how ?

apollo13: thanks, I will give it a try and test it towards both 1.6 and 1.7 to assure I don't break something...

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=…

saransh__: read the docs on how to configure settings in django

apollo13: actually I used it

apollo13: after importing django settings

saransh__: please see the topic

apollo13: I am using middleware in scrapy, it can 't access it

aha

apollo13: so how to fix it ?

again, please see the topic

apollo13: once I import django settings, on running crawler it is giving an error "Cannot import scrapy settings module he_crawler.settings

warnings.warn("Cannot import scrapy settings module %s" % scrapy_module)"

aha

do i need to give scrapy settings in django settings file ?

django doesn't know or care about scrapy

If scrapy needs settings you have to figure that out by reading the scrapy docs

in fact, django and scrapy should really not be tied together

dunno, never used it

is it possible to filter by relations count in m2m field?

actually I need it

or as a matter of fact m2m or reverse FK

well, it's 2 tools doing entirely different things

dAnjou: well I'd imagine someone would want to put the scrapped stuff into a database or so… don't see why using the django orm there wouldn't work

granted I'd only use it if the website uses django too ;)

apollo13: what my application does is, through scrapy it requests the url and the middleware of that url is called once it's middleware is called, I count the no. of queries running for that url

apollo13: then why don't they rip out the ORM already :P

through django.db's connection method

is there any other approach I can follow ?

dAnjou: well for the start; history... packaging in python is far from easy ;)

saransh__: dafuq? what's the purpose for that?

saransh__: if you're not that far yet, switch to sqlalchemy and another web framework ;)

dAnjou: I fail to see how that solves any problem, but sure… oO

apollo13: maybe i'm just day dreaming and suggesting things that would actually solve my problems :D

haha

I give u

up

spaghetti code it is

hypnosb: put some meatballs in

dAnjou: can you give me a brief idea of SQLAlchemy ?

lol

saransh__: it's an ORM

just in case, found solution with aggregations ( .annotate().filter()

dAnjou: I never used it and how can I do this thing by it ?

apollo13: I guess it was magical accident I was inserting new fields. The proper method is cleaner :)

saransh__: sorry, forget that i ever said something ;)

dAnjou: oh cmon, now you gotta help or wasn't it such a good idea after all :þ

dAnjou: I don't get it ?

saransh__: i didn't fully understand what you were talking about and saw a problem that probably wasn't there. so I suggested something rather drastic instead of figuring out what your real issue is.

seriously: lol

and apollo13 called me out on it

haha!

shall I explain it again?

saransh__: btw, please don't tell me you are trying to use scrapy to test how many queries your site executes

saransh__: not to me, i'm braindead. had quite a day.

apollo13: worked on both 1.6 and 1.7, thanks for the great tip. Is there any version >=1.4 that it will fail for?

pjotr: should work from 0.96 onwards

apollo13: thanks

btw. let me share another piece of quality code that i found in our django project today: https://dpaste.de/WOEC

(slightly modified for readability)

dAnjou: I hope you are not blaming the Django ORM for that too ;)

nope

thanks to git blame i know exactly who to .. blame

but that's indeed some nice piece of code which could only be nicer if it was written in one line :þ

was (s)he a java programmer first?

exactly my thoughts!

i don't know for sure

there are other hints in the codebase which suggest that

he left the company long ago

wonder why

the code looks pretty save to me, not much margin for errors there

apollo13: but would you consider the pythonic one liner for this less readable?

dAnjou: no, on the contrarary

something = request.GET.get() == 'bla' is as clean as it will get, I was mostly beeing joking

k :)

you should know me better than that

i do actually, that's why i was confused

"some nice piece of code which could only be nicer"

the first nice here is clearly ironic

so i thought the second one is too

I used ":þ" at the end ;)

whoever wrote this app, has if environment ='' all over the fucking place

anyway, i cringe quite hard on some days :/

just remember that it could be worse, eg like hypnosb appears to be having

anyone ever ran django on google appengine?

theseb: yes

._.

Maior: i'm used to running appengine stuff with "dev_appserver.py APP-NAME" but django has its own way to do things.... ./manage.py runserver

Maior: the dev_appserver.py way doesn't work w/ django right?

theseb: have you read https://developers.google.com/appengine/article... ?

hi all, django newbie here.. I'm about to create hello world kind of application to try out angular. What is the best option to serve json requests from django? I've googled out TastyPie and Django REST framework, any other suggestions?

anyone have a good geodjango database for city boundaries? natural earth is good for countries and states/whatever foreigners call em.

Nopik: JSONResponse?

Maior: that’s way too simple

Moar packagez!

Maior: if that is an question, I'm afraid I wont have and answer ;)

*an

Nopik: heh no, more of a "this may do what you want"

Maior: ;) yes, probably it might be

(I know little about Angular)

I’ll also never understand why people want to learn django, angular, rest APIs and five other things all at once. Make your hello world app as simple as possible. You can always add complexity.
