@midnight timber thank you.

midnight timber Mar 27, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

it's for a rest framework

#

but it introduces the concepts really well

weak hazel Mar 27, 2019, 10:56 AM

#

Definitely will try it.@midnight timber

#

Are there any important prerequisites from Python I must be strong with? For django?

midnight timber Mar 27, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

classes, inheritance, uhh, decorators? just OOP stuff really

weak hazel Mar 27, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

@midnight timber ok

midnight timber Mar 27, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

Django is "python"

#

it's very abstracted

#

it's better to think of it as an API that is written in python

#

and you interact with it via python

#

but you're actually learning Django's classes etc

@quaint ledge that tutorial is from 6 years ago

#

and even 6 years ago some of this was not a good practice

#

oh holy crap

#

using apache

#

yeah im sorry but virtually every aspect of this tutorial is not how things are done now

#

:/

#

the internet is great and terrible

#

you dont want to use apache, you dont want to be doing everything as sudo, you definitely dont want to be hard coding secret keys into the code

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 11:46 AM

idk what to do, my code isnt working either, im taking a break rn

@quaint ledge you are asking the wrong question

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:38 PM

hm what should i be asking

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

Install nginx on Ubuntu, install gunicorn into your python venv

#

Use the gunicorn docs to learn how to run the app with gunicorn

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

what

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

And then the gunicorn docs have a snippet for how to use it with nginx

#

I’ll find something straightforward to point you at when I’m at work

#

But the gunicorn docs are pretty solid for that

#

Other than that you’ll need to uninstall whatever Apache garbage because it’s probably currently using the same ports nginx will try to

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

alright, its relatively late for me so im probably going to be going to bed soon

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

Will help in a bit when I can but worse comes to worse, look for a tutorial that specifically is using nginx and gunicorn on Ubuntu that has been written in the last 3-4 years

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:42 PM

ill try and see if i can get the vps wiped and start from a fresh plate tomorrow

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:42 PM

Don’t try to find anything specific to them

This might be getting into more esoteric debates but I have always preferred gunicorn

#

But

#

This looks far better still and should work

#

Shame they don’t clean up their own articles and such

#

Not sure even 6 years ago it was a good practice to everything with Sudo and to hard code your secret key in a python file you commit......

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

i think these articles are community posted

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

They source them

#

It’s how they got huge originally

#

They nabbed every tutorial

#

So that they’d come up in search results

#

And it worked very well

#

Anyways I’ll check that tutorial a bit later but is likely to be monumentally better

#

(If you’re remembering the other day when I was pushing a lot for more minimalist stuff like heroku... case in point haha)

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:49 PM

ill check it out tomorrow

yea i see that now :o

but i feel closer every step

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:50 PM

Yup and once you have it you have it

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:52 PM

should i be editing my files directly in the vps? ive just been using sftp to transfer the files i already made

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

It becomes a 5 minute thing you could do in your sleep in future projects. Assuming you don’t just have it automated and don’t have to do it at all

#

Umm

#

Do you not use git

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

i didnt think it was really worth the setup

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:53 PM

#

Yeah that won’t be true for long

#

Either way

#

You can do whichever. Edit remotely or copy them, whatever is less annoying

#

Do not move the venv

#

Or any of the pyc / __pycache__ crap Python may spit out when you run it locally

#

Just copy your python files and recreate the venv in the server though I think you were already doing that

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

yea i am

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

I never put anything on a server until it works perfectly locally

#

Okay cool

quaint ledge Mar 27, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

im going to clear the server tomorrow though because the installs and everything is a mess

junior cloak Mar 27, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

Haha yeah

#

I trash vms probably... 30-40 times a day

#

When you have one that works you can snapshot it

#

And then make new instances of it for new projects etc

Hi. I've run into the realization that the thing I'm writing currently is best communicated with via a REST-like interface. I know it's possible to use Flask and Django and such to write those, and I've seen other things like FastAPI and Eve.
However, since my app is likely to just be local and ephemeral... I don't think I need the overhead of a full web app. Am I overthinking? Is the overhead not really that big?

opal leaf Mar 27, 2019, 7:33 PM

if your app is totally local why do you feel you should use a rest like interface?

Asking good questions will yield a much higher chance of a quick response:

• Don't ask to ask your question, just go ahead and tell us your problem.
• Try to solve the problem on your own first, we're not going to write code for you.
• Show us the code you've tried and any errors or unexpected results it's giving
• Keep your patience while we're helping you.

You can find a much more detailed explanation on our website.

Hi Everyone, I have what I hope is a simple, general question. I'm writing a web app using flask, and I already have Redis implemented for some simple storage. Is it possible/a secure idea to use Redis with Flask-Login?

#

@shy cradle why do you have your code as '.static' (why the . )?

#

I have a flask + angular app and my url_for function is just url_for('static', filename='path/to/file')

lofty sleet Mar 29, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

Have you tried removing the period before static?

#

Static Files

Dynamic web applications also need static files. That’s usually where the CSS and JavaScript files are coming from. Ideally your web server is configured to serve them for you, but during development Flask can do that as well. Just create a folder called static in your package or next to your module and it will be available at /static on the application.

To generate URLs for static files, use the special 'static' endpoint name:

url_for('static', filename='style.css')

The file has to be stored on the filesystem as static/style.css.

#

Thats from the flask quickstart page

#

http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/1.0/quickstart/#url-building

#

But I think that you can have subdirectories in the static directory still

shy cradle Mar 29, 2019, 3:09 PM

ok, I moved the static folder up into the app folder and it appears to be working now or at least loading. Now to figure out how to do css properly.

Hello,

I have created a dungeon generator in python that currently runs as a bot in discord (25s video showcasing it https://dungeonchannel.com/dungeons/other/DunGen_1.mp4). I would like to translate that to web, but honestly feel overwhelmed with the amount of information. I would like a single page app with a form (args) that would run the python script which would return an image to show. Basically something similar to this: https://donjon.bin.sh/fantasy/dungeon/ (clicking "random", as it'd be all in the same page) but modern-looking.

What would be the easiest way of achieving that?

From what I understand I would need to use something like Flask or Django to run the script, and React, Angular, Vue or similar to create the website. It feels like there would be a LOT to learn and I'd end up applying a minimal amount of that information to actually make this work. Are there any tutorials that focus on bringing something quickly to web that might help, or perhaps a sort of template I could use or follow?

Thank you!

I'm creating sections dynamically using an array passed into my Jinja2 templates.

I'm looping through this array using a for loop, and I would like to pass in some variables into a template and include it. Something like this:

{# inside 'sections.html' #}

{% for section in section_data %}
    
    {% block title scoped %}{{ section.title }}{% endblock %}
    {% block content scoped %}{{ section.content }}{% endblock %}
    
    {% include 'section.html' %}
    
{% endfor %}

{# inside 'section.html' #}

<h2>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</h2>
<div>
    {% block content %}{% endblock %}
</div>

In this code, however, the blocks aren't picked up by the include. I've looked through the Jinja2 documentation and on Google and I can't find anything to pass in blocks like this.

Thanks.

Hey all,
Does anyone know if Flask cashes POST requests by default?
If I click a button a few times on my frontend, the chrome console looks like this:

📎 Screen_Shot_2019-03-31_at_19.02.06.png

#

I dont think its a JS issue

#

As the requests are making it to the server

#

and it being processed

kindred cosmos Mar 31, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

POST requests should never be cached

rapid aspen Mar 31, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

Im just wondering why every other request seems to finish much faster

kindred cosmos Mar 31, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

POST requests usally require some amount of processing time

#

This might mean your code is inefficient

rapid aspen Mar 31, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

Well I mean

#

The code on the server is trivial

kindred cosmos Mar 31, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

Trivial doesn't mean it will proccess fast

rapid aspen Mar 31, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

@app.route("/test", methods=["POST"])
def test():
    print("Request received")
    return ""

kindred cosmos Mar 31, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

Printing is slow

rapid aspen Mar 31, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

My question was more about why some requests seem to finish instantly when others seems to take 300ms+

#

Not that the code is running slow

#

😃

kindred cosmos Mar 31, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

It depeneds on the code

rapid aspen Mar 31, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

On the flask side or JS side?

kindred cosmos Mar 31, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

I don't have enough infomation to anwser that question

rapid aspen Mar 31, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

Well essentially, I have a button on my frontend which calls some JS which sends a post to the endpoint above

#

Every other click seems to finish stupidly fast for some reason

#

Almost as if something is being cached somewhere

#

Hope this makes sense

kindred cosmos Mar 31, 2019, 6:09 PM

#

It depends on the code

#

It's normal for GET requests to be cached

#

To be cached by the browser

rapid aspen Mar 31, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

This is a POST, as defined in the JS as $.post()

#

This may be the wrong place to ask as it may be nothing to do with flask and have something to do with the browser instead

kindred cosmos Mar 31, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

No I think this would be a fine place to ask

#

The issue is you aren't providing a lot of infomation to what's exactly is slow

#

I don't know what is slow

rapid aspen Mar 31, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

The issue isnt that something is slow

#

Im just wondering why some requests finish in 2ms

#

every other request*

kindred cosmos Mar 31, 2019, 6:15 PM

Someone would have to look at the code to anwser that question

I couldn't tell you

SQL Injection attacks and Cross -Site Scripting attacks are the two most common attacks on web application. Develop a new policy based Proxy Agent, which classifies the request as a scripted request or query based request, and then, detects the respective type of attack, if any in the request. It should detect both SQL injection attack as well as the Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

looking for ideas about how to mock server to server requests from a python web app to a remote service in development. My initial idea was to conditionally import requests_mock in dev so that the requets never leave the container and return data based on logic in those mocked routes

I'm fairly keen on some approach that is similar to what is done in frontend development where angular request mocking occurs and axios mocking is done so frontends don't have to wait around for backends to finish creating the api.

Hoe i make a website

#

How

midnight timber Apr 2, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

@native tide lead with the question

#

@glacial quartz if all you need is a simple webserver for an API, and you know flask, you have enough to roll with, you don't need nginx to run a flask app

#

@native tide you can start by hosting a hello world html using the http.server library in python 3

#

OH, @native tide is this the question from yesterday? (I just scrolled up)

Have you defined your groups properly? If you have the definition of your user journeys set out then it should be clear which is the solution you're looking for

#

If you have groups all sharing the same access-level, like members of a team all looking at the same assets, then the former

#

If "used by groups of people" is just a phrase you used, and they all need unique permissions, then it's the latter

native tide Apr 2, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

@midnight timber : This too. I was looking for how create groups and sets permissions.
The permissions i can give with rest framework with the permissions.<permission> but i don't know how configure and create groups.
I not see anything in rest framework for this, so i guess i will have to create it with Django.
But im still lost. (Sorry bad english)

Best or easiest? @thorn vapor? There are lots of very simple ways (Heroku) but they can get expensive.

There are other very palatable options, depending on how SysAdminny you want to get.

tardy pasture Apr 2, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

Heroku is probably the simplest.

#

But it may incur costs. It's been a while since I moved away from using Heroku, but they do constantly improve.

#

You could also just get a Linode and host there.

#

Nanode from Linode is $5 / mo. and works for a lot of personal projects.

#

Here's pricing for Heroku: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/usage-and-billing

How Heroku calculates billing.

#

If you can stay at the free level it's, well, free.

#

So that's nice.

#

Good option for beginners with personal projects.

thorn vapor Apr 2, 2019, 5:40 PM

#

more specifically,

I have written a Python script on my Mac to help me track what I work on. The script writes the information to a publicly accessible spreadsheet.
I converted the spreadsheet to a sqlite db via csv
I have created a Flask app that is connected to this new db and it displays the info in html

Continuing on in my learning I need to figure out how to:

I want to host this website somewhere publicly accessible
I want my Python script to start writing to this database which is connected to the hosted Flask app instead of the spreadsheet

Based on this:

What do you think is the best hosting option for me to explore? Everything I have done so far in my learning has been local

tardy pasture Apr 2, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

Heroku sounds like it would work for you

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/contrib/auth/#django.contrib.auth.models.Group

#

is the documentation

#

it does exactly what you say you want

#

I'm guessing your serializer would add the member to the group in the rest_framework

What are examples of things you can do with Django that you can't do with Flask

glacial quartz Apr 3, 2019, 11:52 AM

i think evrything you can do with django you can do with flask

#

you can cut a tree with small axe or you can cut a tree with big axe, depedns on size of tree you cuting 😃

native tide Apr 3, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

@midnight timber : Who add the member to the group is Django. Rest framework doesn't have management of groups, as far as i know.

#

The problem is how i will make the groups have the correct permissions

duno in django but in flask i use jwt

native tide Apr 3, 2019, 12:58 PM

#

@glacial quartz WHAT

glacial quartz Apr 3, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

@native tide https://jwt.io/

JWT.IO

JSON Web Tokens are an open, industry standard RFC 7519 method for representing claims securely between two parties.

native tide Apr 3, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

@glacial quartz : so what

glacial quartz Apr 3, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

you can put in jwt clames/premissions

#

so user auths and you give him jwt with id="44" , rights="admin"

#

example

#

and when he sends request you know he is admin

Hi i need a book for web-dev i know only basic python.

duno what you trying to make but flask is an easy start

coarse heath Apr 3, 2019, 2:20 PM

im trying to learn with tutorials on the net they are not explaining well so i dont understand so i thought if ill learn from a good book it will cover the most well

from flask import Flask, request

APP = Flask(__name__)

here simplest flask app, you can expand your knowlage form here i guess

shrewd bluff Apr 3, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

how is he going to expand based on some random snippet? come on

glacial quartz Apr 3, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

hmm cuz he builds what he wants from here

#

duno i learn all stuff by needing doing it not by reading books

shrewd bluff Apr 3, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

@coarse heath the tutorials that come with Flask or Django on their websites are both a good start

#

@glacial quartz that's just stupid, posting 5 lines to someone not done web dev before and saying "there you go, easy!"

#

at least point him to some existing tutorial

glacial quartz Apr 3, 2019, 2:25 PM

#

i think he allreayd knows how to google

#

i was just pointing out that flask in simplest form is a 5line code and probbaly easyer to get basics using it then going django

shrewd bluff Apr 3, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

we probably just misunderstood each other. Flask is a good thing to start with, agreed

#

(as is Django 😄 )

native tide Apr 3, 2019, 2:39 PM

Rest already have a permissions conf

i don't need use anything else

ashen anchor Apr 3, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Hi guys, Django question. I basically want to calculate the values of various products, but as each product type has a slightly calculation method and has different values used to compute it my current process is this. A selection form where the user selects the product type and an an attribute. The attribute is used to then narrow down rows in a database to provide further options for the customer to use for each calculation method - though the attribute is generally universal across all the calculation methods. Then depending on this initial selection it routes to specific views/templates designed for each calculation method (which includes a form)

#

I need to pass the attribute to each calculation method view

#

My problem is a) what's the best way to pass this data? b)is my whole workflow/process flawed

#

Hopefully that makes sense, I've been thinking about it for too long

tardy pasture Apr 3, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

@thorn vapor sorry I've been in meetings for hours. Glad you got it sorted!

#

@ashen anchor I'm not sure I'm following your workflow with products

thorn vapor Apr 3, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

@tardy pasture just figured out how to deploy something... was painful (for me) stuff wasn't workign as I tried to deploy an application I built yesterday. I made a very quick one today that returns some basic html to try it from scratch and got that to deploy.. a start

ashen anchor Apr 3, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

Alternatively, I can have one view which renders different forms based on the initial selection and then based on these calls different methods to be used for rendering the results

#

But I'm unsure on how to separate various post requests from eachother?

#

@tardy pasture Haha, okay I can see why you wouldn't, let me give an example

#

So, let's assume I sell paper rolls, paper sheets and paper bags. I want to know the weight of them per 1000 (whether that be 1000m, or 1000 sheets, 1000 bags). For a roll of paper I need the meterage and the width. For a sheet of paper I require the width and length of the sheet. For a bag I need the width and length of the bag. Now, there's not just one paper type, there's lots of different types each of which have different densities

#

So I have a model in the database with Material Type, Material Thickness and the Material Density

#

So what I mean is, firstly need to know which product type so I can know which fields to ask from the user, the available thicknesses for selection must then only be ones available in the database where the product type matches

#

Then finally I must get the density data, and perform a specific calculation before displaying the result to the user

#

Does that help clear it up a bit?

#

I'm basically thinking, store the product type and material type selection in the session or pass it in via url to the different calculation views

My website is ugly - any tips on learning how to make it better looking?

fathom prism Apr 4, 2019, 3:20 AM

#

Find websites you find pleasing and try to copy their template. Great way to learn styling

#

Through this process, you'll develop your own style. After all, every designer has someone or something they have been influenced by

#

Or, just stick with a template library (e.g. Google Materials, or Bootstrap)

native tide Apr 4, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

Ok so I don't know what to do in this situation. Let me explain my problem:

So I'm currently using Python's Flask to open up a localhost server. This server is constantly updated with new information.

So now keep that in mind. I've made a site that allows users to watch for specific words (keywords I call them) in the server. Basically when a user hits the "Run" button on the site it starts all the tasks (which check the flask server for the specific keywords that the user put in). When a user clicks the Stop Task button, I need to stop the tasks (and stop watching the server)

So this is what I'm confused about:
What method should I use to access the server? Should I keep POSTing/GETing to the server with all the information that the user submitted (the keywords and stuff) or should I only do one POST/GET and do all the waiting/processing server sided?

Multiple people will be accessing the site at the same time

fathom prism Apr 4, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

Dom, have you looked into websockets for real time updates?

native tide Apr 4, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

No not really

#

What is that?

fathom prism Apr 4, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

Think of it like keeping a connection always open

#

I recommend reading up on it

native tide Apr 4, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

I'll explain my whole scenario and then can you let me know if websockets would be helpful

#

So basically I'm using a discord bot to read messages and break it up. I then post it to my server

#

Then I have the whole thing that I explained in the text above

fathom prism Apr 4, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

Gotcha. Maybe look into a messaging queue (e.g. celery or rq)

#

Well, actually might need both. so the websockets would be helpful for the "watching"

#

the queue would be if the discord bot takes awhile to process data (might not need it)

#

When a user hits "run" (open a websocket connection). When a user clicks stop (close the connection)

#

The "task running" part might be tricky depending on what you're trying to achieve

#

Since there's considerations of multiple threads , processes

#

That area is where celery/rq may help

native tide Apr 4, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

👌

fathom prism Apr 4, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

Hope that helps a bit. Its a lot of jargon if you're completely new to all of this

#

But it sounds like a very cool project, so good luck!

fathom prism Apr 4, 2019, 4:56 AM

Rule of thumb is to never have any secure data in cookies. so in other words, fake away.

@fathom prism So Websockets is because a very long HTTP request right?

#

Would it be problematic if I have hundreds of users connecting and starting tasks on the site (aka connecting to the Flask server with hundreds of web socket connections? )

#

Also I'm going to be using herokuapp to host the flask server. Would that cause problems?

@neat cape what did you think of that course overall/honest opinion?

neat cape Apr 4, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

@upbeat egret I personally liked it, he talks about almost everything you need to know.
Mostly local tho so you won't really get into how to do it on a server but with a little bit of implementation that should be fine.
First you'll get a crash course about HTML and CSS, then he'll teach you the basics of python (functions, modules, syntax etc.)
After that he briefly explains how to setup your own virtual environments, basic routes, flask dynamic routing etc.
After that he teaches you the more advanced things like creating forms with flask/python, REST API's, SQL databases, OAuth and processing payments.
It also features a project where you create a social company blog.
I really enjoyed it personally and learned alot.
His voice is also not annoying to listen to and he speak very clearly

• Don't ask to ask your question, just go ahead and tell us your problem.
• Try to solve the problem on your own first, we're not going to write code for you.
• Show us the code you've tried and any errors or unexpected results it's giving
• Keep your patience while we're helping you.

hello fellas, im looking for some help with django REST framework, im playing around with filters using django-filters
Im having a problem though with returning more fields than the defualt fields in a get request. for example, replicating what this does in the python shell:

Product.objects.all().values('name',  'brand__name',)

kindred cosmos Apr 5, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

@hexed linden before the return add print(id)

#

For some reason the str is a b"5"

#

I think something else in your stack is messed up

hexed linden Apr 5, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

yeah, @kindred cosmos it prints b"5".

#

I also ran print(type(id)) and it returned str

#

do you need me to disclose the full source or something?

#

wouldn't be a big deal for me to do

kindred cosmos Apr 5, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

Unfortunately I don't enough about flask to do anything about it

#

It looks like some where in your stack you are using str() where you need to be using .decode()

#

That's my best guess

#

How are you setting up your cookies?

native tide Apr 5, 2019, 3:07 PM

#

I'm back

#

and I'm officially confused

#

So I decided I need to use websockets

#

but I have no idea how to integrate that into my Flask server

#

What module should i use

#

etc etc

hexed linden Apr 5, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

@kindred cosmos wdym? and rip 😿

unborn terrace Apr 5, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

@hexed linden it looks like you called str on a bytes object instead of decode, that you should not do:

>>> str(b"foo")
"b'foo'"

hexed linden Apr 5, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

it said that .decode() couldn't be ran

#

no?

unborn terrace Apr 5, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

@hexed linden because you have converted your bytes to str before, but using str

#

like in my example

I was referenced over here from the help section. With this code in python I get a  StaleElementReferenceException after already having run similar code just prior. I understand the issue but every "fix" I have found on stackoverflow does not seem to work. I have tried loops with try/except.

Anyone familiar with selenium? Trying to automate a webpage and I get StaleElementExceptions that really do not make sense to me.

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, 'path').click() ```

^^^This works with no issues after reloading the page.

```Python
AC.move_to_element(driver.find_element(By.XPATH, 'path')).click()
AC.perform()```

The above causes a StaleElementReferenceException. No idea why one works but the other does not. I would just use the first one but the link I need is 75 pixels left of the only element I could find to specifically identify the link. (no offset currently for troubleshooting purposes)

The code works the first time around but when I reload the page it will do the Stale Element Exception. I just have no idea why one method can find the element after a reload while the other one freaks out.

Yo there's definitely a chance I have something set up wrong, but when reviewing my logs, I see that Django Rest Framework is checking permissions for my view sets multiple times per request. Is that normal behavior? Because one of my permissions hits another API, and hitting it more than 1/s rate limits me (and is just inconsiderate of their API).

is it it possible?

its a like button feature

kindred cosmos Apr 6, 2019, 5:06 PM

@rough magnet Are you using nginx or apache?

#

neither

#

i haven't uploaded it

#

@kindred cosmos

kindred cosmos Apr 6, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

Sorry

#

You can easily make a recursive function

#

You create your function then it would be called by your view

#

# imports and whatever

def recursive(index):
    if index == 0:
        return 6
    return recursive(index -1) + 6

@app.route('/do')
def do(view):
    a = recurvise(10)
    return a

#

It would look something like that

rough magnet Apr 6, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

@posts.route('/like/int:post_id/<action>')
@login_required
def like_action(post_id, action):
post = Post.query.filter_by(id=post_id).first_or_404()
if action == 'like':
current_user.like_post(post)
db.session.commit()
if action == 'unlike':
current_user.unlike_post(post)
db.session.commit()
return redirect(request.referrer)

#

this is what i have

#

@kindred cosmos

kindred cosmos Apr 6, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

Use "```" at start and end for your code

#

It makes it easier to look at

#

Which function is your recursive function?

rough magnet Apr 6, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

i don't know where to start that's the problem @kindred cosmos

#

i havent used these type of algorithms before

kindred cosmos Apr 6, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

You're better off reading up on recursive functions then trying to use one if you never have you used them before

#

but it was with help with a book

#

In the sisutation a google search is better than anything I can do for you at this moment

Both flask and django could do both

It just depends what tool you want to do it

Hey guys, I have a dilemma , potentially

#

So I run a LAMP server right now with domain working

#

Site has no content though

#

However I am super comfortable with flask

#

Also I need to make an api, using flask and sql alchemy, this is super easy

#

Would it be wrong to run flask under one domain for the API and another domain(website content) with Apache (LAMP)

#

Same machine, it has good specs

opal leaf Apr 7, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

itll be easier on the end user if you use a reverse proxy instead

#

also means you wont need multiple/wildcard ssl certs

calm garnet Apr 7, 2019, 2:08 AM

#

Honestly not sure about using reverse proxy?

opal leaf Apr 7, 2019, 2:08 AM

#

lets you map specific paths on a server to a whole other server

calm garnet Apr 7, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

Ahh, ok

opal leaf Apr 7, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

eg /static requests could all be forwarded to another server

calm garnet Apr 7, 2019, 2:09 AM

Aka flask

opal leaf Apr 7, 2019, 2:09 AM

ye

calm garnet Apr 7, 2019, 2:09 AM

Would I configure that through my domain carrier?

on apache

calm garnet Apr 7, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

Ohh ok

opal leaf Apr 7, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

on the main domain

#

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/reverse_proxy.html has a little bit of info

calm garnet Apr 7, 2019, 2:10 AM

Thank you

Hey so with reverse proxy, I think I do understand it. However I still have a question. So right now I have example.com with Apache working on domain... I’m creating API server with flask to access my DB information, so I would set the reverse proxy to example.com/api correct?

#

So example.com would still bring my content site up and I would use example.com/api as my api address to send get requests to flask

native tide Apr 7, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

Hey
Someone here recommended me to use Websockets. The reason for this is because I need to keep checking my Flask server for new information that is put in. So how would that work? Would I keep polling for data and the requests show up in the network tab? Or is it different?

night glen Apr 7, 2019, 10:24 AM

opal leaf Apr 8, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

you can use async stuff to push your hashing in to a different thread/process and then resume after its finished
generally by using a ProcessPoolExecutor, loop.run_in_executor and await asyncio.gather

#

however starting up a task in a process has a lot of overhead so it may not actually have any performance benefits for short, occasional tasks

Hi guys, does anyone know the proper way to multiprocess a flask app along side another function? My flask app accepts data through the web front end (via HTTP POST), puts it in a variable, and then a separate function is going to read from that variable and execute some other chain of events.

#

from flask import Flask
from multiprocessing import Process
from time import sleep

app = Flask(__name__)

queue = []


def queue_director(queue):
    print("Starting queue_director")
    while True:
        num_pending_items = len(queue)
        print("There are {} pending items in the queue".format(num_pending_items))
        if num_pending_items > 0:
            # launch another function to do 'stuff' based on each item in the queue until all items in the queue have been acted upon
        sleep(5)

@app.route('/vlanchange/<vlan>/<speed>')

def accept_request(vlan, speed):
    global queue
    print("Received request: VLAN {0} to {1} Mbps".format(vlan, speed))
    queue.append([vlan, speed])
    print("queue is: {}".format(queue))

    return 'Request to change VLAN {0} to {1} Mbps received\n'.format(vlan, speed)


if __name__ == '__main__':

    try:
        Process(target = app.run(debug=True)).start()
        Process(target = queue_director(queue)).start()
    
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("\nExiting by user request...\n")
        quit()

#

The Process module is not starting both items in the try block. It starts the Flask app, and the only way to have it start my function queue_director is to Ctrl C out of Flask.

#

This is my first Flask app ever, so I don't even know if this is the best way to receive data from a client. A client will send a http post via cURL like so:
curl 127.0.0.1:5000/vlanchange/100/30
And the only thing I'm interested in is the <vlan> and <speed> variables. If you have any suggestions on a better way to accept data like this from a client, I'm all ears!

torpid terrace Apr 8, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

Am I unclear on what Flask can do? From what I'm seeing from various answers on Stack Overflow, it seems that Flask is for simple question/answer relationships between a client and a server. I am essentially trying to use Flask so it is the trigger for a larger program that will make configuration changes in my network.

but unless you've created an item in an API or it just a web page, 200 is the better response code

@torpid terrace didn't use it for years, but I think for shared session you need to change worker type to Threaded, or open/close connection per worker

i'm struggling to figure this out we are using flask and my scrum master wants me to send data to a flask form but the data is independent of user input. Any links or ideas?

hollow flower Apr 10, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

Has anyone here used Enom API?

opal leaf Apr 10, 2019, 6:24 PM

#

@torpid terrace i dont know if you ever got an answer to this, but you are on the right track. you dont need to create a new process for flask, you can let it use your main process
however you should switch your queue over to the type provided by multiprocessing, a regular list isnt really safe for interprocess use.

#

you can have your queue_director block instead of using sleep as well. it will unblock and continue running once some other process puts data in to the queue

#

oh woops i just saw that you were suggested to use some other tech, my bad

#

i need to pass 2 variables from javascript to a flask form, any ideas?

opal leaf Apr 10, 2019, 7:54 PM

#

you can make a hidden field that you use to store that data, just set it before its actually submitted

#

<input type="hidden">

quick spruce Apr 10, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

@opal leaf how would i connect that to multiple options

#

im searching for books based on a keywork than i need to select a book and pass 2 variables conencted to it

opal leaf Apr 10, 2019, 8:03 PM

#

i dont know javascript well enough to say the exact functions off the top of my head, but if you name the input then you can access it via the dom or jquery or whatever and set its value
for two variables, just have two hidden inputs with different names

#

the name/id will be the same thing that shows up on flask just like your regular inputs

Hey there, I have the following class:

class FollowForm(FlaskForm):
    user = IntegerField()
    follower = IntegerField()
    submit = SubmitField("Follow")

and index.html:

<form method="POST" action="">
    <div class="form-group">
        {{ form.submit(class="btn btn-outline-info") }}
    </div>
</form>

How can I auto input data so that I can send data without user inputing? Lets say I already have variables with values "user" and "follower" ready on the template.

still briar Apr 10, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

user = IntegerField(default=123) ?

#

Haven't used Flask forms, but this might do the trick.

limber hemlock Apr 10, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

I want to send data from the form that is in html.

#

maybe something like "form.user = user"

still briar Apr 10, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

You want to call a server side function without the submit?

limber hemlock Apr 10, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

form.submit() is already there.

shrewd sand Apr 10, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

Can you not define the action part to trigger something?

#

Or is that just a php thing?

limber hemlock Apr 10, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

This is my flask code:

@follow.route("/", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def follow():
    form = FollowForm()
    if form.is_submitted():
        user = form.user.data
        follower = form.user.data
        pass
    return render_template("index.html")

#

idk how to put form.user.data from html

#

without rendering fields user/follower in index.html

shrewd sand Apr 10, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

I think you can get action to trigger that route

#

2 secs

limber hemlock Apr 10, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

The reason why I want it like this is because I already have every information I need and do not need any input from the user.

you have to do the following:

    <div class="form-group">
        {{ form.user(value=comment.author.id, type="hidden") }}
        {{ form.follower(value=current_user.id, type="hidden")}}

hi there, I got a bit of a dilemma and I'm not sure how to go around it. I have a bootstrap modal form on my homepage for both login and registering. obviously this becomes a bit problematic with flask as i cant seem to find any way of differentiating between them two. i tried printing out my email field (this only shows in registration) in a try except statement however this still produced a error 400 for the user, so this is not a viable option for me. in terms of printing out error messages, ive already set up message flashing so i should be alright. hope you can help, thanks 😄

well, I was wondering if POST2 is possible, lmfaooo. sounds dumb as fuck tbh

yep no never mind

I'm gonna split up my login and register instead.

when working with aiohttp do i have to wrap evry function with async/await, i have some just pure logic functions that dont think take 0.0001sec

#

and anyone have an example of aiohttp with Gino ?

timid arrow Apr 12, 2019, 3:03 PM

#

so, there is a simple rule if you function needs to use await then it should be async itself

#

there is no benefit in wrapping a pure function into async

#

e.g you can do something like that


async def fetch_numbers(...):
    return await some_http_call()

def sum(a,b):
    return a + b

async def main():
   a,b = await fetch_numbers()
   return sum(a,b)

loop = get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main)

#

so as long as your function is not a blocking function you can easily mix it with async functions

glacial quartz Apr 12, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

thats what i thinked too jsut wanted somone to confirm 😃 , now only thing left is to figure out what to do for DB if using aiohttp, i head flask app that runed np but cant figure out how to run this gino thingy am thinking of just doing pure SQL with asyncpg or something, i cant figure out they all put examples with main() and connect, i thinked my app should not dissconect connect evry times it needs request or am i worng?

@native tide flask starts to search for folders inside the same directory

#

-somefolder
    -app.py
    -public```

#

So it should be like this

#

If it is like this any you still get the error

#

I probably need to take a look at the whole project

lost saddle Apr 12, 2019, 7:21 PM

What is the url generated for your statics? @native tide

lost saddle Apr 12, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

style-attibute: myvalue !important

#

P sure important inside template can't be overridden by stylesheet

#

Don't know that much css

#

But I think you wrote them per tag and class

#

It would be ridiculous to write a case for a div tag and have every item in it to inherit the same attributes

#

Probably there is a better way but I don't know how

#

Apparently there are some properties that are automatically inherited

#

And there are some that aren't automatic

#

font-size is inherited automatically for instance

@limber orchid , no you can add them anywhere you’d like. They’re also irrespective of flask meaning they only interact with your HTML pages.
