#django

just to learn a bit i will try to make this view like it should

have a bit time left anyway :d

Hello. Is anyone available to answer a simple Django question?

maxsong1002: don't ask to ask... just ask :)

Thank you FunkyBob. I'm trying to import a module that I created to include some business logic.

ok

Hi

The file is located at my_project/my_app/fetch/fetch_data.py

I included an empty __init__.py file in my_project/my_app/fetch/

In my_proejct/my_app/views.py , I am trying to import the module.

maxsong1002: what have you written for the import line, and what error do you get?

`import fetch` works fine. No errors.

However, when I do fetch.fetch_data.some_method() I get 'module' object has no attribute 'fetch_data' error

but that won't give you anything that's in fetch_data

I have the following problem with django 1.5.4 SyntaxError 'return' outside function

because it only imports what's in __init__

Oh, I see.

RootWeiller: use dpaste to share the code

maxsong1002: from myapp.fetch import fetch_data

Ok FunkyBob, copy code

RootWeiller: my guess is it's an indenting issue

Funky how can i avoid those 3 try/excepts ontop of my code, probaly not right

... works like a charm

Thank you so much.

NBhosting: as I said, the Form would take care of that

This code generates the error me http://dpaste.com/1486739/

also to get it in the template?

NBhosting: pardon?

those are mainly pushed trough my context to my template

Hello all

RootWeiller: oh, wow... like NBhosting, you really NEED to learn to use ModelForms

p

RootWeiller: what line does the error point at?

FunkyBob, it's 'return' outside function

NBhosting: please don't use naked excepts, it will bite you in the ass later.

always tell it what type of exception you're trying to catch

in line 46

can it be done without a try at all

RootWeiller: and since line 46 of your paste isn't a return... which line of it is line 46?

omglolnub: hello

i wonder if it's a tab/space issue?

Thanks for getting me started

SmileyChris: was considering that

NBhosting: what do you have a try for?

NBhosting: https://dpaste.de/bLoP

to test if something fails and avoid code breaking?

So I started doing the tutorials here

twoolie: we're trying to get NBhosting to stop being silly, and use a ModelForm

FunkyBob, The idea is that once saved the profile to return to work /

FunkyBob: that too

haha :D

RootWeiller: you have a syntax error, not a logic error

omglolnub: after you did the official django tutorials, yes?

i still dont see how a model form is giving me data in the template side do

RootWeiller: somewhere in your code, there is a "return" at the wrong level of indentation

RootWeiller: my first advice is to stop using tabs

No I followed a link from another user yesterday the same time we talked

i get that it makes forms, and u can validate with it, but am i missing something there

omglolnub: also, that doc refers to "Djangos MVC"... so it's clearly broken

but I can go back

okay will do

FunkyBob: except that it looks like he has 2 submit buttons, and processes the data differently depending on which one is pressed

twoolie: he should still use a form

two forms!

SmileyChris: so... django-social-auth, or django-allauth ?

allauth

FunkyBob: and that he's saving data into 3 different models

twoolie: when validating user input, USE A FORM... ALWAYS

twoolie: then use 3 forms

SmileyChris: :)

How many lines can you post in IRC before you upset people....I like this group I don't like upsetting others

omglolnub: 1 line

SmileyChris, I have reviewed the levels of indentation, I do not understand where this error could be

SmileyChris: might be ripping out social auth and and openid...

Hey FunkyBob, I have a couple more questions..

omglolnub: for more, use dpaste.org

RootWeiller: i'm leaning towards you having mixed tabs/spaces

RootWeiller: did you tell us which line is line 46 of your file?

maxsong1002: shoot

FunkyBob: Can I send you a private I won't take to much of your time

no, waste all of our time

FunkyBob, yes

RootWeiller: which line of your paste is line 46 of the source file?

views.py is located in project/app already, so why is it necessary to do `import app.fetch` instead of just `import fetch`?

off topic: bf4 for $25, nice.

it the line return HttpResponseRedirect('/')

maxsong1002: because you should use either explicit relative import ("import .fetch") or absolute imports

also to open a csv file inside static folder, I had to do `open('app/static/app/some_file.csv')`

SmileyChris: $25? not with the Fuck You Australia tax.

maxsong1002: that open() won't work in production, I'll wager

twoolie: amazon, any us address

That begs another question that how I should make it work ;)

does it work for the digital edition?

yep

:D

(you're very helpful)

maxsong1002: well, if that file isn't meant to be served to users directly, it shouldn't be in static/

maxsong1002: you can get the path to the current module using os.path.dirname(__file__)

changing some stuff

then you can use os.path.join() to find things relative to it

FunkyBob: The idea is I want to edit the csv file every 24hrs (using cronjobs) and draw a graph in javascript based on the csv file

maxsong1002: then it _really_ doesn't belong in static

FunkyBob: where should it belong to?

mattmcc: hey... friend just linked me to this -- http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/28/why_pla...

maxsong1002: is it to be served to users?

FunkyBob: and why cant it live in static/ ?

maxsong1002: because, as you just said, it's NOT static

maxsong1002: and also, static files get compiled to a different location

I see

and static dirs in apps, etc, and the source for the collected static files that get published... published elsewhere

define in your settings a workspace dir for stuff like that to live

or just define the file itself

again... is that CSV file supposed to be served to users?

MY_CSV = '/somewhere/something.csv'

FunkyBob: yes the user might want to download the csv file

FunkyBob: but as soon as the enter the website, they will be presented with a graph that's based on the csv file, which is updated everyday

FunkyBob: it is not that necessary to make the file downloadable though.

omglolnub: sounds like you're having virtualenv issues

cleaned it up a bit https://dpaste.de/BbRp now i got todo alot of forms

3 forms

NBhosting: you could still get errors raised from that view

NBhosting: reqouest.POST.get('klant') will return None if it's not found

NBhosting: and that'll cause a Winkelwagen.DoesNotExist exception

NBhosting: please don't use TitleCase for functions, by the way

diesnt trow a error here
