[native tide]

so would this be good?

[inland oak]

every Django ORM object has unique key automatically created without any additional code lnes

hidden pk variable

[native tide]

ok so we dpn

don't need the uuidfield

[inland oak]

yup

[native tide]

ok

[inland oak]

pk stands for Primary Key

[native tide]

oh I'm aware, I used pk for another feature

then this makes urls easier too

since we can just add the pk when we view the class

wait

but then how would the user add the class

like we don't just want them to enter by name since we want people to be able to create the same class name

[inland oak]

err? Why would you wish them creating multiple same class names?

I thought Classes are going to be unique entities

[native tide]

no but for example let's say we have two users

[inland oak]

right

[native tide]

or like let's say we have two different class objects with the same name

that would cause issues right?

we want the user to be able to add based on a unique identifier that's static

[inland oak]

depends on if you set Name being unique or not.
But let me question you... what makes two Classes with same name, different from each other? Do they have some other param that makes them different?

[inland oak]

Well, it would be possible, sure.

So... in reality we can have multiple Classes with same Names. huh. Well it will not change our Tables thankfully.
We still keep the same logic, that one student can have many classes, and one same class can have a lot of students

the only thing is changed, we don't set Unique (constraint) to class name then (which we did not do anyway)

Hi All, Anyone know how to do HTML?

Having a really simple issue haha

Cant get a navbar to render proper

<ul> <li><a href="#home">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#news">News</a></li> <li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li> <li><a href="#about">About</a></li> </ul>

However it shows :

[dense slate]

That's just a list.

Seems to be working properly.

[brisk drum]

Someone knows a way to check when a php page gets a new content (i mean, this page posts news, when the news is posted i wanna see it from my output)
Ps: i'm not interested in web development or web scraping, i need this for a Job

[dense slate]

You'll need some kind of javascript - whether a framework or something like an ajax call with jquery or something along those lines.

[brisk drum]

If i have access to the database?

[dense slate]

Yes?

Either way.

You can do stuff client-side without a response from the server, but it still needs JS either way.

[brisk drum]

Ok so if I wanna do it automatically what i have to check from that database?

Uhm so JS is needed anyway

[dense slate]

Yup

[brisk drum]

Ok and what if i create some kind of loop which using web scraping checks the main news page and using some sort of data tracing i check if a new post appear to the news main page?

Technically for this i only need beautySoup

Am i right?

[dense slate]

Anything that updates your page without refreshing it will require javascript.

[mild wing]

Hey, I'm looking to make a sorting algorithm visualizer. I know some flask and a bit of js. I heard d3 would be good for animating, open to hear suggestions. I wanted to ask, is the whole process should be done with js only pretty much? Or is the "sorting" suppose to happen on server side using python? Just looking to get a general idea of the way I want to implement it

Never did any kind of data visualization really.. thanks

[brisk drum]

In that loop i will refresh, every tot mins i refresh the page, get the link which i'm interested in and check if there is something new

[dense slate]

Ok

[split snow]

Hello is someone online to help?

[native tide]

is there any way to remove a field from a model?

so for example, I have a field that I set like this: uuid = models.UUIDField(primary_key=False, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)

but whenever I delete it and try to run migrations, it gives the following error:

so I added UUID field, but I want to go back to the standard primary key system\

[inland oak]

if you don't need to be migrating prod data with it, which I assume you don't
I would advice just deleting manually all migrations from the folder, except for the file __init__.py, keep it.
and dropping database

i built a web dev project using nodejs and now as im in HS theyre asking me to build a project using python since it would be too much time consuming to rewrite the project from scratch
i am thinking of mitigating the node side to python
but im not experienced in python in any way could some1 help me with some general outlook on how i should start?
becoz node uses different libraries and whenever i try to do anything in python it just throws me an error

plz help

my projects due tomorrow

[inland oak]

rewriting from node.js to python frameworks in one day? Well, I think there is nothing in the world to help you with that

that sounds like a completely impossible timelines to do this task

[unborn badger]

anything might help

how do i create a server in python?

[inland oak]

how to get started with Flask framework
https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world

how to get started with Django framework
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/

[unborn badger]

i might be able to request an extension as well

[inland oak]

both instructions have answers for how to create servers too.

[unborn badger]

okay thanks

[inland oak]

Flask is more beginner friendly, but commercial choice would be Django, as it is much better and battery included

[unborn badger]

what might any other prerequisits for my system?

[inland oak]

mm

usually it is enough to have installed python 3.8 or 3.9

and matching python-venv version

[unborn badger]

wait letme explain how my project works

its a live news website

which when loaded calls an api and fetches data

then stores it in mongodb

and then iterates over it and display on the frontend using ejs

and nodejs as backend

any other prereqs for this project like some libraries or smth?

since tomorrow is the due date of the synopsis ill have to put the required resources in their as well

[inland oak]

python 3.9
python-venv (necessary to have local node_modules analog instead of installing libraries only globally)
black as linter is good
pytest as unit testing framework is good
you would need finding and installing library for your mongodb
people often use requests library, as the most comfortable choice... (axios analog)
scratching head
I would highly recommend djangorestframework as addition https://www.django-rest-framework.org/, it makes from Django more prod ready REST API

in order to deploy you would be needed to install python prod server, use at least gunicorn, don't use dev server.
people usually wrap the result into docker container.

[unborn badger]

ooookayy thanks a lot

i was thinking of hosting on mongod

like i did for node

i dont wish to host globally just on a local server

localhost 3k

[inland oak]

docker (docker-compose) is cool to host stuff locally

[unborn badger]

ohh okay

thanks

to be fair

i have zero knowledge of python as of now

ive never made a project on it before

except some loops

[inland oak]

well. I am in same shoes but for frontend.
I had at least a week of time for training holidays though

moving boldly to Vue.js eco system)

[unborn badger]

i am pretty cool with frontend since ive made a lot of practice projects

but backend pyt is prettyt horrifying

u could learn frontend in abt a week honestly

[inland oak]

I think i am already fearing nothing.
After going through backend and DevOps, walking through frontend looks quite easily.

[unborn badger]

and the frameworks make it almost too easy

nothings ever vanilla

[inland oak]

I already learned all the basics to perform the tasks in frontned in just one week. I already learn middle range stuff)

for more advanced things

[unborn badger]

ohh

wait let me share a video

[inland oak]

I hate videos)

[unborn badger]

of my current state of the project

[inland oak]

oh. sure)

i don't like only learning from videos

presenting is cool

[unborn badger]

wanna join vc?

[inland oak]

nah. I am currently at job in office.

[unborn badger]

cant talk tho i dont have a mic

oh ok

@inland oak

how is it @inland oak

i dont think ill be able to move the entire framework within a day

[inland oak]

blinded with amount of spoilers. going back to work.

[unborn badger]

oka

[wraith hedge]

hey guys I'm trying to POST a file and i keep getting SuspiciousFIleOperation in the method validate_file_name() here's the traceback: https://dpaste.org/UMeQ#L12 seems to occur when I call serializer.is_valid() can anyone give me some adivce?

[native tide]

what is the file?

[wraith hedge]

just a text file

i'm only passing a filename instead of a full path to upload_to on the model now and the error is gone

so yay i guess? 😉

[stark tartan]

Does instagram uses Django as back-end ??

[buoyant geode]

Hi can some one help me in renaming a model in django??

[native tide]

Hello I'm using django combined with Microsoft SQL Server and mssql-djangoso when I run python manage.py migrate after python manage.py makemigrations, I get the following error:

django.db.utils.IntegrityError: ('23000', "[23000] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.auth_permission' with unique index 'auth_permission_content_type_id_codename_01ab375a_uniq'. The duplicate key value is (4, view_user). (2601) (SQLExecDirectW)")

I know that it can be fixed removing the index associated to that column, but it's a sloppy way of solving that error and perhaps it will eventually generate new errors when django internally tries to access that particular table. Is there a better way of solving that error?
Thank you in advance, any help is very welcome

[inland oak]

auth_permission is your own table, or is it one of default auth tables?

[native tide]

it's one of the default tables that django creates when running python manage.py migrate

[inland oak]

uh. Googling "django.db.utils.IntegrityError: ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server"
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67078278/cannot-connect-django-to-sql-server
this person has answer how to solve
https://github.com/michiya/django-pyodbc-azure/issues/50
this person has exact answer why it happens

I would recommend to be just not using microsoft SQL server.

how about using good old PostgreSQL, or at least Maria DB?

PostgreSQL has the best Django compatibility i think

[native tide]

Yeah I will highly consider swapping from Microsoft SQLServer to another DBMS after reading those docs you provided above

The thing is that it's an ongoing project and it's almost everything done using Microsoft SQL Server. I recently join the project and I don't have the experience to propose that we should use another DBMS...😅

[inland oak]

short story told, due to incorrect SQL implementation in Microsoft SQL server, Django highly likely will never work correctly there 🤷‍♂️

[native tide]

I downgraded django and it works for now, let's see if the bandage works😅

Maybe I get another error sooner or later...

[inland oak]

there is alternative in using different ORM also, like SQLAlchemy, but then you will not use even 10% of Django abilities

considering incorrect SQL implementation of Microsoft SQL server, I would have avoided Microsoft servers though.

not the best thing to use for ORM ;b

[native tide]

Me too

Thank you!

[inland oak]

u a welcome. Other people would say though, that I am supposed to avoid ORMs 😉

and I think some people would say that both things should be avoided (ORM and Microsoft SQL servers ;b)

but lets less listen them, and code faster and more comfortable with awesome ORMs

[sour epoch]

hey folks! I need some help with a simple flask webapp that I can't get buttons to execute scripts on

if it matters, I am using ajax to dynamically display the status of a machine(if they are online or offline)
web.py

@app.route('/update', methods=['POST'])
def checkVMStatus():
    ...
        return jsonify('', render_template('status.html', x=vmStatus))
    ...
        return jsonify('', render_template('status.html', x=vmStatus))


@app.route('/', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def index():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        if request.form.get('submit_button') == 'Turn On':
            print("Turning On")
        elif  request.form.get('submit_button') == 'Turn Off':
            print("Turning Off")
    return render_template('index.html', x=vmStatus)

index.html

<form method="post" action="/"> 
        <input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="Turn On">
        <input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="Turn Off">
</form>

I've followed numerous threads recommending multiple variations of these snippets like this thread with no dice https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19794695/flask-python-buttons

I've been stuck here for the past hour with no resolution in sight

cheers in advance

[sour epoch]

fixed. frankly I have no clue how that happened but I came back to it after a break and it automagically worked

god I hate it when this happens..

[dusk portal]

hey

how can i create screen sharing

video sharing

platform at django

[native tide]

i guess you need to check out in the internet about WebRTC, cause as i know, it's the main method for creating applications with stream video

[unreal pier]

I am just wondering...If like there would be a webapp, what is loaded in on a users browser and another user edits something in that web app...I want that to the page update automatically.
If my explanation is not clear here is an example:
A student writes a test on a webapp but the teacher closes the test, so the student can't write the test anymore...it refreshed automatically.
So we can say the server pushed data to the loaded in site.
How would I achive this with flask?
I would send like a AJAX type request at every X sec to check if anythin changed...
OR
I shouls use somehow web sockets, and just listen to the socket and get data from there, and if update is there then update the web app
?
Or other thoughts? Maybe can anyone send a link for a video or article what explains something like this?
Thanks for the answers.

[fast briar]

I would say websockets

[unreal pier]

I found this on stackoverflow too:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12236019

I will look furder in these things if i get there. I was just wondering... 🤷‍♂️

whats wrong with this?

[steep pier]

One idea: Synchronize the clients PC with internet clock as well as hosts PC. Now Everytime user updates the input, let the program on client side add time stamp to the data.
Client PC might check after some long time to see if server has closed or not.
In any case it will send the data within acceptable time range. i.e. when the connection closes.
This will save bandwidth as compared to refreshing every 100 Ms.

[steep pier]

Just the key idea is to use time stamp instead of refreshing to see if the server allows incoming data or not.

hi guys, i want to pass usernames from my python file to html, can someone teach me how to do that in flask?

@app.route('/')
def home_page():
    return render_template('home.html',) ```

i know its something after home.html but im not really sure what to pass in there

[frank shoal]

doing render_template("zzz.html", xxx=yyy) will make the variable xxx be available in the template zzz.html

[spiral blaze]

do i just pass my class in there?

like ```@app.route('/homepage')
@app.route('/')
def home_page():
return render_template('home.html', User=user)

sorry for the friend request by the way, felt like you were the most reliable person for flask

[frank shoal]

xxx=yyy is what is known as a kwarg

!kwarg

[lavish prism]

*args and **kwargs

These special parameters allow functions to take arbitrary amounts of positional and keyword arguments. The names args and kwargs are purely convention, and could be named any other valid variable name. The special functionality comes from the single and double asterisks (*). If both are used in a function signature, *args must appear before **kwargs.

Single asterisk
*args will ingest an arbitrary amount of positional arguments, and store it in a tuple. If there are parameters after *args in the parameter list with no default value, they will become required keyword arguments by default.

Double asterisk
**kwargs will ingest an arbitrary amount of keyword arguments, and store it in a dictionary. There can be no additional parameters after **kwargs in the parameter list.

Use cases
• Decorators (see !tags decorators)
• Inheritance (overriding methods)
• Future proofing (in the case of the first two bullet points, if the parameters change, your code won't break)
• Flexibility (writing functions that behave like dict() or print())

See !tags positional-keyword for information about positional and keyword arguments

[frank shoal]

xxx=yyy becomes kwargs={'xxx': yyy} inside the function.

with jinja, you would reference the variable via {{ xxx }}

[dusk portal]

we're building screen share n video share part of an web-app but it seems django wont handle these me n @dapper rapids r trying from last 3-4 hours + we have used WebRTC also but seems it wont help

[spiral blaze]

i must have to say, this kwags and args thing is quite confusing

[frank shoal]

think of them as extra arguments.

[spiral blaze]

oh wait, i can just do current_user.name?

[unreal pier]

Ohh I see, okay. Thanks!

hey. im using an Application Factory in Flask and i keep finding my self bumping into the problem of needing access to the app instance. first it was the database. now its logging. im using blueprints, wtforms, and peewee. at first i refactored the database so that the Application Factory could handle initialization of the database as the docs recommend. the docs state that i should not need access to flask.Flask.app_context, flask.current_app, or flask.current_app._get_current_object. I know that current_app is a werkzeug.local.LocalProxy instance and that interacting with it in any way raises an exception in Flask. I know that importing an app is discouraged to prevent recursive imports. how do i access logging in other parts of my web app? what am i missing here?

[native tide]

def viewClass(request, pk):
    classes=ClassesAndStudents.objects.filter(Class.id=pk)
    return render(request, 'class/viewClass.html', {'classes': classes})

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User


# Create your models here.

class Class(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    upload = models.ImageField(null=True)
class ClassesAndStudents(models.Model):
    student = models.ForeignKey(User,null=True, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)
    Class = models.ForeignKey(Class,null=True, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)

I have this view and these models, I want to filter by the primary key of the class object within classes and students

how do I do that?

when I run the code that I have currently, it outputs: keyword can't be an expression

like I want to get all classesandstudents objects which have a class id of pk

[native tide]

I got it

[dense slate]

The variable needs to be lowercase and I'm pretty sure naming it Class is going to conflict

[native tide]

that's not the issue I believe, if you name it a keyword, you have to access it's id using two underscores rather than .

so using Class__id=pk worked

[dense slate]

Class = models.ForeignKey worked? 🤔

[native tide]

anyone familiar with django rest framework?

class DossierSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    utilisateur = UserSerializer()
    agent_de_terrain = UserSerializer()
    agent_de_bureau = UserSerializer()

    def create(self, validated_data):
        return Dossier.objects.create(
            utilisateur=User.objects.get(username=validated_data['utilisateur']['username']),
            etat=validated_data['etat'],
            agent_de_terrain=User.objects.get(username=validated_data['agent_de_terrain']['username']),
            agent_de_bureau=User.objects.get(username=validated_data['agent_de_bureau']['username']),
            date_de_envoie=validated_data['date_de_envoie'],
            date_de_recepisse=validated_data['date_de_recepisse']
        ).save()

    class Meta:
        model = Dossier
        fields = [
            'id',
            'utilisateur',
            'etat',
            'agent_de_terrain',
            'agent_de_bureau',
            'date_de_envoie',
            'date_de_recepisse',
            'ajoute_le',
            'modifie_le'
        ]

im posting data but it returns 400 bad request as some fields already exists. i dont want to create those

[shut bloom]

Which kind of picture you have used in pp and asking for help

Reported you

[native tide]

yes

it wouldn't work if it was lower case

[dense slate]

That doesn't make any sense.

Generally in Python, variables are lowercase. If it doesn't work as lowercase, there's something wrong with the name.

[native tide]

no class is a keyword

so we wouldn't be able to name the field that at all

lowercase class is a keyword

[dense slate]

Right, it's reserved.

[native tide]

but uppercase Class isn't

[dense slate]

Well, use whatever you want but I would recommend finding better variable names.

[native tide]

I have a model, when creating an instance of a model, is there any way to check if that object has already been created

[native tide]

oh I know now

[dense slate]

Check it exists in the database?

[native tide]

yeah

[dense slate]

You can use .exists()

Just lookup how to use it

Or you can try to .get() it, and if it fails you know it doesn't exist.

and handle it in the exception.

what's the error?

[native tide]

def addClass(request):
    classes=Class.objects.all()
    if(request.POST):
        check=ClassesAndStudents.objects.all()
        data=request.POST
        for i in check:
            if(i.student==request.user and i.Class==data['class']):
                return redirect('classes')
        userandclass = ClassesAndStudents.objects.create(
            student=request.user,
            Class=Class.objects.get(id=data['class'])
        )
        return redirect('classes')
    ctx={'classes': classes}
    return render(request, 'class/addClass.html', ctx)

this is how I'm doing it right now, would this not work?

[dense slate]

const click?

[native tide]

so I'm trying to see if there's a classesandstudents object that has the same student and class that we just got and redirect otherwise and it's not working

[dense slate]

I dunno, does it do what you need it to?

[native tide]

no, a new classesandstudents object is created

even when the user and the class are the same

[dense slate]

Right, so see how .exists() is used.

And work it in.

Probably needs to be declared as a const or function.

Like I wrote above, const click

or function click

You need to declare it.

[native tide]

This

[dense slate]

so doesn't it need to be var click, function, click, or const click?

My JS is not as strong and I generally work in React, but anytime I see that error, I forgot to put const or whatever in front of the function name.

[dense slate]

Going to need some more info. What fields exist? What's the full error.

[native tide]

utilisateur is the field that exists

Full error is: 400 bad request {"utilisateur": {"username": ["an user already exists with this name"]}}

[dense slate]

So it looks like you have a user with the username you are trying to use in the form.

You don't want it to care?

[native tide]

Yes

[native tide]

Yes

[dense slate]

Is username your projects login credential?

It's likely set to unique=True

[native tide]

It is my login credential but its not the only field with this same error

[dense slate]

Ok well you'll need to find where and why it cares that it needs a unique value.

[native tide]

What i want is: posting data and if data already exists fill it with the existen data

[dense slate]

Ah

But if it doesn't exist, create new?

[native tide]

Yes

[dense slate]

Ok then you need a conditional statement that basically checks if the user exists, then, if so update and save, if not do then create the new one.

what was it?

[native tide]

How do i update

[dense slate]

Get the object, set the variables to whatever you want, and .save() it.

Good opportunity to lookup how to update an object

[native tide]

Still same error

I tried this:

user = User.objects.get(username=validated_data['utilisateur']['username'])
user.save()

Dossier.objects.create(
    utilisateur=user
)

[dense slate]

show the whole code

[native tide]

@dense slate

[dense slate]

So did you change anything?

I saw that code already.

[native tide]

Yes i added this

[dense slate]

That's the whole code?

Show the whole new code.

[native tide]

Ok one sec

[native tide]

class DossierSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    utilisateur = UserSerializer()
    agent_de_terrain = UserSerializer()
    agent_de_bureau = UserSerializer()

    def create(self, validated_data):
        user = User.objects.get(username=validated_data['utilisateur']['username'])
        user.save(force_update=True)
        return Dossier.objects.create(
            utilisateur=user,
            etat=validated_data['etat'],
            agent_de_terrain=User.objects.get(username=validated_data['agent_de_terrain']['username']),
            agent_de_bureau=User.objects.get(username=validated_data['agent_de_bureau']['username']),
            date_de_envoie=validated_data['date_de_envoie'],
            date_de_recepisse=validated_data['date_de_recepisse']
        ).save()

    class Meta:
        model = Dossier
        fields = [
            'id',
            'utilisateur',
            'etat',
            'agent_de_terrain',
            'agent_de_bureau',
            'date_de_envoie',
            'date_de_recepisse',
            'ajoute_le',
            'modifie_le'
        ]

it tries to create an user instead of getting and inserting with the existen user

[dense slate]

So where's your if statement...

[native tide]

i just want to it to insert with the existen user instead of creating a new user

[dense slate]

But then you return with creating a new object right after.

[native tide]

What should i do?

I want to create the Dossier object

[dense slate]

I did mention to try a conditional statement.

[native tide]

Its the utilisateur thats making the error

[dense slate]

hey i need some help, cause my html (with flask) script do not send a post request when i press a button but i dont know how, pls dm for script^^

[native tide]

It finally worked omg

Wasted a day on this bug

[dense slate]

What did you end up doing?

[finite wagon]

ive started to learn js
but im not sure the path i shld take while learning
like do i have to learn es6 after learning basics? or node? and then what
wb uh stuff like angular or react native?
what even are they
like i kinda know but i dont know
and should i learn ts?

[frank shoal]

They're nice to know. es6 is important, but most tools will warn you when you do something wrong.

Yes, learn ts

Ts makes you aware of the types. You can even use ts in regular js via jsdoc

[finite wagon]

is es6 like pep8 or am i lost

[frank shoal]

Es6 is version 6 of JavaScript

[finite wagon]

so like a es6 tutorial = up to date js tutorial

[frank shoal]

Formally ECMA6

Yes.

[finite wagon]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ty

wb node?

[frank shoal]

The latest version of node supports esnext

[finite wagon]

now what is esnext 😩

[frank shoal]

Which is the next version of JavaScript

[finite wagon]

oh

oh wait i meant

[frank shoal]

Not to be confused with next

[finite wagon]

uh

👍

are stuff like react like packages?

or libraries

or modules

[frank shoal]

Yes.

[finite wagon]

like tkinter in py?

[frank shoal]

Yes

[finite wagon]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[jaunty depot]

hey guys
I've been learning WTForms in order to implement a user logging function into my site
I created the site before I got into WTForms, that's why I created my own input forms etc
following every tutorial on that I see people do "{{ forms.field }}" in html file when they don't have any form tags in their html files

I have mine which I wouldn't like to erase, I just need to link the corresponding fields to the ones in routes
how do I do that?
what I mean is:

I have this snippet in my index.py file

    class LoginForm(FlaskForm):
    email = StringField(validators=[InputRequired(), Email()])
    password = PasswordField(validators=[InputRequired(), Length(min=6, max=20)])
    submit = SubmitField()

@app.route("/login", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
    form = LoginForm()
    return render_template('login.html', form=form)```

and this in login.html
```Html
  <form class="formentry" method="POST" autocomplete="off">
    <!-- {{ form.hidden_tag() }} -->
    <div>
        <div class="greenthingytop"></div>
        <input id="useremail" class="inputentry" name="email" type="email" placeholder=" " />
        <label style="top: 20%" class="labelentry" for="useremail">Enter email address</label>
    </div>
</form>```

how do I link them without erasing my form tag and putting instead {{ form.email }} etc?

I have already css file styling this form and all inputs and labels in it, I wouldn't like to lose it

I read on WTForms docu that puttin "form.field(class_="text_blob")" would render "<input type="text" name="field_name" value="blah" class="text_blob" id="field_name" />" in return

so I made Python {{ form.email(id_="useremail" class_="inputentry" name_="email" type_="email" placeholder_=" ") }} but it didn't work

my site crashed and the error it gave me was "jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ',', got 'class_'"

after checking various issues like mine I couldn't find a solution to my problem. Others had error caused by typos, I almost sure I don't have those

Anyone know of a RPC listener, I need to setup a server that will capture ANY RPC calls and save them. At the moment, I am trying to work out an API but i have no idea what the calls are. Anyone have any tips here? New to this stuff.

[warm igloo]

Uh .. what do you mean @digital hinge ?

You want to create an RPC server of your own to capture calls and save them?

Certainly not that you want to create something that listens to all RPC calls on a network even if it isn't the target of them, right?

Have you looked at rpyc? Seems like it'd have everything you'd want.

[digital hinge]

There is an application that sends this unique API everytime it saves, I need to capture that information so i can work out how to then continue to write the programs. Unfortunately they dont provide much information beyond that they just say have a server that

I have html where I can add an event, but I want to be able to delete and edit that event, how can I structure the html so that the fields when I click to edit the event are automatically filled in when the user clicks on it

also is there a way to edit model instances in django

[warm igloo]

Yeah, so look at rpyc and build it. Looks like that lets you set up a server easy and then you can just write the calls to it to a file or whatever.

Well, you for instance could have a React front end that makes calls to your backend api. That's a common pattern. React (or vue or whatever) on the front, and your backend is an api for CRUD operations for instance.

And the alternative is that your backend generates your front end code and sends it along to the client. Think a default django or basic Flask app (in most examples).

Note: you can do both or either of these with Django, Flask, etc.

can I edit model instances in django

like fetch an instance using get and then edit that or do I have to fetch it, then delete it, and then add an edited version back to the database

[pallid lily]

Got to admit Django is seriously the best back end framework exists

you can make Angular and Flutter and React apps under same roof (Django) and will work just fine

[spiral blaze]

can someone explain current_user to me in flask? what does it access

[dense slate]

I don't know flask well, but I'm assuming maybe the logged in user if there's a user session in the request header?

[spiral blaze]

so, this current_user access the sql database? im honestly not sure aswell

[dense slate]

It would probably be the user object of the logged in user.

[native tide]

is there any way to fetch and edit a model instance

or do I have to fetch it, delete it, and then add in the edited version

[dense slate]

Is this the same thing from yesterday?

You just get the object from the DB, then update the field, like user.name = "whatever", then user.save() to save it to the DB.

[native tide]

ok so I can just do model.objects.get(id=x, user=request.user) and then edit that

[dense slate]

You only need one of those variables to get it.

But yes.

[spiral blaze]

how long does it take for the average to be comfortable with getting data from sql and stuff incorporating everything into a webpage?

[native tide]

not too long, just watch some tutorials, then you'll be able to do what you want with it

[spiral blaze]

is sql pretty much the same for flask sql?

[native tide]

yes

i keep getting this error => django.db.utils.DataError: value too long for type character varying(59) when my password are only like 8 letters long here is my code =>

    email = models.EmailField(verbose_name='email',max_length=59, unique=True)
    username = models.CharField(max_length=30,unique=True)
    occupations = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=False) #amount of occupations user does
    #cliques = models.ForeignKey(Clique,null=True,on_delete=models.CASCADE) #cliques user is in 
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='date joined', auto_now_add=True)
    last_login = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='last login', auto_now=True)
    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_superuser = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    dob = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True,unique=True)
    password = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=59)

    objects = OccupierManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username','occupations','password','dob']```

[native tide]

so I have my models structured by this:

class Class(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    upload = models.ImageField(null=True)
class ClassesAndStudents(models.Model):
    student = models.ForeignKey(User,null=True, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)
    Class = models.ForeignKey(Class,null=True, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)
class PDF(models.Model):
    description=models.TextField(max_length=500, null=False, blank=False)
    PDF=models.FileField(null=False)
    category=models.ForeignKey(Class, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.description

as you can see the PDF has a foreign key with type Class, I have html to view a class by the primary key

to this class html, I want add an "add pdf" button which submitted will automatically get the class from where they clicked it

how would I do this

[dense slate]

Maybe it gets hashed to a string longer than that?

[native tide]

how can I get current object in view

Chat feature like Facebook for example in peronal inbox....

[regal fossil]

Is there a way to do it without using these packages?

[inland oak]

Everything is possible.
But that it the fastest way to make it production ready and handling a lot of users in your own infrastructure.
If it is not the goal..
...u can just make it with just default rest API calls

Or using iframe from Facebook, or whether the way it integrates, if u don't mind dependency to them

Or just finding chat to web sites handling customers as service, basically SaaS

[native tide]

how can I import models from another app in django

[inland oak]

It sounds like some sort of iframe, check available Facebook integrations

Hello, did anyone experience having certain fields missing from a form model??

[devout aurora]

hey im making a website in flask and i need to retrieve the "name" of the person who is currently logged in

the name is stored in the database and they registered with it

[mild wing]

how are you logging them in?

Just run a sql query using their user id to look for it no?

[devout aurora]

yeah i figured it out, i just did if email == '[e-mail]' then run some code, how secure is that compared to auth tokens? because thats all backend so i can imagine its pretty secure? and if email != '[e-mail]' i just have it return "unauthorized"

[inland oak]

Your security depends on if u a having sanitized input.
And on having important stuff hashed
And on having strict SSL
And unnecessary ports closed
And a lot more things

Also auth tokens complement it with helping to prevent additional reauths, not replace it

[devout aurora]

could you please elaborate this in my dms?

im new to web development and would like some extra help 😄

I would not mind speaking in voice in around ten hours. At the moment I have to go to work.

    text = models.TextField()
    publication_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    post = models.ForeignKey(Post, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    child_comments = models.ManyToManyField('Comment')

class CommentSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    post = StringRelatedField()
    author = SlugRelatedField(
        read_only=True,
        slug_field='name'
    )

    class Meta:
        model = Comment
        fields = '__all__'
        depth = 3

in swagger post comment only requires text but i also need it to make post field required

[lusty wigeon]

And If I start building project which projects should i start and move fwd as learning + experience...

[fickle saddle]

I don't know if this is an efficient approach, but why not just add required in the html input field?

[fickle saddle]

Do you have a github account?

[thick sinew]

well html is generated by swagger i believe and it is not just input field, it is also a form in which you can try a request so it is important for me to set this thing how it is supposed to be set

hi

can i know how i must host site on hostinger cloud hosting?

[inland oak]

I would advice to be NOT using the hostinger. As far as I remember it is a fake, not a real cloud hosting (in terms of service quality)
I would recommend starting from beginner friendly providers like Hetzner, Digital Ocean, Vultr, Linode
or if u want more advanced ones then: AWS, GCP, Azure.

the difference between quality providers (like the ones which I mentioned), and the shitty providers (everything the rest usually) is 10-100 times.

[marsh girder]

i bought it

4 daysback

[inland oak]

https://y.yarn.co/545881bb-d30a-4be7-b724-afc931b2db7f_text.gif

[marsh girder]

dont worry im trying it for 20 days

[inland oak]

let me start with telling you that in normal providers u get your server within 30 seconds, and you can destroy it within same 30 seconds.
you don't pay there for a month in advance, or for setup fee.
the payments are calculated based on hourly usage very precisely, and charged at the end of the month

[marsh girder]

wdym

[inland oak]

I mean what I mean.
normal providers don't charge monthly fees or initial setup fees for their servers/resources

they charge hourly payments based on how many hours u used their resource

[marsh girder]

wha

ok but theres a 30 day money return back garuantee

[inland oak]

☝️ then run while u can

[marsh girder]

uh

@inland oak

u making me confused lil bit

[inland oak]

? wdym

[marsh girder]

u sure hostinger bad for cloud hosting?

[inland oak]

i am 100% sure.
providers outside of quality range, can be interesting only because they provide more resources for cheaper price (sometimes)
if you don't plan to grow outside of one server, DevOps, CI/CD are alien words for you which u don't wish to have, and you don't mind getting service in quality outdated by 10-20 years, then sure, hostinger(and similar to it providers) will be fine.

How to update celery image for an api server without losing track of already running background tasks?

We have a flask api server which is deployed on kubernetes cluster as a service, it is interacting with celery service for executing any background task.
Now let say we want to update our celery image, but doing so if any background task is still in processing state won't be processed because when we update the image it will remove the old celery container as soon as new container is up.
What are best approach to update celery image without losing the already running background task in that celery container?

[inland oak]

Celery keeps its tasks in NoSQL backend databases like RabbitMQ or Redis

don't wipe them when you update Celery, and... as long as forward compatibility works, u'll be fine

How to make sure that no running tasks gets lost, I am a bit less sure though

because taken tasks will be changing their status to STARTED

a bit more knowledge is required in how celery keeps track of tasks

and just checking all tasks and fixing them back to be not started yet perhaps

tasks in progress are surely still kept though

[inland oak]

Wait

Everything can be done much simpler and more gracefully

https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/stable/userguide/workers.html

Process Signals
The worker’s main process overrides the following signals:

• TERM Warm shutdown, wait for tasks to complete.
• QUIT Cold shutdown, terminate ASAP
• USR1 Dump traceback for all active threads.
• USR2 Remote debug, see celery.contrib.rdb.

[thin lance]

Greeting,
Is there a way to speed up writing to the database?
example:
I have a parquet file and it takes me 70-75 seconds to write it, which is not much, but if I had a bigger file, it would take longer.
I use FastAPI, ArangoDB, docker and pandas

[vestal hound]

well

that depends on a lot of things.

hard to say why it's slow

it could be that that's near the theoretical limit

or the connection is slow

or you might have some inefficient serialisation logic

lots of moving parts in that

[thin lance]

is there any solution to increase speed?

could a docker help?

[last scaffold]

When my stuff is too slow it's 99 times out of 100 I who wrote shitty queries/back-end code

[thin lance]

i read that there is some solution with the help of docker by splitting multiple processes

[vestal hound]

it really depends

[vestal hound]

show code as text

not as images

hard to read

but what I see right now

is that you're sending one query per document

which is generally not a thing you want to do

you want to batch your queries

[thin lance]

def insert_parquet(self):
        time_start = time.time()
        file = pq.read_pandas("Industry").to_pandas()
        k = len(file['Year'])
        for i in range(k):
            docs = {
                "year": file['Year'][i],
                "industry_aggregation_NZSIOC": file['Industry_aggregation_NZSIOC'][i], 
                "industry_code_NZSIOC": file['Industry_code_NZSIOC'][i],
                "industry_name_NZSIOC": file['Industry_name_NZSIOC'][i],
                "units": file['Units'][i],
                "variable_code": file['Variable_code'][i],
                "variable_name": file['Variable_name'][i],
                "variable_category": file['Variable_category'][i],
                "value": file['Value'][i],
                "industry_code_ANZSIC06": file['Industry_code_ANZSIC06'][i]
                }
            bind = {"docs": docs}
            aql = "INSERT @docs INTO Industry LET newDoc = NEW RETURN newDoc"
            query = self.db.AQLQuery(aql, bindVars=bind)
            print(query)
        print((time.time() - time_start))

[thin lance]

the "file" is just a variable and the columns are Year, Industry_aggregation_NZSIOC in parquet file

[vestal hound]

but query = self.db.AQLQuery(aql, bindVars=bind) actually sends a query

doesn't it?

[thin lance]

yes

[vestal hound]

yeah so you're sending one query per row in the dataframe

[vestal hound]

which is why I said this

I'm not familiar with AQL so I don't know how you'd express that

or if it's even possible

but if it is

that'd be a good place to start

[thin lance]

good observation now i will try to change that

[minor pike]

I code for fun
using ready made code is no fun

[inland oak]

Worthy enough to post in memes basically

Equally funny to Hecker level

[inland oak]

The problem with readability.

In one week u aren't going to remember what was written there and how to change it

[minor pike]

lies

I always remember my code

[inland oak]

Jinja will make a clear separation between python and html code

Spare your future self, use jinja

[minor pike]

first of all, I made it clear that this wasn't for actual use
it was a way to automate my homework

second of all, I said that using ready made stuff is no fun for me

and lastly my aim was to make it so that you just add stuff to the class and it generates html w/o you knowing html

[inland oak]

I could even help you a bit later in rewriting it to Jinja

I want to save you!

[minor pike]

and btw jinja2 is way too ugly

how is my code ugly?

builder = HtmlTableBuilder()
builder.add_row("index").add_row("language")
builder.add_col([0, "Python"]).add_col([1, "Kotlin"])

print(builder.build())

this is way too pretty compared to jinja

[inland oak]

U just aren't having installed proper syntax highlighting

[inland oak]

U a missing the hell above it

[minor pike]

ah yes, installing syntax highlighting in my browser

very possible

[minor pike]

cause that is not meant to be in ur code, you import it

jinja is more than 2K lines of code

copy paste that in the same file as ur code

thats the dumb thing you are comparing

my 50 lines of source code

vs 2K+ lines of source code

[inland oak]

Reinventing wheels is silly.
When we make web site, we don't write web servers from zero every time. And especially operating systems and hardware drivers

[minor pike]

As I freaking said
I am doing this for fun

stop being blind

and actually read my messages

i dont want to make a website

i want to mess around with code

thats the difference

[inland oak]

Perhaps. Perhaps. As an one time thing to be never used again, it will serve sufficiently enough.

This code is not to be developed later.

[minor pike]

it is final code, there are no improvements to make
maybe adding properties as a dictionary
but thats all

[opaque token]

no

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/811618071604625438.png?size=44

[minor pike]

you just said no for the sake of saying no?

[opaque token]

nah it isn't ugly

[minor pike]

it is compared to the usage of the class I made

its not ugly overall

but why write html
when you can exclusively write python?

[opaque token]

lmao

[minor pike]

correction: 28K lines of code

imagine copy pasting that in ur code instead of importing

what would be "uglier" for you? @inland oak

[jovial kayak]

guys, is it possible to create an online server like Google using python?

[minor pike]

is it possible? yes
is it recommended? no
why? because google is way too big for python to run

I mean...we all know how slow python is
Writing the server in Go, Rust or C++ is better speed wise

whilst you can do it in python, if you are dealing with the whole population on earth, it would most likely either crash or be slow as hell

[jovial kayak]

ohk thanks a lot dude!

[inland oak]

google is actually made in python

[minor pike]

no, it uses python

and a lot of other languages

not just python

c++ is mainly used for the search, and some python along with it

[inland oak]

but, its core, searching stuff was made initially fully in python ;b at least crawlers

[minor pike]

yeah

and then bc of a lot of issues the crawlers were rewritten in c++

[strange charm]

Can someone help me with django

i have one form field data, which i don't want to save in database and process that data directly to my script

[unborn badger]

Hii!!

[spiral blaze]

guys i want to make something say You logged in! on top when you logged in, then you can click to close it, does anyone know what its called?

[frank shoal]

It's reddit (old) that was written in python

[frank shoal]

Flask calls that a flash

though the ui element is called a banner

or a toast

[spiral blaze]

wait its just a flash? i thought its like something in html

are there like a docs of it? im kinda confused on this one

[frank shoal]

in flask, you create it by using the flash() function

You still have to render it in your function.

example of a toast: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/toasts/

I think this is what you were originally wanting: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/alerts/

[spiral blaze]

wait, so i have to connect this alert to my python too?

[frank shoal]

just your html

bootstrap makes it easy, but you can do it manually if you like.

in your template, call get_flashes()

[spiral blaze]

wait, so how do i connect it to after i logged in? there must be python code right?

[frank shoal]

!d flask.get_flashed_messages

[lavish prism]

flask.get\_flashed\_messages

flask.get_flashed_messages(with_categories=False, category_filter=())```
Pulls all flashed messages from the session and returns them. Further calls in the same request to the function will return the same messages. By default just the messages are returned, but when with\_categories is set to `True`, the return value will be a list of tuples in the form `(category, message)` instead.

Filter the flashed messages to one or more categories by providing those categories in category\_filter. This allows rendering categories in separate html blocks. The with\_categories and category\_filter arguments are distinct:

[frank shoal]

!d flask.flash

[lavish prism]

flask.flash

flask.flash(message, category='message')```
Flashes a message to the next request. In order to remove the flashed message from the session and to display it to the user, the template has to call [`get_flashed_messages()`](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/api/#flask.get_flashed_messages "flask.get_flashed_messages").

Changelog Changed in version 0.3: category parameter added.

[frank shoal]

https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/patterns/flashing/

[spiral blaze]

i think i might have to experiment with this, im super confused lol

[frank shoal]

experimentation is good.

[spiral blaze]

the solution that i can think of is just make another webpage that says You logged in! after you log in but that wouldn't be super satisfying

like this one that i have currently, will definitely have to change it

do you think i should make a base.html so i dont have to copy my code everytime?

Anyone knows why this cause the following error:

AttributeError at /en/sell_page

        return f'<a href="{url}"> {self.title} </a>'

I have a model event which has two DateTime Fields, I am making something to edit the event where I have to load the start_time and end_time into two html local date time input fields

it can put in the title and description but can't input the date time fields

2021-11-17 16:54:00+00:00

this is what the console outputs when the start_time is called from views.py

why is it not automatically inputting the start date and end date

 <div class="form-group m-3">
                              <label for="birthdaytime">Start Date (date and time):</label>

[devout aurora]

looking for a "full stack engineer" just need some help with security measures for my webapp, this website is coded in flask for the backend. willing to pay dm me!

[sharp tree]

does get method need a forms.py to call the data off ?

[warm igloo]

No. Don't do that on this server. Read the #rules please.

[warm igloo]

Can you explain further?

[devout aurora]

where do i go then for help

[native tide]

any django experenced

folks here ?

needs some advices suggestions regarding scalablilty

[warm igloo]

To hire someone? Find a job site I suppose. Or Fiverr? Or Reddit?

Just not here, as per the rules.

[warm igloo]

Just go ahead and ask instead of asking to ask or asking for an expert. Shoot your shot and see who answers. 🙂

[native tide]

sure

my current setup on vps is nginx + uwsgi + mariadb

[warm igloo]

cool, following so far .. single vps?

[native tide]

dedi

well i'm aware that i could optimize the queries allot

planing to do that in near future

[warm igloo]

dedi?

[native tide]

dedicated server

its a vps, you just get the entire hw

[warm igloo]

okay, you have a vm .. is the app and db on same vm?

[native tide]

haha

yea

[warm igloo]

cool

def want to split that in future but go on

[native tide]

ok

thats why im here

ah my question is more

is the practice

[indigo kettle]

@bright spindle I think you want

class NotificationBase(models.Model):
    class Type(models.TextChoices):
        GROUP_POLL = 'GROUP', _('group')
        POLL = 'POLL', _('poll')
        PROPOSAL = 'PROPOSAL', _('proposal')

    type = models.CharField(choices=Type.choices, max_length=255)
    target = models.IntegerField()

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

[native tide]

clusterinz APP services, or clustering DB

[warm igloo]

sorry, still wanting to find out what you are asking and want

[indigo kettle]

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/db/models/#abstract-base-classes

[native tide]

ah thebouv

[warm igloo]

I mean there are tons of things you can do to make it more scalable. For instance, low hanging fruit is to put in a LB, have it in front of multiple vms running your app, and to isolate your db to its own private-access-only vm

or to use a dbaas

[native tide]

do you cluster the web apps ( django, uwsgi, nginx ) or the clustering DB

for preformance

[warm igloo]

big question but you can go very very far with a load balancer, a couple vms for the app, and a db server that gets a backup for disaster recovery

if you want to mature to "the next stage" beyond just a single vm

[native tide]

so you cluster the web app and services

not the db firstly

[warm igloo]

depends on what tolerance you have for downtime, how big your audience is, and some other factors

yeah, I wouldn't worry much about the db EXCEPT to get it off the same machine .. that's never a good idea (Except as a proof of concept, personal project, etc)

[native tide]

yea

[warm igloo]

you want the db to have good backup and easy to recover though

I mean, what is the nature of your app?

[native tide]

we have some cronjobs

that do daily backups

etc..

[warm igloo]

if it is microsecond ecommerce transactions where you can't tolerate a single failure, that's more expensive to plan for

[native tide]

there are certain functions in the webapp, which steal allot of time and

i'd like to talk about that : )

haha

[warm igloo]

you can remove a LOT of headache by looking at DBaaS like AWS Aurora

or RDS

[native tide]

hmm

[warm igloo]

also, you don't have to build what you need in a year .. its best to iterate on it. And the more you can automate, the easier it'll be to grow.

[native tide]

yea

thats why we are planing up front

i guess we gonna have a big explostion in next year

[warm igloo]

congrats if that works out

[native tide]

so tryna get ready for the chalanges

amen

thanks

[warm igloo]

get yourself an infrastructure person soon 😉

[native tide]

well i'm pretty skilled

[warm igloo]

Cool.

[native tide]

its just the enterprise tools

im not fimiliar ha

haha

i'd rather create my own custom dns and handle it my self

but...

seens DigitalOcean gives a simple load balancing

method

for cheap

like $10

[warm igloo]

Suggestions: make sure your app is 12 factor. Think in regards to ephemeral and immutable infrastructure.

[native tide]

whats a 12 factor

[warm igloo]

I mean if you want really cheap you don't even need an actual LB but you can do round-robin DNS as a poor man's load balancer

https://12factor.net/

[native tide]

hmm

well i'd prolly go with LB

[warm igloo]

good idea

[native tide]

which costs like 10$ on do

which is extremelly cheap

if it does the work

[warm igloo]

sure, sounds good

[native tide]

but im more interesting

in how scaling django works

like anyone has any docs on how reddit

scales infrastructure

or any of the mayor sites that use django

i feel like im missing something with the django + uwsgi part

[warm igloo]

so your vm works now with django and uwsgi yeah?

[native tide]

this is my setup

Nginx as web Server, ( proxy pass to ) uwsgi which runs django ( uwsgi started via systemd )

I have mysql-server installed on the same vm

[warm igloo]

imagine you save an image of the vm as it is now, duplicate it, and put an lb in front of it, and move that DB to its own place (that doesn't accept open web connections, only from your app vms)

[native tide]

the load is fine for now

except on certain

actions which require for loop which will update certain rows

this can take up to few seconds

i need to optimize the query

well my plan is to

stop using django as renderer

since it steals allot of time

so we'll go from Class based views, to API's

and now comes the lb part

i need to debug is django orm slow

or mysql query

[warm igloo]

and build a separate front end and use django as api backend?

[native tide]

yep

[warm igloo]

I suggest you look into using application performance monitoring tools that allow you to pinpoint slowness down to the query being executed or line of code errors are happening on. NewRelic, Datadog, AppOptics, etc.

[native tide]

nice

ty for that

[warm igloo]

np

[native tide]

i've only used django debug toolbar

gotta give thumbs up for those folks

they did a good job

[warm igloo]

Nice. I actually have never built out a django app. I prefer Flask or FastAPI for most of my web work.

[native tide]

ah i started working in it long time ago

then stoped now got back into it

its easy

big up for the community

[warm igloo]

I prefer slim frameworks

[native tide]

haha

m2 depending on the project

[warm igloo]

django is heavy, but I get its purpose

[native tide]

tough

[warm igloo]

I actually need to cookie-cutter my last Flask site out to make it easier to spin up something similar

[native tide]

anyone knows what reddit uses as frontend ?

or instagram

[warm igloo]

the ig app is react native I believe so I'd assume the web front end co-opts some of those react components and uses those as well

but the web interface is always behind the app interface and with less features so dunno

[native tide]

what does youtube use

[warm igloo]

https://builtwith.com/youtube.com

handy website

[native tide]

hmm

lol it says php

[warm igloo]

which is true

[native tide]

really ?

i tought it uses django

[warm igloo]

php is friggin everywhere dude

likely the use a lot of tech

[native tide]

http://highscalability.com/blog/2012/3/26/7-years-of-youtube-scalability-lessons-in-30-minutes.html

[warm igloo]

cool that article is also from 2012

😉

[native tide]

true

[warm igloo]

and it could be php but be Hack like FB uses

or that site could be wrong

it's harder to get a tech sig on backend unless it leaves telltale signs in the front end somehow

likely what you'll find at the "big boys" is a heavily customized stack that isn't just a bunch of off the shelf things

don't worry about them though to be honest

build what you can with what you know

if you explode, refactor/rebuild

when you have the money to do so heh

So you good on your near term plan @native tide ?

[native tide]

yea

we could prolly be good for better near term

[vapid stag]

Guys, I have had this question for some time.

Let's suppose Ive a forum and a submit button. When I hit submit, it might send a POST to my flaskapp /hello endpoint and what's typed in forum get stored in db. Can I aslo use GET here?

I don't understand the difference between the two. I read some theories but didn't get the difference. I feel it's the same except GET will have the url param at url bar. That's the only difference. I could use GET instead of POST as well?

[inland oak]

most of the difference is semantic.
GET we use to request things which DON"T change server data (Get existing users / msgs)
POST we usually use to Create new object, Submit newdata (Create user, Create new msg, Create auth session(submitting login/password))
DELETE to delete objects
UPDATE... to update those objects partially for example. and in bulks.
(CRUD acronym stands for this pattern: Create, Read, Update, Delete)

Additionally there is difference that
GET request can accept only Query Parameters as its input data, while POST request can accept additionally JSON input in its data body

which makes GET requests vulnerable to attacks a bit, because hackers can insert GET requests into <script> fields for self invocation, that makes POST requests a bit safer

but at the same time, since GET requests have all its requested data in Query parameters, which is basically url like http://localhost?blablabla=123&another_data=fdgk
it makes it perfect target for caching mechanisms to speed up your web site! because it allows easily having separate caching copies in web accelerators for GET requests with different query parameters

[past dove]

hi, can anyone tell me how to publish a website that i made online

?

[inland oak]

that's so broad to answer question... which we can't even begin to answer since we don't know how is your website working

is it just bunch of html/css/js files, or is it requiring python web server

[past dove]

It's just html, java and css

@inland oak

[inland oak]

Urgh. I know only the hard way.
which involves, renting VPS server, installing there web server (nginx or apache), and serving its content. (preferably with CDN ;b)
Additionally people usually like to buy domain names, and installing ssl certificates for https protected connection

In theory, in theory, some hosting providers resolve all those problems for you, which would be easier way

all you need to acquire their web hosting space, and drop your folder with website to them

they will handle setting up web server / domain and e.t.c.

basically you have option to go full way on your own and having complete control, or to find hosting provider that resolves those problems for you

[frozen wadi]

Hold on, if it's that static https://pages.github.com/ should work I think

I haven't used it before but it's free!

Definitely give that a shot before renting your own digitalocean droplet, that should be way overkill for a static site

why when i change the debug to False

all my images not showen

help plz

[native tide]

???

i fix it thx for me hhhh

[lime pecan]

I don't know shit, but I just got heroku working for my flask app

What's your problem?

[chilly mesa]

Should I create my project after creating a virtual env or can I create it after finishing the project. For deploying in heroku

[meager anchor]

these are both independent of each other. you usually want to use a virtual environment for your development to have all of your dependencies as you expect them in a fresh environment

but if you already have your host system set up the way the project needs, you don't need to create a virtual env

it's good practice to use one, but nothing forces you to use one

[lime pecan]

You do need to create the virtual environment and have an updated version of requirements.txt for heroku to work. So get that up and going whenever most convenient

[haughty isle]

What do you mean by an "api further"

[haughty isle]

And which json has the cookie in?

What code do you have so far and what problems are you running into?

[orchid mural]

so far i have done response =s.get(url) print(response.json)

new to the api part hence

my bad not the cookie the sessionid needs to be passed

@haughty isle are there any resources where i can read more api in python and how to work with them ?

[haughty isle]

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean, what sort of API are you looking to read?

[orchid mural]

rest api

[haughty isle]

What problem are you running into here? What's the output you have? Where do you need to pass the sessionid?

[orchid mural]

i need to pass the sessionid to the an api further but i dont know how to get the sessionid out

[young zealot]

Hello! I've a simple update checker hosted on heroku. When a new version get released, i get a mail and it should update the current version. But i still get mails as the file still be the old one! Had to make a commit on github to fix it.

                if res.status_code == 200:
                    logger.info("Success.")
                    with open(file="cur_version.json", mode="w+", encoding="utf-8") as f:
                        json.dump(remote_version, f)

Can heroku update version hosted or there is something I'm missing? Thanks

[haughty isle]

A new version of what?

[young zealot]

Of a software I'm using

[haughty isle]

Which file still be the old one?

Are you using heroku chron?

[young zealot]

the cur_version.json

[haughty isle]

I'm pretty sure you need to provision a database to store state between invocations of chron apps

[young zealot]

i'm using the free plan on heroku, with github connected

[haughty isle]

You know 12-factor apps and all that

You want to know when you release a new version of your app or when some website changes?

Generally heroku apps are supposed to be stateless

And store state in other services

[chilly mesa]

fine man..you good with django? i am getting an error after deploying it..i can share my code and error here if you can help me

[young zealot]

oh got it

is it possible, in your opinion doing an automatic commit to my repo ?

to update the cur_version file

that script used to be located on my raspberry, wanted to try heroku but had this problem

maybe i just get out the part where i save to a file, and just store the version in a variable?

that should work, if the heroku server doesn't reboot

[meager anchor]

sorta :D do share it here

[chilly mesa]

just a min

this is the code for that. this is the actually the code for homepage

this is the error

it is working properly in the localhost and i am getting this error only after deploying

[haughty isle]

Oh you mean gitscraping? You don't even need heroku for that

Hi,
I created an API backend for my iOS app with Flask. It works fine, but it's not yet live. I used Flask 1.1.2 and started thinking whether I should really port to 2.x before launching it. However I can't seem to find any info on how much 2.x has changed from 1.1. The 1.1 docs have a page https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/upgrading/, but it only covers upgrading to 1.x and 2.x doesn't have anything similar it seems.

guys in Django, why is the manage.py outside the project?
this is the command i ran django-admin startproject backend .
it looks ugly now, I have the backend folder and the frontend folder. But this manage.py is sticking out like a sore thumb.

[iron magnet]

Hm, I upgraded Flask to 2.x in a new branch and it seems to have started up without issues and responds to requests.

Hey, I want to work on a project that is basically an online notepad, just a very basic text editor. I'm wondering how would I go about doing this? do I just store each file's content in a text field? do I create a folder for every user and store their notes on it? I have no idea how this app would work and I would appreciate any help

Hi. I'm currently using flask to create a dashboard for my discord bot. I've set up everything correctly so far, however I'm running into a small issue.

I've checked the docs and it seems what I've done should be correct, so I might be missing something small.

I'm using discords oAuth2 verification and I'm trying to access the username and discrim.
Upon routing to my redirect after login, it should return the username and discrim, however it's returning this.

Here's my oAuth checks

And here's my routing

[graceful flax]

Is the time shorter

Than sending it to my server via API and then uploading it to S3

[graceful flax]

or does django-storages static file where I store a file as FileField do this same thing in the background

[graceful flax]

Your first problem solution:

import os
os.environ.get("ENV_NAME")```

[strange charm]

i tried but not working

it is saying none

[graceful flax]

your second problem:

import 
from ..wherever.script import x```

[graceful flax]

Check if the env has set properly

[strange charm]

@graceful flax i'm able to load value in views.py

but not in script.py

[graceful flax]

That's weird

Are you running the script separately?

[unborn badger]

hi guys

im relatively new to python and building backend using flask

how do i call an api and store the data that gets sent using flask? i searched on the web and stumbled on a module named requests but when i call r = requests.get('https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=ACITY&appid={notgonnashowthekey}')

i just get status 200 in return

how do i get json or any form of data that i can use

[trail hearth]

if I'm not mistaken, you can use .json() on the response

[unborn badger]

Can u plz give an example?

Like requests.get().json()?

[trail hearth]

yup

[unborn badger]

Okay ill try

Ah damn the powr got cut off

Ill try in the morning its time to slep anyway thanks @trail hearth

[trail hearth]

No problem!

[warm igloo]

Careful with that .. make sure you get the response, check that it is 200 (and not 500 or 404 for example) and THEN use .json() to be safer.

[native tide]

this channel only python?

or html css...

[warm igloo]

eh, html css seem fine imho

[native tide]

understand thank bro

[jaunty depot]

hey guys
could you please tell me how do I stylize wtf forms variable in html file? I designed my site in figma and only then moved to the code. I first made templates with forms and inputs and fields

now I'm learning about wtforms and thanks to the way they work I will have to erase my inputs and labels and put the variables in their places, but when I do that, the fields look ugly. How could I make them look like my designed input fields?

initially I have this:

<form class="formentry" method="POST" autocomplete="off">
    <div>
        <div class="greenthingytop"></div>
        <input id="useremail" class="inputentry" name="email" type="email" placeholder=" " />
        <label style="top: 20%" class="labelentry" for="useremail">Enter email address</label>
    </div>
    <div>
        <input id="password" class="inputentry" name="password" type="password" placeholder=" " />
        <label style="top: 38%" class="labelentry" for="password">Enter password</label>
    </div>
    <div>
        <input id="passwordc" class="inputentry" name="confirmpassword" type="password" placeholder=" " />
        <label style="top: 56%" class="labelentry" for="passwordc">Confirm password</label>
    </div>```

and it looks like this:

but when I change to

<div>
        <div class="greenthingytop"></div>
        <div id="useremail" class="inputentry" name="email"> {{form.email}}</div>
        <!-- <input id="useremail" class="inputentry" name="email" type="email" placeholder=" "></input> -->
        <label style="top: 20%" class="labelentry" for="useremail">Enter email address</label>
    </div>
    <div>
        <input id="password" class="inputentry" name="password" type="password" placeholder=" " />
        <label style="top: 38%" class="labelentry" for="password">Enter password</label>
    </div>
    <div>
        <input id="passwordc" class="inputentry" name="confirmpassword" type="password" placeholder=" " />
        <label style="top: 56%" class="labelentry" for="passwordc">Confirm password</label>
    </div>

it looks like this

[warm igloo]

You add classes and id's when you call the form element like so:

        {{form.email(class_="inputentry", placeholder=" ", madeupattribute="hello")}}

No need to wrap it in a div since your original template didn't have that either.

Lots of fun things you can do: https://wtforms.readthedocs.io/en/3.0.x/

Note that adding class looks weird cause "class" is a reserved word in python and lots of its templating langs like jinja, so here it has to be class_ but literally any other attribute you would want can be entered in.

@jaunty depot 👆

[jaunty depot]

{{ form.email(id_="useremail" class_="inputentry" name_="email" type_="email" placeholder_=" ") }}```

a couple of days ago I was trying exactly this, but my site crashed and the error it gave me was "jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ',', got 'class_'"

I thought that I had to add _ after every attribute that was used in input tag

even after I added "," I received some other error, I thought that it won't work

I have some styling related to labels of those inputs, now that I changed it, the labels do not work. How could I implement them to this {{form.email(class_="inputentry", placeholder=" ", madeupattribute="hello")}} ?

btw, you are a champ, I changed the code and now it looks like this:

exactly how I wanted, so thank you very much for that!

I'm here https://wtforms.readthedocs.io/en/3.0.x/fields/#wtforms.fields.Label but I can't find anything on how to implement a label to this variable field

[jaunty depot]

hah, alrighty I found the issue

at first my form looked like this

with this code:

</div>
        {{form.email(class_="inputentry")}}
        <!--  -->
        {{form.email.label(class_='labelentry')}}
    </div>

and I could not find anything on how to get to the label, so that I can customize it in css file or something, even WTF docu does not say much about it

but then I was mendling with the code, trying to somehow add or remove various attributes

then by accident I added "placeholder" attribute to the form.email and then I saw this:

those two labels look weird and I couldn't get why I have two of those, I didn't even specify this "Email", not even in my python code

then I left the space in a placeholder in form.email and I was left with only this "Email" label near the top of the cell
it even acts just like I specified it in my css file, so that is great that I finally got to the point where I wanted to manipulate this attribute

I just don't know how could I center this label? It looks liks it's implemented automatically by FlaskForm/WTForm, so I'm not sure if it's possible?
but I guess it should, since it moves to the left just as I specified
but I also specified the center and margin parameters, yet it still sticks to the top of the cell

does anyone know if this can be changed?

[jaunty depot]

alrighty, I found the answer to my question
this:

is because of the code:

class RegisterForm(FlaskForm):
    email = StringField(validators=[InputRequired(), Email()])
    password = PasswordField(validators=[InputRequired(), Length(min=6, max=20)])
    confirm_password = PasswordField(validators=[InputRequired(), Length(min=6, max=20), EqualTo(password)])
    submit = SubmitField()

I had no idea that WTF capitalizes all of those specified fields + it erases underscores apparently and makes spaces between words

[strange charm]

[native tide]

Is there a way to dynamically change the flask_env like it is available for JavaScript like the CONST_DEBUG? If I am running it on my local machine it should automatically switch to the development server is there some way to achieve this?

Hi can sb help me please I get this nonetype error but I'm trying to interate values from pymongo

but the user["uid"] is not iterable when it becomes none... so how do I get the "uid" then?

[haughty isle]

Do you have a Traceback?

Also it's best to write your code top to bottom, rather than allow it to drift over to the right

If you return in an if branch, you don't need an elif or else branch

[stuck narwhal]

Hello

I need some help with flask

from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/api',methods=['POST'])
def makecalc():
    #data=request.get_json()
    return "hello"

# def hello():
#     return "welcome"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

when i run this i dont get the endpoint in the outout

and when i put the server in the browser it throws an error

[haughty isle]

Which error specifically?

Did you try putting the server somewhere else?

It might be because you're putting the server rather than posting it?

[bitter basin]

who knows how u can transfer audio stream through aiohttp websockets?

[stuck narwhal]

As in? I get this

[stuck narwhal]

if i just enter the server i get Not Found

[haughty isle]

Yeah if you're putting the server you need to use methods=["PUT"]

You need to post the server instead or change the methods=

In your screenshot you're getting the server rather than putting it, as you initially said

[jaunty depot]

@app.route("/", methods=["POST"])

something like that

oh sorry, you already have this, didn't notice
