thanks for the help though!

[inland oak]

u a welcome

[formal rapids]

Why is my flask application sending insane amounts of post methods? Everytime i make a post the next time it doubles? (When i refresh the page and make post requests it resets)

[deft crow]

'session': <SimpleLazyObject: <function AuthenticationMiddleware.process_request.<locals>.<lambda> at 0x0000026E97ABC8B0>>

how to get the REAL session id?

Hi guys, we currently develop a free hosting control panel and we want to support Python as well.

What is the standard procedure to install additional python versions on a server (debian, ubuntu). Do you use pyenv?

Each site user (ssh user) should be able to install it's own needed python version

how to change timezones in django

I have a field in my data base which gives the current time but the time is not from my timezone

[past cipher]

I am using allauth and receiving the error: SocialToken matching query does not exist.. Has anyone experienced this? I have triple checked the site ID and its correct

I can login fine with google. But when I use this code below, I retrieve the error above:

token = SocialToken.objects.get(account__user=request.user, account__provider='google')

[dusk sonnet]

Hey, is there a way to pass a variable or something to a base template? (django)

[lavish prism]

Hey @manic crane!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[unique shore]

jinja allows conditionals and embedded python in the html. read more here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/templates/language/

[manic crane]

discord said the message is to long

[grand orbit]

using Django & Jinja to make an html page, is it possible to share a python variable directy to a JS script inside that html page ?

return render(request,'report.html',{'users':users})

report.html:

<script src="{% static 'data.js' %}"></script> <-- how to access `{{users}}` from inside `data.js`?

[merry merlin]

@grand orbit tysm for posting it here😇

[surreal palm]

Related to this: since Electron ships with chrome, I've thought about doing the same, but not with chrome.
Is there a lightweight browser that can be freely shipped with an app?

[timber jungle]

Flask:

For an Input box text ,
can i check in real time if a string is entered correctly and show a flashing message in html ?

Or should this check based on regex, to be done on the input box?
<input type="text" id="uname" name="uname" pattern="[a-zA-Z0-9]+" minlength="4" maxlength="10">

[astral grail]

Django has json_script filter (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/templates/builtins/#json-script)

and for smaller amount of data, there's also escapejs that can be embedded directly inside a <script> tag

For jinja, look for tojson filter (https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.0.x/templates/#jinja-filters.tojson)

[astral grail]

yeah, just use html input regex pattern, that's the easiest way unless you want to start writing JS

which may be necessary for more complex validation patterns

[obtuse robin]

anyone know why the db commit is not working..?

it prints up to the current user stuff

but not to the search form

idk whats wrong with the commit

[dim plume]

I am trying to render css and js on my flask server but it does not render it
How can i solve this?

[obtuse robin]

how are you connecting your files?

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static',filename='css/style.css') }}">
<script src="{{ url_for('static',filename='js/myscript.js') }}"></script>

is how i usually do them

for flask

[timber jungle]

Yeah, that's what i did.
I just need to validate a mail (\W|^)[\w.\-]{0,64}@(google)\.com(\W|$)

only for google.com for example.

[cloud path]

does anyone know why it doesn't add the thing in the database?

that's the color of how usually should appear, but it turns into it just with syntax errors

i dunno why it's all the same color above

[dense slate]

I suppose you could write a function in the models.py of the table you want to clear that just deletes all the entries.

[somber flicker]

please i am building a rest api server in python with fastapi and i have this error.
ImportError: cannot import name 'Entreprise' from partially initialized module 'schemas' (most likely due to a circular import) Can anyone help me?

[dense slate]

Maybe you have a circular import?

[somber flicker]

yes... but i don't know how to fix it

[dense slate]

Circular import means you're importing aa module into one file, but then that same file is trying to import from the original file so it is stuck in an importing loop

So look to see if you are importing one file into the other and then back again - if that makes sense

Sometimes you can be importing A into B, and then B into C, but C is imported into A, so it still creates a circle

You'd have to show relevant code for more help.

[somber flicker]

this is my __init__.py file where I import all the other files.
now in each file on /schemas I do from schemas import Pole, User or (...) as needed

it is in the schemas folder that I have this error not in the others

[warped aurora]

Anyone use selenium wire?

[stable bear]

what are some of the main services that allow hosting of a web application?

[ionic raft]

I'd encourage reading up about how time zones work in Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/i18n/timezones/

That said, I've been using Django for just under a year now and I'm finally starting to get clear about it. Your comment about the field in the model brings to mind the difference between a naive DateTime field and a timezone aware one. One approach I've taken is to use default=timezone.now() within the model itself.

However, where things get really interesting is understanding how timezone awareness plays out for an application that is used by users in different timezones. How you want to approach this will depend on your use cases; which is why there isn't one simple answer for you. For example, will you be using these DateTime fields for date calculations? How do you want DateTime fields to display to users?

[dense slate]

The most accepted way is to keep timzones as UTC in the DB and then convert to the user's timezone as needed. You can do that on the front end with JS or on the backend, such as setting a timezone on a user profile (let them choose potentially), and then setting timeobject.now(tzinfo=users_timezone) before returning it.

[timber jungle]

in my opinion, i think you are importing Entreprise twice, line 4

[timber jungle]

You should try to remove "Entreprise" from line 4
from .entreprise import EntrepriseCreate, EntrepriseInDBBase

[warped aurora]

Need some help logging into and navigating a page. I was using selenium before but they've since added csrf tokens to the page and now I'm having a problem. Not sure how to grab to csrf for the current session and pass it with the driver

[wicked pier]

I can't get Flask auto reloading to work. It says it's reloading, but the template doesn't change

Like if I add text somewhere in the template and save, it doesn't show up until I refresh the page

[outer apex]

Auto-reload is not auto-refresh of the page. The reload means the development server uses the new Flask instance.

[outer apex]

You could use something like this for live reload
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56972813/how-to-automate-browser-refresh-when-developing-an-flask-app-with-python

[timber jungle]

Is it possible in Flask to have a flash message

And in the html file, for an input text box

jinja to search for a regex and show a flask flash message if the regex is not matched?

[tame wagon]

is there any good resource for learning selinium for web scraping?

also, I heard scrapy is WAY faster but it doesn't load javascript so you can't interact with javascript components

is there a workaround or is selinium the only option in that case?

[unkempt temple]

selenium is the best option if you would like to simulate javascript

you can use headless mode to speed things up a bit

[velvet goblet]

As far as django tutorials go is there a difference between watching Sentdex or Corey Schafers?

My flask command is suddenly not working

this error pops up: 'flask' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I already added it to path

i even uninstalled and installed it

flask runs fine on my web-app but dosent work in command prompt

maybe it is installed on a venv?

[whole spear]

           // some code here
            if (agent) {
                // move the agent
                console.log(input[i], input[i].move, input[i]["move"])
                if (input[i].move) {
                    console.log(input[i], i)
                    let moveDirection = input[i]["move"];
                    // some code here as well

on the first console log it prints everything fine

but on the second input[i] and i become undefined

how can i solve it?

        for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
            let agent = this.getAgentById(input[i].id);
            if (agent) {
                // move the agent
                console.log(input[i], input[i].move, input[i]["move"], i)
                if (input[i].move) {
                    console.log(input, i)
                    let moveDirection = input[i]["move"];
                    // let moveDirection = [0,0]
                    let i = agent.i + moveDirection[0];
                    let j = agent.j + moveDirection[1];
                    if (i >= 0 && i < this.gridSize && j >= 0 && j < this.gridSize) {

how do i validate unique constraints in serializers? I have this

            models.UniqueConstraint(
                fields=["time"],
                condition=~models.Q(status="L"),
                name="unique_not_cancel_time",
            )

[ionic raft]

Agreed. And implementing timezones effectively through the project, particularly with numerous datetime fields, can prove interesting. I'm getting the hang of it, and with the latest project I think I have it. Testing across timezones will be the proof though. 🙂

Hi all,
I work on an API with FastAPI which adds game cards entries to a mongoDB with file upload for front and back images of the game card.
Should I split the file upload and the create endpoint for creating a game card? The workflow would basically type all the infos into a form, add the images and create the card. But what is best practice for adding File Upload?
Is it better to split this into two api calls for error handling?
thanks 🙂

Hello! making an web app with Django. in Frontend trying to make buttons that can see only owner of Topic using Django Template Language.

    </div>

    {% for entry in entries %}
        <div class="card mb-3">
            <h4 class="card-header">
               {{ entry.date_added|date:'M d, Y H:i' }} {# '|' фильтр применяющий дальше формат даты. !Регистр имеет значение #}

                <p>{{ entry.text|linebreaks }}</p> {# linebreaks следит чтобы все разрывы текста присутствовали на самом деле #}
            </div>

but its not works.
1 screenshot is how it works now

    """Тема изучаемая пользователем"""
    text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    owner = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    public = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    def __str__(self):
        """Возвращает строковое представеление модели"""
        return self.text```

Topic Model. User model is default to Django

[compact glacier]

OK. fixed it. im not sure. but since i refer in Topic model to User model, not to User.username, i should check
{% user == topic.owner %}
now it works

do you guys know how to use React?
how do i loop through the contents of a list and put them in my jsx?

const listItems = [
    "apple",
    "banana",
    "grapes",
    "petchay",
    "apardor"
]

function List(){
    return(
        <ul>
            {listItems.map((li) => {
                return (
                    <li>{li}</li>
                )
            })}
        </ul>
    )
}

this works but i get error saying please use prop key what

[glass wren]

you only need to provide a key for every list item, react wants to be able to differentiate one list item from another if they change which is why it asks for that https://reactjs.org/docs/lists-and-keys.html#keys

[ruby sorrel]

ty keys are arbitrary? what are keys? lol

[glass wren]

the link offers far better explanation 🙂

[ruby sorrel]

yes i'm reading now. it looks like how keys are with objects? so in my example.

function List(){
    return(
        <ul>
            {listItems.map((li.actualItem) => {
                return (
                    <li>{li.actualItem}</li>
                )
            })}
        </ul>
    )
}

?

nope lol

wait keys are supposed to be given as an attribute property to the element, and as a parameter to the function?

here we go this got rid of that error

function List(){
    return(
        <ul>
            {listItems.map((li, text) => {
                return (
                    <li key={text}>{li}</li>
                )
            })}
        </ul>
    )
}

not sure if im doing it right though

[runic furnace]

I'm using Flask with SQLAlchemy, when creating a user I want to create some sort of object which stores all their settings from the program (not the user credentials), what would be the best way to accomplish this?

I thought that if I were to put that in the user class the class would get to big once the application expands

Maybe create another separate settings class?

Does anyone know a good way to solve this?

[ruby sorrel]

i think what you want is a new table with the user settings and use one-to-many relationship using the your initial user primary key?

[runic furnace]

yes I think

[ruby sorrel]

you can also just use the same table for now and move the columns to a new table in the future. if it deoes become needed

[runic furnace]

yeah, SQL is a bit hard for me

but storing in the same table would be the easiest route

on the other hand maybe doing it good the first time would prevent a lot of work down the road

[glass wren]

if i'm understanding this correctly: you want to be able to store some user 'settings' in the server/SQL

if that is the case then a relationship between two tables might be what you're looking for, like bregue suggested

something like this

one thing i've learned from SQL tables is:
Normalize it until it hurts, Denormalize it until it works 🤣

[quasi forge]

can flask build a very good quality website?
can flask replace javascript + css? thank you

[frank shoal]

no.

But you could vendor css and javascript libraries using npm/yarn

[cinder whale]

oh hey im using that rn

[fickle basin]

anyone up for 10 mn ?

[patent glade]

If I wanted to implement a DOM api for python

Something which you could work with using the same function calls, the same structure

Walk the same walk as with any standard vanilla javascript, in the important ways

Where do I start?

What I've done so far is implement a Node class, inheriting from an EventTarget class

And then numerous subclasses of Node including Element, CData (Text, Comment, Instruction, Doctype), Document, and Attr

A NodeList class to represent a Node's childNodes attribute and an Element's children attribute

And a NamedNodeList class to contain the values of an element's DOM attributes

And I think that's it. Does all that check out?

[idle berry]

how can i make my flask website do this?

[sand gull]

I was working with Django/Wagtail when I ran into this error message
'NoneType' object has no attribute '_inc_path'
Does anybody know how to fix this?

[ripe wagon]

!

[gentle jasper]

use js for that

and sends the data by rest api

[idle berry]

ohh.... idk anything about js... any way that it can be done with flask or other python framework?

[native tide]

for that prompt? no ig.. u need to use js for those prompts

:'/

[idle berry]

ah damn. thanks

[meager valve]

How to redirect with delay from backend in general? instead of using Js

[native tide]

which framework you're using?

[meager valve]

I'm using Flask

[native tide]

ok idk.. nvm 😂 ||(if it was django.. i could have been of some help.. :"/ )||

let's wait for someone who knows .. :")

[meager valve]

sure whyn't

[meager valve]

I can switch my entire code to Django if u can help me

[native tide]

i can help, but won't spoonfeed

:")

for redirect in django

u can use

!d django.shortcuts.redirect

[lavish prism]

django.shortcuts.redirect

redirect(to, *args, permanent=False, **kwargs)```
Returns an [`HttpResponseRedirect`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpResponseRedirect "django.http.HttpResponseRedirect") to the appropriate URL for the arguments passed.

The arguments could be:

• A model: the model’s [`get_absolute_url()`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.Model.get_absolute_url "django.db.models.Model.get_absolute_url") function will be called.
 • A view name, possibly with arguments: [`reverse()`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/urlresolvers/#django.urls.reverse "django.urls.reverse") will be used to reverse-resolve the name.
 • An absolute or relative URL, which will be used as-is for the redirect location.
 
 By default issues a temporary redirect; pass `permanent=True` to issue a permanent redirect.

[native tide]

yes ^

[meager valve]

will that work if I have already returned response and run this in threaded process to redirect?

[native tide]

returned response as in? redirect is redirect.. i didn't get that part 🤔

[meager valve]

Let me explain what I mean to ask

lets say I have a background process awaits to be accomplish,
So how could I redirect after its completed without response timeout.
That's what I'm looking for

[native tide]

🤔 well.. it's like in django.. u make function for redirecting ( to a website) or rendering (any html file) so inside that function u can do whatever u want

but at this point.. i'm not sure if that function can be async.. cuz i never tired to do it.. lemme search on google... lol

[meager valve]

wait I'll send u screen shot

[native tide]

alright

[cerulean badge]

I need help on design decisions, I am making a resume builder webapp with free and paid templates, my questions is should I be generating pdf on server side and send to frontend or just send the html and css of the template to frontend and let them handle the conversion? (Converting html to pdf seems like very heavy task to be done on the backend but I think I can do it asynchronously using celery and send the user an email with the pdf attachment) what do you suggest?

[nimble berry]

don't be discouraged, that is not a prompt made by js, it is the browsers built in authentication prompt

it is usually configured directly in the configuration for the web server or using an .htaccess file in a content directory
but there is a way to do it using flask (in your case, other frameworks can of course also do it) as well using: https://flask-httpauth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

the most common type of http authentication is the one called basic authentication, one of the most impotent things to remember with this is that it is very insecure if not used over TLS/SSL (https:// urls)
you can read more about http authentication works here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication
from the above link:

Security of basic authentication

As the user ID and password are passed over the network as clear text (it is base64 encoded, but base64 is a reversible encoding), the basic authentication scheme is not secure. HTTPS/TLS should be used with basic authentication. Without these additional security enhancements, basic authentication should not be used to protect sensitive or valuable information.

@gentle jasper and @native tide, you probably also want to check http authentication mentioned above

[nimble berry]

you can't redirect using the http protocol after you already sent other data in response to a request as redirecting that way is a 3xx http response
if you have not closed the html <head> tag yet you can use html redirect to accomplish what you want
if that option isn't feasible due to that restriction you could go with redirecting using javascript anywhere in the page
for information on all the three above mentioned methods: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Redirections

Any of yall who can help in web scrapping data?
I am new to python

[olive canopy]

I want to provide the content of a log file to a webpage, with it updating the new lines as they get added (I do have access to the process that logs into the file, so I could do it directly if possible) but preferably without the webpage refreshing and removing selections/scrolling back up/down etc..
Does anyone know of a way how I could potentially do this?
I've been searching but haven't really found anything..

Ping if you have an idea thanks

[nimble berry]

depending on what you want to do the requests and beautifulsoup4 libraries my be of interest to you

[bold star]

yes

a requests lib tutorial may help

[meager valve]

I'm attempting to upload a file, process it, and then download it. To do this, I submitted a POST request to the server at the '/upload' route, and the server should redirect to the download page after processing the uploaded file.
However, the difficulty is that it experiences response timeouts as a result of the processing large file.
I tried multithreading, but even with that, you can only respond to a request once, so you can't redirect once you have respond a request in a separate process Thread.

How can I redirect as soon as the uploaded file has been processed?

[versed lotus]

if you got a long running processing task, it's more common to run the task as a separate process instead, and have it scheduled using some task/job runner (dramatiq, celery?) ... on the download page you might then instead see the progress of the process. Or maybe get redirect first to a progress page, and once done, get redirected further to the download page....

[meager valve]

redirect first to a progress page, and once done, get redirected further to the download page

Could you please clarify this part? It may appear straightforward, but I'm not sure I understand the procedure.

[versed lotus]

the way it's done. when you upload a file, you start a background process and immediately redirect to a progress page. usually those job runners have some kind of ID that represent the job that is running in the background, so you would pass that ID along to the progress page.
once there, you can regularly (javascript?) check with the job id, if the task is finished or not. and once finished, have the browser redirect to the downloads page (with javascript as well, probably).

there are other ways of course.

[meager valve]

Server-sent events?

[versed lotus]

uhm possibly? that would require websockets probably, but still javascript on the frontend

you could do without javascript, and just start the job after upload, store the job id in database or something, immediately redirect to the download page, and list all finished files and still-in-progress files... simple F5 would then update the list

[idle berry]

Thanks a lot for this info!

[hybrid patio]

Hello guys

I have simple question

I use VSC and Django FM

Someone give me advice witch theme is the best for this FM? thx

[native tide]

#help-pancakes

[nimble berry]

you can't immediately redirect the client as you need to wait for the file to upload unless you start a background thread on the browser side using javascript

for a nice user experience you probably want to use javascript for the upload

[hard whale]

Flask or fastAPI for webdev newbie? quick answer:)

[inland oak]

Flask of course for newbie

Django for mid

FastAPI for expert ;b

[hard whale]

Ok, some arguments then 😄

[inland oak]

Flask and Django are from Sync ecosystem of python. Sync is easier.
FastAPI is from async.

Flask is microframework that will train you from zero doing everything on its own. A bit more healthy for beginners I think

Django and FastAPI both frameworks of battery included approach, A lot of stuff out of the box. Better to try microframework like Flask first before diving into them. U will have better understanding what u use then

[rigid laurel]

FastAPI doesn't have to be async and often isn't

[hard whale]

Hmm, I started with FastAPI and it feels quite comfortable to work with

[rigid laurel]

If it's a good for for your project, then start with FastAPI

[inland oak]

Then go with it then 😉 FastAPI looks 20% cooler

[mortal ledge]

Quart is an async implementation of Flask.

[inland oak]

real project use FastAPI or Django I think

Flask is a bit useless because.... it has no... advantages

[rigid laurel]

There's a lot of legacy flask applications because it used to be the easiest way to spin up a quick rest API, but not any more really

[inland oak]

I tried it. It is ugly thing that should NEVER be used. It is a bastard between Flask and Async ecosystem. With half of libraries from Flask, and half from Quart. It is not a framework. It is Frankenstein!!! https://www.spelshop.be/7659-large_default/frankenstein.jpg

[hard whale]

I saw many job offers for django devs but from my IT insides large companies move to FastAPI these days 🙂

Just faster to deploy

[mortal ledge]

Are you trolling... WTF. Flask is bit useless, Quart should Never be used really?

[inland oak]

Quart should never be used.

It has really hard compatibility within its own libraries

they aren't really correlated with each other

Authors assume the person would use compatibility mode with Flask

and it works... and not works. Just lucky chance

[mortal ledge]

I have never had such issues

[inland oak]

Flask just has no advantages in comparison to Django or FastAPI.

I am serious 😉

that's the only reason

anything flask has, Django or FastAPI can do better

[hard whale]

And flask logo is ugly

[mortal ledge]

It has one really big advantage, it is simple and basic for when your goal isn't to build beast of an application.

[mortal ledge]

Seriously!

[inland oak]

we need beasts. preferably built yesterday

[hard whale]

edit more!

😄

[inland oak]

We always strive for perfection

[gentle jasper]

thanks

[native tide]

Is there some guide on how do I set up quart? Because I think I set it up wrongly

[inland oak]

have mercy upon yourself. Use Flask or FastAPI

[hard whale]

😄

[hard whale]

FastAPI is fine, try it, it's modern and cool, and devs get many money for it

[native tide]

Ain't Quart just async Flask?

[native tide]

I thought FastAPI is for different purposes than Quart?

[hard whale]

Probably

What you wanna do?

[inland oak]

Quart is failed attempt to make async Flask. Which you don't need nowdays anyway. Quart was invented because Flask made slow work in the past to introduce asynciness.
But Flask 2.0 is ASYNC already. And yeah FastAPI is Async which is more mature anyway, so if u wish async, use FastAPI

[native tide]

The flask tutorial that I'm using rn feels so confusing lol; like how do I get that file path??? and why am I running the webserver out of the venv lol https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.1.x/tutorial/

[hard whale]

Wen in these regards fastapi is teh same lol

But nicer logo

[native tide]

Ouh I see. I thought Flask has always been non-async and quart is async. Idk about Fastapi and I don't think I wanna move from Flask to it lol. I'll just stick to flask then

@hard whale Just wanted to troll around with webservers lol

[native tide]

Does it have the same stuff as flask? Like render_template and stuff

[hard whale]

Mostly yes

[native tide]

Also if I'm following this, do I just pip install flask out of my venv https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.1.x/tutorial/

[hard whale]

I know that big companies use either django or fastapy

[native tide]

But I'm too lazy to switch aaaaa

[hard whale]

so if you want to get a job, fastapi might be a better choice

[native tide]

Hold up let me see if fastapi has a better tutorial

[hard whale]

fastapi looks 99% the same

fastapi has a lovely tutorial

trust me

i started with flash, couldn't run a server for 3 days

tried fastapi, server is up in 30 min

20 of those 30 min i was scratching my butt and making myself a cup of tea

[native tide]

Ah yes my struggle

[native tide]

That must be one itchy butt

[hard whale]

I'm a newbie and I don't know all the stuff under the hood but some large international banks use fastapi for their apps

and they say "oh you know django, cool you suffered much, enjoy fastapi now coz we need to build and deploy FAST"

there must be some core reason why they moved to fastAPi in the end

[hard whale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESVwKQLldjg try this

It will take time to understand how all this work BUT at least it will work

[native tide]

Ahh I see. I always thought flask is the most common one lol

[hard whale]

Just dont forget to up your venv

Same here, flask was my first go to

[native tide]

Ah thanks for that

Tho I'm using the fastapi article tutorial thing

[hard whale]

But after 3 days of pain I was suggested this

And oh Lord

[native tide]

Uh huh I'll keep that in mind

[hard whale]

It is lovely

Now i'm struggling with my app creating db in venv instead of project folder

[stable bear]

what are the most popular hosting services for web apps?

[grizzled mirage]

Django question:
I have two models (Chat and User).
Chat and User have a Many-To-Many relationship.

How can I check if a users exists to add them to the Relationship in Chat? What Response is possible if it doesn't exists?

[candid meteor]

objects.filter(blah blah).exists()

if yeah, then add it

[grizzled mirage]

and if not? How can I validate that @candid meteor

/ give a correct Response

[candid meteor]

it will return False lol

[grizzled mirage]

Yeah I know that. But how can I tell the user (via. rest api) that the user didn't exist

[grizzled mirage]

with a correct status code etc.

I have users in a Chat object.
If I try to use for user in data['users']: it'll give me a key error bcs users is not in the request. How can I validate that users is in the json req

[candid meteor]

try .json()

like

data.json()['users']

[stable bear]

for a flask web application, do sqlite databases work in aws elastic beanstalk?

[rigid laurel]

No - it wouldn't because you get "new" instances of your app spinning up and down which would mean you lose the information

you need the database to exist on some remote server

[stable bear]

[worn crystal]

First off, hello, if this needs to be moved to another channel please let me know
I'm trying to deploy my webapp to azure and i ran into some trouble on my db migration. I'm following this tutorial https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/tutorial-python-postgresql-app?tabs=flask%2Cwindows%2Cvscode-aztools%2Cterminal-bash%2Cazure-portal-access%2Cvscode-aztools-deploy%2Cdeploy-instructions-azportal%2Cdeploy-instructions--zip-azcli%2Cdeploy-instructions-curl-bash
and i got to step seven pretty easily but for some reason it's telling me it cannot import frontend(frontend.py is my flaskapp but idk if that is something that is causing the issue) and then it's telling me that there is no such command as db. If anyone could help me out then that'd be great 🙂
Also, including the current issue and an issue i had earlier with flask_app not being defined(i think i fixed it with an export)export FLASK_APP=frontend.py
also, this is the command i'm using to do the db migration flask db init

or is my understanding of the db migration tutorial wrong and do i have to look up another way to deploy my flask app to azure?

[timber jungle]

try to rename your frontend.py into app.py
flask is pretty sensitive about filenames and folder structure

[worn crystal]

okay, I renamed it and am deploying again. hopefully it works fine this time

i'm following the tutorial loosely if that makes a difference? I have my own code and project that i'm trying to upload. I'm just following along the steps needed to bring my stuff online

[timber jungle]

the code you are using should not matter.

[worn crystal]

@timber jungle it was saying the same thing but this time it could not import "app"

could this be the issue?

[timber jungle]

did you set the env variable to the new name of the file?

[worn crystal]

when i ssh into my server i navigated into the proper directory with my app.py and exported it export FLASK_APP=app.py so i think it should be okay but I'll reupload and try again with that.
btw when i tried what i first said in this message it gave me a lot of errors and this was the last thing that was actually legible sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (psycopg2.OperationalError) could not translate host name "test-server" to address: Name or service not known

[timber jungle]

you will have to solve every error encountered.
It may be a one of the reasons why it fails.

[worn crystal]

:/

thank you for the help so far

Anyone used GraphQL with Django/python and seen that a query is called once but the associated resolvers in Django are actually run 3 or 4 times? react + apollo/graphql/graphene + django

I can't seem to track down how that's happening.

you should be able to fix that issue with css and using relative units for sizing things of the page, and you probably want to set maximum and minimum sizes as well

I'm actually just realizing too that some of my resolvers are running without them being called on the FE.

I called one query just now, ran it correctly, but another query also ran (according to django) without signaling in my chrome debug tools that it was called (no console logging)

Resolvers under the same query class don't automatically run together right? Or can one trigger another?

[keen zephyr]

Hello there! I'm trying to make a Flask-based API hosted on Heroku. I have a global method that creates responses and it looks the following way:

def response(body = None, code = ResponseCode.SUCCESS, message = "") -> flask.Response:
    if message == "":
        if code == 200:
            message = "Success"
        elif code == 404:
            message = "Not Found"
    else:
        message = message
    response =  jsonify(body)
    response.status_code = code;
    response.headers.add_header('message', message)
    print('Responsing with:\nMessage: ' + str(message) + '\nCode: ' + str(code) + '\nBody: ' + str(response.data) + '\n')
    return response

And so, when I have to handle some request I do the following:

@api.post('/some-route')
def some_route():
  # Do some stuff here
  return response({'some_key': 'some_value', ... })

Such thing causes H17 error on Heroku when responding.
Here is the description of H17 error in detail: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/error-codes#h17-poorly-formatted-http-response

Does anyone know if there is a way to run PyCharm over web like VSCode?

[nimble berry]

VSCode is written in TypeScript which is then transpiled to JavaScript which can both run in the browser and on the desktop using Electron
PyCharm on the other hand is written mainly in Java, which will be a lot more work to port over to be able to run it on the client side within the browser nowadays (java applets are dead since quite a while back, and good riddance for that)

I have models Resume and Education, and education have a fk to resume, I need some suggestions for the urls. I have the urls for list and detail view for resume - /resumes/, /resumes/<int:resume_pk>/ and for education list i have /resumes/<int:resume_pk>/educations/, what url do you suggest for the education detail view? i can do /resumes/<int:resume_pk>/educations/<int:education_pk>/ and then take the education pk to get the education object, here resume_pk is unnecessary and may make confusion, or i could just remove it and now the url is not as obvious as before, /resumes/educations/<int:education_pk>/

lmk if this is the wrong channel as idk if web scraping counts as web development

[mortal ledge]

sales is a list, in other words tree.xpath returned a list, and my guess is that there multiple elements on the page that match your xpath criteria. Print sales without .text and see what you get and go from there.

[arctic bluff]

thank you, oh yeah sorry when i print without .text i get [<Element h3 at 0x101957dd0>]

is there another way to do it without xpath that wouldnt run into this issue

with .text i get error

[mortal ledge]

It isn't an issue. It seems that tree.xpath returns a list whether there is one or many elements found. In your case all you need to do is print(sales[0].text) and you will get the result you want.

[arctic bluff]

you are an absolute legend, thank you SO much

been doing this for hours

trying to google and couldnt find

[hard whale]

Ayo guys anyone has experience with SQLModel for FastAPI? I heard it collapses pydantic and sqlalchemy into same one file aka easyer to work with sql

Is it really that good?

I use 2 separate files now and sintax differences are a bit confusing

[mortal ledge]

Idk about legend. If you want a more robust solution. Instead of just print element [0], iterate through the sales list.

for sale in sales:
    print(sale.text)

This will give you the same result, but if you did have many elements it would print each of them.

[arctic bluff]

thank you!

[arctic bluff]

for some reason i get list index out of range sometimes

it might be a problem with the site when im changing product tbf

is there any other way to get information without the xpath

as i need a different xpath depending on the user input

or possibly just take a screenshot of the whole page that the user inputs tbf

[mortal ledge]

List index out of range means that the you are trying to index an element that doesn't exists. So if you list has one element and you my_list[1] it will throw that error. If you are getting that error with [0] it means that you are getting an empty list.
If you use my second solution,for sale in sales. then this wont be a problem, it simply wont print anything. Another solution is to first test the list to make sure it is not empty:

if len(sales) > 0:
    print(sales[0])
else:
    print("nothing found")

[arctic bluff]

ahhh ok thank you

sweet

is it possible to take a screenshot, send it and then delete it straight after?

[mortal ledge]

idk

[arctic bluff]

ok nws, thank you anyway youve saved me for a lot of this project

[mortal ledge]

My pleasure!

Is there a way to run a python file (on the pc running the flask server) through a button on my website?

[mortal ledge]

What does the file do?

[frank shoal]

Simplest way assuming it is its own program and not a function:

import subprocess
import sys

subprocess.run([sys.executable, "/path/to/script", *args])

[rigid mist]

Well, I don't have any particular function there right now. Although I've tried to just open a picture to check if I even can start a file through a button, but it runs each time I save the python, and not when I click the button. If that makes sense?

[rigid mist]

I know the python side of it, but I don't how to or where to activate the python file from lets say a button click.

[frank shoal]

you mean from html?

[rigid mist]

Yes, both from html and in the flask part of the server python file (if there is anything I need to fix there).

[frank shoal]

<button onclick="runFile">Run</button>

<script>
async function runFile(event) {
  event.target.disabled = true;
  try {
    await fetch("/runfile", {method: "POST"});
  } catch (e) {
    alert(e);
  } finally {
    event.target.disabled = false;
  }
}
</script>

in flask

@app.post("/runfile")
def run_file():
  subprocess.run(...)

the only part of the function that's really needed is fetch

the rest is boilerplate and can be excluded if you don't want to handle errors or double clicking

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/fetch

[mortal ledge]

I'm going to disagree with this approach. The js/ajax approach is fine, but I server side I would handle it much differently. First, you should have the server respond back with a some kind of a message "success" "fail" message so that the user get's feed back as to whether the function call was successful.

[frank shoal]

I was doing a very simple example.

[mortal ledge]

Second I wouldn't use subprocess. I would import the function into the flask file and call it from flask directly.

[frank shoal]

And yes, using a function is always better.

[mortal ledge]

I get that, but in my opinion there are place to cut corners and providing a success feedback is not one of them, as it is simple enough to do. All you need is for your end point to return a jsonify'ed response with {"success": True} after the process returns (or False).

[frank shoal]

I'm also lazy, so there's that.

[mortal ledge]

The work with respect to response is handling the it on the client side. But the lazy way would be to simply show an alert.

[frank shoal]

Which is what I did. But it only alerts if there was a network error

[mortal ledge]

<script>
async function runFile(event) {
  event.target.disabled = true;
  fetch("/runfile", {method: "POST"})
  .then( resp => {
    if(resp.success){
      alert("Success that worked")
    } else {
      alert("Something went wrong with the python script")
    }
  })
  .catch (e => console.err("error:", e);
}
</script>

[frank shoal]

Why use the promise api in an async function?

just await it.

[manic crane]

can anyone help me with this error ? => django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: table "Occupy_clique_occupiers" does not exist

[mortal ledge]

I copied your code and forget to remove the async, but either way it works. I prefer using promise.then().catch().

[stable bear]

when is it better to use a web builder like wordpress, compared to full coding?

[native tide]

I'm working on a flask api but I want to use the api for other people not on my network how can I make it so the python script uses my IP address to fullfill the task?

[real edge]

you new to use 0.0.0.0 host ip

Then it uses available inner IP dhcp adress so you could find it localaly, like in wifi

To through it available OUTER ( you need to got to your router and forward this ip in and port ) so anyone could see it by you're router IP and forwarded port

[fickle basin]

anyway to change the from in django when user select something without using jquery ?

or the more suitable way to do it drys

[drifting flare]

I’m wanna set up an interface for my optimization program where the user can simply put in the data without needing to know python

[inland oak]

When all u need is simple landing page without any special functionality.

Or when you build super ordinary product, like electronic shop for a really cheap client

Basically... As long as word press has required functionality to make the stuff, u a fine.
If u stepped out of its limits... Then better to be not using it

[elder rover]

How about htmx

[sacred crane]

api_names = ["/predict",'/predict_solubility','/predict_two','/predict_solubility_json']

@app.get(api_names[0])
async def predict(background_tasks: BackgroundTasks,solute,solvent):
    background_tasks.add_task(predict_dum.get(0),solute,solvent)
    return {'success'}

@app.get(api_names[1])
async def post():
    return {'result': response}
  
@app.get(api_names[2])
async def predict_two(background_tasks: BackgroundTasks,solute):
    background_tasks.add_task(predict_dum.get(1),solute)
    return {'success'}

@app.get(api_names[3])
async def post():
    return {'result': attach_drug_name()}

I am having a fastapi which does predictions on two end points and returns response. The background tasks were implemented using fastapi workers. Now how can i shift it to celery workers.

[visual gull]

Try using fastapi

It is very neat, simple and fast

[dawn shard]

anyone has some tutorial to split backend and frontend for beginners?

I have no idea how to do that, but looks like something funto try.

[native tide]

Mhm and how do I make it use my network

instead of 127.0.0.1

[marsh canyon]

you need find you local IP address and then use that instead of 127.0.0.1

@native tide

if you are on windows, try the command ipconfig

[formal bronze]

            'title' : forms.TextInput(widgets=attrs={'class':'form-control', 'placeholder' : 'Title'}),

            'url' : forms.URLField(attrs={'class':'form-control','placeholder' : 'Paste your url here...'}),
        }

I want to add placeholder but this error is coming
init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'attrs'

[visual gull]

I'm not sure wym

[hard whale]

What is easier implemented with FastAPI (optionally SQLModel):

1. Let cliend request data from db via API
2. Just scrape this data from web page displaying the very same table
   ?

Webscraping tables must be tricky

[inland oak]

WTF...

3. let client request data from Backend app endpoint, that returns data in json format. The Backend app makes request to db.

[stark mesa]

Im having troubles with django urls. for some reason my main urls cant detect my other 2nd apps urls. it worked fine for the first one

[hard whale]

Django is so complicated 😫

[royal mountain]

Django is pain 🙂

[stark mesa]

i love it tho. gets my brain going

[hard whale]

God bless fastapi

Doesn't get brain going but doesn't even require you to have one to do your stuff

[royal mountain]

@stark mesa can you help me with this one please and give us the code in urls.py (main one)

[stark mesa]

alright

[stark mesa]

from django.contrib import admin

[hard whale]

Together we can

Lets make shitcoding great again

[stark mesa]

lets make coding great again

been tryna solvee this for almost an hour

i even tried this as a test if it would fix it

path('basket/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
path('basket/', include("basket.urls", namespace='basket')),

if i cant fix this imma just put it on hold and just move onto another

type_queryset = qs.annotate(
                    type=Value(type, output_field=CharField()),
                    date=Case(
                           When(previous_date=None,
                              then=F('next_date')),
                           default=(F('previous_date') + (F('next_date') - F('previous_date'))/2)
                         )
                )

Expression contains mixed types: DateTimeField, DurationField. You must set output_field.

how to fix errors like that?

[inland oak]

'date': Case(
                When(
                    previous_date=None,
                    then=ExpressionWrapper(F('next_date'), output_field=DateTimeField())
                ),
                default=ExpressionWrapper(F('previous_date') + 
                    ExpressionWrapper(
                        ExpressionWrapper(
                            F('next_date') - F('previous_date'), 
                            output_field=DurationField()
                        ) / 2, output_field=DurationField()
                    ), output_field=DateTimeField()
                )
            ),

Obviously somehow like this. But I have somewhere error 🤔

Lets think step by step.
next_date is a DateTime
previous_date is Datetime
their substraction is TimeDelta
/2 = still TimeDelta

previous_date + TimeDelta = DateTimeField. Looks like everything is correct, but it is wrong 🤔

how to debug it

step by step 😉

I don't get it

Case(
                When(
                    previous_date=None,
                    then=F('next_date')
                ),
                default=F('next_date')
            )

this works

Case(
                When(
                    previous_date=None,
                    then=F('next_date')
                ),
                default=ExpressionWrapper(F('next_date'), output_field=DateTimeField())
            )

this does not work

it is supposed to be working. It is the same F expression but with specified DateTimeField type...

[inland oak]

nvm. I solved it + multiple other cases, xD stuck in another one

[royal mountain]

is there a way to save multiple form data in one table ?

[nimble berry]

from multiple html forms to html tables or database tables?
you probably need to tell us a little bit more about what you want to do and an example of the type of data

[worn crystal]

i have a db with a bunch of entries that i want to use in an autofill function
so like if a user types into the search bar- "pok"
under the search bar i want like the top 3 alike things pop up under the search bar. If anyone has a suggestion on how or what to look at to do this i'd greatly appreciate it

[fast sun]

Guuuys, strange question
What's safer: Django web framework or just FastApi?

[stable bear]

When using Flask, is it easier to use a MySQL database or a SQLite database?

[fast sun]

Depends
Example: You can use SQLAlchemy, so api looks the same, using you SQLite or MySql driver

[stable bear]

If you use sqlalchemy, how would you deploy to heroku?
i have heard that you need something called postgres

[fast sun]

PostgreSQL is relation database
You can use it as SQLAlchemy as driver instead of MySql
Also it`s very not recommended to deploy sqlite db on heroku

[river remnant]

Django web framework i think

or better, I use django

[serene prawn]

What do you mean by "safer" ?

[fast sun]

Yeah.. I mean strange question
"safer" about number of possible vulnerabilities

[serene prawn]

It depends on you really

[fast sun]

Also, vulns made by beginner

[serene prawn]

Most vulnerabilities come with authentication, authorization and input validation

I personally would not recommend Django for building APIs

[nimble berry]

django has a lot more code in the project and is also much older and has many more users then fastapi, so it might be very hard and unfair to compare them
but if you search the internet for known "security vulnerabilities" for each of the two projects you'll find many more and many times more severe vulnerabilities for django then fastapi

[fast sun]

Thanks for answering :>

[serene prawn]

Django is just old at this moment, if you're building api I would use fastapi

[nimble berry]

django has a lot of developers working on it and they are very transparent about their security vulnerabilities, which is a good thing, check out https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/releases/security/

[serene prawn]

Only advantage of using Django for me is built in authentication

And Django orm is just not very good

[nimble berry]

and here is the same for fastapi https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/security/advisories
i would say fastapi has a better security record (so far) 😆
as long as that list is indeed complete and they are as transparent about them as the django team is, we can only hope

[spiral kestrel]

Hi guys , i got a customer that wants e-commerce website for one usage (concert ticket selling website) , i couldnt gave him a price , what do you think about it ? How much that costs generally

[nimble berry]

also consider that django has been around soon to be 17 years, while fastapi only is little over 3 years old

[serene prawn]

Fastapi just also has smaller footprint: no built-in orm, authentication, etc

[nimble berry]

exactly, much smaller code base and thous a smaller vulnerability cross-section, even though that is not a guaranty for more secure code on it's own

[serene prawn]

There's just much less potential risks

[nimble berry]

but on the other hand you have to bring in all those missing pieces from somewhere else and then you have to trust that code too

[serene prawn]

Some services might not even need authentication, it could be handled by third party

[nimble berry]

and that those projects are as vigilant about fixing security bugs in a timely manner and that the project has enough eyes on it to find those vulnerabilities

[serene prawn]

Also i can't stress enough about how bad django orm is 😦

[nimble berry]

of course, but what i meant was that you need to bring the missing pieces that you do need your self

[frank shoal]

With flask, is it possible to specify some default options when using flask run?

[royal mountain]

@nimble berry Sorry I'm bad at telling problem.. hope it'll give you some idea

[frank shoal]

e.g. ```py

i still don't really understand what you are trying to achieve and the exact problem you are facing
and full disclosure: i'm not very good at django, never really cared for it

[royal mountain]

To be honest I can't understand Django either ... Its easy to learn new language than learning everything about django .. yea its makes things easier but need to know lot of django things .. I just made 4 split html form and want to add their data in single table... They have 1 table option.. but sake of customization I need 4

Is it possible to convert a flask web app into a desktop app?

[fast sun]

wdym?

[stable bear]

like an equivalent of electron js

a desktop app with the same ui and working in the same way as a flask web app

[nimble berry]

and you want it standalone without being dependent on an external web server?

[stable bear]

standalone would be ideal but i dont think thats possible

but the same ui, with api requests would be fine

[paper moon]

Well, I had a problem before, thought it was a ports issue but seems like its one with quart. I have a help channel opened, anyone mind looking at it? #help-pancakes

Hi I'm having some issues using fastapi with prisma client python. I'm trying to use prisma model like this:

@app.post("/add_temp")
async def add_temp(temp: Temp):

    return {"msg": "ok"}

the problem is that fast api expects the model Temp to have a field called id even though it's supposed to be generated.

someone help me sum all pixel colours?

u sure it's id is autoincrement or smth ?

hey guys
I deployed my flask app to heroku, but when I tried to access it for the first time, I got the application message that my page could not be served. In the terminal I got at=error code=H10 desc="App crashed" method=GET path="/" with status=503 and such status means that the server runs properly but can't be served at this time

does that really mean that I should just wait or what? is there a problem in my code? because my application runs with no problems locally. I've already waited 15 minutes and heroku still can't serve my page. Does anyone know what is going on?

restarting heroku did not help

my Procfile also looks correctly (no unnsecessary spacing) etc

[coral hatch]

this is my prisma.schema https://github.com/MichalUSER/weather_app_server_py/blob/prisma/prisma/schema.prisma

I think it's supposed to work but maybe I'm making some mistake

[serene prawn]

I don't think you're supposed to use database models in fastapi endpoints

[coral hatch]

what am I supposed to use theb

[serene prawn]

Create a schema model

[coral hatch]

because this is how I do it with expressjs in typescript

[serene prawn]

class PostSchema(BaseModel):
    id: str
    title: str
    content: str

class PostCreateSchema(BaseModel):
    title: str
    content: str

[coral hatch]

oh so I guess I will just have to do it this way

huh pretty annoying I'd say

[serene prawn]

It's not, your api schema shouldn't depends on your database models

[coral hatch]

the point of Prisma is to have a prisma.schema file that has models which are converted into classes that I can use normally

[serene prawn]

Well, but these are still your database models

You might need to change your database structure, your schema on the other hand shouldn't change

[coral hatch]

I see

[serene prawn]

Or you risk taking down prod 🙂

Because your clients (frontend, other services) used different schema

[coral hatch]

anyways thanks for your help I will look into it tomorrow

Hi

For django developers how d u test abstract models without inheriting it

[orchid fox]

Hello may I ask what license would you guys use for your website ?

I'm trying to pick a license but I don't know which one to choose because there are so many/

[frank shoal]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/datalist

[patent glade]

Okay, so like

Am I crazy?

Or is the DOM as implemented in Javascript fucking bonkers?

Example: The Document object is a node, except can't be/have a parent and can't be/have any children. All it gets, really, is inheriting from EventTarget by proxy

Window is NOT a node, even though its relationship to the rest of the program is pretty much the same as for Document, but window DOES inherit EventTarget directly

Attribute inherits from Node also, even though its basically just a tuple consisting of a name and a value (and of course, all the extra bagage it inherits from Node)

And yet a dozen other component classes of Element DONT inherit from Node

[sacred crane]

I am having a fast API that does ml predictions and uses celery for task queue.

prediction code

response = {}
async def predictions(solute, solvent):
      m = Chem.MolFromSmiles(solute,sanitize=False)
      n = Chem.MolFromSmiles(solvent,sanitize=False)
      mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles(solute)
      solute = Chem.MolToSmiles(mol)
      mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles(solvent)
      solvent = Chem.MolToSmiles(mol)
      interaction_map_one = torch.trunc(interaction_map)
      response["interaction_map"] = (interaction_map_one.detach().numpy()).tolist()
      response["predictions"] = delta_g.item()

and my function in worker.py

from model.model import predictions, response
@celery.task(name='predictions')
def predictions(solute, solvent):
    return {'result': response}

and main.py where i create the celery task

@app.get(api_names[0])
async def predict(solute,solvent):
    task = predictions.delay(solute,solvent)
    return JSONResponse({'task_id': task.id})

Actually, I am migrating from fast API background tasks to celery and facing problems with returning responses. When I am running it is giving an empty dictionary celery which means it's not running the prediction. But I don't know where I am doing wrong. If you can check the below picture you will understand what I am saying.

I am guessing I have done some wrong in the worker.py but not sure what it is.

[nimble berry]

what are you expecting to get back as a result from the call after you have migrated to celery?
remember that the celery job will probably not have run yet when you send the client the response, so you can't really reply with any result, only something like a job id that they can then poll for at another endpoint later in a loop with a pause in between each try and then break out of the loop when that endpoint with that job id returns something meaningful

[solid meadow]

I agree with @serene prawn, separation of concerns between your database and your API is important. Currently you can automatically generate additional pydantic models with only certain fields, make certain fields optional or required and point relational fields to another model. The only feature that is missing is renaming fields.

[coral hatch]

and how can I do that

[solid meadow]

https://prisma-client-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started/partial-types/

I've also opened a feature request to support renaming fields, https://github.com/RobertCraigie/prisma-client-py/issues/367

[coral hatch]

oh I see

either way I created another pydantic model for it so it works fine

[solid meadow]

Yeah that works too, the benefit of using Prisma's built in support for partial models is that you don't have to redefine the types

And if you don't care what fields are in the model, you just want non-relational fields only you can easily do that too without having to update all your models

[coral hatch]

yeah I'm trying to rewrite my prisma typescript express server in python so I was a little disappointed when I had to redefine the types again

[solid meadow]

yeah I was in a similar situation and was annoyed that I had to redefine the types, that's why I added partial model generation :)

[coral hatch]

also do you know if there is a OR keyword in prisma python? Because I couldn't find it

like I can do this in normal prisma:

    return await prisma.temp.findMany({
      where: {
        OR: [
          {
            "d": { "in": nowDays },
            "m": new Date().getMonth() + 1
          },
          {
            "d": { "in": beforeDays },
            "m": weekAgo.getMonth() + 1
          }
        ]
      }
    });

[solid meadow]

Yeah there is: https://prisma-client-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/operations/#or

What editor are you using?

[coral hatch]

lunarvim (neovim) at the moment

I'm running the pyright language server

I should be using pylsp as well I know

my bad

[solid meadow]

Ah I was just about to recommend that

[coral hatch]

although I'm not sure if they work well together

because pylance in vs code has to be a little different than pyright I think

[solid meadow]

Are you getting autocomplete for Prisma Python queries?

[coral hatch]

yeah I am

[solid meadow]

Great :)

I know some people struggled to get that setup so I just wanted to make sure you had it setup

It's arguably the best feature imo

[coral hatch]

yeah it's really good

[solid meadow]

Let me know if you have any more questions :)

[coral hatch]

I don't think I do so thanks for your help 🙂

actually I may have one question @solid meadow, is there a way to ommit the #type: ignore so pyright doesn't complain about id being None as seen here:

    async def add_last_temp(self, temp: TempClass):
        last_temp = await LastTemp.prisma().find_first()
        if last_temp is None:
            await LastTemp.prisma().create(data=jsonable_encoder(temp))
            return
        await LastTemp.prisma().update(where={'id': last_temp.id}, data=jsonable_encoder(temp)) #type: ignore

[solid meadow]

What does your LastTemp model look like in the schema?

If it's like ```prisma
model LastTemp {
id String? @id
}

Then you've marked the id field as optional which means you could run into a situation where last_temp.id is actually None

You could either handle that case by raising an error or update your model so that the id field isn't optional

[vivid canopy]

guy's what u think about rpa developer

[coral hatch]

oh ok but last_temp can be None because it's a find query

[solid meadow]

Yeah that's right

[zealous oar]

Hey, I have a Django Rest API endpoint that takes some data + image as an input, I'm trying to test this endpoint but I face a problem with sending an image
serializer.py

class CreatePackageSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    workshop_id = serializers.IntegerField()
    title = serializers.CharField(max_length=550)
    price = serializers.FloatField()
    image = serializers.ImageField()

and sending data like this by Pytest

from PIL import Image
img = Image.new(mode="RGB", size=(200, 200))    
data = {
    'workshop_id': 1,
    'title': 'Package Title',
     'price': 33,
     'image': img
   }

so drf gives my this error

AssertionError: assert [ErrorDetail(string='The submitted data was not a file. Check the encoding type on the form.', code='invalid')]

so, my question is how I can send the image as a file?

[autumn veldt]

this is more js then python but idk whare to ask cause no one answers me

i want to build extension when someone clicks on it runs a js code on the website the user is in, can someone help me please?

I can't help you but maybe ask in some django discord server

although I don't think they have an official discord server but there is the forum https://forum.djangoproject.com/

[rigid laurel]

This is surprisingly difficult, but possible. My suggestion for the first step would be to find a tutorial via Google or look at some of the official Chrome extension examples

[covert yew]

does someone know how can I get and save a photo that user as uploaded in flask?
without flaskForms if possible

[rigid laurel]

request.files?

If they're submitting a form it should just be a post request with the find file found there

[covert yew]

do I need to pass anything in it?

[rigid laurel]

It's a dictionary like object where the key will be the filename

I tell a lie

[covert yew]

I get this

[rigid laurel]

The key isn't the filename

It's whatever the form key is I think

https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.1.x/patterns/fileuploads/

The docs are here

[covert yew]

alright

thanks <3

[dense slate]

Are you using Django?

If you want to run it from your page without refreshing it, you should look into setting up a request via ajax. This sends a request to your server and then you can use the returned data/response.

If you don't care about it refreshing, you shouldn't need javascript.

Hello. I'm very new to web development and programming in general. I was wondering what is the typical workflow when using django or other python frameworks for building projects. For instance, I heard that its a good practice to work with django or other python projects in a virtual environment, but im confused how that would play out when using github. Say If I made a web app using django under a virtual environment, so i also have to upload the files of the venv to github? What's the norm when it comes to this things? (I am new, so try to help me understand please)

[serene prawn]

You don't have to upload your venv files to github, only your dependency list

I would try something like poetry which uses venv under the hood

[swift wren]

you can either match the black color through a screenshot and then color picker it and use the hex value

[ionic raft]

You've got a number of concepts jumbled up. And I get it...when I started I was very lost.
You can program with Python. Python has a lot of flexibility in the ways it can be used (use cases). When you program in Python you can create a virtual environment. This creates a safe space, or rather, an independent space where different tools you use (libraries) can be installed and offer you more potential and power. Python is such a well-used language that there are many, many tools (libraries) that many people have built that do many things.
Django is one such tool. It is a web development framework that, like Flask, allows you develop web applications. If you really want a web application that offers enterprise level administration and security, Django is a great place to start. If you want a simple website, Flask is recommended as a better starting point than Django in some ways, particularly because working out how web servers work is a whole layer of complexity when new.
GitHub is a tool that is a version control system. In other words, every time you update your program (in a github repository) git (the tool behind github) will track the changes, down to the individual characters. This is really helpful because software engineering is hard. When you build a web application in Django, for example, you'll be working with the presentation layer (how web pages appear), manipulating the application layer (with lots of logic, that will in effect allow you to build workflow) and building/using a database to work with data.

What is the norm? There are so many flavours of norm that there is no norm. I'd suggest thinking about a problem you'd like solve. Maybe it's a problem that can be broken down into a number of different problems. Then I'd learn how to program with Python.

[snow crater]

thanks

Yo guys hope y'all are doing good!

My Problem:
I am trying to store a SQL query in SQLite in a variable so I can use it to show it on a Flask Website

My Code:

def results():
    conn = sqlite3.connect("Database\database.sqlite")
    database = conn.execute('''SELECT * FROM twitch_data''')
    
    return render_template("result.html", content= database)

app.run()

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <body>
    <p1>
        {{content}}
    </p1>
    </body>
</html>

Can anyone tell me what is the appropriate way to store a SQLite query in a variable?

hey guys i have a question, I am creating a website using django and i want to create a desktop version for it in future so how would i make it interact with the database in my web application?

[inland oak]

Hello. I have a problem with Django rest framework.

ViewSet has get_queryset which aggregates one big queryset with a lot of data.
one of the fields named organized_id is present in the returned objects
But it is not recognized as field which I could use to order_by/ordering.
what could be the problem? Perhaps I could make somehow the field recognized

[gusty hedge]

make sure you are using the right selector - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Adjacent_sibling_combinator.

[dense slate]

Django has an ORM that communicates with the database. You should check out a few tutorials.

[dense slate]

What do you mean it's not recognized? There an error?

[inland oak]

I mean that i get error when trying to order_by this field in queryset

django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Cannot resolve keyword 'organizer_id' into field. Choices are: bla bla bla

so far I was able to make a trick of

[dense slate]

bla bla bla are the other fields?

[inland oak]

yeah

[dense slate]

Do you need to declare the field somewhere before using it?

like admin.py you declare the fields included

[inland oak]

annotate(
organizer_id=OuterRef('organizer_id'),
)

if I annotate by OuterRef
I can order_by this field then

but the query breaks later because OuterRef field has no declared is_summary thing

[inland oak]

def EventRefundsViewSet
ordering_fields = ('organizer_id', 'name')
ordering = ('organizer_id', 'name')

I need this field declared for Django Rest Framework ViewSet in order to have working ordering, for a paginated view

the main magic happens in this ViewSet in function
def get_queryset(self):

where the queryset is formed. There is the problem, as this field is incorrectly queried. Not fully formed into the query columns

[dense slate]

Ok, so whenever I run into that error with REST or GQL, it's because I didn't include it in the fields that have to be declared.

but it looks like ordering_fields is where you do that

[inland oak]

The problem appears because queryset is formed using custom made multidb_objects.prefertch_related thing

it is a bit of complicated

I am trying to find just a hack around it in order for the field being recognized

[dense slate]

This was on SO: "Did you enable cursor pagination in your settings?"

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    ...
    'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework.pagination.CursorPagination',
    ...
}```

[inland oak]

too bad organizer_id=F('organizer_id'), is not working, the field is not recognized error again)

[inland oak]

yes it is present.

another custom made thingy

[dense slate]

Well, if you're hacking it, then something must be setup incorrectly. If it's an ID field, I would think it should work without issue.

[inland oak]

This application is huge as fuck (5000 tests)

I wish to do in some way at least

[dense slate]

What if you remove 'name' from ordering?

Does it work with just the organization_id?

[inland oak]

nah. it works only if ordering by name, or if not ordering at all

[dense slate]

Can you order by the id before you get the set?

Where the original queryset is formed

[inland oak]

sure

[dense slate]

https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-yes-yay-hooray-gif-10579437

[inland oak]

I dont get it. It gives me nothing 😉

I think we can both agree I solved your problem 100%. 😄

It is already midnight here,I can agree with anything at this point 🤣

Looks like most of the classes are prefixed with w3-

I have a technology field in my django model asset_inventory_active

How do I separate all tech if they separated by commas, and get their count also

top_techs = asset_inventory_active.objects.values('technology').annotate(tech_count=Count('technology')).order_by('-tech_count')[:5]

Hi! I'm mainly a backend developer, but I want to build a web application. I have been using FastAPI earlier without a database connection, which was awesome. However, this web application is more complex and should include a database. Is Django probably a better choice since its opinionated (which I like)?
A big community is great but I would rather use new and improved technology, if it's well documented and on the rise.

Also, I've been thinking of using a modern frontend framework, like ReactJS or Svelte.

Hello im making a Post model using django and want the post to have as many images as the user wants to post, how to implement this ?

tried typing the option (many=True) like in the django rest framework but it look like django doesnt have one

[mental summit]

You can have a model that contains an image and a ForeignKey that points to a specific post

[scenic dove]

but that means only one image for a post right?

[mental summit]

No

You can create many image models with the ForeignKey pointing to a specific Post

[scenic dove]

i dont understand

hows this different from just leaving the image field inside the Post model

[mental summit]

so purely theoretically.. how bad is loading flask variable "content" in this instance with a lot of entries(maybe 80k max of just names) and using it in jquery autocomplete?..

@app.route("/test", methods=["POST", "GET"])
def test():
   if request.method == "GET":
      languages = ["C++", "Python", "PHP", "Java", "C", "Ruby",
                     "R", "C#", "Dart", "Fortran", "Pascal", "Javascript","joe","Joestar","Jotaro","john"]
          
      return render_template("testing.html",content=languages)
   elif request.method == "POST":
      user=request.form["em"]
      return render_template("testing.html",content=user)

    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
          var some=JSON.parse('{{content|tojson}}');
 
                 
            $('#hello').autocomplete({
                source : some,              
                select : showResult,
                focus : showResult,
                change :showResult
            })
                   
            function showResult(event, ui) {
                $('#cityName').text(ui.item.label)
            }
        });

i want to do autocomplete searches off of a database of names i have and that's why i ask

[dense cedar]

Did you tried py manage.py makemigrations?

[nimble berry]

just prompting for a password with out even displaying the username field can't be done with what is built-in to the browsers by default
using your own code you could just ignore what ever is filled in to the username field and a blank username should probably work as well in that case and just check the password
if you don't want to display the username field you have to roll your own and you could probably make something similar using javascript for the prompting of the password

that said, i would highly advice against any of those solutions for more reasons than i care to enumerate here
you can go and check what was written on the subject many years ago even if the question isn't 100% a match and it has been a while most of the reasons holds true still

Hi

Anyone can help with bootstrap

[stable bear]

how do you make a bootstrap nav bar, which has this feature?: when you click on a page, there should be an indication that you are on the services page.

[digital oracle]

Add a class or ID called active and give it the desired CSS elements and on each page, add the active class/ID

[stable bear]

is there a way to do this with a layout.html instead of having to include the nav bar in every page?

[thorny skiff]

help #help-pretzel

[outer apex]

Depends on what you're using to generate the HTML. If you're using something like Flask or Django, you can inherit templates and override blocks. So all the different pages can inherit a base template that is common to all pages (e.g. the nav bar), and individual pages can override relevant blocks - the body of the page for example

[nimble berry]

try asking your specific questions instead

[devout sparrow]

@nimble berry I'm trying to apply a bootstrap template to my table

If a flask/django web app is hosted on a vps service like linode/digital ocean, would a sqlite3 database still work?

[devout sparrow]

can u help

[nimble berry]

it depends on the service, but generally for vps the answer is yes, you need presistent storage that you can trust and if they offer backups of that storage it's even better

then you have providers like heroku that don't offer vps service, ther the answer is instead generally no as you don't have access to persistent storage, there you are recommending to use a external database like a PostgreSQL server or as a service that they can provide

[native tide]

she said that she just wants it as a project

she ain't planning to host it ig

[native tide]

well, heroku apps have postgresql add-ons tho

idk why i'm telling but ... lol nvm

i was talking about jessicaM

sorry

well in your case rndpkt already answered

but still telling

that if u host on heroku u will get postgresl-add on @stable bear

you'll just have to look on the web about how to host your django app & configure its db with your app

that's all

where else r u planning to host?

:")

i would personally recommend heroku if u want to go for free

since i'm not aware of any free vps...

so yeah

:")

[native tide]

it has its own limitations tho.

[nimble berry]

GCP has an always free tire, with their e2-micro you'll have free hours to last you a howl month if you only run one of them, or you can run a few hundred for much shorter time

there are limitations on amount of storage and network traffic and such as well that you need to manage to keep it free

[worn crystal]

It seems that Flask jsonify doesn't preserver the order of the input dict. Is there away to ensure that the dict in is in the same order as json string that it returns?

Otherwise I suppose I could simply use json.dumps to create a string and the set up a manual json response (ie: by setting response headers).

[worn crystal]

Can you elaborate on that?

[nimble berry]

what does your relevant code look like so far?

[mortal ledge]

After some investigation, it appears that this is not exclusively an issue with Flask but also an issue on the browser side, in that the browser appears to be sorting the keys of the json object. So I'm thinking my only choice will be to use json.dumps server side and send the response as text as opposed to json.

[mortal ledge]

I'm not sure what you would gather from the code.

return jsonify(my_dict)
```my_dict where the keys are in no specific order, but for which the order must be preserved.

[mortal ledge]

So I tried sending the response text/plain and that solves the problem. Here is the solution in code in case anyone is curious:

json_str = json.dumps(my_dict)
response = await make_response(   #await because I'm using Quart not Flask.
    json_str,
    { "Content-Type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8" }
)
return response

The response header on the client side is as above (as expected) and the browser displays the string as is without parsing the JSON into an object first.

[nimble berry]

yeah, that is an issue with json, order shouldn't be relevant according to the spec
but that doesn't mean you can't force your software to generate it ordered

[mortal ledge]

Yup, fortunately for my needs a string representation is fine

[nimble berry]

you should still be able to use jsonify() by setting this to False https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.0.x/config/#JSON_SORT_KEYS

[nimble berry]

but json.dumps() should do the job as well

[mortal ledge]

Yes, I saw that and it is true but there still is a problem with the browser, if you send it JSON it will parse it and sort it. I need the result to be same on the server as on the client side, every time, a string provides that.

[nimble berry]

yeah, but at least you can choose how to implement it server side
but is json the best fit for this if you need to preserve order?

[mortal ledge]

Json is standard used for this, so I don't really have a choice.

[nimble berry]

ah, okay

[native tide]

can someone run through my code and tidy everything up?

[fiery rampart]

Where is it?

[native tide]

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/eqozixeciw.rb

[fiery rampart]

I don't really find any issues. It looks pretty good. The only change I would make is instead of

If not x:
  return False
return True

You can do return x

[native tide]

in those cases, for example 'emails'

the if not is testing to see whether there have been any emails fetched or not

if i was to return emails it'd be giving me the emails fetched, when all I want is to check if it exists

[native tide]

is there anything i can do to make it look more presentable?

[fiery rampart]

By presentable do you mean easy to read?

[native tide]

i guess so yes

[fiery rampart]

I would say having your classes and routes in different files

Have each file's functionality clearly defined

[native tide]

thats a good idea, i'll work on that

the classes and subclasses, i've definitely not worked them right - are u able to run me through how i could better them?

[fiery rampart]

Why would you have User inherit from Database is there anything in the database that the user needs?

[native tide]

nope, i forgot to remove it

it's declared in __init__ of user now

self.database = Database()

[fiery rampart]

In this case instead of checking if the array has any values it's better to just do

email_exists = cursor.execute(f'SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = \'{email}\' AND confirmed = \'TRUE\'') is not None

return email_exists

[native tide]

just tested it, that throws True even if it doesn't exist

because the cursor returns something like [()] if it doesn't exist

which isn't None

[fiery rampart]

I'm guessing its because cursor.execute returns an object. You could add .first_or_none() to make sure it returns a workable values

[native tide]

to the cursor?

[fiery rampart]

What framework are you using?

[dense cedar]

Yes?

You have circular import between your models, use string identifier to import it

I believe it's app_name.ModelName

[manic crane]

string indentifier ?

[serene prawn]

Yep

models.ForeignKey('application.Model')

For example ^

ohh calm ill try that

is there a way to edit html before render_templating it, using flask?

[dusty haven]

Jinja may be a way

[grim helm]

yee, googling led me to directly calling jinja, but i dont wanna open the template file on each request
i wanna use the caching part (i hope render_template caches things)

[ornate flame]

Hey there please help #help-cheese sorry for messaging in between a conversation.

[inland oak]

caching thing is implemented at another level. Don't care too much about it

We host flask application as Gunicorn + Nginx.

Nginx as reverse proxy + it hosts your static files

Nginx at the same time can handle caching rules, for certain urls which you specify (or all of them)

+Cloudflare with its CDN is yet another more high leveled caching mechanism

[grim helm]

ohh, so i use html as static content 🤔

[inland oak]

+If you wish to have caching at the level of framework....

...you can cache inside of Flask with using Redis key-value in memory database

[grim helm]

rittt

[inland oak]

as you can see. There are many means to cache stuff 😉

[grim helm]

that helps tyy

yeah, was worried about too much I/O, never realized nginx

[inland oak]

i mean... you render html in flask as...

...compilated result of Jinja framework

with insertion of different CSS/JS files into it

CSS/JS files will be cached by Nginx / Cloudflare rules, client side caching can be applied to it

the rendering of the page itself?

you can cache it with Nginx or with Redis (or with Cloudflare too)

your ability to cache it, depends on what type of content it has

[grim helm]

totally goin nginx file system thingy

[inland oak]

If the page is purely static in content? you can cache it agressively at CDN / Client side way
if the content is changing only with query params? You can cache at nginx level (probably with CDN too)
If the content is fully dynamic? You can cache with Nginx requests to JSON endpoints, or you can cache dynamic data in Redis

many means to cache stuff

[inland oak]

Nginx can cache for you at server side side, intercepting requests before they reach framework and giving cached result in advance

or Nginx can cache for you by adding Client side caching rules headers to the files. Which will make stuff cached in the client browser

[grim helm]

yeah, im already using nginx for serving stuff, will just add another rule to expose another port interally that can serve my html files

[inland oak]

good.

Read the free Nginx cookbook from O'reilly

to know what you can do with Nginx

get a hang of Cloudflare service, for the most powerful CDN caching, it is easy

and optionally learn using Python Redis library, in order to use key-value db
