, no solution or workaround was found.

Heroku and Static IP for Touchnet

Difference between using Django LocMemCache and Threading.local()?
in my Django app I need to be able to access and edit some shared information from multiple places in my application. This amount of information is small (a dictionary with strings and integers, rarely over 50 keys and usually < 10) and needs to be cleared/evicted after every request. Cost is crucial, so I'd rather not use an option like Memcached. The options I'm considering right now are using Django's built in locMemCache or using Python's built in Threading.local. I have tinkered with both options and they both seem to work in local development, why should I use/not use one or the other? Is there some meaningful advantage/disadvantage to one approach? Is one especially good/bad, ect ect ect?? Thanks. -

Django (DRF): Per object field filter in REST API
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, but say I have a Post model (pseudo-code): class Post(models.Model): title = Charfield content = TextField scope = ChoiceField # same as status in UserProfile model and a UserProfile model: class UserProfile(models.Model): # other fields status = ChoiceField # same as scope in Post model Now, for members with a sufficient status, I want to return all posts regularly, with their title and content. However, for members with insufficient status, I do want to return the same QuerySet, but with the content field omitted from posts that require said scope. All other posts should be returned in full. Example: Post1: has "all" scope Post2: has "members only" scope User1: "all" scope User2: "member" scope Response: For User1: Post1 contains title and content, but Post2 contains only title. For User2: Post1 & Post2 both contain title and content. -
how to get context_object_name in django-tables2 view function? keyword arguments '{'pk': ''}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried (?P<pk>[0-9]+)$']?
when i try using the url 'appname:url_name' object.pk I get error that the app can't access the pk but when i try the same url in any view other than the tableview it works so i deduced that it can't access the 'object' to get the pk so how can I define it in the context to use it in the template. the table here has a button that triggers a modal and the modal has a form action with the wanted url. tables.py class Table(tables.Table): FirstName = tables.Column(linkify=("patients:patient_detail", {"pk": tables.A("pk")})) LastName = tables.Column(linkify=("patients:patient_detail", {"pk": tables.A("pk")})) Telephone_no = tables.Column(linkify=("patients:patient_detail", {"pk": tables.A("pk")})) delete = TemplateColumn('<button type ="button" class ="btn btn-danger" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modalDelete" >Deleta</button>') class Meta: model = Entry attrs = {'class': 'table table-striped table-hover'} exclude = ("user", "Notes", "Adress") template_name = 'django_tables2/bootstrap4.html' Views.py def list(request): entrie = Entry.objects.all() table = Table(entries.filter(user=request.user)) RequestConfig(request).configure(table) return render(request, 'app_name/list.html',{ 'table' : table, 'object':entries, }) Template {% extends 'base.html' %} {% load render_table from django_tables2 %} {% block content %} <div id="content"> {% if user.is_authenticated %} {% render_table table %} {% else %} <h2>please login</h2> {% endif %} </div> <div class="modal fade" id="modalDelete" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="modalDelete" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title">Delete object!</h5> <button type="button" … -
"UnicodeDecodeError: utf-8" trying to do "python manage.py runserver"
I've literally just started some Django lessons because I looked up the options I have and pretty sure it's the best way to complete an internship programming challenge a company assigned to me. The page I ran "django-admin startproject mysite" was "projetoEstados", then I went into mysite through prompt and tryied to run "python manage.py runserver", to be able to properly access 127.0.0.1:8000 and actually start the project, that's when I got the problem. I looked up on a few foruns, including StackOverflow, but couldn't find someone with the exact same problem I'm having, most people kinda knew where the problem was, I'm literally 1 hour into Django, so yes, I'm the most beginner someone could be, so I have no clue on where to go with that error message. So, the exact error I'm getting is in here. This print is unfortunately as specific as i can be, so please someone help me lol. I was obviously expecting no error message, maybe some unapplied migrations, but that's it. Don't know how obvious this information will be, but I can't access 127.0.0.1:8000 to access Django development server with that error happening. -
Django ORM - use SubQuery in FROM clause
Goal: Use RowNumber function to get number for each row, out of that, filter by a value, but retain the appropriate RowNumber given when not applying the filter, since otherwise RowNumber would always return 1. Before translating to Django ORM, I find it helps to get the SQL syntax, which is this: SELECT rn.row_number, name FROM ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY name), name FROM customer ) as rn WHERE name = 'Juan' Problem I can´t manage to translate this to Django ORM. I have tried the following: subq = models.Customer.objects.all().annotate( rank=Window( expression=RowNumber(), order_by=(F('name')) ) ) Here´s where I don´t know how to continue. How do I tell my models.Customer to use subq as the FROM in its query? -
django establish correct relationships between models
I'm new to Django, trying to figure out how to set up my models so that I can accomplish my idea. On my web app, many passengers can book many flights via a form. I want to display all passengers that are associated with a particular flight. Example: London => Paris | [ "Bob", "Alice", "Bill" ] and I will then iterate though that list in my template. Sorry if this is too easy for you. I tried to get the individual flight by id in views.py and then displaying the data in the template: {{ london.passenger.name }} but it returns None views.py def flights(request): london = Flight.objects.get(id=1) context = {'london': london} return render(request, 'flights.html', context) models.py # Passenger model. class Passenger(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50) def __str__(self): return self.name # Flight model. class Flight(models.Model): origin = models.CharField(max_length=50) destination = models.CharField(max_length=50) duration = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True) passengers = models.ManyToManyField(Passenger) def __str__(self): return self.origin + " => " + self.destination -
usage of standard backward relation manager in serilizers
Question is about using standard Django backward related manager name in DRF. I have following serializer class ExtraUserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): boatmodel_set = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(many=True, queryset=BoatModel.objects.all()) class Meta: model = get_user_model() fields = ("id", "username", 'boatmodel_set', ) This serializer represents primary model ExtraUser and boat_model set represents backward relationship to secondary model BoatModel. Related name “boatmodel_set” chosen simply because main core Django site uses this standard “secondarymodel_set” conventional backward related manager name so that in DRF part I had to use related_name = “ boatmodel_set” as well in order to not change code in the main part. Question is - is it possible to keep related_name = “ boatmodel_set” but represent it in rendered json as , for example “boats”?? Thank you -

What is the simplest way of receiving and then processing a csv on a website?
Essentially I built an application using Python (specifically Pandas) that reads a csv then performs some actions on it then ultimately produces an output graph.

Signing up Multiple User types in Django
I am doing a project in which I have to deal with two types of users - company , students I have made 2 apps namely company and student to handle this. Now django does not support multiple types of users so i wanted to know the easiest way of doing it. I followed this Multiple User Types In Django but could not understand properly. I found people suggesting to use OnetoOneField for User and create a profile model separately for Company and Students and an option of creating profile ... class company_profile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) name = models.CharField(max_length=50) location = models.CharField(max_length=100) email = models.EmailField() is_company = models.BooleanField(default = True) is_student = models.BooleanField(default = False) ... I tried creating models like this for the company and similarly for the student The problem is that if i allow creation of user first and then ask them to update their profile then It might happen that a student logs in place of the company before the company has updated its profile. I want to check the is_company or is_student attribute at the time of login. To do this I have followed several blogs / tutorials but kept on getting errors Can … -

Django - RawPostDataException: You cannot access body after reading from request's data stream
I'm really stuck at this problem for a couple of days now. While I understand, what's happening here, I don't really know the best workaround/solution for this. Problem: I'm trying to create a user login endpoint using Django and DRF in general. My login API needs to support a login via password as well as login via OTP. My LoginView looks like: def post(self, request, **kwargs): """ post Method to handle user login :param request: :param args: :param kwargs: :return: """ request_data = request.data login_using_password = request_data.get('login-with-password') is True login_using_otp = request_data.get('login-with-otp') is True if request_data is not None: if all((login_using_password, login_using_otp)): raise accounts_exceptions.InvalidLoginRequestError() if login_using_password: return Response(self._login_with_password(request)) elif login_using_otp: return Response(self._login_with_otp(request)) raise accounts_exceptions.InvalidLoginRequestError() return Response(self._login_with_password(request)) Also my _login_with_password looks like: def _login_with_password(self, request, **kwargs): """ _login_with_password A utility method to handle login with password :param request: :return: """ return getattr(ObtainJSONWebToken.as_view()(request=request._request, ), 'data') When I try to login, Django complains saying RawPostDataException You cannot access body after reading from request's data stream I'm using JWT to authenticate requests.

How to merge existing Django project into a new one with custom user model?
I've researched this some but haven't yet found an easy way to do this. My current project uses the default User model, but I've realized I need to use a custom user model. Is there an easy way to build a new Django project with custom user model and then copy my existing project into it? I do not have a user base so I don't mind losing it.
