Basti_BRG: there's still one Release Blocker

beyond that, shrug

thank's heaps!

The final release is on schedule for Monday, August 1.

though they're running out of time :)

Laba: ahahaha :)

shangxiao: then I also could not go home :/

dodobas: oh no you go home and tell them you're recording them so they can't run amok

or tell them since they only did 1/2 of what you asked, you only pay them 1/2 the money :)

oh there's even a PR for that remaining release blocker

just looked at the PR ;) It seems there was a fugly solution at first ;)

shangxiao: and then thay sue me for harassment :)

sue them for dereliction of duty or something ;)

shangxiao: there is still hope, maybe someday ... they embrace the responosibility, maybe ... :)

Hello. I just created app "main" in my project. It has a simple "hellow world" type view, and nothing else in it. Django complains "django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'main.apps.AppConfig' must supply a name attribute."

mike_papa: did you create the app using `./manage.py startapp` ?

I've never touched apps.py file, and it has MainConfig class in it with name attribute set to "main"

shangxiao: Yes.

Django 1.9.6

mike_papa: can you dpaste.de the code + full traceback?

shangxiao: Sure. Give me sec please.

Hello!

shangxiao: Here is code: https://dpaste.de/Zv6E (I have touched only views.py - no other files were ever edited)

shangxiao: Here is full traceback: https://dpaste.de/tyuL

Could name "main" be in conflict with anything?

and intalled apps in settings looks like this: https://dpaste.de/3WcP

Couldn't get more simple

I'm trying to set up nginx to serve a Django project. I found this conf file : http://bit.ly/2aFqV1Q But I don't get how the wsgi.py file is used in it.

anyone here using huey as taskrunner?

Oh... sorry. I did edit urls. But it doesn't look like urls problem.

(When using it I get a 400 : bad request)

I have the impression huey completely halts when a crontab tasks raises an exception

vmonteco: You need something to serve django. Like uwsgi or gunicorn.

but I can't really reproduce this in a minimal non-django setup because huey won't even run any tasks there (but does pick them up)

vmonteco: That example actually seem to use uwsgi, so you need to configure uwsgi to serve django

mike_papa: main.apps.AppConfig should be main.apps.MainConfig

jtiai: I installed uwsgi and copied the uwsgi_params file into my project, but is the wsgi.py file used from uwsgi or from nginx? AFAIR, with apache, I gave a reference to my wsgi.py file in my apache conf files.

vmonteco: uwsgi. nginx just proxies requests to uwsgi.

jarshwah: Thanks. Code completition makes me so lazy sometimes, and I overlook those small things.

Works good now.

it happens :) no problem

jtiai: Ok, so if I understand well, I must configure uwsgi to pass those requests to the wsgi.py file?

I've been meaning to write a blog post (and setup a blog to do so..) explaining an "easy" way of deploying django on uwsgi + nginx

vmonteco: gimme one minute, I'll give you a gist

Funky Bob already has a easy django + uwsgi + nginx deployment blog post ;P

he does?

do you know his site?

jarshwah: http://musings.tinbrain.net/django-deploy/

ta

shangxiao: I'll check this! Thank you. :)

nw :)

well thank Funky Bob by signing up for DO with his referral code

(DO?))

Digital Ocean

vmonteco: That page you linked contains complete example.

I also like pythonanywhere for deployment

that's how it should actually be, IMHO

jtiai: I don't understand everything in it :S

tl;dr https://gist.github.com/jarshwah/52c721f4883d73...

jarshwah: Thank you! I'll check this out too. :)

hi, i have a requirement where i need to call os level commands like file copy, move, rename etc from a web application., are there any frameworks on the web that i can leverage ?

automation?

look at ansilbe/salt

hi totally django noob, I was wondering if there is some way to treat templates as a scaffold where you can build more powerful apps? is that even within the Django philosophy?

t0n1c: no, django achieves everything with composition. No code generation

shangxiao FunkyBob good guide up until I got to "We'll be running uWSGI in emperor mode."

fleetfox: interesting, what do you mean by composition? some article where I can check that?

my "protip" is to install uwsgi into the virtualenv, then use the init system to launch it

emperor mode sucks for automation if you're running multiple sites under different pythons

t0n1c: you have inheritance and overloading for templates, why do you want to scaffold anything

interesting

however, I run redhat not debian.. so maybe you can selectively bring in both python2 and python3 plugins into the same uwsgi emperor

ok cool got it

if that's the case (using apt) then emperor would be fine

thanks

t0n1c: do you come from rails?

fleetfox: hehe kind of, first time I learned MVC pattern was using rails

hello, is this doc still valid: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/db... ? I keep getting "'NoneType' object is not callable" exception

iceboxx: if the standard library isn't powerful enough, maybe fabric or invoke?

gianluca_r: show what you're overriding

t0n1c: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/cl...

jarshwah: with a paste?

dpaste

fleetfox: ty :)

edigiacomo: my situation is such that i need to run os level commands on the client side

iceboxx: On a client?

jtiai: yep, i was thinking of a portable http server running on the client machine., listening on a port which the web-app can talk to

iceboxx: So, what that has to do with Django?

jarshwah: https://dpaste.de/02tA

and the traceback error please

sorry should have asked for that first

np, just a sec

jarshwah: https://dpaste.de/1EuZ the TB

jtiai: i am planning to implement it in django

Is it possible to raise a HTTP 400, similar to a form validation error, from a model clean()? We have a constraint that we wish to enforce on the model level, but any errors raised in model clean() will lead to Django raising HTTP 500 in response. The constraint needs to be on model level.

not unless you implement it yourself, or find a package whose middleware handles that, AFAIK

iceboxx: Surely you can do that.

maybe fabric

gianluca_r: only obvious thing I can see is you're missing *args, **kwargs from the save() defintion and call site

jtiai: i was hoping there is a name for what i am trying to do.. :) other dev's who have attempted to build a bridge across

VaticanCameos: you are supposed to raise ValidationError

VaticanCameos: see example https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/model...

iceboxx: Well your problem is how to launch something that can receive events from remote site on "client" machine.

iceboxx: Once you resolve that problem, rest is really easy to do.

jtiai: exactly!!

the_rat: So if my custom exception is a subclass of ValidationError, that should do?

jarshwah: it doesn't change, i have overridden that method before without specifiyng "*args, **kwargs"; if they're not in the `def save(...` method definition are not needed to be passed, so that's not the point imHo

VaticanCameos: never had to do that, but I would guess so...
