Hello, Can anyone recommend a workflow engine for Django.. I am using 2.7.x.. I am looking for basic WF management.. states are draft, pending, inprogress, completed, etc.. Thanks!

VinceZa, I know https://django-xworkflows.readthedocs.org , but the doc is laconic...

I'm getting a 404 error when Django redirects me to login.

Because it redirects me to accounts/login

I'm using django's default auth system.

However my login url is simply /login.

How do I change that setting?

hey StephenTuring.. just learning python so take this with a grain of salt, but check your LOGIN_URL setting in settings.py.. for example LOGIN_URL = '/login/'

VinceZa, sorry didn't do the trick.

what about your url pattern? url(r'^login/', 'main.views.auth_login', name='login'),

url('', include('django.contrib.auth.urls', namespace='auth'))

"main" is where I have all my application specific logic..

StephenTuring: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/setti...

Interesting, why does django have a login url configured regardless of the urls.py?

StephenTuring: how else would it do that?

Via a module.

and more concretely?

in the projects url's file.

and more concretely?

"with code"

LOGIN_URL = reverse_lazy("login")

hi... I am trying to deploy my django app onto google app engine, and I found something called "django-deployer" but I cannot get it to work with my project... what is the proper way to deploy a django app on GAE?

jimcky: with pain and suffering

jimcky: (I'm semi serious; I'd massively recommend against GAE unless you have very very compelling reasons)

doismellburning: haha... actually I have an always on laptop that I used to deploy a php project

not sure if I can host 2 apps on Apache though

jimcky: that's nice

(you can, but ew)

jimcky: Heroku free tier, whatever that opencloudstackfoundry thing was, heck even a cheap DO box

I'd recommend all of those over GAE

I don't really know how to deploy wsgi apps, I couldn't get it setup with web.py, and I am a bit afraid I would mess up the php app I am already hosting.. you know, to host php apps you just put it under the right directory and it's done XD

Heroku, I think I've heard about it

seems really easy to setup...?

jimcky: yep

jimcky: and the free tier will go a long way

I am a bit embarrassed, it's just a simple diary app I wrote for my girlfriend, so I think it would be fine XD

jimcky: sounds more than adequately covered by the free tier

let me try to deploy there... it advertise something like... using git to deploy?

nod

(for a very loose value of deploy)

doismellburning: I see, let's hope it support relational database, the NoSQL stuff of GAE is a bit complicated to me :P

jimcky: it does

Does anyone find that after about an hour the django's test server just kind of packs up?

StephenTuring: not ime; i've had testservers run for days

Maybe the virtual environment's to blame.

doismellburning: no wonder so many demo site of github projects are deployed on this platform, I used to think it was a PaaS service from Github :P

jimcky: I'm a massive Heroku fan, and I'd like to think it's not without good reason

as long as you have a reasonably up-to-date mac osx you are fine (if you use osx)

doismellburning: 5 minutes in, I started to love it. Not that I have deployed the demo app, but at least the instructions are very clear.

jimcky: http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/deploy/README.html

GAE's instructions are complete messes, they just throw you the SDK and expect you to know what to do

MarkusH: ohh, thanks, I will try it again after I am done with Heroku :D

jimcky: that is heroku

Why doesn't the locale middleware set the language in the session?

err, a heroku explanation

MarkusH: ahh, I see... btw, "djangogirls", I've heard about 'rail girls', and now there is django girls :P

jimcky: since EuroPython 2014. And it expanded like crazy

jimcky: https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2014/oct/1...

MarkusH: really cool, I hope my city has something like this, programming isn't really a thing in Hong Kong :(

jimcky: start something! ;)

MarkusH: I think I should try to be a guru on any of the tools I used first :P, I don't really understand how super() works in Python, so I was too afraid to override the save() method in my models, but it's really tempting - to have something done and filled in as soon as an object is created

jimcky: oh yeah they have a demo app, forgot about that now

jimcky: (my first use of Heroku predated that)

doismellburning: early adopter :D, so you have tried to deploy on GAE? It is still the 'standard way' to deploy personal projects here in Hong Kong, or so they say in local media

jimcky: I've used GAE before; I generally regretted it

jimcky: I occasionally look at it to make sure it's not drastically changed and I'm missing something

free GAE also only supports the proprietary database, right? which means vendor lockin

erik`: yep

another thing I <3 about Heroku is there's so very little lockin

doismellburning: I am so glad you stopped me from trying harder on that

I also use Heroku as a staging environment for apps I deploy to other places

because nearly no changes are required

("does your app deploy cleanly/easily to Heroku" is a _beautiful_ metric)

(because if it doesn't, it's probably doing some tedious things)

right, partyzeit

toodles, g'luck
