#django

we are having an increasing frequency of unpredictable django errors. The traceback is mostly of these 2 types: https://dpaste.de/vC8h and https://dpaste.de/XBWb

...well that doesn't look fun

bcSquared, exactly. I find that with django, all that is stopping me is the creativity. So, choose well young padwan xD

michelem: you have something very odd going on

thanks, I got that much :)

michelem: I mean, seriously weird

I feel old when I am browsing Amazon looking for a book to learn Django than bookmarking youtube videos and blogs. I like how most books go in a sequential order and tend to build to something in steps.

bcSquared: so, seriously, the official docs are fab

That and my nerd cred goes up with every nerd book on my bookshelf. Laff.

michelem: you should ask in #python

bcSquared: but apparently the 2scoops book is very good

bcSquared: (I much prefer books to videos)

doismellburning, I'm reading through the official tutorial now. I'll be working through those since I've finished the Codeacademy Python modules.

bcSquared: (I much prefer learning-by-doing to books ;))

ymmv

doismellburning, same. That's why my project and ideas are way out of reach right now. I'd feel remissed if I didn't shoot for the stars.

I wonder if that can be related with memory corruption, but it's server-grade HW with ECC ram

michelem: fs corruption?

michelem: (eliminate the whole machine from the equation?)

Agreed, doismellburning. Reading will only let you know of stuff, and when you have finished the book and decide to embark on some project your a all ??? I don't remember anything. S

this is one of the things I like about PaaS deployments to ephemeral machines

michelem: +1 on corrupted filesystem subtly ruining the python modules

bcSquared, since you are your own boss, try out the example tutorial and give it a go. Get a feel for it. If you want to be real objective, give php a try too.

bcSquared: I can't recommend Heroku / Elastic Beanstalk enough

bcSquared: You may also look at Docker containers for local development, then easy cloud deployment.

which EB supports

^^

wouldn't the OS load the .pyc upfront and then operate in RAM?

it's ZFS btw

I've dabbled with PHP already. had an (ugly) start to it. I may bring it back out of storage and see if I can work on it a bit more.

michelem: then FS corruption seems less likely than average

michelem: but yeah, remove the machine from the equation

bcSquared, sounds good you had a taste for PHP. Give it an afternoon to follow the tutorial, or just reading it. You will see it is quite interesting.

if myobj has a foo_set, and each Foo has a bar_set, how can I get all Bars of all the Foos in foo_set?

doismellburning: just read another one of your blog posts - hosting static files on s3 - seems like that’s what the app i inherited is doing, but let’s say i want to add some new js files, where do i put them to then push them up to s3, just create a static folder in my project directory?

SteenJobs: anywhere that's a static file source, e.g. $app/static

doismellburning: ok cool. so i can just create an $app/static folder, add the jquery plugin, and then run collectstatic?

SteenJobs: pretty much, yep

doismellburning: awesome :) - also, is there a django way to src a JS file for all templates, or do i have to individually call it in each of the templates?

SteenJobs: you're looking for template inheritance

SteenJobs: see `extends` / `block`

doismellburning: thanks. that’s just what i needed, resources. my issue is i don’t know the terms to be looking up - sweet.

in settings.py module I see a TIME_ZONE variable

my time zone is GMT +^

GMT +6

Now I want to change default UTC to GMT +6

should I write "GMT" or "GMT +6"?

Rafibd01717: I suspect your timezone is UTC+6

Rafibd01717: because iirc GMT is only defined for half the year

no I am talking about django settings.py

I asked this question in today afternoon but didnt get any answer from anyone. Is django iirc is down? :)

hmm

Rafibd01717: ...I'm afraid I don't understand your question

Is there a way to set models.OneToOneField(ParentModel, primary_key=True, parent_link=True)?

when I set up my computer O/S i set my time zone at GMT +6

doismellburning: Now I am trying to set my time zone in a django project. I am new in Django. So I am learning from documentation

now I see in documentation django tutorial part 1 it says I should change the variable value "UTC" to my local value if I want to see my local time on my website

For this from settings.py module I wanna change TIME_ZONE variables value from default "UTC" to "GMT"

doismellburning: My question is should I use only "GMT" or "GMT+6"?

Rafibd01717: I think you're expressing a very confused understanding of timezones

Rafibd01717: but assuming it's a legal value, I think you're looking for GMT+6

but I don't believe it's a legal value

then?

(try it and see)

:S

Help. I'm trying to inherit a table and my child table is linked to the parent table through a shared primary key
