JUST GOT MY LAST EXAM RESULTS! FINALLY COMPLETED MY SOFTWARE ENGINEERING DEGREE!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The struggle was real.

Spent hours finding the problem in code. Suddenly something happens! Code works! Now I'm spending hours finding what made it work.

Where do I even begin?
You all know the story. I was handed this lovely out of date Django site and told to set up a development environment. This, with ZERO python or Django experience.
It has one document. Which was wrong. There was no indication of what versions of anything was correct. There was a network of 8 sites strapped together. There were three revisions of every single template stuffed into one massive folder.
Oh and did I mention, the database, static files (including media) and Django site were all on the same server with debug still active and using the development settings file.
I think I died during the process somewhere.

Weekend weekend weekend. Yay!
After hard week at uni, took a day off and I am in bed since morning 😁
So I decided to find some kind of "dev social app" and got this. Not bad at all!
I am also fairly new at web development, using Python - at the moment Flask, later on Django so I am looking forward to meet some Flask/Django users here :)
And I just wanna add some wisdom here:)

Was working on a Django thing (server-side, so no dynamicness as far as I'm aware?) under a contractor at my company.
Needed a popup to display results of a subprocess, so I asked "We're going to need to AJAX it, right?" and give brief justification. Guy says no - pretty much "Django 10/10 supports this, let me Google". Proceeds to send me a link to a python package that enables using popups as a way of inputting values for form fields. I see as much on the couple of images for the package demo/introduction, so I'm kind of just like "It doesn't look like it's what we need though..." But the guy says to trust him, and implement it.
A day later, after scrutinizing the demo code, and trying to figure out how to implement the package, I go back to him and say "I really really really don't think this is going to work" and give the same justification from the day before. He opens the demo code himself and follows the long trail of confusing methods and stuff.
After an hour of my sitting there watching him read the code and disappearing for 10 minute periods a few times, he comes to the conclusion "Okay you need to understand the code to implement it. But go ahead and use AJAX"
This is abridged and a few other super annoying things have been cut out, but I TRUSTED HIM.
I. TRUSTED. HIM.3 -

Thanks Django for this very elaborate error message. It's not like I spent the last 3 hours trying to debug it or anything.

Some lunatic apparently created a package and named it "django-restframework" (notice the hyphen?) and not the conventional, popular "djangorestframework" that we all know and love.
I made a mistake to install the former and after installing with pip and saving in my requirements.txt file it read "django-restframework==0.0.1"
I looked at the version number and initially thought "hmm, well that's odd" but didn't pay much attention to it cos I was trying to get started really quickly.
Long story short, I just spent the past hour trying to understand why I was getting a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rest_framework' whenever I tried to execute my project.
🙂 thank you lunatic4 -
Im oficial! After one year of studying python / django I received an acceptance letter today. When I began, I didnt expected it would be so soon.

Having to deal with legacy code is fucking terrible. Worse yet when there is basically ZERO documentation and what little documentation there is, is wrong! Not just wrong, contradictory.
I have spent far too long trying to decipher what I need to make everything fucking work. Having to figure out if they used Gunicorn or UWSGI. Whether they used MySQL 5.6 or 5.7. Whether they wanted me bent over or crying on my knees.

-Writes a function that I'm going to schedule for django.
-works in development.
-adds it to production cron using django-crontab
-not working.
-spends 3 hours editing code, searching for similar problems and reading documentations but find nothing wrong and it's still not working.
-maybe it's django-crontab so I decide to just write a custom management command and call it through cron.
-still not working.
-calls function using what I'm telling cron to do.
-everything works.
-?????????
-adds logs to cron command (sorry for not making it earlier)
-mfw the code is not working because I imported 'patterns' in urls.py which has been deprecated since django 1.8

I'm working on this super fun project in which we can combine the newest technologies, and some not so new but fun to use, we are doing it with docker, ASP.Net core, Angular2, and suddenly the system maintenance guy from the client sends us an email like:
- Just wondering which content management system are you going to use currently we are using WordPress, Orange and Django which ease a lot adding new features and sections
So the PM and me are frustrated and scared that we are going to be forced to use something awful just to please this guy.5 -
Technically I'm still doing it.
Old django app serving 8 sites from an old 14.04 server in python 2.5 and django 1.4 needed to be upgraded and scalable.
So I've had to set up a new server, upgrade everything, transport across along with the database (also upgraded) and set up load balancing, an API for heavy functions and a CDN.
I'm still setting everything up for the newer sites but everything seems to be working. Keep getting stuck in performance bottlenecks and learning how to set up an API was interesting.
Also going to go through and sprinkle some async over some things to try to eek out more performance from every as much as I can.9 -

Adventures in not knowing python: Episode 4!
After having finally extracted all the files I needed, figuring out where the hell they go and how they connect together I tried to plug it all into an AWS ec2 and get going. WRONG!
Every package was at least 3 years out of date. Most couldn't be downloaded directly with pip or wget (because the paths to them weren't available or were the wrong version) so I've had to find, download and scored every package to the instance. This, mind you, with no experience of Django and basically none of Python.
I've finally gotten them all in and installed and set up and checked their version against the live site. I have until tomorrow morning to get it all set up.
Wish me luck gentlemen!2 -
So, my challenge for this year is to build a CMS, CRM and ERP system from scratch in my free time with Python and Django.
I need to get deep in with Python and I figured this is a good way to do it. I'm going to roll my own analytics and whatever else I possibly can. Hell, what I'd really like to do eventually is do away with Django and have it as a standalone product with zero dependencies. But one thing at a time.
Here's to a good future where I finally fucking commit to finishing a project!1 -

You know that moment, when you look for something on wikipedia, and after few hiperlinks you are reading about influence of penguins on Mars' day length or othen nonsense?
Just happened to me like 4th time when reading Django documentation. It is so well written and easy to understand, that I just click and click and want to go deeper, and then realise I have to read what I need, because I never ever got to it in the first place.
Gotta love the people who make such docs. I never could, and prbly will.1 -
A while ago, i decided to finally learn a bit about the web stack (especially django) and create my first web page. The image shows what it currently looks like.
I am actually very happy with the result. It will be my personal little Home automation software, with progressive apps etc. It runs on the pi plattform and can currently switch an IO to a Relais, which in turn switches on a light.
The applications of this are really endless, which is quite cool and leads me to do more stuff at my home with it. So dear devRant: Does anybody know of some nice hackable light bulbs/spots for my home that i can use? Or other cool hackable hardware that could be applied?

I was recently hired as a front end dev for a certain project. The owner of the project already had a backend guy who apparently was almost done. The guy was using a django to develop the website and just when we were about to integrate the front-end and backend he fucking bailed out! Saying he had another project. So I downloaded his code from github so that I could complete the backend myself but holy fucks it was so horrible... This guy didn't even know what he was doing... Just creating a million django apps which didn't do shit.. Oh and did I mention he used django 1.1... Such a shit head! But good for me... I'll be the one getting paid for the whole thing...2

Episode 3 of "I don't know Python"!
I've been tasked with making a development version of the site. At first we had no server access so I couldn't get the files for a week. I spent that time researching and practising starting a Django site. All of the documentation said the same things, pretty straight forward. When I eventually get to the files, the order isn't anything like the documentation, the file names are all wrong, there are 5 copies of every file spread around the server.
I am a total newbie at this but I feel like this has made it a million times harder. There is no .htaccess file anywhere, no requirements.txt, a MySQL and SQLite database backup. I don't even know where the sites root folder is.

In Django code, looking at a class for caching REST calls. The cache is using Redis via Django's cache layer. In order to store different sets of parameters, each endpoint gets a "master" cache, that lists the other Redis keys, so they can be deleted when evicting the cache. Something isn't right, though. The cache has steadily increased in size and slowed down since 2014 even though many events clear the whole thing!
... And then it hit me. Nothing empties the list of cache keys. Nothing. So it has been growing endlessly since 2014. And everytime it grows, cache eviction gets a little more expensive, network traffic increases a little more, and cache evictions get a little slower.
Fixing this bug took things that were taking routinely an entire minute to complete and made them take a couple seconds. -

Part of my job involves researching a shitload of documentation and tutorials in order to have an established and well tested point of refference for the rest of the team. As a Django guy, I have always been happy with the plethora of tutorials and what not made available for this amazing framework. Until recently I had absolutely no clue that MDN had their own Django tutorial and I must say....I am impressed! I seldom recommend something over the already great tutorial made available by the Django page itself, but this one by MDN really is worth considerind for people starting into the framework. One can even see the love that they have for the framework just by reading the tutorials.
Kudos to MDN for creating such a great resource!4 -

So, fellow Python devs more senior than I, could I take a moment of your time to ask a question?
How long roughly would it take to upgrade a Django site from Django 1.5.1 and python 2.7.3 to the latest versions? Assuming a fairly standard package library (Pillow, Treebeard, Django-CMS et al). And how much should be charged for it?
Because I've been given a month and a total of £2000 (along with other work in the mean time) to do it and I feel like it's a tad more involved than that.6 -

To all the Python devs on here, I have a question!
So I'm building a Chatbot, I've set up a basic NLP backend and I'm looking for the best method to have the actual "app" interact with the backend.
I'm thinking, have the actual bit as a Django app (because I'd like to integrate it into Django sites later on) and then run the actual NLP bit on a Flask app then just use it as an API.
Can you think if any obvious downsides to this besides the bit of network latency?9 -

Can't use Mock to stub this 3rd party API's connection class, so gotta revert to HTTPretty. Again. I don't like using libraries with 4-years-old issues and playing guessing games with response formats. Le sigh...
Can't tell what the % weights are of my ignorance vs actual broken lib that are contributing to the issue.
Error: BadStatusLine: '' (die in a 🔥) -
Spent three hours trying to use http mocking library to catch outgoing API calls only to discover cryptic exception "SSLError" has been around for 2.5 years and the "fix" is to monkey patch the library, but the fix, clearly written by a skilled dev, was never merged because of issues with another mock library. then there's a stream of people over the years popping in to the issue to say "this shit is still broken" ... I really need this library to work and my python-fu is not strong enough to overcome the task at hand.
Now I have to wade into using "mock" which is a land of sorcery all it's own. With a fuckall high learning curve that's been playing hacky sack with my brain...
I'll get this done somehow, right? -
Tip: if you are doing a semi complex or complex query in Django and you have doubts print the SQL statement and analyze it. i.e print(queryset.query)

Finally got Stripe charges to work, then changed it to make subscriptions work in the Django app I was working on for Capstones. At least in theory. Works locally, but hasn’t been merged into our Production branch yet, so there could be something missing.

Off late I've been having a lot of debate with my friend about using Flask over Django for prototyping some feature. I side with Flask, since the development time is much lesser than Django and doesn't need to follow a lot of rules.
Issue here is, I prefer flask and he prefers Django.
Need opinion on this sort of problem, where a prototype for a feature in a product has to be built. It maybe integrated into the end product, which is in Django, or may not be.5 -

The first dev project, like real dev project, I participated in was a school one and it was double.
The class was meant to make us learn about the software's life cycle, so the teacher wanted us to develop a simple, yet complicated, thing: a Web platform to help tutors send/refer students to the university services (psychologist, nutriologist, etc) and to keep track of them visits.
We all agreed on it being easy.
Boy were we so wrong.
I was appointed as dev leader as well as some others (I was the programming leader, the other ones were the DB guy and the security guy) and as such I was in charge of the technology used (well, now we all know that the client is the one in charge of that as well as the designer) and I chose Django because we had some experience with it. We used it for the two projects the teacher asked us to do (the second one was to find a little shop and develop something for it, obviously with the permission and all that), but in the second one I decided to use React on top of Djangl, which ended being a really good combination tho.
So, in the first project, the other ones (all the classroom) started to discuss and decided to use some other stuff like unnecessary carousel for images, unnecessary functions, they created mock ups for stuff that was never there to begin with, etc. It was really awful, we had meetings with the client (the teacher) with updates on the project, and in not a single one he was satisfied with the results. But still, we continued with the path the majority chose and it was the worst: deadlines were not met, team members just vanished until the end of the semester, one guy broke his leg (and was a dev leader) and never said a word not did anything about the project. At the end, we presented literal garbage, the UI was awful, its colors were so ugly because we had to use the university official colors, the functionality was not there, there literally was a calendar to make appointments for the services (when did the client ask for that? No one knows), but hey, you could add services and their data to it, was it what the client wanted? Of course not! What do you think we are? Devs?
Suffice to say that, although we passed with good grades, the project and the team was shit (and I'm counting me in)
The good part is that the second project was finished by me and it looked really good, yet it didn't matter, the first project was supposed to be used by the university, but that thing was unusable.
Then, in the subsequent vacations I tried to make pretty and functional/usable, yet I failed because I had a deadline for another thing I had to do, but hey, the login screen looked amazing! -
When I run tests, I like to enable the debug logging. All the SQL queries and template tracing just flies by. Freaks the others out.

I love Django. I really do. It's been fun to work with, and wrestle with, and beat my head over repeatedly. I really have enjoyed it. But why in the name of all that is even remotely holy must the URL documentation be so spotty? I finally did get my URL behavior to work, but now that I've created a view function for deleting objects in one of the models, the URL for the editing function breaks. All you do is click "edit" and it brings up this nice little form where you can edit the database entry by querying its ID number and then you can save that ModelForm and everything is fine. So the url scheme is http://foo.com/bar/edit/3/
Should work. Used to work. I swear it used to work, I pulled up an older commit and it works like a charm. Deleting works with that same url scheme.
http://foo.com/bar/delete/3/
deletes the object with id=3 no problem. The two URL schemes in urls.py match perfectly (except one says delete obviously).
But now something has gone and gotten ROYALLY derailed because every time I run that function, that CLEARLY PRESENT 3 is being passed as None. I thought, oh, maybe I rearranged the arguments and am passing in the wrong ID. Nope. Okay, so what if I mixed up the regex on the url? Nope. Matches. WHERE ARE YOU GETTING NONE FROM? I mean, I realize that's the default, but I'M PASSING AN ARGUMENT in.
{% url 'namespace:edit' id=object.id %}
breaks horribly whereas
{% url 'namespace:delete' id= object.id %} deletes the object just fine. Why, Django? We've been wrestling with this for hours. Give me a sign. Tell me what you want from me. I'll give it to you. I will. I promise. -
When I started developing my current Django project, I had decided to go full TDD, do it like a pro. But I stopped after some time, as I spent more time trying to make the website look right than trying to make the backend work, which always seems to work fine. Am I an idiot? I think I'm going to regret it...6

Stop shoving Django admin down everyones throat as a client facing solution every time we need any admin functionality.
It’s great at first but then you have to dick around customising it when you could build the same thing with any modern frontend framework and REST API easily.
Not to mention Django admin couples the models to the view it provides you (inlining particular models given their relationships) -
A little help on Django

I mean, let's say I have a variable named "school"
school = "school1"
A visitor from X location enters and changes this variable to "school2". A new visitor enters the page from Y location and reads the variable 'school'. What is going to show on visitor Y? "school1" or "school2".2 -

Should I learn JS or Python?
Python is the better choice for ai as far as I know and I'm interested in learning Django. On the other hand Node.js is great for backend and servers.4 -
I have to develop a simple Rest API in python. Any suggestions how to make it possible. I was thinking in traditional direction to setup Django. However, I think there must be a simple way to do this.

I'm finally making some fucking headway with my side project and it feels amazing.
I've been going through docs and tutorials and everything I can find so I can make it the best it can be and it's really starting to take shape. I'm trying not to copy what others have done and I'm trying to make things as efficient as possible so it can be carried forward in the future. A messy start always ends messy so if I can start clean then I can keep it that way.
Feels good man.1 -

This Capstone group blows. There’s five of us in total, and only two of us are actually doing work on this fucking Django application.
Seriously, how hard is it to use Git and GitHub? I assigned a single page to a group member.. and what does this fucker do? Sends me the .html file on Slack.
And all that page consisted of was TWO JUMBOTRONS. None of the functionality I asked for was there whatsoever.
These people are seniors in an engineering school. Fuckssake, get your shit together.
Good thing the grades are based on commit history.2 -

So I'm a fullstack Python Dev & I wanted to learn Django Rest Framework so I can ease into making PWA. I figured let me learn it as I build out an MVP for a web app I'm creating...WRONG! This shit is mega annoying! It's taken much much more time than i'd like just to set up User sign up and sign in using a form based on the serializers. I started this project Friday....I still have no forms 😭😭...If i just had used Regular Django Models/Forms, an Ajax call here and there i wouldve been done!! What makes it worse is I feel I'm legit the only person having these issues...sheesh4

Any Django devs willing to give a guy a hand with some query management?
Trying to see how far it's possible to go with optimisation and such. I'm building out a lightweight CMS and would like it to be able to handle a lot of pages with as minimal query time as possible. The ORM is fantastic but if there's a better way that people have found I'd love to hear it.

2) React (and related)

4) Django
Why Mean?
Because it'd easy for me to grasp and I can easily get projects for it.
Why React?
Always curious about React, because of the hype maybe. But really wanna learn. And some gap for React developers.
Why ML/DS?
Tbh, I suck at Mathematics and Statistics. Why ML / DS just because it sound fascinating.
Why Django?
Enough with JS JS JS, what else?

So I'm working on this project in Django, right, and I've used it a lot. I love it, personally, I enjoy using it, it's great. And when I run it locally, it all works like a dream. Nothing is wrong, all behavior is as expected, all of that. Then I deploy it and let me tell you it is a DIFFERENT story. The same source code, same versions of Python and Django and what have you, same urlconf, but the thing DOESN'T WORK. Like most of it is fine. But posting an update to a database object throws a 404 (!!!works on the development server!!!), resetting passwords just sends you back to the index page (you get the email and the 'we just sent you an email' page on the development server). I think something is out to get me. I'm being haunted.6

So I have a little bit of a dilemma. Not a huge one, but a little.
I'm on the lookout for. New job and have had a few recruiters talking and got through one companys tech test, phone interview and had the final interview yesterday. The recruiter called today and said they'd offered me the position with a great salary and good benefits but, he said they'd only offered that so I'd accept "today". Claiming they interviewed another guy this morning who was equally as good but they "felt I would be a better company fit".
I'd have to move city which I was debating but not this soon and I'd have to leave my current, decent, role in 4 weeks.
I feel like I'm being pushed a little hard and I'd like to think about it but the recruiter is saying the company and pressing for an answer today. Is it just him bullshitting? I feel like it's all him because the company were incredibly chilled and open. I don't want to miss an opportunity but I also don't want to accept too quickly without properly considering it.
What do you think guys? Any advice? Anyone experienced this before?5 -

So, I've been working on a few Django projects at my company & we've been handling it quite well up until now. For those who don't have an idea of Django, it uses templating format as it's frontend & the data is served using APIs or context'.
Now the problem is, we're been told to use React js at the fronted with the current working projects.I've even gone to the 5th page of google & still haven't found a useful blog/answer on how to use react with django (i know that django rest framework will serve the apis).
There's no clear documentation for this. Even if there is, it's only basics which isn't quite helpful in my case.
So anybody can please guide me through or even provide a syntactical way to get this done, I'd be really grateful.
Thank You,

Hi
maybe a stupid question :) I have two Django apps, I need one of them to use the functions of the other one without importing them. as if I am requesting them using API, is there a way I can get an instance of a function and use it, I don't want to do the following:
response = requests.get('HTTP://URL/example/', data)
data = response.json()
I want instead to do something like this
function = requests.get('HTTP://URL/example/')
and execute the function as follows
data = function()
