I think so :)

thanks Koterpillar

great then

Is there a Python module for recursively finding and plucking values from deeply nested dicts or json clusters ?

Like if I want to find ( spider it ) and extract a value with some key name 'my_key' thats deeply nested somewhere in a dict

microdex2: like this? http://nvie.com/posts/modifying-deeply-nested-s...

microdex2: If you don't know how deep, then you'll probably need to write a recursive (or iterative) function that will extract it.

Yeah just like that

So there is no standard library to do that? I have to write custom ?

microdex2: There's a third party thing called JSONpath, but generally you just want to do the search yourself

ok

thanx

doismellburning ▸ any chancce you're around?

hello all

I have a question regarding urls.py, maybe someone from you know how I can solve this

In my database, I have agents (or people), each with different properties... so if I want to see all the properties from agent1 I have a simple pattern in urls, just as in the tutorial

and I would see it at... website.com/app/1 (as it is the agent's id)

I apologize, my connection got throttled

so... if I want to see the specifics of any property, I would check it as... website.com/app/1/1 (where the first # is the agent's id, and the second # is the property's id)

this smells suspiciously like an EAV pattern

what's an EAV?

(googling it...)

my problem is that if I have only the first case.. django is checking with the second pattern and it fails

I mean.. I do website.com/app/1 and I get a NoReverseMatch

dpaste your patterns

and log states it tried the pattern for website.com/app/1/1 and it couldn't find it

and the traceback

this is urls.py: https://dpaste.de/aMjr

you know you cna use \d+ right?

mhh no.. what's that?

\d == [0-9]

anyway

traceback

you can see it in the website: http://158.69.197.94:8000/core/1/

'{u'agent_id': '', u'property_id': 1L}'

there's your problem

agent_id == ''

that doesn't match digits

change it to agent_id=agent.id

<li><a href="{% url 'core:owners' agent_id=agent_id property_id=property.id %}">{{ property.name_text }}</a></li>

make sense?

so within this scope, what's valid is the agent itself... and using .id would show/propagate its id... agent_id is a local variable I'm giving as argument to the linked url=

?

and I was using an empty variable instead of the value from database?

agent_id= is something you're passing to the url tag... but the agent_id you specified... doesn't exist

right

oh ok, thank you! I'll try this one

I appreciate it a lot

btw, is it bad for it to be an EAV?

EAV is almost always a mistake

well... I don't know if it falls into an EAV model, but each 'property' would have a next level of data, and each of these, would have the final data for a 'user'

FunkyBob: EAV came up jus the other day
