okay, thanks

They're the best resource imho and many people more knowledgeable than me recommend it too.

I wonder what WordPress uses

@molten quarry Hey
I have read that book you suggested till chapter 6, I have really enjoyed it till now, chapter 7 is about memory management, not something I am interested in and the next chapters are something like getting inside node.js and js's inner functionality.
I am planning to take a look at some major JavaScript frameworks, do you think the other chapters are necessary or something?

I'm learning about oauth 2 and I want to implement a flask app that makes a user login with discord and prints out their username and profile picture
I'm following this guide, but for discord: https://github.com/authlib/demo-oauth-client/blob/master/flask-google-login/app.py

My /login endpoint which redirects the user to discord works fine, and discord correctly sends the oauth code in the URL. However, when I try to exchange the code for tokens, that's when my flask app throws an exception authlib.integrations.base_client.errors.OAuthError: invalid_client: invalid_client

GitHub

authlib/demo-oauth-client

Demo for Flask, Django, and Starlette OAuth clients with Authlib>=v0.13 - authlib/demo-oauth-client

#

I'm not sure why this exception is being thrown

#

to exchange code for token shouldn't you use token = oauth.discord.fetch_access_token()

#

https://hastebin.com/ecefamihow
here's my traceback

#

please do let me know if you need any other info

OH MY GOD

It was just an incorrect client secret

hello all, what is the difference between django and drango rest framework? when to pick one over the other.

dense slate Jun 30, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

@stable plover it do be like that

stable plover Jun 30, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

believe me I spent a day debugging this

#

the RFC is not very clear on that

craggy lava Jun 30, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

Hey can someone help? I wanted to make a simple Flask app, so i started a template app from visual studio 2019, but whenever i try to start the local server, Python returns "UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 3: invalid continuation byte", i have no idea what's wrong or where it's wrong

dense slate Jun 30, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

I spent a week on google oauth. It is so unecessarily complicated.

stable plover Jun 30, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

@craggy lava can you post your trace?

#

@dense slate I would say once you understand the concept, it becomes more clear

dense slate Jun 30, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

I agree. Once it works, it's like "well yea, obviously that's how it works. Why didn't they just write it the way I now understand it."

@stable plover here's the traceback from "flask run" last time i tried it on the console

Pastebin

Traceback - Pastebin.com

stable plover Jun 30, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

what are you listening on?

#

are you making a url request somewhere?

#

see the last line of the trace
hostname, aliases, ipaddrs = gethostbyaddr(name)
I think something is up with name

craggy lava Jun 30, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

I'll check the code, i just fired up the template on VS2019 and i'm very new to Flask, so i'll do some searching

craggy lava Jun 30, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

Ran again from Visual Studio instead of starting from console, it says the wrong byte is coming from this part of runserver.py (probably the script that starts the server)

try replacing both HOST and PORT temporarily with localhost and 5000

craggy lava Jun 30, 2020, 7:05 PM

SERVER_HOST is 'localhost' on the environment var

#

I'll see if it works

try replacing both HOST and PORT temporarily with localhost and 5000

Exactly the same thing

Also tried '127.0.0.1' just in case

@craggy lava huh? domain names are supposed to be UTF-8

can you file a bug report?

any simple way of multiplying the string "more" by the loop.counter in jinja?

@native tide I feel the same way, even after spending the last 2 months working through a Django textbook. However, like every programming language, what you don't understand will always look intimidating until you've learned gotten comfortable with it.

Find a resource and get goin!

Quick q’s what is better for a beginner flask or django

quick cargo Jul 1, 2020, 7:44 AM

#

Flask probably

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 8:30 AM

#

When i want to run flask on linux for testing with sudo python3 app.py it doesnt do anything

quick cargo Jul 1, 2020, 8:35 AM

#

do you actually have app.run() for testing

#

or have you been running it on your pc with Flask's cmd line

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 8:39 AM

#

i have it on gcp

#

if name == "name":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=80)

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 8:55 AM

#

@quick cargo

quick cargo Jul 1, 2020, 8:56 AM

Why not?

#

@quick cargo

Quart is not Flask

#

🤔

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

I had the same problem with flask before

#

I didnt fix it

quick cargo Jul 1, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

dont you need to run it as sudo?

#

sudo python3 ./app.py

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 9:16 AM

#

i run it

#

./?

#

It doesnt do anything

#

It doesnt matter where my files are located right?

quick cargo Jul 1, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

i mean yes?

#

If youre not cd'd into the folder containing the file its not gonna run a non existant file

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

IM there

#

I just saw that i have an apache server somehow running

quick cargo Jul 1, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

thats pretty normal for appache running on port 80

#

just run it on a port > 1000

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

Apache or flask

quick cargo Jul 1, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

Quart

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

Still doesnt do anything

quick cargo Jul 1, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

stop saying Flask when its not Flask, it just makes life confusing

#

What is the exact command you're running?

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

sudo python3 app.py

#

doesnt say anything no errors

quick cargo Jul 1, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

🤨

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 9:32 AM

#

Why??

coral raven Jul 1, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

Cd into the folder and run by saying
python app.py

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

I do it

#

and its sudo python3

coral raven Jul 1, 2020, 10:01 AM

#

This is if you have __name__ == __main__

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

i have it

coral raven Jul 1, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

Then what happens

#

It doesn't run?

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

Nothing

#

No errors nothing

coral raven Jul 1, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

What does it say

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

nothing

#

i said nothing

coral raven Jul 1, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

Drop the sudo

#

And run

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

Still nothing

coral raven Jul 1, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

That's odd

#

What os

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

linux

coral raven Jul 1, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

Try this

#

export FLASK_APP = app.py
export FLASK_DEBUG = 1
flask run

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

I use quart

coral raven Jul 1, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

In the terminal

native tide Jul 1, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

so i got it to run

#

Put on localhost

#

I need it to run on external ip

coral raven Jul 1, 2020, 10:11 AM

#


SET FLASK_ENV=development

flask run -h [yourIP] -p 8080

you will get following o/p on CMD:-

Serving Flask app "expirement.py" (lazy loading)

Debug mode: on

Restarting with stat

Debugger is active!

Debugger PIN: 199-519-700

limber laurel Jul 1, 2020, 1:13 PM

How do you create the ability to rollback in flask-migrate, if your migration failed? Because once I destroyed my database that way.

Or should I just back up my database

Hey guys so I’m working with Django right now and I wanted to know what’s the best software for caching memory ?

cold anchor Jul 1, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

redis

viral sphinx Jul 1, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Thanks

#

There are very minimum documentation on it

#

Is it easy to configure?

cold anchor Jul 1, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

are you making a cache to use in your django app?

viral sphinx Jul 1, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

Yeah I want to be able to store some data in the clients browser to reduce request time

#

I’m also new to memory caching

molten quarry Jul 1, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

Easiest is memcached. However redis has more options that you can grow into, which for me makes it more worth knowing. Nothing wrong with memcached though, it works great.

viral sphinx Jul 1, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

Memcached is built in with Django or dependent?

#

Independent *

teal patio Jul 1, 2020, 7:21 PM

Just started webdev, any tips from you guys would be much apreciated. Looking to use flask to put some of my python projects on here. https://tisbury.tk

@dark hare I had migrated my database and created a new column that is not nullable, dont know how I would bypass that in future, as today when migrating even with a default field, my previous objects had None inside of that spot instead of my default value, so maybe you know how I could make it use the default value

dense slate Jul 1, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

Is deleting the column an option?

molten quarry Jul 1, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

@viral sphinx Neither is included. I know there is built-in caching, but it uses the database and is therefore slower.

This looks like a good tutorial on redis: https://realpython.com/caching-in-django-with-redis/

Caching in Django With Redis – Real Python

Let's look at some of the factors that bog down your application and then demonstrate how to implement caching with Redis to counteract their effects.

dense slate Jul 1, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

Could you delete the column, the recreate it with a default?

#

If all of it is null.

#

@limber laurel

molten quarry Jul 1, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

Biggest advantage with redis is that you can persist data. So it could act like a second, very fast, database. Useful for storing values that change frequently (views on a page, stats, etc)

warped falcon Jul 1, 2020, 7:53 PM

I want the get_choices_list() to be called every time the SampleModel is instantiated but that doesn't happen...how do i do it?

📎 IMG_20200702_0118082.jpg

limber laurel Jul 1, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

@dense slate Only one row ends up being jull, if I were to delete the whole column then my data would be gone

There is something called server default, will look into that

odd oar Jul 1, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

@warped falcon Put it in the init function then, since that is what runs when you instantiate an object

#

Right now you have it as a class variable

#

e.g. SampleModel.user_choice gives you the value, you don't have to instantiate it

viral sphinx Jul 1, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

Thanks fishy

#

I’ll look into it, appreciate it

#

Also what’s the different between memcache and just storing/caching information locally (on browser)

#

Would we have to use JavaScript for browser based caching ?

zealous siren Jul 1, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

yes

warped falcon Jul 1, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

@odd oar doesn't work, says self is not defined.

📎 IMG_20200702_0151222.jpg

odd oar Jul 1, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

That's a glitch with your IDE, self is an argument to the function

#

But also that's not what I meant

warped falcon Jul 1, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

@odd oarcan you show how to do it?

odd oar Jul 1, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

If you want user_choice to be different for each instance it needs to be an instance variable

#

so set self.user_choice to what you have now inside the __init__ function

I'd use Flask, it depends what features you want on your app.

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

hi

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

hiya.

#

you mean rest as in the Django REST Framework, right?

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

so hm is rest very different from django

#

yes

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:09 AM

#

well, DRF sits on top of Django as a sort of add-on

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:09 AM

#

i'm new on web development and i've just learned django

#

kind of

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:09 AM

#

Django is big and has many features to learn

#

DRF is basically just another one of those features, once you install it

#

it's not that hard to work with

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

with drf you mean rest?

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

yes

#

the django rest framework

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

ok

#

but django is a framework itsself right?

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

yes, Django is a web framework

#

DRF, even though it literally has framework in the name, is really just a Django application

#

it extends the functionality of Django

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

ok thank you

it's not a web framework in and of itself

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

one more question please, i've heard that django has more things built in compared to flask

#

so why do poeple still use flask

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

yep

#

well

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

if django make there way easier

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

sometimes people don't like the things that are built into Django

#

they want more control

#

with Flask, you can still get those features that are built into Django - stuff like migrations, object-relational mapping, and so on

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

yeah i get it

#

but is it worth it

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

but you would install them as third party modules

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

to make everything from the begining

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:13 AM

#

you don't have to make them yourself

#

there's lots of flask extensions out there

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:13 AM

#

but then why does dajngo and flask exists why there isn't only one

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:13 AM

#

haha

#

because everyone thinks they can do better

#

and then they try. and sometimes they do

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:14 AM

#

oh lol

#

but that's good

#

having more variety

#

that's how capitalism works right

#

competition makes things better........i suppose

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:14 AM

#

Django is wonderful. Flask is great too. They're different. Flask gives you more freedom to choose. Django imposes its really excellent set of tools.

#

Django comes with batteries included

#

I use Django for all my personal projects, but we use Flask where I work.

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

what are batteries

#

or were you joking

#

I use Django for all my personal projects, but we use Flask where I work.
@deep cave i was required to learn one of the 2 for a job and i chosed django

#

i was surprissed how could a company use both languages

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

batteries included is a term that means "comes with everything you need"

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

yeah i get it thanks

#

thank you for your explanation

#

you can find very polite people in this web servers

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

we try

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

but why do you use your time to help others

#

i've never understood that

#

and i have always wanted to ask

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

because when I was learning how to code, I didn't have a place like this to go and ask questions.

#

and I wish I did.

#

so I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world.

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

yeah right when i started learning c++ at first it was the same

#

you're a good person

#

thank you

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

lemon_hyperleased

#

but also, it's because helping others is a great way to master your own skills

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

that's right too

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

you don't really know anything until you know it well enough to teach it to people.

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

true

#

i'm going now

deep cave Jul 2, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

see ya

opal robin Jul 2, 2020, 7:19 AM

it was nice to meet you

What do you mean by multi-user?

#

And, I doubt it

slow briar Jul 2, 2020, 8:13 AM

you mean users following other users etc

slow briar Jul 2, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

It is gonna be used my multiple users at the same time

native tide Jul 2, 2020, 8:14 AM

#

Don't get you, but there are third parties that make the feature feasible.

slow briar Jul 2, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

Like, many user will be logged in at once, and it should mess thigns up

#

It is very difficult with Flask

native tide Jul 2, 2020, 8:16 AM

#

User flask-login as third party and you shouldn't have a problem.

#

I'm not a daily Django programmer, but it is definitely feasible and quite straightforward in Flask

In both Django and Flask you'll probably use a third party library for that, so it's even

you can and often do use remote Dbs with Django or any website

but yes it is still useable

altho its setout to very heavily rely off its orm

Hi all, would someone help me with this please? I'm trying to make an API request with Postman toward Telegram so that it sends an inline keyboard to a chat (I provide the id), but the problem is, the keyboard consists of an array of buttons, I don't know how to put all that in a request?

#

Thanks, I am using this module right now

#

and I've shown the inline keyboard, but I don't know how to realize whether the one who tapped on the button tapped on the "correct" button or on the "wrong" button.

#

I have this code which is working fine:

#

context.bot.send_message(update.effective_chat.id, "Let's test an inline keyboard",
                                reply_markup=InlineKeyboardMarkup([[InlineKeyboardButton("Correct", callback_data="confirm")],
                                [InlineKeyboardButton("Wrong", callback_data="reject")]]))

#

then I have CallbackQueryHandlers like this:```
CallbackQueryHandler(confirm_new_member, pattern="confirm")

#

(I'm not sure if it's the correct thing to use though...)

#

and then I attach this to the dispatch object, and let's say the function confirm_new_member is something as simple as this:```
def confirm_new_member(update, context: CallbackContext):
print(f"confirm {context.user_data}")

#

but it's only showing an empty dictionary whenever I tap on a button.

pattern argument isnt for that purpose

marble carbon Jul 2, 2020, 4:27 PM

just ask it here

#

@sacred crest

#

you would do something like
data = update.callback_query.data inside the callback query function and compare it to see whether it says correct or wrong

#

and remove the pattern argument for now, it doesn't serve you any purpose

@limber laurel you should be apply to supply a default value for all previous entries for a new column, its straight forward in django but not sure how you apply in flask. Something for you to look up 👍

#

or you can just let all rows be nullable which would be your best bet

#

imo

@dark hare I found something called server_default it seems like it could do the job, but I dont hnderstand how to apply it from the documentation, a case of a non nullable column would be for example a profile picture, if there would be some kind of an icon there would at least be a default something, but if there is nothing then it cannoth show the image

This is the fourth installment of the Flask Mega-Tutorial series, in which I'm going to tell you how to work with databases.For your reference, below is a list of the articles in this series.Chapter…

limber laurel Jul 2, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

That tutorial doesnt cover such thing from what I can see

dark hare Jul 2, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

ahh ok, i dont think i can offer much more help, other than to say would be best to search online for how to implement a default value for new db column using flask

#

but from what I can briefly see online it looks like you might have it with server_default
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/metadata.html#sqlalchemy.schema.Column.params.default

#

theres also a default there specifically

limber laurel Jul 2, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

Yeah, I just dont quite understand how the value definiton works or can I just do ,server_default=somevalue)

dark hare Jul 2, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

looks like you can just do default=

#


A scalar, Python callable, or ColumnElement expression representing the default value for this column, which will be invoked upon insert if this column is otherwise not specified in the VALUES clause of the insert. This is a shortcut to using ColumnDefault as a positional argument; see that class for full detail on the structure of the argument.

Contrast this argument to Column.server_default which creates a default generator on the database side.

limber laurel Jul 2, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

Nope, I did dedault, for new object without anything in that field, it worked, but for old ones it just had None

dark hare Jul 2, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

what did you set default to though?

limber laurel Jul 2, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

To No information

#

Just a string

#

And old objects returned None when querying that, but new ines with that field empty returned No information

dark hare Jul 2, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/defaults.html#sqlalchemy.schema.ColumnDefault

#

hmm, maybe check these docs and check your code and try again

#

if not might be something else going on

#

but i would be confused if docs were wrong if you're doing it correctly

limber laurel Jul 2, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Maybe I need to change something in my configuration settings, gonna look into that with a fresh mind tomorrow, and if that wont work out I guess stackiverflow it is.

#

Thank you anyways

bright badge Jul 2, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

i'm being dumb

#

so the standard way of keeping passwords is a table in a database with salted hashes, right?

#

and somehow a static salt is bad practice?

#

how would you recalculate hashes when salt changes if you don't know the original pw and never actually keep it anywhere past the hash extraction process

dark hare Jul 2, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

@limber laurel thats a good idea, and no problem. Good luck
@bright badge you shouldnt really be messing with passwords. There are plenty of frameworks and libraries that take care of it for you. I dont see why you would be accessing user pws

limber laurel Jul 2, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

Werkzeug both can generate the password and compare password hashes.

I have a question, I am using flask, HTML + CSS to create a website

#

but

#

The navbar won't appear

#

HEre is the code + the directory tree:

#

📎 unknown.png

#

main.py: ```python
from flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(name)

@app.route("/home")
@app.route("/")
def home():
return render_template("home.html")

if name == "main":
app.run(debug=True)```

#

base.htmlpython <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>{% block title %} {% endblock %}</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='style.css')}}"> </head> <body> {% block content %} <header id="main-header"> <div class="container"> <h1>Mathoid</h1> </div> </header> <nav id="navbar"> <div class="container"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Addition</a></li> <li><a href="#">Subtraction</a></li> <li><a href="#">Multiplication</a></li> <li><a href="#">Division</a></li> </ul> </div> </nav> {% endblock %} </body> </html>

#

#

line-height: 1.6em;
font-size: 16px;
margin: 0;
font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
}

.container{
width: 80%;
margin: auto;
overflow: hidden;
}

#main-header{
background-color: #fff;
color: #333;
}

#navbar{
background-color: #fff;
color: #333;
}
#navbar ul{
padding: none;
list-style: none;
}

#navbar{
display: inline;
}

#navbar a{
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 18px;
padding-right: 30px;
}```

#

so yeah

#

IT's having trouble displaying things

#

on the webpage

#

Can anyone help?

native root Jul 2, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Yes

#

I suppose it is doing exactly what you told it to do here

#

The mistake is how you're using blocks

#

In your base.html you have defined a block "content"

#

and filled it with your header and content

#

in your home.html you have inserted code outside the blocks

#

this code will not render correctly

#

you have also provided an empty override for the "content" block

#

this means the code in base.html no longer shows

#

therefore, no output

#

if you wish to override the content block, place your home.html override code inside the same-named block

For Flask backend
The front end dev basically works with the HTML folders inside templates and css/js files inside the static folder?
Who’s in charge of writing the {% %} in the HTML?
Sorry idk about web dev at all I just started learning about flask (on Corey Schafer)

native tide Jul 3, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

What do you mean who's in charge of writing {%%} in html

#

You're in charge..that's a web template engine that works along with your backend variables.

wind walrus Jul 3, 2020, 6:10 AM

#

So when the frontend guy is working on the HTML, the backend can work on the {%%} too? But simultaneous == merge conflicts?

native tide Jul 3, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

usually the backend guy should do that, otherwise, if the variables are not passed as arguments in the render_template() function, jinja2 will raise some errors.

#

The front-end guy could mimic the effect of sth happening, for example, hardcode 3 elements instead of looping through the real data

#

and then the backend guy should come and replace those rows by saying sth like ```
{% for item in item_list %}
{{ item.name }}
{% endfor %}

wind walrus Jul 3, 2020, 6:14 AM

#

Ohh okay

#

But we should never work on the same file simultaneously right

#

So backend should only replace the hardcoded elements once the frontend guy finishes and pushes to the remote

native tide Jul 3, 2020, 6:15 AM

#

yeah, that's how I see it. There may well be other solns, but this is my opinion.

I know Jinja2 doesn't render JS variables; this is my case (where item.id doesn't work) ```
<a href="{{ url_for('portfolio.post', post_id=${item.id}) }}">

Solved it, quite awkwardly tbh, but this is how (for the curious) <a href="{{ url_for('portfolio.post', post_id='')}}${item.id}">

I haven't read your problem at all. But if you're newish to web dev, always consider that the problem might be caused by cacheing somewhere. Simplest is the browser cacheing files locally, and that can be fixed with ctrl+f5 or ctrl+shift+r

if its a one page site why use django?

Django would be almost pointless to use for a single page

josh do you know about django-secure settings?

#

hmm?

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

what is your problem exactly?

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

i've got a dynamicly generating settings file based on an environment variable that i can swap from debug to production

#

when i'm in debug i can use an <a download tag>

#

in prod it fails

#

the difference is in django security settings i have on the prod settings file

#

SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')
SECURE_HSTS_SECONDS = 3600
SECURE_HSTS_INCLUDE_SUBDOMAINS = True
SECURE_BROWSER_XSS_FILTER = True
SECURE_CONTENT_TYPE_NOSNIFF = True
SECURE_FRAME_DENY = True
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True

#

i put them on because a friend said he had them on his

#

(not great i know)

#

not sure which one is the cause though

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

im confused as to what your exact problem is, how do you know this is a security problem? as you're telling me its a tag

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

<a href"path to file" download> --> works without above settings, fails with them

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

thats very very strange, are you hardcoding the path?

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

no

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

im assuming your looking in static files and you have set your STATIC_ROOT in your prod settings?

#

and STATIC_URL

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

nah these are coming from media

#

and yeah media is working

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

what is your path, and where is the file stored

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

it all works without these specific settings like i say

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

so firstly

#

i would question as to why you are using all of these extra security settings when u dont know what they are doing

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

oh and debug = true

#

yeah valid question

#

just a recommendation from a friend who i'm trying to get in touch with to ask

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

does it work with debug = false and without those extra settings?

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

haven't tested that one

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

try it

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:31 PM

will do

#

cheers

#

ah debug setting is the problem

#

hmmm

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:34 PM

hmm

#

very strange imo

#

hard for me to help debug further without the code

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

no problem, cheers for your help

dark hare Jul 3, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

i would say theres a difference between your local settings and production settings

#

but I couldnt go further than that without look myself

#

👍

crude swan Jul 3, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

yeah i just turn debug to false on my local settings and get the failure so its that

at least have the right aim now

so my frontend dev is sending an image file in multipart/form-data. but there is some sort of fakepath error. I am using flask for the backend. Now I was simply using file.save(dest) to save the image file. But seems like his only options are sending the image file as a base64 or blob. I don't know how to handle those types of data. Can you help me?

the code works fine when tested from Postman/Insomnia. I'd assume the fakepath error is a brower security thing.

Hey All,

I have a flask app that I am developing and want to incorporate a custom data structure for each user that is unique and will constantly change based on the routes that are accessed. Without being to vague lets say I want to create a shopping list, you can add items to the list and delete items from the list depending on the route selected. How do I declare the shopping list while also making it unique to every user. I hope this makes sense I am not a web dev person and this is for my capstone so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I had a doubt, can I make a semi-decent webpage in pycharm using the html script?

native tide Jul 4, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

@prisma tree so you basically have some state for each customer, and you have a class that you want to instantiate separately for each customer with their state?

#

Using your shopping list as an example;

#

You can either have the html document have an empty shopping list, and a separate api that returns the contents of the list for a specific user - and using JavaScript in the webpage u query that api to fill the shopping list on the client side

#

Or you can have a template you fill out server side

#

Flask supports both. Templates: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/tutorial/templates/

For example, one user can add reservations to their reservation home page to display them. Is it possible for me to make it so another user can be logged in and add reservations and only see theirs that were added/have their own home page? Thanks!

you told heroku you're going to point "absolutagents.com" to the app but you've pointed "www.absolutagents.com" to the app instead

scenic vapor Jul 4, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

write

#

so what should be the host name

cold anchor Jul 4, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

you can use www if you want, but you need to tell heroku that's what it'll be

#

or you can change the hostname in godaddy to @ instead of www

#

I would suggest making sure both "yourdomain.com" and "www.yourdomain.com" can resolve as valid domains and just redirect one to the other

scenic vapor Jul 4, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

okay i've added a new domain on heroku with www in it

#

hmm okay

#

how would i go about that

#

on the dns settings

#

or just added both domains

#

mate

#

you're a champ

#

cheers

cold anchor Jul 4, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

you can't have one domain redirect to another from just the domain settings, you have to control that either in your python app code or with something like nginx

#

cheers 🍻

#

eh, I'll say you usually can't do it from domain settings, some domain providers do offer that functionality

Hello Guys,
Is there any way to get the response code from selenium or do i really need to first get website with Request and the load the page with Selenium, That just seems like a lot of request in a crawler...

Any advice? 🙂
Kind regards

@worn aurora I think there is a way that whould be better than using both Request and Selenium, i dont whant to break website 🙂

I'm trying to redirect to /register html <p><a href="{% url 'register' %}">Register account here</a></p>

To something else

dark hare Jul 4, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

@late stone yo, do you have model called hr_department_hruser?

#

models are blueprints for database tables. If you have created a new model in the code you need to makemigrations and make sure you have migrated to the database

#

i.e. creating a hruser model and then migrating and creating a table in the database called the same

#

so when django tries to look for a hruser it will find the corresponding user in the database

buoyant rapids Jul 4, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

@nova storm Nothing changed when I did that

cold anchor Jul 5, 2020, 2:29 AM

if you "hover" over the body element does it display blue over the entire page? when you do absolute or fixed positioning, it doesn't change the size of the parent

for some reason my body is 801px by 0 ?

cold anchor Jul 5, 2020, 2:33 AM

Flask/Jinja2: Is it a bad idea to pass functions to render_template as args? (return render_template('compare.html', func1=func1, func2=func2)

scarlet wind Jul 5, 2020, 3:52 PM

you would want to want to use want to use jinja2, which I think might come with django, but not totally sure

#

it lets you write code on the webpage

#

python code

#

then you would want to use for loops

#

to iterate through a certain amount of images you want displayed

#

for example, if you have images stored in a dictionary you could do:

{% for key, value in images.items() %}
<img src="{{ value[imgSrc] }}">
{% endfor %}

Hey guys, i'm new to Django and figured out that Django has it's own default ORM (DjangoORM) for interacting with databases. Now, i was wondering if Django allows us to use an other python ORM library in it like SQLalchemy?

ruby fjord Jul 5, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

why would you want to use sqlalchemy though, djangos orm is so much easier to use imo

lunar pumice Jul 5, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

why would you want to use sqlalchemy though, djangos orm is so much easier to use imo
@ruby fjord Yes, i'm aware of that but i was wondering if there are any pros/cons of learning DjangoORM over SQLalchemy or any other ORM

#

Basically, i want to start learning ORMs with something that doesn't feel like 'cheating'

ruby fjord Jul 5, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

well DjangoOrm is appropriate for Django, if you want to make desktop applications with pyqt5 or something, I would go for Sqlalchemy

#

they each have their use though

#

plus nowhere in the django docs do I see anything about sqlalchemy just use Djangoorm for django projects, its super easy to use

lunar pumice Jul 5, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

they each have their use though
alright, i see it'd be better to just start with it already. Just needed a push in this direction. Also, i hope that it won't be that difficult to shift to working with some other ORM in future?

ruby fjord Jul 5, 2020, 5:30 PM

terse viper Jul 5, 2020, 7:51 PM

that's a weird way of putting it, but yes

#

though with flask and related, you're not outputting to console any more, and the console is really only used as a way to look at some logs. everything is happening between the program and the connected HTTP connection (from the browser)

PyCharm - Is community edition able to highlight css/javascript?

I'm exploring the features of PyCharm to decide if I should use it(now PyDev). All looks great, but I haven't find a way to make PyCharm highlight css or js files:

Its a community edition, people are allowed to make stuff themselves

I have a question about flask

#

I want to redirect from one view to another but I can’t just use redirect(url_for()) because I need to pass a variable from the first page into render_template() in the second page

@native tide I'm struggling with coming up with ways to optimize my querying in Django - do you have some time to look at the 6 lines of code I have?

native tide Jul 7, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

sure, toss it my way and i'll take a peek here soon

vague mango Jul 7, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

            serialized_last_object = FarmDataSerializer(last_object).data
            last_timestamp = datetime.datetime.strptime(serialized_last_object['timestamp'], '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ')
            # last timestamp - 24 hours
            time_24_hours_ago = last_timestamp - datetime.timedelta(days=1)

            # query farm data for the last 24 hours for farm_device_id 01 - 16
            farm_device = FarmData.objects.filter(farm_device_id__gte = 1, farm_device_id__lte = 16, timestamp__gte = time_24_hours_ago).order_by('-timestamp')
            serialized_farm_data = FarmDataSerializer(farm_device, many=True).data

#

My code works however even after going through the queryset documentation I am not sure if my code is efficient. I am first getting the latest timestamp, finding the timestamp that is 24 hours before and running a new query. I am using postgresql for my DB and the data is being updated every minute. This function is called when the page refreshes. So Since the latest data uploaded is what I need, would there be improvements I can do to this code, as the database grows the runtime would also increase with my current code?

#

I'm currently in the general voice chat feel free to hop in @native tide

glass blaze Jul 7, 2020, 1:59 AM

FarmData.objects.filter(...)[:2000]

native tide Jul 7, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

just trying to get a little more clear about what you're looking for before i dive in, but

query farm data for the last 24 hours for farm_device_id 01 - 16

is this actually what you want? because the code is getting the farm data from 24 hours before the last timestamp for whichever single device ID had the latest timestamp (not necessarily 24 hours worth from any other ID afaik)

vague mango Jul 7, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

yes @native tide

glass blaze Jul 7, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

time(db_index=True)

native tide Jul 7, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

you may be able to annotate the max timestamp, then use an F query

#

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/db/aggregation/#joins-and-aggregates

#

but honestly i think i'd probably have done basically what you're doing

#

i wouldn't think you'd need all of the intermediary serialization though

glass blaze Jul 7, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

values("timestamp")

#

.values_list(flat=True, "timestamp")

#

[0]

native tide Jul 7, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

also agree with chimp, would be good to use values/values_list, db index if this is gonna be pretty core or really slow otherwise

anybody getting this error of "import error: cannot import 'secure_filename' from 'werkzeug' while using flask_uploads??

No

@native tide yeah i did that but still had the issue

but no worries i already solved the issue. the bug was related to the current version of Werkzeug . so i downgrade to the prev version now everything is working 💥

Did not see that. Thanks.

I'm not able to display the profile picture of my users. I have followed the Django docs

📎 image.png

#

In the project folder under settings.py I have

MEDIA_URL = "/media/"```

and in the urls.py 

```from django.conf.urls.static import static
from users import views as user_views

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)```

#

Not getting any errors when running the enviroment so i don't get the problem

bleak bobcat Jul 7, 2020, 9:41 AM

What do you get when you inspect that image src ?

native tide Jul 7, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

Unknown source

#

<img class="rounded-circle account-img" src="{{user.profile.img.url}}">

#

But src will show as unknown in chrome

bleak bobcat Jul 7, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

And what's your model ?

native tide Jul 7, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

from django.contrib.auth.models import User


class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    image = models.ImageField(default="default.jpg", upload_to="profile_pics")

    def __str__(self):
        return f"{self.user.username} Profile"

#

So if user doesn't upload his image of choice, it will resort to the default.jpg image

Any here have experience with fastapi? I'm looking to return multiple data obtained from another source within a JSON format. Am I better off creating a json object with the keys needed, populating within a for loop and returning this? Or is there a better way within fastapi? Example of how I want this structured when its returned:

  "users": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "first_name": "Robert",
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "first_name": "Lucy",
    }
  ]
}```

zealous siren Jul 7, 2020, 1:21 PM

So for loop it

#

Don’t put too much thought into it, application will spend more time in database then building.

Hello community , anyone got an error with email validation with flask > when I use an email with a dot “test.first@exemple.com” the registration form doesn’t work as it says to that it’s not a valid email ?

rigid laurel Jul 7, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

Flask email is very janky. The most popular package for it hasn't been updated in a long time

quick cargo Jul 7, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

best system is make a custom form in html with a regex expression to check

rigid laurel Jul 7, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

Oh. I'm completely misunderstanding. I thought it was about email verification

ruby fjord Jul 7, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

django forms tho

terse viper Jul 7, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

there's a "standard" regex expression out there that checks for email format

fickle basin Jul 7, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

Okey I ll check tonight

terse viper Jul 7, 2020, 2:22 PM

there's a whole site dedicated to it: https://emailregex.com/

Almost Perfect Email Regex

Email Address Regular Expression That 99.99% Works.

Almost perfect email address regular expression. Just copy and paste for a language of your choice. Feel free to contribute!

#

although the Python one in there is the simplified one, it'll probably work for what you need, though the more complex one is more accurate, I'm not 100% sure it's formatted correctly for python. feel free to try it

#

this one:

(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])

versus this one

^[a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+$

one of the two probably

hey is someone is familiar with Django signals, can you explain why do we need it at all?

bleak bobcat Jul 7, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

You don't need it. In most common websites you're not gonna use them

fickle basin Jul 7, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

@twilit zenith if it’s when you are creating a profile or notifying a set of receivers then think about it as a trigger

twilit zenith Jul 7, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

im using Django rest framework and Vue JS cli

#

I learned how to create API and stuff but I'm a bit confused cuz some people used signals

#

some are using rest_framework router

#

idk what to do gotta do more research I suppose

#

I think router isn't needed, but I'll most likely use signals for post notifications

#

I can use Vue router plugin anyways
