[inland oak]

btw you are probably missing installed dependency or activated venv

[summer echo]

Should I learn django or flask?

[dawn shard]

how can I overcome that

?

[dawn shard]

Django is better

[summer echo]

Better just overall?

[inland oak]

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/install/#installing-official-release

python -m pip install Django

although I would advise installing in venv

which means...

what is your OS?

[dawn shard]

Windows

[inland oak]

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
python -m pip install Django

in next sequence, commands then

be sure to activate your venv, when you start to work

[tulip beacon]

hey guys, anyone good at react? I have a startup idea to discuss. If you are good at react dm me

[inland oak]

pip freeze > requirements.txt
a way to... copy all your current requirements dependencies to quick install file

[rare ibex]

can someone help me with this please

[dawn shard]

please tell how to do this

[inland oak]

pip install -r requirements.txt in just started venv, in order to reinstall them

[inland oak]

venv\Scripts\activate

[dawn shard]

ok. got it

[tulip beacon]

anyone?

[summer echo]

Yeah, or you can chose your own name for the environment by changing the last venv in "python -m venv venv"

[inland oak]

shrugs
standard is good one
i recorded it to my .bashrc file

alias ac='[ -d "venv" ] && . venv/bin/activate || (python3.9 -m venv venv && echo "created venv" )'
alias de='deactivate'
alias dj='python manage.py'
alias sc='python scripts.py'

in order to have quick venv activation with ac (creates venv if there is no one)

[summer echo]

You might wanna look in a server with experienced js people

Good luck though

[dense slate]

I cannot find anything in the docs to answer this, but was there a major change to on_delete in Django 3? I upgraded from 2 to 3 on a project (working on version 2) and I get TypeError: on_delete must be callable. on a model field that has no on_delete at all. When I add one,it states that there are multiple values for the argument on_delete. Any ideas?

the server isn't for recruitment

you're raising a 404 error, is that not what you wanted?

[limber laurel]

could someone help me to do something?

help me! i can't howl my photo

i don't understand which path i should past in html

[native tide]

Hey guys anyone has expereince using flask and firebase

[serene prawn]

It depends on what you want to build

[summer echo]

So what are the differences?

[serene prawn]

Flask would be better for api's

[summer echo]

Oh ok

and django is more advanced right?

[serene prawn]

And allow more freedom in your app architecture

I would say that flask is more advanced 😅

[summer echo]

Oh

[serene prawn]

Since you have to pick all components you want (orm, etc)

[summer echo]

So why does the majority pick django?

Ooh I see

[serene prawn]

But it's more simple too

[summer echo]

there are more features i suppose

yes

[serene prawn]

Yes, django has built-in auth, orm and admin

[summer echo]

Yeah ok

[serene prawn]

But actually i would use fastapi over flask

[summer echo]

For API's or just in general?

[serene prawn]

For api's

[summer echo]

Yeah ok

[serene prawn]

If you use server rendering (jinja/django tempaltes or something like this) then i would go with django

Django isn't that great for api's

[summer echo]

So if I want to build a web app which does not include api's Django would be the best option?

[serene prawn]

With server side rendering? 🤔

[summer echo]

I just started with web development

I have no idea what that means 😂

[serene prawn]

html templates that server populates with some info and give to the client

[summer echo]

Okayy

[serene prawn]

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2020/07/differences-static-generated-sites-server-side-rendered-apps/

[summer echo]

Thanks!

[serene prawn]

Scroll down to like definition of server side rendering

Again, it's like just populating your html templates with some data you have in your database

Do you have any sql knowledge?

[summer echo]

Not much

[serene prawn]

I guess django can be easier in what comes to sql

[summer echo]

Okay

[serene prawn]

It does many things for you

[summer echo]

I think I'll try both out

[serene prawn]

If you would like to make use of type annotation i would go with fastapi

[summer echo]

Yeah

[serene prawn]

And fastapi has everything flask has, so imo there's no point in using it

[summer echo]

using flask?

[serene prawn]

Yep

[summer echo]

Fair enough

I guess i'll look at that as well then 👀

[serene prawn]

Sure do

[summer echo]

Ty!

[serene prawn]

Share your model

[dense slate]

I think i figured it out. But regarding SSR, i love using Django but have recently learned about the benefits of Next.js. what are your thoughts on using next vs React with Django? I love python and want it for my backend but needa better solution for the front end and React seems to have poor SEO. @serene prawn

[serene prawn]

I don't have much experience with react

And i talked about template rendering really

[dense slate]

What's your optimal solution for front end with Django then?

I know, just thought you might have an opinion. 🙂

[serene prawn]

I won't really use frontend framework with django 😅

[dawn heath]

does anyone oculd help me with celery?

[opaque rivet]

I'm pretty sure you can use Django with next.js, run build and then let django handle the static files. I'm not 100% sure but I think next.js creates lots of bundled files for each page rather than create-react-app which is just one client side app.

[opaque rivet]

sure, what's up

[dense slate]

Right. I'm hoping to take advantage of the caching in next to speed up my Django projects.

Guess I'll just have to try it!

[quick cargo]

NGL at that point why use Django

Django doesnt serve static content anyway (and shouldnt for that matter)

and if you're using just to make the API at that point just use FastAPI

[serene prawn]

Yep, it's so much better for apis

[opaque rivet]

yeah I know it's not the best, personally I learnt django for employability and it doesn't seem like FastAPI is that sought after. But once I've had my time with django I'll 100% move over, either that or a JS backend

[quick cargo]

FastAPI is generally a very sought after backend as client side rendering becomes even more prominent

[opaque rivet]

i don't doubt it, but just searching "fastapi" vs "django" for jobs and seeing what is available is what is keeping me from it

[quick cargo]

It generally depends on it

[opaque rivet]

but also, if you are using next.js and want server side rendering, why not use django?

[quick cargo]

Django certainly isnt used to be an API

because it really doesnt do a great job at it

You basically dont make use of any of the pre-built boiler plate stuff, model validation is a pain and throughput isnt the best

Doing a E-Commerce site? highly cached? Sure use Django

and thats what alot of these contractor jobs do because it's quick and doesnt really need to be api based like that

but as soon as you get to API only type setups then Django kinda a meme really

[dawn heath]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67257624/how-do-i-implement-a-producer-consumer-problem-in-celery-redis-rabbitmq

[serene prawn]

Well, there's drf, but 😅

[quick cargo]

DRF

I cannot tell you how much i hate my life when writing rest and api frameworks in Django vs FastAPI

[dapper tusk]

I remember there being a django module for graphQL

[quick cargo]

As much as Django's orm is cool and all

[dapper tusk]

Patryk used to recommend it

[quick cargo]

its still such a yikes compared to FastAPI or a micro framework

[dapper tusk]

honestly, I have found fastAPI extremely painful once I needed to do anything that required metaprogramming

since it parses the signature

[quick cargo]

Just mod it 😉

[dapper tusk]

I ended up using stalette

[quick cargo]

I actually made a framework wrapper for that tbh

[opaque rivet]

so how about node.js? I heard deno is good

[quick cargo]

Deno inst NodeJS firstly

and also IIRC atm Deno is still a beta system

[dapper tusk]

node is ok, but I am not fond of nodes dependency style

[quick cargo]

Deno is mostly for TypeScript because of the auto compile

but again, not recommended for prod as of yet

My experience with Node frameworks is

[opaque rivet]

ah yeah it's not the same thing, thought it was as they have the same creator

but typescript is lovely ngl 🙂

[quick cargo]

Typescript is great

just alot of web frameworks suck in places, mostly cuz JS tings

bit like go tbh

as much as i like some of what Go does

i cant write backend frameworks with it

Doc strings or lack there of

[dapper tusk]

I don't really know what server framework to suggest. starlette/fastAPI are probably my best bet, but ORM integration is pretty obnoxious last I saw it.

[serene prawn]

True, fastapi is really more suited to apis

[quick cargo]

ORM stuff kinda blows for async in general tbh

Atm im working on a async orm built of PyDantic

[dapper tusk]

raw SQL works OK, but it is an extra hour of messing with queries per project

[quick cargo]

cuz i got so fed up of SQLAlchemy core not supporting model inheritance

[dapper tusk]

another 2 if you need migrations on top of that

[serene prawn]

Tbh sometimes it's easier to write sql

[dapper tusk]

sometimes

[opaque rivet]

tbh I've been on the brink between django and node.js for a while

[quick cargo]

I mean learn both

[opaque rivet]

what do you guys say?

[quick cargo]

but NodeJS is an entire language

its not really a HTTP framework

well, it has support for it

[opaque rivet]

mhm, well specifically express

[quick cargo]

but no one uses just it

Express sucks

[dapper tusk]

to be perfectly honest, for 90% of projects, any reasonably popular web framework will do the job perfectly

[serene prawn]

nest js seems cool 🙂

[dapper tusk]

what you need to do is identify which parts of your project are going to hard, and decide around those

[opaque rivet]

hmm yeah that's quite true

[dapper tusk]

there are some really cool things in node, like https://blitzjs.com/, but you have to figure out how its deps look and such

[quick cargo]

tbh at that point Next.JS is probably enough

although im not a fan of Next

[serene prawn]

Wouldn't nestjs be more powerful? 🤔

[quick cargo]

In most cases it literally doesnt matter

Its like when people argue over using a framework "cuz framework x got n score on techempower vs framework y that got n score on there"

[serene prawn]

Yeah, but nestjs makes good use of typescript and allows you to encapsulate your logic into services

so why not

[serene prawn]

I wouldn't solely rely on benchmarks 🙂

[quick cargo]

benchmarks mean nothing in reality

[serene prawn]

But if one thing is ~10 times faster than other and it's similar to it then why not?

[quick cargo]

generally because it doesnt tell you the reality of the performance

[serene prawn]

Say fastapi and flask, that's nobrainer even if fastapi was the copy of flask

[dapper tusk]

most web services are IO bound

CPU load is more or less meaningless

[quick cargo]

a framework thats really good at pipelining vs a framework thats really good a real world requests

the pipeliner will win but at a cost

[serene prawn]

Btw does sqlalchemy has async support? 🤔

[quick cargo]

not really

there's databases or orm but they only support a very minimal amount of alchemy core

and so no model inheritance

[serene prawn]

I guess i would stick with sync sqlalchemy for now then 🙂

It mentions async support though https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/orm/extensions/asyncio.html

[quick cargo]

yeah

core

[serene prawn]

2.0 soon(tm) https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/orm/extensions/asyncio.html#synopsis-orm

[quick cargo]

personally i dislike alchemy

[serene prawn]

I use future mode though 🤔 so it should work

What would you use then?

[quick cargo]

I generally dont use ORMs like that

[native tide]

What if

I put my web app's url in here 😳

what are the chances that I get hacked

[serene prawn]

hacking intensifies

[quick cargo]

recently what i've been working on my more official ORM for pydantic

just because i see no point in a ORM without inheritance

[native tide]

SQL Alchemy? 😳

[serene prawn]

You would need separate models for views anyway though 🙂

[quick cargo]

not really

for example what we have alot of it a entity base

then extensions of that

[serene prawn]

Exclude/Include fields, relationships?

[quick cargo]

going onto specific setups

class Entity(BaseModel):
  ...

class ExtendedEntity(Entity):
  ...

class User(Entity):
  ...

class Area(ExtendedEntity):
  ...

inheritance is by far the most powerful thing imo with ORMS

[serene prawn]

You can live without it i guess 😅

[quick cargo]

not really

[serene prawn]

Though there might be many use cases for it

[quick cargo]

i dont want all these duplicate models n shit

[serene prawn]

I guess i can stay on sync sqlalchemy for not then 🤔

Though it sqlalchemy fully supports async @quick cargo

Is it okay to ping you?

[quick cargo]

Sure

[serene prawn]

It just returns weird list of Rows 😅

async def retrieve_all(self) -> List[Entity]:
    async with self.async_session_factory() as session:
        query = select(Entity).order_by(Entity.name).options(selectinload(Entity.children))
        result = await session.execute(query)
        return [row[0] for row in result.all()]

But it works 🤔

[quick cargo]

Curious that all() isnt async tbh

[serene prawn]

It should be cpu bound 🤔

[quick cargo]

although if i remember i think it selects all every time so ig maybe not

[serene prawn]

It shouldn't do any io

[quick cargo]

I mean generally it should be IO bound because typically you dont wanna fetch every row every time you do a query

[serene prawn]

because this works 🤔

async def retrieve_all(self) -> List[Entity]:
    async with self.async_session_factory() as session:
        query = select(Entity).order_by(Entity.name).options(selectinload(Entity.children))
        result = await session.execute(query)
    return [row[0] for row in result.all()]

it's a small table in this case

[quick cargo]

lets say you have some massive DB with multiple matching rows, you dont always want to select all the data and send it over the network

[serene prawn]

But limit works

[quick cargo]

yeah

[serene prawn]

In my case it's a table with tags so i can safely return all of them

It wouldn't be bigger than ~50 rows and i want to display all of them in my vue frontend 🤔

Anyway i don't like how it returns the data 😅

[quick cargo]

It's the standard SQL way

AsyncPG does a nice job with its Record class

[serene prawn]

How can you can have multiple entities in single row?

[quick cargo]

because each row can return several column values which are apart of the row

all() returns all the rows

but each row has a set of columns

[serene prawn]

But it returns model instance 🤔

[quick cargo]

[serene prawn]

[(<tags.models.Tag object at 0x00000292917B0820>,)]

🙂

[quick cargo]

Im guessing maybe Many to Many then

[serene prawn]

🤔

Anyway i could use a little helper function then...

[quick cargo]

or just not use alchemy

[serene prawn]

ffs

😅

I already switched from django to fastapi

[quick cargo]

Raw SQL 🦾

[serene prawn]

no no no

NoSql in my py files 🙂

I can use a decorator though 😅

[winged agate]

I'm gonna go to sleep now, but leaving this here overnight:
How could I go about making a web dashboard so my bot can be controlled from there?
Please ping me if you can help, hope this doesn't break any rules lol

[dawn heath]

lets say I refactor my code into this https://gist.github.com/SkyBulk/65f3781bc9e79e26321239dda8517140 , and needs to point to https://gist.github.com/SkyBulk/92dcab544c9332e465e88b199a241669#file-async_sample-py-L18 reponse how can I use this in order to save it to postgresql ?

[wanton forge]

So I'm making an application that I want to deploy as a website and I am running around in circles unsure of what to do

It is a computatinally intensive app so it needs to connect to an AWS EC2 instance with vCPU's in order to serve the user's requests

Im just not sure what the overall structure of the website is supposed to look like

is the entire thing supposed to be within a docker/kubernetes container that starts a new instance every time a user visits the site?

[brisk spindle]

There must be nothing computationally intensive on a visit of a website.

[wanton forge]

so the computation would have to be done by an API?

[terse vapor]

@app.route("/addpatient", methods=['GET', 'POST']) 
@login_required 
def addpatient(): 
    v = Newpatient.query.first()
    a = Totalpatient.query.first() 
    form = PatientForm() 
    if form.validate_on_submit(): 
        patient = Patient(name=form.name.data, number=form.number.data, gender=form.gender.data, year=form.year.data, month=form.month.data,
        day=form.day.data, street=form.street.data)   
        db.session.add(patient) 
        db.session.commit()
        patient = Patient.query.all() 
        for i in patient:
            if Patient.name not in i: # Error: TypeError: argument of type 'Patient' is not iterable
                a = Totalpatient() 
                a.count += 1
            else:
                a.count += 0
        if not v:
            v = Newpatient() 
        v.count += 1
        db.session.add(a) 
        db.session.add(v) 
        db.session.commit()```

Im not sure where i did wrong

[serene prawn]

@terse vapor
Is Patient.name nullable?

[terse vapor]

False

its False

[serene prawn]

What you're trying to do then?

[terse vapor]

Im trying to do if the new patient has come to the clinic before, it will just save to db with adding 0, and if its first time here, it will add as a new patient and save to totalpatient db

[serene prawn]

First name is unreliable but you can just find it in the database

By it's name

[terse vapor]

the name its actually use in a different language

so in that language, there's no first or last name

[serene prawn]

Wdym

You can just query a patient by it's name from database

to see if the record is there

And you usually don't want to have duplicate rows in your database

That's a bad database design

[terse vapor]

hmmm

good idea

[serene prawn]

And what are TotalPatient and NewPatient?

[terse vapor]

Totalpatient = All patients with different name, like how many different people have came
Newpatient = All records of patient

[serene prawn]

Ehm 🤔

I still don't understand what NewPatient is

Can't you have like Patient table and PatientVisits?

[terse vapor]

its basically all patient that have came to the clinic

[serene prawn]

Why not store it in Patient?

[terse vapor]

hmmm, never thought of that

[terse vapor]

idk, I just did it this way, lol

[serene prawn]

You literally don't need TotalPatient and Newpatient 😅

[terse vapor]

😅

btw, how can u filter the patient by this month or like today?

[serene prawn]

from dataclasses import dataclass
from datetime import datetime


@dataclass
class Patient:
    id: int
    name: str
    ...


@dataclass
class PatientVisit:
    id: int  # every database record should have an id to identify it
    patient_id: int  # a foreign key to Patient
    #  Any info you want there
    date: datetime  # The date for example

I think sqlalchemy can compare datetime and build queries from it

I wrote these 2 as dataclasses just as an example

[terse vapor]

Ya, i tried like

current_month_expenses = Patient.query.filter_by(patient_id=patient.id).filter(Patient.create >= from_date).filter(Patient.create <= datetime.now()).all()```

[serene prawn]

That should work

But you would filter on PatientVisit

[terse vapor]

but patient visit only records number

so i have to go to patient

[serene prawn]

You can filter by patient id...

Also there's a foreign key so it's easy to obtain related entities

[terse vapor]

ok

[serene prawn]

That should work 🤔

patient = Patient.query.get(patient_id)
visits = patient.visits.filter(start_of_month <= PatientVisit <= now).all()

You can also make sql do the sum 🙂

[terse vapor]

ok, im going to try it rn

[serene prawn]

What orm are you using?

@terse vapor

[terse vapor]

im sorry, whats a "orm"?

[serene prawn]

Object Relational Mapper 🙂

A layer that maps your table entities to models

[terse vapor]

well no

[serene prawn]

Well you do use one...

Django? Peewee?

[coral bluff]

Hello, how do I convert the first word into uppercase or capitalize in php html?

[serene prawn]

PHP 👀

[coral bluff]

for example i input Web DevelopMent then the result should be WEB Development

[terse vapor]

Flask

[serene prawn]

That's not an orm but a web framework 😅

Show your imports on top of that file

[terse vapor]

import os
import secrets
from flask import render_template, url_for, flash, redirect, request, abort, session, jsonify
from flaskblog import app, db, bcrypt, mail
from flaskblog.forms import PatientForm, MedicineForm, RegistrationForm, LoginForm, DetailForm, AddWorkLogForm, UpdateDoctorForm, AdminLoginForm, AdminRegistrationForm, AddannouncementForm, RequestResetForm, ResetPasswordForm
from flaskblog.models import User, Detail, Medicine, Patient, Worklog, Admin, Announcement, Newpatient, Totalpatient
from flask_login import login_user, current_user, logout_user, login_required
from flask_mail import Message
from datetime import datetime```

[coral bluff]

am i in the right cahnnel?

[serene prawn]

show flaskblog.models imports?

[terse vapor]

User, Detail, Medicine, Patient, Worklog, Admin, Announcement, Newpatient, Totalpatient

these?

[serene prawn]

@coral bluff You are but it's more or less a python server 😅 I have some experience with php but don't really want to touch it

@terse vapor Just imports on top of models file

[coral bluff]

oh alright. Thanks for the information

[terse vapor]

kk

[serene prawn]

@coral bluff What are you using php for?

[coral bluff]

for my project

[serene prawn]

I mean what kind of

[coral bluff]

only input and output in display

lemme screenshot

[serene prawn]

Just plain php? 😅

[coral bluff]

yes

just plain

the web word should be capitalize

[serene prawn]

I wouldn't develop anything in plain php
If you want it to be manageable after it grow to like 5 files 😅

[coral bluff]

ooooh!

[serene prawn]

That's easy to do in py 🙂

[coral bluff]

yeah im still learning in php and also in html 🙂

[serene prawn]

I asked you to show the imports...

[terse vapor]

😅

my bad

[serene prawn]

@coral bluff

>>> s = "Web Development"
>>> words = s.split(" ")
>>> words[0] = words[0].upper()
>>> " ".join(words)
'WEB Development'

🤔

I would just find methods that do the same in php

[thorn nexus]

I have a url pattern that looks like this:

re_path(r'var1/(?P<var1_id>[0-9]+)/edit/(?P<var2_id>[1-5]+)', view_1),

This should match var1/47/edit/3 for example. Is there a way to dynamically set the view function the URL is handed to based on the last integer (3 in this example)?
So, var1/47/edit/3 is routed to view_3 in views.py, while var1/47/edit/4 is sent to view_4

[serene prawn]

Creating multiple view usually isn't the way to go

You can pass variable with that number into view itself

[thorn nexus]

Yeah, I know I can do that, I'm just concerned about a bloated view method. I though separating out the views for each number maybe cleaner.

Maybe I'm just over thnking it.

[serene prawn]

Why would you have a bloated view in a first place? 🤔

What these last digits mean?

[thorn nexus]

I'm using the digit to determine which model to edit.

[serene prawn]

So they're different models or different model instances (rows)?

[thorn nexus]

they are different models

[serene prawn]

🤔

And what's first id for exactly?

var1_id

[thorn nexus]

a parent model. When var1_id is created, new object for var2 is also created. model for var2 has a fk relationship with var1 model.

[serene prawn]

Would be better if you name your id's accordingly

like user_id

for example

[thorn nexus]

agree. var names posted here are just placeholders for actual variables I'm working with.

logic is same though

[serene prawn]

You're is it SPA or server rendered app?

via templates or something

[thorn nexus]

yes, templates

[serene prawn]

You can have 5 view that would modify their own models

That would be a good approach

[thorn nexus]

re_path(r'var1/(?P<var1_id>[0-9]+)/edit/(?P<var2_id>[1-5]+)', view_1),

In this case above, all 5 possible options will be routed to view_1 method.
Then while inside view_1 check for int and send them to their respective view?
I want to cut out the intermidieta view_1 to start with.

[serene prawn]

You can have something like

path("something/<int:someting_id/edit/another-thing", edit_another_thing_view)
...

For all five of them

[thorn nexus]

yeah, explicitly state the urls.

I guess that is the way to go without tripping up myself

[thorn nexus]

Thanks! I'll do this.

[serene prawn]

You could also make 5 edit pages for your different entities

🤔

At least that would be easier if you use templates

[thorn nexus]

Totally!

Hello, this is a web dev help question so not exactly python related, but I would like to see if anyone knows how I could get the following code:

<div class="Hamburger_menu">
    <img src="{% static 'images/logo.jpeg' %}" class = "logo">
    <input class="hamburger_checkbox" type="checkbox" id="hamburger_id">
    <label class="hamburger_icon" for="hamburger_id">&#9776 </label>
    <label class="hamburger_cross_icon" for="hamburger_id">✕</label>
    <div class="header">
        <ul>
            <a>
            <input class="dark_mode_button" type="checkbox" id="dark_mode_id">
            <label class="dark_mode_button_display" for="dark_mode_id">DarkMode </label></a>
            <a href="/logoutpage"> Logout</a>
            <a href="/logoutpage"> Logout</a>
            <a href="/logoutpage"> Logout</a>
            <a href="/logoutpage"> Logout</a>
        </ul>
    </div>
    <div class="news_div">
        <h1>{{Article_name}}</h1> 
        <h1>{{Article_author}}</h1> 
        <h1>{{Article_title}}</h1> 
        <h1>{{Article_desc}}</h1> 
        <img src={{ Article_img }} alt={{Article_name}} class="acticle_img">
        <a href= {{ Article_url }} >link text</a>
    </div>
</div>

@media only screen and (max-width:600px) {
  .hamburger_icon{
    display: block;
  }
  .header{
    text-align: center;
    width: 100%;
    display: none;
  }
  .header a{
    display: block;
    border-bottom: 1px solid red;
  }
  input:checked ~ .header{
    display: block;     
  }
  input:checked ~ .hamburger_cross_icon{
    display: block;     
  }
  input:checked ~ .hamburger_icon{
    display: none;     
  }
}
/* Dark Mode Button */
/* .dark_mode_button{
  display: none;
} */

input:checked ~ .a{
   background: red;
}

What I am trying to do is to get the dark_mode_button to change the backround color of tag a. I'm not sure how to do this because I have already used an input tag, therefore input:checked does not work!

Any help would be appreciated!!!

[grand oriole]

I use python flask, and to make a path, normally it's this:

app.route('/path')
def path_funct():

how would i create a new one without actually editing the code (when it receives a POST request, it makes a new path)?

[serene prawn]

You don't usually create routes dynamically but rather matching them against some kind of pattern, say

@app.route('/post/<int:post_id>')
def show_post(post_id):
    # show the post with the given id, the id is an integer
    return 'Post %d' % post_id

(Example from https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/quickstart/)

[native tide]

@inland oak You can automate stuff in windows too yakno 👀

treat $PROFILE as .bashrc 👍

[inland oak]

linux is an one big IDE.
no need for Windows

like... what's the point to be in Windows
if we need to adapt our project to run in Linux anyway?

[native tide]

well, most regular users, including developers use windows, that'd be one major reason

[inland oak]

web dev projects are run at Linux servers.

[native tide]

yea

[inland oak]

users get their results through browsers
no need for the work to be windows compatible

[native tide]

but development itself is mostly done on windows devices, I'm not saying this is how it should be

but that's how it is

and there are applications that are not happening on web

a decent few in fact 🙂

[inland oak]

same can be said about Windows

you can't launch without pain there... (or just can't)
Docker (+compose)
Kubernetes
Redis / Celery
Postgres
Nginx

if you want to be python backender, which can deploy his own project

better be in Linux

[native tide]

launch what?

[inland oak]

All right, easy example

for any web project, Flask, Django, or whatever

there is requirement often to be able

settings tasks in Celery

which use Redis database

how are you supposed to debug it in Windows?

[native tide]

I've never worked with celery so i wouldn't know

[inland oak]

or... deploying your project in Docker

this is.. like super often requirement

[native tide]

deploying docker is simple on windows

[inland oak]

only Windows 10 supports docker

[native tide]

and win server

[inland oak]

yes, we can blindly write instructions from Windows for Linux

but why to endure pain (in form of increased time to debug)

when it can be tested directly

if you are in Linux?

[native tide]

you're making very broad statements I'm trying to understand

why imply debugging takes more time in windows?

i wish to know

[inland oak]

because
you have no direct/easy access to install services like Docker/Redis/and e.t.c. in literally few commands
Your dependencides only where tested to work OK in Windows
Your application paths were tested only to work OK in Windows

all it leads to...

[native tide]

You do know Docker on windows uses WSL right?

[inland oak]

testing application through... some ssh connection

on Linux Server

but it is not really convinient

when it can be tested on main machine

yes, some could write piplines

[native tide]

and you're wrong

[inland oak]

for automated testing for Linux compatibility

[native tide]

there are scripts that automate installing those

[inland oak]

but, I think it is just not enough

well, I suppose so, Chokolatey exists after all

[native tide]

correct

and powershell is extremely powerful shell in itself

thanks to it's .NET bindings

[inland oak]

but, we are usually needing linux scripts to automate our CI

windows scripts are next to useless

[native tide]

if you have linux server sure

i'd image that being the case

I mean, depends on your workload, powershell as shell is available on linux freely

so if you work with python and pip, pwsh script is "cross platform" in that sense

[inland oak]

it can work as substitution
but it smells weird to me

[native tide]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[inland oak]

after all, it is not even available in any Linux

[native tide]

it is

[inland oak]

without installation of it

[native tide]

in all of them

it's open source

oh

yea, you have to install program to use it

that's how things work yes

it's not preinstalled

🙂

[inland oak]

it will make usage of public docker images harder

[native tide]

why so

[inland oak]

well, you would have to... you know...
being finding how to install powershell to every differently used docker image
and you don't for sure always, which is even Linux version is there

Ubuntu/Alpin/Debian

stable, or super freshly new ones

shell scripts work always

[native tide]

so you're discussing scripts inside docker images now?

[inland oak]

yup.

which use Linux most of the time

[native tide]

I was under the impression docker images are supposed to be immutable, so majority of it's use should be with just dockerfile

running shell script directly on image seems unconventional

[inland oak]

well, yes. But from project to project, to different goals
you are usually changing which docker image you use

because some of docker images already have everything preinstalled

in terms of going to be used services

saves a lot of time, from doing on your own

[native tide]

doing what, on your own?

managing different containers?

[inland oak]

for example
docker image with preinstalled
python
or npm
or even with preinstalled docker inside of it
continue the list with any required service

[native tide]

yes, what about it?

[inland oak]

forget about it

[manic current]

Hello, does anyone know the HTML language here? If anyone knows, the link does not work when adding the link, if you know why can you write please, thanks

[limber laurel]

Okey thanks :)

[inland oak]

[inland oak]

do you have multiple

which aren't having specific error mentioned?
do they catch just except or general error Exception?

[limber laurel]

no I dont

[native tide]

@hard quail list as a python list? more commonly you'd use a database if you need to store some data permanently

if you were discussing a "list" on client side that will only hold objects temporary, you would likely have to use JS for that

"Django" as framework doesn't hold data, whatever database you use does (likely SQLite)

[hard quail]

hm ok I will look into it

would it be hard

to store data

i.e jimmy has 5 appels

and 10 bananas

[shy fiber]

I have a chat exported in file.txt I'm turning this into csv file by pandas and plotting some graphs with that csv file
Someone tell me how do I start implementing this in django

Hmm

can be Django model splitted into several classes?

[shy fiber]

Classes can be split so they has to

I don't know about django much but I know classes

ask others they might help you better

[inland oak]

I know, how that supposed to work with classes

I just not sure how it would interpret django

[shy fiber]

I'm totally newbie don't where to start

it's been 1 week I'm stuck with this problem

[inland oak]

which framework can I use for sql database in framework aiogram? you said rubbish

you probably meant to say, which ORM library I could use in framework aiogram

the answer: SQLAlchemy, peewee, PonyORM

If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled. i can successfully do my search on my main computer but on another i cant.

[opaque rivet]

here is good (if it's related to web development)

using django?

yes

django, and react

if react matters for this

i dont think so though

Hi.
I'm back again :weary: :weary:

Error everywhere.
I am working on a project using Django, and unfortunately my python version doesn't allow me to install django-filter.

I had to uninstall the already version (3.9) to a lower version (3.7). And now I'm unable to install Django on this new version, not to talk of continue my project anymore.

Any help will be appreciated pease. Thanks house.

[opaque rivet]

did you setup CORS headers?

[formal gull]

i did not. it is working on one machine which is weird to me.

[opaque rivet]

django-filter support python 3.9?

https://pypi.org/project/django-filter/

[opaque rivet]

well, you should - if you're making any requests from your frontend (given that it's a different origin from your backend, and if it's running on another port - it will be) you have to setup cors.

[chilly totem]

It doesn't

[opaque rivet]

https://pypi.org/project/django-cors-headers/

[formal gull]

okay ill look into this. it is working on a different machine from the origin. its running off of a VPS

[opaque rivet]

press the link on pypi, it does

[formal gull]

ill read through that though and do it 👍

thanks

[chilly totem]

Is this recently updated?
Because, I still checked yesterday and discovered it's not supported on version 3.9

[chilly totem]

Yeah. I just did and I see that it do supports it. The screenshot I shared above was taken in my research yesterday

[opaque rivet]

apart from that I would just say reset your virtual environment & reinstall dependancies

[chilly totem]

I'm even more confused now, because I uninstalled the version 3.9 and installed 3.7 already. Now I'm unable to install Django less proceed on my work 😩 🤦

[chilly totem]

I don't seem to understand this. Could you provide a resource to walk me through on how to please

guys do someone knows why selenium doesnt really work if you dont look at it (if i dont scoll down manually it doesnt work)

[formal gull]

im getting it to work while on incognito on the work computer. any thoughts on that?

but not on a normal browser

ill try and clear cookies etc. but im confused lol

that did it i guess

[opaque rivet]

your browser may have CORS turned off - I don't know, but if you do not implement CORS your frontend will not be able to communicate with your backend given that they are on different ports.

[formal gull]

well they arent currently running on different ports. is that the best practice for running react + django is to serve them separately? im currently having django point to the react html and running it that way.

[opaque rivet]

I don't know much in terms of deployment. I am moving towards SSR w/ django/react with next.js

[formal gull]

alright gotcha. ill do more research into that. im kind of just trying to learn everything there is and just getting through my first small project on web dev so

thanks 🙂

Does anyone know how to get live reload to work for Jinja templates? I have debug mode enabled. if I make a Python change, then it automatically reload. I am unable to get it working for Jinja templates. I know I can do the refresh myself, but I really need live reload

[dawn heath]

do I really need django-celery-beats, and results?

[opaque rivet]

you can set up periodic tasks without them I believe, just using django-celery

in celery settings you can specify the tasks you want on the beat

then run a beat / worker

[dawn heath]

Django-celery-beats, results is just django backed ORM, but if I setup simple without them. Where will it save?

Patient = Patient.query.first() 
        for i in Patient:
            if i.name not in i:
                a = Totalpatient() 
                a.count += 1
                db.session.add(a) 
            else:
                a.count += 0 ```

Why is this TypeError: argument of type 'Patient' is not iterable

[past cipher]

maybe because the model is also called Patient ?

maybe try a = Patient.query as a test

[terse vapor]

u mean the Totalpatient model?

[past cipher]

then try print (type(patient))

[terse vapor]

ok

[past cipher]

and i don't know, if your Totalpatient model is called that, it should be Patient = Totalpatient.query

[terse vapor]

well, patient is about patient personal info, and totalpatient is just counter

[past cipher]

try what i suggested first, I think that could be the issue

[terse vapor]

the type is a list

[past cipher]

you have a class called Patient and you also have a variable called Patient

change the variable to smething else, it could be trying to loop through the class

[terse vapor]

ya, but im just using the loop to go over everything inside the model

to check if the new input exist in the db

[past cipher]

Yes I understand that. But how is the code supposed to know if you're looping through a class or a variable ? Have you tried to change the variable name ?

[terse vapor]

ok, understood

ok, it works with your instructions😃

I'm not familiar with forms in flask, but are you sure your jinja template is correct?

{%for error_msg in form.username.error%}

sure it's not form.username.errors ? do you actually need to loop over this?

I tried both ways

the loop and non looping method in jinja2

i can try errors

I have a question about Django REST Framework although it is more of a web-dev design question I think.

If I make an API using DRF what do I then do if I want to have a nice front-end that can be used for actions too?

i.e. I make a DRF API which allows CRUD operations and returns JSON data.

I now want to have nice html forms for some create/update actions and say a dashboard page which displays some tables/graphs using the data in the DB

Do I make parallel views which would presumably be very similar to some of the api endpoints for the forms?

same question I wonder
usually companies use React for a front

But I am not ready to learn react yet,
so I'll try to make it fully from Django
perhaps JQuery could be what I need in order to do it nice

Hello there I am new to flask and python and I am trying create a very simple flask api with json data, and this is my code.

@app.route("/data/<string:alpha_code>",  methods=["GET"])
def about(alpha_code):
    response = None
    with open(os.path.join("data.json"), "r") as jsonfile:
        file_data = json.loads(jsonfile.read())
        json_data = json.dumps(file_data)
        for item in json_data:
            for key, value in item.dict().items():
                print(key, value)
    return response

And this is my data (list of dicts)

[
    {
        "alpha_code":"US",
        "country":"United States",
        "domain":"acu.edu",
        "name":"Abilene Christian University",
        "web_page":"http://www.acu.edu/"
    }
]
# multiple dicts

And I am getting an error : AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'items'

Please can anyone help me with this ??

I don't know a first thing abouth flask but it looks like you're trying to open file in reading mod and then write your json to it.

[Q] FLASK + database:
I can retrieve successfully some data from database and show it in html document. However, in my database I have a field with TEXT, and there is a line like "Hello \nWorld \t". Problem is that it shows in html data without these new lines and tabulators. And I need them to show certain description with those new lines, new paragraphs etc. How to do it in html jinja2?
Example:

1. Data in database:
   ("Vit C", "\tVery Healthy\nIt is important for immune system\n")
2. HTML jinja:
   {{ data[1]|safe }}
3. Result:
   Very Healthy It is importnant for immune system

EXPECTED:
Very Healthy
It is important for immune system

P.S: Funny thing is that in INSPECT ELEMENT mode, description is printed correctly, however in my html you cannot see these new lines, tabulators etc. wow?

[inland oak]

Django models.CharField has uselss __doc__
is it possible to override it?

self.__doc__ = str(self.field.__repr__())

with something that has better __repr__ inside of it

With DRF you create API views. When a request hits the endpoint, it is routed to that view. So you can create a seperate frontend (say, in React) and send a request to your API view which will then return JSON data - which your frontend can consume.

[shy flower]

Sorry if i am interjecting...

Is it OK to default to using

SECRET_KEY = getenv("SECRET_KEY",'<redacted>')

for production use? Asking with respect to Django. And are there any other methods to keep the SECRET_KEY out of VCS?

[inland oak]

super secure choice

import secrets
SECRET_KEY = os.environ.get("SECRET_KEY") or secrets.token_hex(32)

generates random secret key every time you start your application)

unless you specified one in environment

[shy flower]

Can I use this for any and all projects or is this suited to only specific situations ?

[inland oak]

shrugs
it works for everything

but in some situations you would need somehow to specify
that you have the same SECRET_KEY in deployment
and not everytime changing

[opaque rivet]

would that invalidate CSRF tokens that were set before your server restarted? with an old secret key?

[inland oak]

mm, highly probably yes.

[shy flower]

Incase the environment variable is set then no

[inland oak]

you can specify stable key from env anyway
then it would not be a problem

[shy flower]

Thank you @inland oak !

So I have to use a JS framework. Is there a way to do the same just using Django? I really can't be arsed with learning JS for a personal project haha

[opaque rivet]

You don't need to use a JS framework, but it's recommended. Using plain HTML you can create a form which sends a POST request to your API view, but you're pretty limited without JS

[idle karma]

Limited in what way?

Would you not do something like call the DRF endpoint from within a regular django view?

[opaque rivet]

e.g. you don't have any access to JS libraries, you can't change DOM in an efficient way. You don't have as much control

[idle karma]

Right. But why do you need that is my question I guess

[opaque rivet]

you can make a request to your endpoint, sure, but I don't see why you would do that from another view

[jade reef]

Hello there I am getting a key error in flask. Basically I sending a patch request with optional arguments.
code :

 if request.method == "PATCH":
        request_data = request.get_json()
        # alpha_code = request_data["alpha_code"]
        # country = request_data["country"]
        # domain = request_data["domain"]
        # name = request_data["name"]
        # web_page = request_data["web_page"]

        response = None
        with open(os.path.join("data.json"), "r") as jsonfile:
            universities = json.loads(jsonfile.read())
            for university in range(len(universities)):
                if universities[university]["name"].replace(" ", "").lower() == university_name.replace(" ", "").lower():
                    response = universities[university]

                    # if request_data["alpha_code"]:
                    response["alpha_code"] = request_data["alpha_code"]
                    # if request_data["country"]:
                    response["country"] = request_data["country"]
                    # if request_data["domain"]:
                    response["domain"] = request_data["domain"]
                    # if request_data["name"]:
                    response["name"] = request_data["name"]
                    # if request_data["web_page"]:
                    response["web_page"] = request_data["web_page"]

        return jsonify(response)

Python is giving me this error = response["alpha_code"] = request_data["alpha_code"]
KeyError: 'alpha_code'

Basically saying this key doesnt exist. Since I am not sending it from front end

{
        "country":"TEST"
}```
How can I make it accept optional request params ??

[idle karma]

@opaque rivet
Perhaps I'm not explaining very well. In my head I would have endpoints like so:

POST api/tasks :creates a task

mysite.com/tasks - GET lists tasks
mysite.com/tasks/create - GET displays form, POST submits form and then redirects back to mysite.com/tasks on success

And basically the stuff at mysite.com/tasks seems like it's largely just replicating the api behaviour no? So I was wondering if there is a good way to leverage that

[opaque rivet]

Yeah I'm not fully understanding what the question here. They're all valid API endpoints (with the exception of mysite.com/tasks/create). There really isn't anything different than a standard view or an API endpoint, it's just that your API endpoints are should be RESTful: https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/03/02/best-practices-for-rest-api-design/

[wispy quail]

a try catch is the most basic sol. use if if you know when each param will be sent

[opaque rivet]

If you don't plan on having a seperate frontend, or do not plan on making individual requests from your frontend, just use views

[jade reef]

Okay will try that thanks

[idle karma]

What do you mean by "making individual requests"?

I'd like to be able to POST a JSON to /api/tasks OR to fill in an HTML form which would create an object

[opaque rivet]

Literally, making a request from your frontend if you want to retrieve data to display (usually in an AJAX fashion)

[opaque rivet]

sure, so what is the question?

POST api/tasks :creates a task

mysite.com/tasks - GET lists tasks

These 2 can be APIs, the other one is a view

[idle karma]

I guess my question was how would you get the form page\

I could use a modelform with Django for example to generate an html form which had all the right fields

I really don't want to have to write any JS

[opaque rivet]

So you want to show a form with pre-filled fields?

[idle karma]

Erm, for an update I guess?

But if you're navigating to a page to create a new task it wouldn't be pre-filled

It would just have empty fields right

[opaque rivet]

Yeah so your question "how would you get the form page" would just be rendering a template with a form and on submission making an API request to your endpoint

[idle karma]

Ok. And that is an acceptable way of doing things?

[nimble dawn]

What is API

[opaque rivet]

yep!

<form method="post" action="your_endpoint">...</form>

[idle karma]

Ah but now that endpoint would just return JSON...

[opaque rivet]

yep - API endpoints should only be returning that anyways.

[idle karma]

But if someone is submitting a form in the browser they don't want to get JSON back haha

[opaque rivet]

well yeah - and that's why I said that APIs are meant for separate front-ends. To be honest this all can just be written in one view, or if you really want to opt for another endpoint, just get that endpoint to save whatever in the DB then have you view reroute your user once the form is submitted.

[idle karma]

Honestly maybe I am overthinking this

Perhaps it is acceptable to basically have the behaviour of some of the endpoints under mysite.com/api/tasks replicated by the views serving the html pages at mysite.com/tasks?

I just thought that since that would mean there were two separate means of performing CRUD operations then it would be incorrect

[opaque rivet]

Yes, just replicate it within the views. It's not a bad thing that one view can handle both GET, POST, etc.

[jade reef]

Does anyone know how to create a paginated API in flask ??

[terse vapor]

[lavish prism]

Hey @whole kayak!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.xml). We currently allow the following file types: .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .png, .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .webm, .webp, .flac, .m4a.

Feel free to ask in #community-meta if you think this is a mistake.

[whole kayak]

bruh .xml is not allowed

bruh

[terse vapor]

lol

[whole kayak]

welp to paste bin ai go

i get this (https://pastebin.com/du7fFEw7) as a api output
as you can see it is xml but when i pipe it into ET.fromstring(f'{xml.read()}') (xml is a output from os.popen which i use to query the api)
but i get this error Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\walke\OneDrive\Desktop\trash nation states bot\bot.py", line 24, in <module> print(NS.getIssues('password','walksanator','useragent')) File "C:\Users\walke\OneDrive\Desktop\trash nation states bot\bot.py", line 21, in getIssues xmlo = ET.fromstring(f'{xml.read()}') File "C:\Program Files\Python39\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py", line 1348, in XML return parser.close() xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: no element found: line 1, column 0

    def getIssues(password,nation,userAgent):
        xml = os.popen(f'powershell -Command .\\TopIssue.ps1 "{password}" "{userAgent}" "{nation}"')
        print(xml.read())
        xmlo = ET.fromstring(f'{xml.read()}')
        return(xmlo)```
here is the function

and here is the powershell script (incase you need it)

$url = "https://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/api.cgi?nation=" + $args[2] + "&q=issues"
$xml = curl -Headers @{"X-Password" = $args[0]} -UserAgent $args[1] $url -UseBasicParsing
[xml]$pxml = $xml.Content
[xml]$a = $pxml.nation.issues.OuterXml
echo $a.innerXml```

(i am working on a discord bot to play nation states)

if i can get this to parse right

any idea why ET is unable to parse it

[jade reef]

Is it possible to paginate json data (locally stored in a .json file) in Flask ? I am looking online and every tutorial is using a built paginate() from the database ORM. Can anyone explain the entire concept of paginated API in a nutshell ?

[native tide]

can some one explain me what does this module dou py import parse_qs and what does this mean ```py
index = parse_qs(self.path[3:])['index'][0]

[whole kayak]

google it

[whole kayak]

Parse a query string given as a string argument (data of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded). Data are returned as a dictionary. The dictionary keys are the unique query variable names and the values are lists of values for each name.

The optional argument keep_blank_values is a flag indicating whether blank values in percent-encoded queries should be treated as blank strings. A true value indicates that blanks should be retained as blank strings. The default false value indicates that blank values are to be ignored and treated as if they were not included.

The optional argument strict_parsing is a flag indicating what to do with parsing errors. If false (the default), errors are silently ignored. If true, errors raise a ValueError exception.

The optional encoding and errors parameters specify how to decode percent-encoded sequences into Unicode characters, as accepted by the bytes.decode() method.

The optional argument max_num_fields is the maximum number of fields to read. If set, then throws a ValueError if there are more than max_num_fields fields read.

The optional argument separator is the symbol to use for separating the query arguments. It defaults to &.

Use the urllib.parse.urlencode() function (with the doseq parameter set to True) to convert such dictionaries into query strings.

Changed in version 3.2: Add encoding and errors parameters.

Changed in version 3.8: Added max_num_fields parameter.

Changed in version 3.9.2: Added separator parameter with the default value of &. Python versions earlier than Python 3.9.2 allowed using both ; and & as query parameter separator. This has been changed to allow only a single separator key, with & as the default separator.```

[distant trout]

first part returns a slice of a list

from 4th index to last

['index'][0] this accesses the element index in the list and [0] accesses the 0th element of the index

[naive rock]

How can someone tell if a website would stop/prevent you from web scrapping?

[frozen abyss]

Depends what you want. But I like Streamlit for a quick, sexy dashboard. For anything more technical / custom, check out Plotly

[frozen abyss]

I found this vid really useful for grasping Streamlit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ESc1bh3eIg

What's everyone's favourite free wireframing app?

[naive rock]

Are there cases where a company would be ok if someone web scrapped them?
We work with a company. We asked them for some data. They asked us for our FTP credentials, so they can give us that data. We dont have an FTP server, so I was thinking of web scrapping their website. But I know companies dont like it when someone web scraps their website.

Problem is they would have our ip address and we have to login to see that data. So when I create a web crawler they would know it's us.

[formal gull]

does anyone know if there would be a way to get around a max amount of responses from this request? https://stores.boldapps.net/front-end/get_surrounding_stores.php?shop=meat-church.myshopify.com&latitude=27.6445079&longitude=-80.4048306&max_distance=0&limit=1000000&calc_distance=1 i am needing to get all of the results they have. if not ill just end up picking random locations that captures at least most, but not all of them basically i guess.

it looks like it is capped at 1000

[terse vapor]

nvm, i solved it

[naive rock]

there must be some sort of pagination or offset, that would show you the next 1000 results

[formal gull]

not sure how to even try to do that tbh. i tried changing the limit in the URL and it only works up to 1000

i know i could get a rough list by picking out different lat/long and going around the map and getting most and getting rid of duplicates but im trying to learn if there is a better way of doing it through the API

[naive rock]

If an api has a max limit of how many items it returns per request, then you cant exceed that.

[formal gull]

alright thanks. looks like rough list it is

[naive rock]

Yeah, this is the part where if a company has good documentation, it's fun. But if they have bad documentation, you just have to do a lot of exploration on your own.

[frozen abyss]

If they are happy to send you the data, I can imagine they'd be happy for you to scrape the data. If you can otherwise have access to it (by logging in), I think web scraping should be fine. The issue comes when you're spamming their server with requests. If you're doing that, that's going to piss them off. But anyway, I'd simply ask them for permission to scrape the data.

[distant trout]

what exactly is the job of a devops person?
managing aws/firebase and deployment stuff?

[vestal hound]

devops is built around the idea that software development and deployment should be frequent, efficient, and automated.

so basically building a good pipeline

[distant trout]

ahh i see. also what does "pipeline" exactly mean?

[vestal hound]

ideally, when you want to deploy, it should take just one command

and that will run all your tests

take care of any infrastructure setup

notifications

monitoring

etc.

that’s the pipeline.

[distant trout]

ahh that makes more sense, thank you

[distant trout]

ooo that seems like a handy gif to bookmark

[inland oak]

To be automated as possible
To run every hour

Or even to run completely automated every minute, by trigger from submitted commit (in master branch for example?)

I have automated deploy script
In gitlab
That builds my sphinx documentation
And puts to gitlab pages

[distant trout]

lets say if there wasn't anything new being changed, would the automation still go through?

[inland oak]

And checkers, which run unit tests, lint checkers, build/dependency checkers

[distant trout]

for the automation scripts you use cron jobs?

[inland oak]

Github/Gitlab pipline runners
Online and self hosted
Those I already used

Systems like TravisCi, circle ci

[distant trout]

ohhh, so it checks for commits to your master branch, thats when the automation takes place

[inland oak]

Basically yeah.
Commit is submitted
Triggers job tasks and puts to queue
Runner checks available jobs and runs them as soon as possible (often in parallel if possible)

Deploy to production is usually separated, to be triggered manually

Deploy to test server can be fully automated

[distant trout]

ahh i see. this clarifies it for me a lot more. thank you

im gonna try it out and set it all up for one of my projects

[inland oak]

Useful for code reviews

[distant trout]

would you recommend gitlab or github for this

[inland oak]

Automated checkers check every pull request too

Easier to spot problems

[inland oak]

They are equally good, in my opinion

I liked gitlab slightly more, may be

[distant trout]

interesting. I'll play around with both

[inland oak]

Usually gitlhub/gitlab pipelines have no limits only for public repos
Or if you setup self hosted runner on your own server

I installed gitlab runner on mine, that was easy. Quickly integrated with my online repos, removed time limits for private pipelines

One self hosted runner can satisfy needs for a lot of private repos.
one runner can run jobs in multiple parallelism + queue

[distant trout]

ah i see. thank you for all this info btw, really useful

[inland oak]

U a welcome.

Btw, besides those things...
Devops should be good with docker/docker compose

Deploying with Ansible at the moment popular.

Most popular question to devops, if can they answer next question

Can someone recommend a great solution to hosting a FastAPI on multiple servers so the load can be balanced and if one goes down the other can still handle the requests?

This can be possible with Kubernetes for example

[distant trout]

oh. Yeah I have heard about Docker but haven't looked much into it. I'll research more about Docker.

It seems like my code will restart the counter(4 weeks) every time I refresh the page, so is there any way to prevent this happen?

Hi all - I’ve been building ImagineAI, a free low code platform aimed at engineers - basically, you would simply specify your backend project spec in our UI and we instantly generate high quality, production-ready source code, including 100% unit test coverage, based on the spec (we are initially supporting Django and Node). We have no lock-in, so you can download the source code and customize as you wish.

This way you can save time on writing boilerplate code for things like ORM, APIs (in Rest or GraphQL), Auth etc and can focus on writing custom business logic.

We are releasing a closed beta version of this tool in mid-May. Are there any backend / full stack product engineers here who would be interested in this? If yes, I’d love to connect here via DM or via [e-mail], and can include you in our our beta release!

I can retrieve successfully some data from database and show it in html document. However, in my database I have a field with TEXT, and there is a line like "Hello \nWorld \t". Problem is that it shows in html data without these new lines and tabulators. And I need them to show certain description with those new lines, new paragraphs etc. How to do it in html jinja2?
Example:

1. Data in database:
   ("Vit C", "\tVery Healthy\nIt is important for immune system\n")

2. HTML jinja:
   {{ data[1]|safe }}

3. Result:
   Very Healthy It is importnant for immune system

EXPECTED:
Very Healthy
It is important for immune system

P.S: In INSPECT ELEMENT mode I can see that text is printed as it supposed to be (so new lines and tabulators appears), but in html its not displayed properly. wow?

[pseudo marsh]

Yeah that didn't work

Already tried that

[serene prawn]

\t and \n symbols are safe, so you should probably sanitize your string before saving it into your database or after retrieving it from db

e.g. replacing \t and \n with spaces

dear all,

good day,

i learn python langauge but i need to make web application using python anybody can suggest or help me for making this web aap...?

[serene prawn]

@cloud bone Again, it depends on what kind of web app you want to build

[livid kiln]

I'm having a great time with streamlit to avoid html, css, routing etc. https://streamlit.io/

[cloud bone]

Thank you for your response …! I want to make like spend income tracker and organization like a bank details and user management...!

[serene prawn]

I would use Django if you want to render things on server side or FastAPI for api's

[livid kiln]

Streamlit is very lightweight, so depending on the complexity of your application I would perhaps go for Django

[serene prawn]

Streamlit is an open-source Python library that makes it easy to create and share beautiful, custom web apps for machine learning and data science.
Not quite the use case

[serene prawn]

FastAPI still can render Jinja templates but Django would be easier to pick up 🤔

[cloud bone]

ok so i need to learn now django fremwork for building my web aap.?

[serene prawn]

Yes, but it depends 🤔

As i said FastAPI would be better for api's

You would have to learn one of them anyway

[cloud bone]

according to my research django is famous fremwork.

[cloud bone]

This is also good but django is most famous and can find more tutorials. Thank you for recommendation.

[opaque rivet]

@terse vapor has to be stored in a global variable (it will reset if the server resets)

[vestal hound]

it’s also rather outdated

if you want to do stuff like SSEs or async DB access you might have problems

shrugs

and in certain specific cases its ORM is lacking

[nimble dawn]

i have made a clock using css and js

now i want to add a timer function in it

i want to create a button that will change the clock to timer

how can i do taht

that

[serene prawn]

Django channels has a function to run queries asynchronously plus better async support might come in new releases 🤔

What uri paths should i use if i want to identify entity by two fields?
Say id and slug

[digital hinge]

Flask is simple and an easy library for web apps.

Anyone know how to create an AD authentication page with flask without a database being needed?

[serene prawn]

You can't really do auth without storing user info

Somewhere

Also i don't see a reason to use flask anymore

FastAPI is superior 😉

[digital hinge]

I guess I’ll have to use a Php connect method before being able to show the flask app.

[serene prawn]

Wdym by "php connect"

[digital hinge]

FastAPI is relatively new, the community is small compared to other frameworks, and regardless of its detailed documentation, there is very little external educational materials.

[serene prawn]

Documentation is really enough

You can use same tools you use with Flask

[digital hinge]

Php can carry out auth just from a bind no dB needed

[serene prawn]

Plus flask is much smaller compared to FastAPI

Wdym "no db needed"

How would you store user info

[digital hinge]

No database needed it just uses a lookup account and passes the authentication.

[serene prawn]

Where would it look up the accounts 😅

If there's no db

[digital hinge]

You don’t need to, it just an auth page I’m after so only certain access group can view it

[serene prawn]

Just where

[digital hinge]

http://www.nusphere.com/kb/phpmanual/function.ldap-bind.htm#:~:text=ldap_bind () does a bind operation on the,bind is attempted. Example 1. Using LDAP Bind

[night agate]

hey i had a small problem with my django here is

[serene prawn]

So basically another server...

[night agate]

if any one can give me a help

[serene prawn]

title shouldn't be null

[digital hinge]

The AD domain/LDAP server is seperate yes sorry, so authentication with the local sever in order to say yes or no to that person accessing the flask app.

[serene prawn]

Why won't you just authenticate them in flask?

So you would have more control over the process

Also making another php app seems like a bad design choice

[digital hinge]

@serene prawn https://soshace.com/integrate-ldap-authentication-with-flask/ so based on permissions it will or won’t launch the app based on user group.

[night agate]

i thing that the problem is here

[inland oak]

For API
Django can work great with plugin Django REST framework

[serene prawn]

title may be None

If it's not present in the request

[serene prawn]

DRF is really bad imo

[inland oak]

Huh

Fast API better?

[serene prawn]

Imo yes

[inland oak]

Shrugs. Good to know.
I will still prefer django though
Because it can work as not API too

May be later, fast api then

[serene prawn]

That's why i said for api's

And fastapi can work with templates too

[inland oak]

Admin interface is awesome ;b
Save a time to make tool for moderators in almost zero time

[serene prawn]

You don't usually use admin interface in production though

But admin is good

It's not a killer feature whatsoever

[inland oak]

DRF has interface too...
With self forming documentation
(Not really good solution though, better to add Sphinx for documentation)

[serene prawn]

FastAPI is based on OpenAPI

And drf docs are quite hard to make if you create any custom responses 🙂

[inland oak]

Yeah

Already encountered this problem

[night agate]

what this Django REST

can do ?

[serene prawn]

In fastapi you can just specify response model and that's it 🤔

Also custom input models 😅

[inland oak]

All right, giving up.
Fast API is cooler

[serene prawn]

🆒

[fierce wigeon]

Hi all! Can I ask here a question about Django? I didn't found specific channel on this

[serene prawn]

Sure do

[fierce wigeon]

Thanks. I'm Linux user, Ubuntu 20.10. When I want create a Media_root path, I have not the path that almost all site show, I mean os.path.join...but BASE_DIR / 'directory'. I don't know how to convert the code for selecting a specific folder, outside from project (what usually is writes like: os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'directory'.
Maybe something can help me solve this stupid problem? (I hope I explain good, English is not my native language)

[serene prawn]

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#media-root
MEDIA_ROOT should be a absolute path, you can try to use pathlib.Path and create Path object for directory you want
also you should be able to just spcify the string, like "/var/www/example.com/media/" as in docs

[fierce wigeon]

Thanks for the help @serene prawn

[dusty moon]

any free hosting services? (asking for a friend)

[terse vapor]

When the day pass, the for example, I add 2 patient in April 27, and the new patient in 27 should be 2, then, when it comes to April 28, it resets to 0 and starts to count again

[opaque rivet]

All this fastAPI talk... but in terms of corporate / jobs it is nowhere near the scale of django/flask.

[serene prawn]

But you can't deny that it's superior to flask 😉

[terse vapor]

pythonanywhere? or Gcloud https://realpython.com/python-web-applications/

[opaque rivet]

sounds like a task for cronjobs/celery

[past cipher]

I also tried: foreign_keys=['users.uuid', 'profile.id'] and db.foreign_keys=['users.uuid', 'profile.id']

[grizzled mirage]

Does someone of you have informations about falcon+restful api's in python?

Hello channel! Does anyone have experience serving React production build via Django?

I'm currently getting MIME type issues . wondering if anyone else has overcame this error

Here is some more detail about my problem if you are looking for more info: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67271401/how-to-correctly-serve-my-react-production-build-through-django-currently-havin

[topaz widget]

I don't know if this answers your question exactly, but I think if you're using a heavy frontend framework like React, you would probably want to use the Django REST Framework.

[nimble epoch]

you want to know how to use react with django?

[dawn heath]

I Have a question. do you store results in redis or postgresql for a task queue ? do I need to use the django extensions?

[nimble epoch]

django itself has models

[native tide]

Hey i have a super quick flask-related question

[nimble epoch]

true

[native tide]

return send_from_directory(file_path.split('/')[0], file_path.split('/')[1], mimetype="application/octet-stream", as_attachment=True, attachment_filename="grabber.exe", cache_timeout=0)

i'm trying to send an .exe file

to the client

[nimble epoch]

i used to use flask

[native tide]

it works, but when I open it on my pc, it says "Windows can't run this app"

[nimble epoch]

dont remember

[native tide]

What's a better alternative

[dawn heath]

i dont need to store tasks results, task scheduler on postgresql. I want to use redis

[nimble epoch]

so learn it

ive never used redis

[opaque rivet]

redis is just a key-value DB. What are you trying to do?

[opaque rivet]

https://github.com/celery/django-celery-results

where you store your task results is up to you, I myself haven't used it, so I'd appreciate if you let me know what you're using it for 👍 I don't really see the use case

[celest tundra]

can python be used to make websites

im new so i want to know

i sorta wanted to get into python since it looked so cool and easy compared to other languages and i wanted to know if it can be used to make stuff like websites

[stable hemlock]

Yes, it can, although you will need to know html/ccs at minimum, and probably use some Javascript.

[idle karma]

Is there a current preferred user login/auth library for Flask? The login example in the tutorial seems very basic, but I suppose it may be enough

[grim sorrel]

Hi everyone. I've come across a potential project where I will have to make a request to an API, get data back in JSON, format it, and generate some graphs from it. I am thinking of using Django for the backend and React.js and Chart.js for the front end. Has anyone ever used these in tandem with eachother for a similar project? If so, I'd like to chat and get some opinions.

[opaque rivet]

yep - I'm currently using django as an API w/ React using apexcharts. If you want some good financial charts, use fusiontime. I would use them but I'm using next.js / SSR and they're clientside libraries so it's a pain

[jade lark]

Django would work more than fine. You can build custom serializers (just with dictionaries) or if you're thinking you'll be doing more than a couple endpoints with more technical features I would recommend DRF (django rest framework). It's extremely powerful when used the way intended.

[grim sorrel]

Thanks! Do you know of any tutorials that walk through how to integrate django and react? I know django basics but this will be my first venture using React

also thank you as well, @opaque rivet

[jade lark]

If you haven't used React at all before I would recommend starting with that. Try making a list that you can add items to within state. I also recommend going straight for React hooks as it's easier than trying to understand classes as a beginner.

Try making a basic form that can submit data to the back end (don't do anything crazy yet).

For react the official docs is a good place to start: https://reactjs.org/

Other places are YouTube, and then look for high rated guides for both react/django together. Also for DRF go with the official docs as well.

[grim sorrel]

awesome! this will keep me busy tonight

thank you very much

[dawn heath]

I still dont understand correctly the workflow of celery - redis - postgresql , but I did an example of this simple crawling process in order to understand it in a better way , but #response means what I got stored in redis database https://github.com/SkyBulk/celery/blob/main/project/orders/tasks.py . what does exactly redis store as a message broker?

in this examples people use AMQP ,and redis or AMQP and postgresql, etc

[terse vapor]

ok, i will try

[native tide]

Other than Heroku, are there any services where I can easily deploy a Flask web application?
