Oups sorry

I downloaded an open source project. I'd like to try running it, and it has a long list of requirements. Do i have to go one by one and install each requirement into my virtualenv, or is there a faster way of doing this?

Downloaded ?

Which project ?

django-sis https://github.com/burke-software/django-sis

Overall i want to make a gradebook web app. I thought I could look at this and see what they've done.

Aah ok, I thought you were just going to use it

(in this case a `pip install django-sis` would be enough)

suixo: er I doubt it - https://github.com/burke-software/django-sis/bl...

I'm finding this to be pretty overwhelming. I'm told that what I want to do is pretty simple for django. But after working through a few tutorials, I wanted to try and do something on my own like import a list of users. Bam! I see this: https://django-import-export.readthedocs.org/en...

dougshmish: it comes with a requirements.txt - `pip install -r requirements.txt`

They say `pip install django-simple-import`

strange

and it mostly makes no sense to me.

doismellburning: seems like a good idea. I'll try that.

how does django decide the order to make the db tables in? i am running across an issue with some custom sql for a model where the django_content_type table dont exist yet

winkey: at a guess, INSTALLED_APPS order, but your statement re custom sql makes it sound like you might have a bigger/different issue

doismellburning django.contrib.contenttypes is definatly before my app in INSTALLED_APPS

fair enough

Failed to install custom SQL for layers.layertreenode model: relation "django_content_type" does not exist

winkey: Welcome to #django || Please provide code and __full__ traceback in a pastebin || Pastebin at: http://dpaste.de/ -- do not use pastebin.com!

i dont think thats going to help

welp, g'luck

understanding why django.contrib.contenttypes dont make its tables before my apps do might

thats obviously the issue

Can you override a models create method? And create another object (foreign key) in that method?

drager: override Model.save()

MarkusH: That's what I did, but save is called on save (so edit as well)

and check for "self.pk is None" to see if the object has been saved (has a pk)

well, Model.objects.create() isn't guaranteed to be called

Ah yes, I can check for self.pk

you can do instance = Model() ; instance.save()

MarkusH: This is what I've done; https://dpaste.de/Gy5r

drager: ouch, highly inefficient

apart from insecure (use at least https for googleapi)

MarkusH: Yeah, http was bad. but hm, which is inefficient?

you're saving Position twice

MarkusH: Hm, I thought .create did not save

MarkusH: Thanks for the code

hi, is django using jinja2 for template rending?

saidi: no

saidi: oh, there might be support coming in 1.8, haven't looked - definitely not the case for current stable though

doismellburning, what i want to do is use some existing template i made for Django and use them with Flask

their syntax looks the same

saidi: yeah that's not going to just happen afaik

saidi: unless you find some standalone DjangoTemplateLanguage renderer

there are enough differences afaik

yes, but Jinja is inspired by Django’s templating syntax, so porting to Flask will be easy :)

thank you

i'm using DRF+angular. the browser is being mean with the cache. if I make a request using httpie, it goes fine. however, the browser seems to be using client-side cache . maybe i'm not setting properly cache headers?

Hi, where can i read about classes in django apps?

My views.py got really big and i would like to break it down into different parts

CharlesFinley: you're looking for modules

it's basically spliting that into smaller chunks, putting that in different files in a folder named "views"

and "from .. import .."
