when i did self.model.slug i had no idea what i was doing xd
meager anchor
are you sure that that's the actual slug of the current object and not the field of the model?

alright

gleaming drift
Could someone at least point me in the right direction?
grand badge
What do you mean @gleaming drift ?
gleaming drift
I can copy paste see 2:43 (that's PST time) so roughly 6 hours ago
right before your and gdude's convo I believe
tbh I didn't know where to ask, figured since my program is in python this be a starting point
lol were they giving me shit cause my question was bad? I just noticed that
grand badge
umm
i dont think many people use nodejs in this server. I mean its a server dedicated to python
gleaming drift
right, i'll use python if possible
problem is idk what exactly im lookginf for
just dont want to sign into game, join match every time I wanna work on prog
grand badge
U can stick to your node.js thing, but you have to find the right place to ask the question
Do u know the Programming server?
gleaming drift
can i use python to just send the json to myself at set intervals
what you mean prog server?
actually, im sure i can, just thought of that

Is there a way to render templates with place holders. In example I have 50 pages for every state but don't want to write 50 routes. Just one where the url is index/[state]. Below is the code I wrote thinking it would work but got a template not found error.
from flask import Flask, request, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/index/<state>")
def state_page(state):
return render_template('state.html', state=state)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
did u put the html template in templates directory? @indigo holly
meager anchor
@indigo holly maybe it'd be better to have state passed as a GET parameter and then passing it to the template as context?
indigo holly
It is in the template directory! And one second Volcyy. Let me see if I can translate that to code with what you suggested.
So @meager anchor I'm not sure how to make this code into a placeholder that can be dynamic. I understand how routes work statically though.
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/state", methods=['GET'])
def state_page(state):
return render_template('state.html', state=state)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
one sec
ok, so you want to access the GET parameters from the request
a quick glance over the docs tells me you can access the request using from flask import request, and then get arguments from it using request.args.get('key', '')
so in your case it would be
from flask import request # and your other stuff
@app.route("/state", methods=['GET'])
def state_page():
state = request.args.get('state', default) # set default to whatever the default state should be
return render_template('state.html', state=state)
# ...
then you can use state in your template
west glen
You'd want to change your @app.route to just be a catchall in this case, no?
meager anchor
wdym?
west glen
I think I misunderstood NotSam 's intent, you'd be accessing this though "example.com/state?state=VA", right? I first read it as wanting to access through "example.com/VA"
meager anchor
oh, yeah
indigo holly
Richy, you're correct about the example.com/VA my original example just included an additional slash for ... not sure
indigo holly
The goal is to be able to go to example.com/VA, example.com/PA ..etc with a single route
indigo holly
Sorry about the confusion here
west glen
I think your original code might have been correct,.
Can you try creating a static route that you know works, then retry using the template on that route. That'd help you diagnose the "template not found error".
indigo holly
Sure. Be back soon with results
brave mantle
@indigo holly Try enabling flask debug mode
That'll help you figure out errors like that
As for your first block of code, that approach was fine
The error was just that it couldn't find the template
indigo holly
Hm. Okay. So it's a pathing issue?
Because when I type example.com/FL I want it to open my FL.html but so I was trying to make the code replace 'state' with the string of the url entered.
Let me try the directory stuff again
west glen
If you have it stored in FL.html, that's the issue, it's looking for a file called state.html.
You'd need to a string replacement,
either
'{}.html'.format(state) or f"{state}.html"
But with templating, you should be able to create that state.html file, which takes the name of the state, and any of the information, and renders out the html from there.
@indigo holly , incase you're busy working, not reading Discord ๐ ^
indigo holly
๐ฌ
meager anchor
I think the string formatting method could work, but isn't it dangerous as a user could try to access example.com/../../someotherfile and break the app?
west glen
They could, yes, so you'd want to check the state is in a collection of supported states, and send them a 404 otherwise
brave mantle
No they couldn't
Not unless the param uses the path type
Which I don't think it does
Without the path type set it will ignore anything after the slash
Including the slash actually
west glen
Oh, I see, you were using .., I read that as ...
indigo holly
Alright, I think I have a better grasp of what to do here. Thank you for the helpful assistance everyone
west glen
If you have a seperate, manually created page for each state, the render template is probably not what you want, but hopefully you'll crack this nut
indigo holly
The HTML guys and supervisor change what they want everyday, so we'll see haha

Getting Postgres to work with Django tests is insanely frustrating
Yesterday I first had an issue with Django apparently truncating (pgsql) passwords longer than 70 characters, now when setting it up locally, I keep getting "relation does not exist" when trying to create a test database
Then, it keeps trying to delete and recreate the test database, which makes permission management very weird
If I tell it to not delete it, it will just not run any tests. If I tell it to (and I even made the pgsql user that django uses superuser for testing), I get ```py
psycopg2.ProgrammingError: relation "audit_log" does not exist
LINE 1: ..."audit_log"."reason", "audit_log"."category" FROM "audit_log..."
^
...
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
...
cursor.close()
psycopg2.OperationalError: cursor "_django_curs_140735985812352_1" does not exist
which I don't understand. We had the same issue on the actual database yesterday but I don't know what fixed itDid anyone run into similar issues?
I mean, I can just test against the actual remote PGSQL database (on a test database, of course), but that's a lot slower than running it locally and also kinda besides the point
For the record, I'd like to stay away from Docker for running this.
Maybe should've put it in #databases 
meager anchor
OK, I think I figured it out. I don't know what caused the above issue, but one of the migrations was wrong and didn't create a column properly. No, it was not audit_log.

is it possible to use dash (https://plot.ly/products/dash/) with django? how can i use dash for just 1 page on my site, if it starts its own webserver?
grand badge
django is like a "batteries included framework"
flask is a "batteries not included, buy them" framework
django makes u do stuff the "django" way
flask lets u do stuff your way
tame viper
that's a decent analogy
grand badge
but u can build the same stuff with both frameworks
strange thorn
django users are weird people to me
little nexus
ok, i think im getting this
and what do you reccomend to deploy my site? it says that the flask built in server isnt suitable for production
strange thorn
easy to use would be gunicorn
little nexus
that is what i found
little nexus
with ngnix?
strange thorn
no no
brave mantle
You shouldn't, but yes
little nexus
yeah but i might be seeing a lot of load on my server
brave mantle
you should have nginx serve your static files directly, and then proxy everything else to one of your gunicorn workers
meager anchor
iirc you proxy it to the master and that one handles routing to the workers
strange thorn
nah unlikely you see that much load
little nexus
probably not but it might go big who knows XD
meager anchor
I think gunicorn recommends cpu_count * 2 + 1 workers?
brave mantle
Yeah
little nexus
yeah thats what i saw volcyy
little nexus
what does gevent do
strange thorn
its like asyncio
brave mantle
It makes a bunch of things asynchronous under the hood
It's pretty much transparent though
little nexus
ahh
brave mantle
gunicorn has explicit support for it
strange thorn
and in case that isnt enough
you can still split your stuff up to multiple machines/vms/containers and put for example ngnix as a load balancer infront
little nexus
haha dont think ill ever get that much load
but yeah, good to see expansion options
strange thorn
scaling is so important these days
little nexus
also i saw a lot about running things in isolated python containers? what is all that about?
brave mantle
Docker
strange thorn
docker
brave mantle
yeah, you can do that, it does make automatic deployment easier
strange thorn
well there are others
brave mantle
We also do that
brave mantle
well I mean you'll be using docker or LXC
and docker is basically just an API on top of LXC, if you're on linux, so
little nexus
what does docker do?
brave mantle
It's a very light virtualisation layer
You're basically running your application in a very small VM
All it does is keep its networking and resources separate from the rest of your machine
strange thorn
basically it runs another system which still uses the same kernel as the real system but everything else is virtualized
little nexus
ok
strange thorn
think of it as a cool version of virtual machines
little nexus
which bits would you put in a docker instance then?
brave mantle
Gunicorn and your webapp itself
native tide
u can use virtualenv in place of docker
strange thorn
no
native tide
i do that only
brave mantle
No you cannot
strange thorn
thats bullshit
brave mantle
they are completely different things
native tide
how?
native tide
they r different
strange thorn
not even close to
little nexus
what does virtualenv do then
brave mantle
They do different jobs, you can't replace one with the other
that's a silly assertion
brave mantle
yeah, that's basically it
native tide
yeah
strange thorn
but everything still runs on the main system
little nexus
why would isolating them be good?
brave mantle
When you have more than one python application on a single machine, their dependencies can overlap and conflict
strange thorn
its like virtualenv + pip
brave mantle
virtualenvs solve this problem
native tide
ohh
brave mantle
docker goes one step further and isolates the entire running environment basically
strange thorn
its no related to virtualenv
little nexus
would you run a virtualenv inside docker then?
strange thorn
yes but due to most docker containers only being used for one thing it wouldnt make sense
strange thorn
it only makes sense if you have multiple things running on the system
like for example
2 flask apps which need different flask versions cause one cant use a higher one
in this case the one which cant use the higher version would break
little nexus
yeah, mostly
little nexus
good good
:P
thanks for the help guys
why would you want to use docker? to run multiple websites behind an ngnix server, on one (or more) servers?
strange thorn
lets say 1 instance of your web app cant handle the load
you just run 2 put them behind a load balancer and bam it can handle the load
and docker is used for running those two
little nexus
and what would be docker's job there?
strange thorn
with docker you can run 2 seperated environments on the same machine
little nexus
but why 2 seperated and not 1 big one?
assuming compatability of deps is not an issue
strange thorn
paralelism
look at for example super computers, why dont we just build one mega CPU and instead have dozens of computers running at the same time
so they can handle a LOT different tasks at the same time
little nexus
right
strange thorn
while one big one may handle a small amount faster 2 normal ones can handle more at the same time
(at least thats my understanding)
little nexus
so an open connection might block a webserver so your second instance can take another connection smoothly? am i kinda close here?
strange thorn
yes
strange thorn
and what the load balancer does is just counting who has who many connections to handle and splits them up according to that
and yes thats exactly what i was meaning with the super computer example
little nexus
right
and the "tree" for everything would be in this order? ngnix -> docker -> gunicorn + flask
strange thorn
yes you can do it like that
little nexus
is there a better way?
strange thorn
you could split it up to several physical machines too and run docker containers on all of them
but on the software level apart from maybe using some container orchestration software this is a very good way to scale the app
brave mantle
eh
what Nix says isn't very clear
Docker has this thing called swarming
so you set up a bunch of machines in your docker swarm
and then you can use - for example - saltstack or docker itself to deploy containers to the machines in the swarm

Not sure if this is the right channel but how would I go about using HTML to open a python script and run it?
Like if I were to click a button and it would launch a python script on my computer
(without flask or any similar programs)
strange thorn
well he could use electron and some js.....
twin shoal
@strange thorn How would I do it then
strange thorn
yeah thats true
twin shoal
Would it be possible to use PHP and exec the py script?
twin shoal
oh how so
strange thorn
well
python is pretty popular in doing the job php usually does
you can use a python webframe work like flask or django (django seems a bit overkill for this) to do what php usually does
and then just use normal html and js at the frontend
twin shoal
oh flask
brittle copper
Not sure if this is the right channel but how would I go about using HTML to open a python script and run it?
That would be a huge violation of your security lol
No one would ever visit your site if you can achieve it which you never will

Hi all, I just read posts. @twin shoal Web GUIs have these pillars: HTML, JavaScript and CSS and you cannot run python in your browser. Browser simply does not understand python.
But you can serve points to call from your web gui to accomplish what you want

Ok, so I'm working on user profiles for my site (Django). Currently profile URLs are profile/{user-id}, which works, but the URL is pretty ugly. I want to give users the ability to set "nicks" on their profile so they can access their profile using a simpler URL, e.g. profile/~volcyy. What's the best way to accomplish this without a redirect?
The redirect was my initial idea. Have an extra view handling profiles/~<str:nick>, if exists, redirect, else 404
But that would just change the URL back again and kinda ruin the point IMHO
tame viper
well
nobody cares about what a URL looks like
it's more about accessibility
i think a redirect would work fine

But it was my very first project ever
I directly jumped into django without even knowing what even a class was
Also half of these should be javascript instead of python, lol
meager anchor
what
i'm very sure that Paginator handles all of this by itself
literally all I had to do to add Paginator to my generic.ListView was adding ```py
paginate_by = 10
and some simple html
```django
{% if is_paginated %}
<nav class="pagination align-center">
<ul>
{% if page_obj.has_previous %}
<li><a href="?page={{ page_obj.previous_page_number }}"><</a></li>
{% endif %}
<li>
<a href="#">Page <strong>{{ page_obj.number }}</strong> of <strong>{{ page_obj.paginator.num_pages }}</strong></a>
</li>
{% if page_obj.has_next %}
<li><a href="?page={{ page_obj.next_page_number }}">></a></li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
</nav>
{% endif %}```you mean in the HTML?
brittle copper
Hold on lemme show it
I made this whole thing work with python instead of using couple of lines of javascript
And I do realize the python code is also disgusting
But hey, I didn't know python at all when I started it sooo /shrug

this looks like you could accomplish it in the template with a for loop easily

Doing my first web app deployment and using python anywhere. Anyone famliar with why I'm getting an error
"RoundBallmain.app as application imported but unused" Here is the relevant code:

Sup everyone, got a Flask question here.
I'm working on an OAuth workflow via a website for my Discord bot, and it just makes sense to make all the API calls after the authentication from within the website script instead of having the Discord bot do it for avoiding issues later on. Now, these API calls in total can take roughly 5-10 seconds, and I'd like to render an HTML basically saying "Hold up, this can take a few seconds", then rendering another saying it succeeded at the end. Using render_template at the top of the app route doesn't work though (I'm very new to web development). Anyone have any ideas on how to do it?
brave mantle
Ok, so you have a long-running task
there's a couple ways to do this
- Set up a task runner (eg, Celery), farm out your tasks to that, and use AJAX to query the status of the task (securely)
- Set up a task runner and use websockets to communicate task status between the server and the browser
either way, you can't just render and render again, you'll need some logic on the page to make the client reload or move to another page
that means javascript.
dry portal
Gotcha. There's no way to render and after the render run more scripts, right?
brave mantle
No, the reason for that is just how the lifecycle of a request works
No data is returned to the client until the request function has finished executing
dry portal
Ahh, that makes sense. I know literally 0 JS, so this is gonna be fun. ๐
Well, thanks man, appreciate it!

i've heard that it's possible to host a website on a raspberry pi, but i don't know how possible or advisable that is, especially for someone like me with very limited knowledge in this field. thoughts?
neat nest
reasons to do it:
(1) very good learning experience
(2) you don't have to pay for anything you're not already paying for (except possibly a domain)
things to be taken into account:
(1) you need to obtain a static IP address
(2) you are more actively exposing your private network to you internet when asking people to come take a look at a website hosted on it. this shouldn't be a strong determent but be very security conscious
(3) you're probably not going to be able to field terribly heavy traffic
tame viper
the learning experience is my main focus, by far.

Raspberry pi i guess is okay for hosting

oh wait actually I guess some people in the world use guis
tame viper
nah i don't have a GUI on my pi

all the server work would be very similar, then, digiocean would just handle the whole "having a network" bit

Anyone familiar with dynamic routes in flask?
If I have a bunch of HTML files for separate pages is there a better way to route to them with less code than an IF statement for each one, like this:
@app.route('/<page>')
def index(page):
if page=='example1':
return render_template('example1.html')
if page=='example2':
return render_template('example2.html')
That's what I was thinking actually
tame viper
{
"example1": "example1.html",
...
}
mild bridge
will the html page always have the same name as the page variable?
e.g. index(x) would return x.html?
indigo holly
No its based off US states. so the URL preferably be
url.com/fl returns florida.html
Alright that makes sense! Just wanted some reassurance before I started. Thanks all
indigo holly
I'm getting an error that I haven't been able to troubleshoot with the internet so far.
Error: render_template() argument after ** must be a mapping, not str
I understand what its saying that the render_template can only take one parameter but unsure what to pass then
state_page = {
'fls':'florida_senate.html', 'vas':'virginia_senate.html', 'national':'national_congress.html'
}
@app.route('/<state_page>')
def index(state_page):
return render_template(state_page, **state_page)
i believe you should make your index argument named state_name then do render_template(state_page[state_name])?
indigo holly
@app.route('/<state_name>')
def index(state_name):
return render_template(state_page[state_name])
This worked! Thank you.

So for some reason my Django doesn't purge the database properly after each test case, and I get some incredibly weird behaviour because of that. Shouldn't TransactionTestCase isolate the test? I'm using it because the others don't support fixtures...
"A TransactionTestCase resets the database after the test runs by truncating all tables. A TransactionTestCase may call commit and rollback and observe the effects of these calls on the database.
A TestCase, on the other hand, does not truncate tables after a test. Instead, it encloses the test code in a database transaction that is rolled back at the end of the test. This guarantees that the rollback at the end of the test restores the database to its initial state."
what..
Ah. Yes, I'm quite the idiot.

so im doing node.js and im developing an api backend
im generating "random" images

This shouldn't be happening. It should be only picking one element from a constant array of elements. Any idea why?const gay = [`gay1`, `gay2`];
const lesbians = [`lesbian1`, `lesbian2`];
const boobs = [`boob1`,`boob2`];
const ass = [`ass1`,`ass2`];
const pussy = [`pussy1`,`pussy2`];
const dick = [`dick1`,`dick2`];
const women = [`women1`,`women2`];
const men = [`men1`, `men2`];
const random = [gay, lesbians, boobs, ass, pussy, dick, women, men];```This is my constant arrays
its grabbing all of the elemets and inserting them

sh
its just a practice thign
im just practicing lmao
i couldnt think of anything
so
sonic birch
like
it serves the json alright
but
im just stuck on how to actually "choose" one subject
brave mantle
I mean, there isn't enough code here to really
help you
you've got some json and some arrays
and.. nothing in-between
sonic birch
const app = express();
const base_url = `http://isabaseurl.com`;
const gay = [`gay1`, `gay2`];
const lesbians = [`lesbian1`, `lesbian2`];
const boobs = [`boob1`,`boob2`];
const ass = [`ass1`,`ass2`];
const pussy = [`pussy1`,`pussy2`];
const dick = [`dick1`,`dick2`];
const women = [`women1`,`women2`];
const men = [`men1`, `men2`];
const random = [gay, lesbians, boobs, ass, pussy, dick, women, men];
app.use((request, response, next) => {
console.log(request.headers)
next()
})
app.use((request, response, next) => {

})
})
app.listen(80)```it's like a nothing sandwich
yeah that's a really odd way to do that
Why add them to the request object?
Just put them right into the json call
sonic birch
so what do you suggest then
kind steppe
because you assign to a different variable in each of your routes
putting it all into the same route
sonic birch
just basically fuck it in the same place?
response.json({
gay: `template literal?`
})```no
brave mantle
you need to do a node tutorial
kind steppe
yeah
brave mantle
sonic birch
but
brave mantle
but this is a Python server, so I don't really have one for you
brave mantle
Not really
kind steppe
I see what you are trying to do, but the request in the app.use is a different request to the one in the / route
brave mantle
the standard library is different
sonic birch
tbh i dont really care about the efficiency
just want to try to solve the goddarn picking out
random
sonic birch
It works for me. .-.
kind steppe
that makes very little sense
sonic birch
which i thought i defined.
kind steppe
no you didn't
kind steppe
var rand = myarray[Math.floor(Math.random() * myarray.length)];
when you think javascript already chose random ones for you from your previous code snippets
bc it literally did that for me
kind steppe
yes but putting random commas into a string doesn't tell javascript "hey i wanna get a random value lol"
kind steppe
no
you are going to add an array with the 8 values in.
and then add it to the base url meme
sonic birch
base url meme lmao
sonic birch
niiice to knwo im a meme
mild bridge
hmmmmm
sonic birch
for it to work, id' have to redefine a new one for each variable?
im not fully understanding
brave mantle
sonic birch
fml
kind steppe
var BLAH = ARRAYNAME[Math.floor(Math.random() * ARRAYNAME.length)];
yes but the variable is a BLAH?
@mild bridge I'm getting flashbacks of bamboozle with aperture
mild bridge
yEET
kind steppe
yet what
sonic birch
lmao
@kind steppe that code solution fixed it but broke it as well
it does get a random element but it sticks with it all the time now
;ole
like
no matter how many times i reload it
its always the same
kind steppe
show the code
sonic birch
```const gay1 = [gay1, gay2];
var gay = gay1[Math.floor(Math.random() * gay1.length)];
const leb1 = [lesbian1, lesbian2];
var lesbians = leb1[Math.floor(Math.random() * leb1.length)];
const boobs1 = [boob1,boob2];
var boobs = boobs1[Math.floor(Math.random() * boobs1.length)];
const ass1 = [ass1,ass2];
var ass = ass1[Math.floor(Math.random() * ass1.length)];

const men1 = [men1, men2];
var men = men1[Math.floor(Math.random() * men1.length)]
const random1 = [gay, lesbians, boobs, ass, pussy, dick, women, men];
var random = random1[Math.floor(Math.random() * random1.length)];```
"gay": "http://isabaseurl.com/gay/gay2.png",

"men": "http://isabaseurl.com/men/men1.png",
"random": "http://isabaseurl.com/random/women2.png"

this never changesmaybe its just grabbing like a value higher than 2
kind steppe
well that is why
you've made the variables
but you've not actually sent them back
my dude I seriously recommend a Node.js tutorial

what even is node.js?
tame viper
oh okay

Oohh I get it
@kind steppe It does update with random values; but I have to keep restarting the node.js script for it to take effect

Hello, I've installed Django onto my PC
I created an app
All of this is really complicated-sih
*ish
Is Flask easier than this?
native tide
no
it's not really easier, installing everything and making the webserver work is kinda complicated :/
especially for development
neat nest
hmm... deployment you have a point on, but in terms of the bare minimum requirements for having a functional application, most people would tend to lean towards Flask for simplicity
in lemon's words, Flask is "less opinionated" about how you do things
if you want to build it into a robust application in the manner of django you can do so, if you want to serve a barebones API for an existing project you're also free to do that
so... I'm hesitant to say it's "easier", it depends on the sense, but it's not going to demand as much from you to get going. whether that's good or bad depends on your needs and convictions
meager anchor
I think flask is a lot easier to learn, but very often when I'm looking for something in Django - for example, "create a view to edit this objects", "create a view to list all objects" - it's already there. Django comes with this batteries-included approach, and that's really nice
grand badge
flask is easier to start with
indigo holly
I really enjoy flask. Django gave me nightmares
Also,
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this View function did not return a response error?
Everything I've found suggests its an error when the return function isn't used or present. But I can't see what I'm doing wrong with this code:
@app.route('/data', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def data():
if request.method == 'POST':
if request.method == 'POST':
admin = request.form.getlist('admin')
if admin == 'root':
return admin()
else:
return render_template('AdminPass.html')
relevant HTML
<form method="POST" action="/data">
<input type="text" name="admin" placeholder="admin">
What's admin()?
indigo holly
It's another function, directly below my data() function
meager anchor
But a line above, you check if it equals a string
indigo holly
So it looks like
@app.route('/data', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def data():
....
return admin()
def admin()
hm
I don't know that much about Flask, but I don't think that this is some special thing that you can call after comparing it to a string
indigo holly
Hmm. I actually do this in the other function and it works though, lets me show you
indigo holly
Can you explain shadowing in laymans?
meager anchor
Also, ```py
if request.method == 'POST':
if request.method == 'POST':
seems a bit redundant@indigo holly your function will not respond in all cases
thats what flask doesnt like
meager anchor
def add(a, b):
return a + b
if __name__ == '__main__':
add = 5
add(3, 5) # huh?
it wont respond to a request which is a post but hasnt admin == "root"
meager anchor
gives TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
because you shadowed the add function from outer scope
strange thorn
and you have to respond to that case
just always respond tbh
if you dont have like a default return value at the bottom
every if which returns must have an else that returns
otherwise it will crash at some point
indigo holly
I see..
def data():
if request.method == 'POST':
admin = request.form.getlist('admin')
if admin == 'root':
return admin()
else:
return render_template('AdminPass.html')
else:
return render_template('AdminPass.html')
yup
indigo holly
Isn't this redundant though ๐ฆ
indigo holly
I know it's right now. I just don't like it haha ๐
strange thorn
def data():
if request.method == 'POST':
admin = request.form.getlist('admin')
if admin == 'root':
return admin()
return render_template("AdminPass.html")
Thank you for the help! This worked.
strange thorn
no problem
native tide
How did that work if it's calling a string?
meager anchor
Good question 
native tide
"If x is equal to a string which is obviously not callable, call it"
strange thorn
When did I call a string??????
meager anchor
admin = request.form.getlist('admin')
if admin == 'root':
return admin()
admin = request.form.getlist('admin')
if admin == 'root':
return 'root'()```You maybe thinking that it is working because it actually never runs and admin never equals to 'root'
def data():
if request.method == 'POST':
if request.form.getlist('admin') == 'root':
return admin()
return render_template("AdminPass.html")```This simply eliminates the shadowing admin variable so should work
I'd've maybe guessed that you had an Admin object named admin that you wrote the __eq__ and __call__ but it is not the case apparently
Soo

I have no idea how you'd do that. if I found myself wanting to do that I'd probably go seek out #django on freenode and have them tell me where I went wrong.
seems like an antipattern to me
that's a great channel btw for really hairy django stuff

I wonder if aera/andrewgodwin is there
deep cave
and a ton of exceptionally talented django devs.
brittle copper
Hmm, thanks
brave mantle
He's a django maintainer, and the origin of my old MC network
brittle copper
And this is for uhm, the context as in the user name, the index list etc.
They are mostly same in all the pages
deep cave
isn't there some sort of global context in django like in flask?
brittle copper
Like the index list exist in every singe sub page
Is there? That is what I'm trying to do
lol
God damn it SO
deep cave
in flask this is trivial, cause a global context variable comes with flask itself.
custom context processor, huh?
brittle copper
Wow, something built-in in Flask and not in Django :D
deep cave
hmm
A context processor has a very simple interface: Itโs a Python function that takes one argument, an HttpRequest object, and returns a dictionary that gets added to the template context.
that seems pretty straight forward, no?
All Django cares about is that your custom context processors are pointed to by the 'context_processors' option in your TEMPLATES setting
and then it's just handled automatically
brittle copper
Hmm
So they don't make me extract the context from the returned object but
All I need to do is to return a dictionary? ๐ค
deep cave
brittle copper
That was uhm
Way easier than what I was trying to do
I'll take it :D
Thanks :D

I'd like to create a webapp/flask that has a form users will fill out. Upon submisison they will be routed to a printable page of their data. I'd like them to be able to save a version to edit or re-upload and populate the form. What type of file would you suggest?
I don't want to store the data for the user. I was thinking of maybe giving them the option to save a JSON file or something similiar.
brittle copper
This is something can be done with js
brave mantle
Technically speaking, you don't need to store the data, but it depends what you're doing
yeah, client-side JS is one option
gleaming sable
Just looking for ideas, i'm new to python.
The goal being to replace a hand filled out form that they are currently using. I figured a webapp would be the way to go since future upgrades would be easier to distribute. There are many features that would be nice to implement including electronic submission way down the line.
brittle copper
I mean you really wouldn't want to use your server machine for simple stuff like that
You can use flask for backend
And make a js that handles the form thing
gleaming sable
@brittle copper ?
brittle copper
A question mark isn't a question
gleaming sable
@brittle copper What do you mean you wouldn't use a server for simple stuff like that?
brittle copper
If what user is doing doesn't concern you, if you don't log it, if you don't add new information to it
You wouldn't do it on the back end
Rather you'd use js
And do it in client side

roons, your bot is hooked up to a database, right?
midnight spoke
hey guys im wanting to have my bot configurable through a web interface, whats the best way of starting that?
database and yaml as settings
deep cave
ah, you're using yaml currently
okay
but
the bot, will it be on the same server as the web interface?
midnight spoke
urmmm not too sure really dude
midnight spoke
okies, mysql is fine right?
deep cave
then have the bot pull them in from the db when it boots up
midnight spoke
sqllite sorry
deep cave
any database is fine
and then
your web interface
just goes to the same table, same database
fetches all those settings
and lets you fuck with them, and saves them again.
if you want things to change live, you'd need to somehow tell the bot to reload those settings.
midnight spoke
oh yeah...
that actually had slipped my mind
is there any reading material you recommend to starting something like this?
i basically know NOTHING about webdev
deep cave
hm. well, flask would be good for this.
midnight spoke
okays ๐
deep cave
and it has plenty of useful reading material easily available.
deep cave
we use it for our website
flask could do this and still basically be a single file.
django could do this too, of course. but it would be a big project with many many files.
for that reason alone I'd recommend flask for this.
midnight spoke
gotcha
deep cave
perhaps you should start by just doing a flask hello world
their official quick start guide isn't bad
and feel free to lean on us. we got lots of flaskers in here
meager anchor
wouldnโt using flask as a web interface for a bot be blocking though?
or would you run them separately?
deep cave
yeah of course, seperately.
meager anchor
ah
deep cave
@midnight spoke
but the basic idea is - you'll make a jinja template file (kind of like a normal html page but with certain special tags that allow you to write some python-esque code on the page). in this file you'll loop through some a dictionary with all the config settings and display a field for each configurable, pre-filled with its current value. At the bottom there'll be a submit button.
Then you'll have the flask file itself, which when you load the page in your browser, will contact the database, get all the configurables, and then pack them into a dictionary which it will spit out together with that template.
lastly the flask file will also respond when you do a POST request (so when you hit the submit button on that page), and then it will take all the changed configs and spit them back into the database.
it's as simple as that
then once you have that working, you can figure out how to have it restart the bot automatically and fancy stuff like that
it'll probably involve websockets.
but don't worry about that yet.
brittle copper
Does the bot need restarting tho
deep cave
probably not, you could just update the relevant variables on the fly instead if the configurables are hot-seatable.
brittle copper
Yeah that sounds better tbh
deep cave
depends on whether he's configuring stuff like, uh, the bot token
but yeah for most config you probably wouldn't need a restart.
deep cave
knowing you, you'll have it figured out in a week
midnight spoke
lol probably not, but i'll give it a good go!
us beginnners are not that fast ๐
deep cave
this guide looks relatively inoffensive
but please put style in a .css file, not in <style> tags
or I will hunt you down
midnight spoke
๐ yessir!!
brittle copper
I mean for something simple like this I'd use a prewritten template :3
Of course you would. -Lemon
brittle copper
lol :D
deep cave
midnight spoke
i like to learn though
deep cave
writing a template and styling it is a great opportunity to learn some jinja and css
brittle copper
Learn html and css?
midnight spoke
and web pages confuse me ๐
deep cave
and those are wonderful tools
css is one of my favorite things, and I'll be only too glad to help you with it if you get stuck.
midnight spoke
thanks buddy
i need to make the bot write everything to sql instead of yaml and write some nice wrapper functions
midnight spoke
i think courier is on about 13 servers now
deep cave
cool!
midnight spoke
i do have a database i store quotes and league and battlenet data in there
deep cave
yes. what kind is that again?
midnight spoke
sqllite
deep cave
oh
you know
when I said "I thought you had a database"
I meant that I thought you had a real database
deep cave
mkay
yeah well for something like this sqllite is fine
even the yaml file would have been okay, tbh
I mean - you could just load that into your flask as well
midnight spoke
true dat
deep cave
I assume you already have pyyaml so that might be the easiest solution - and then you maintain the local configurability
midnight spoke
i do have pyyaml yup
deep cave
no extra dependencies either then if they're in the same environment
fuck sqllite then, just keep it in yaml and rewrite the yaml file
deep cave
that's not nothing
but yeah I would just do that then
and then
this is the cool bit
you could just update the yaml if you need a new setting
and the website would just dynamically change
midnight spoke
Sexah
deep cave
do you run your bot with a supervisor?
midnight spoke
i sure do my friend
deep cave
then a super easy solution would be
have the website restart the service
you don't even need to communicate between the two
deep cave
the flask script can just do supervisorctl restart bot
yeah you can probably do better
it just might be a lot more code for no real benefit
midnight spoke
the real benefit is, no bot restart, and no downtime
deep cave
I guess ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
midnight spoke
and the bot is in charge of a discord server which it assigns roles
which they have to agree to welcome text
it has about 800 members so far?
deep cave
well then you might do something like making the bot watch the yaml for changes and reload its config when the file updates. or you might send the bot a message via something like rabbitmq to let it know what to update.
midnight spoke
and besides, reloading the config is sexier!

so i have an EXTREMELY basic flask app running, however the stylesheet doesnt seem to be working?
so this is test.html
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block body %}
<div class="block1">
<h1>Hello {{name}}!</h1>
<h2>Here is an interesting quote for you: </h2>
<p>
{{quote}}
</p>
<img src="http://www.naturalprogramming.com/images/smilingpython.gif">
</div>
{% endblock %}
This is layout.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Website</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>
<body>
{% block body %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
and this is the stylesheet
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Amatic+SC:700);
body{
text-align: center;
}
h1{
font-family: 'Amatic SC', cursive;
font-weight: normal;
color: #8ac640;
font-size: 2.5em;
}
flask wants you to import static files with some special url_for jinja syntax.
including the stylesheet
so put the stylesheet in a folder called static
and see how they import it here

hey guys, nice to meet you all! I'm in the process of learning django to build a recipe website for fun
I wanted to double check whether my current thought process towards the website was correct:
-
Since my edit recipe page requires some jquery/ajax my logic was that I would build a rest api for the jquery
-
At that point I figured it may be good practice to decouple the front end as well.
-
Since i'd be using that instead of MVC, I wouldn't be using ModelForms and instead would just be using HTML forms

if you don't use the built-in forms, you'll need to handle validation yourself
If you want to customize the form's styling, you can always use something such as https://github.com/jazzband/django-widget-tweaks

that looks a bit funky and also a bit fresh.
@grand badge I hope you fixed it with flexbox.

So ive had a thought, if i people to change the settings on the bot, then they have to log into the website with discord so they only change their details. How would i even go about doing that?

uhm, wats flexbox @deep cave ?

it's the solution to that problem in 2018
but I'm guessing you used floats instead
