#django

Mitä ihmettä? (Read: I think there are rather many language based Django channels, at least there is #django-fi and #django-de, so I would guess for #django-es as well)

Apache is giving me a 500 internal error. https://dpaste.de/Hwr3#L10,15,59 I went into the env and made sure they were installed. Googlefu has failed me, what do I do next?

bschool: Did you reload the code after you did that?

Nvm, though.

maybe you should install mysql-python

or mysqlclient

bschool: That looks like a problem with a recursive import.

mysqlclient is installed

Also.

ImportError: No module named 'MySQLdb'

True, but then it complains about populate() not being re-entrant.

I have a feeling they might be related.

that can happen if an exception leaves the registry in an inconsistent state

which seems to be the case here

True. I've seen this when I had recursive imports.

when i went into the env pip install mysql-python stated it was already installed

But, I guess, I don't know, it might be a mysql thing that explodes in the wrong place.

Why do you think it's a recursive import? Looks more like it can't find MySQLdb due to some misconfiguration

bschool: can you share your apache config?

sec

wait you want apache2.conf or sites-available?

bschool: the one that configures wsgi

so most likely sites-available

[redacted]

bschool: can you log the python path from wsgi.py? Also, can you try to import MySQLdb in a regular python shell in the virtual env?

foo: It doesn't really matter as far as I know. The reason most people say use only lowercase (or uppercase according to me) is to keep it consistent, so if you ever need to query the db directly you don't have a mix of cases to think about.

"log the python path from wsgi"

so from wsgi.py get to /bin inside the environment

[redacted]

../env/bin/

bschool: just log sys.path

wow, i feel like an idiot i have no idea what you mean by that either, let me go try to import the MySQLdb from a virtual env python shell

bschool: import sys; print(sys.path)

[redacted]

[redacted]

importError: No module named 'MySQLdb'

works on 2.7

not for 3.5

bschool: how did you run pip?

"pip"

within the environment

you didn't use sudo or anything, did you?

bschool: According to the MySQLdb package page (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/1.2.5) Python 3 isn't supported yet.

not within the environment

asadjb: there are drop-in replacements that work with python 3

bschool: good

bschool: what does `which pip` and `which python` give you in your virtualenv?

/usr/bin/pip

/usr/bin/python

did you activate your virtualenv?

what

source bin/activate

yes

seems like something went wrong when activating. can you restart your shell and retry?

just like, deactivate

and do it again?

I'd actually restart the shell itself

how would i do that?

bschool close the terminal and reopen

does closing my ssh connection and re-opening count

yeah, that should do it

or do i need to actually restart the server?

ok

so, I have restarted

/home/nonroot/.local/bin/pip

and

/usr/bin/python

for which pip and which python, respectively

and that's after `source bin/activate`, right?

that's not good

can you explain why thats "not good"

what should it be?

it should point to /home/nonroot/mobooca/env/bin/pip (/python) after activating the virtualenv

it should be your virtualenv after you do source bin/activate

ok, is there a way to fix that, or should i just reinstall the virtualenv

a quick patch would be to run /home/nonroot/mobooca/env/bin/pip install mysqlclient

but to fix the issue with the virtualenv itself you probably have to recreate it

ok, thats doable, i can still drag and drop the code afterwards right?

do you have a good tutorial for building the Venv? i dont want to waste your time asking you to hold my hand

bschool: do you have a requirements.txt?

and clearly the one i used was not good

yessir

``virtualenv -p python3.5 env/; source env/bin/activate; pip install -r requirements.txt``

you should probably add mysqlclient to your requirements

i dont know what version to add

you don't need to specify a version, at least not for now

its installing now

i am going slow because I'm dumb

ok, so it's installed in a fresh directory

im gonna move the actual modules back now right?

wait, what are you gonna move?
