#django

dillon_: cool

yeah,I figured it'd be a process of proving each part had the right setting

Yeah - took a *lot* longer than I'd expected, but hey, I learned something aye?

yarp

hi, is there a django-rest-framework channel?

TaylorHere: #restframework

thx

hello everyone

do I need to install python-wsgi to be able to use django on ubuntu linux

I am using nginx server

and using python as server side scripting language of choice for web development

no

you will need a wsgi server of some sort, like gunicorn

once you get to deployment

FunkyBob: I have installed nginx server

what do I need to do to start using django

that's a web server, not an app server

newbie here

have you worked through the tutorial yet?

you won't need nginx for that

I am watching one now

no

but using windows OS

tha actual tutorial

I am using ubuntu 16.04

in the django docs

so long as you have python3 installed... you can get started

easyOnMe: Or Django Girls do provide also pretty throughout tutorial https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/

but you might also want to install python3-venv ... using a virtualenv is very helpful

I'm facing an apparently very dumb URL config problem

jtiai: +1

my URL is r'^(?P<file_slot>[-\w]+)/

and recto-verso/ does not qualify somehow

Alphare: you forgot ^ and $

FunkyBob: it's between includes

Alphare: ok

recto works

but adding a dash somehow does not work

odd

but my regex is valid

yeah, I'll keep looking

Doesn't dash need to be escaped?

(it is a URL config issue, not view-level 404)

holy...

I was changing the wrong file

tolja: not in that case, typically

Alphare: that'd do it

heh

same urlconfig file, two projects

dammit

thanks :D

np

well, at least I've fixed the bug in the other project as well

so... was having lunch with an old friend today... and as a way to class it as a business lunch [and thus tax deductible :)] ... I asked if she needed any coding done

as it turned out... she does :P

yay, the best kind of business lunch :D

haha

FunkyBob so do I

Its Java tho

Want halp?

Want to alp*

...

Want to halp*

How can i avoid creating an unique index with models.ForeignKey('self', blank=True, null=True)?

tolja: That shouldn't create unique index...

tolja: what makes you think it would create a unique index?

mcspud: I'm listening

You'll be helping

No $$$

Just to help me :

D

sure, once there's room for it in my non-work queue

howdy

hi

Because there is an unique index in the db and i haven't touched the indexes at all myself

tolja: you sure that's not just on the primary key?

Yeah

going to show us any evidence? details? etc?

which dbms, btw?

pg

I'll see if i can reproduce this elsewhere

just run psql and do a \d on the table

i have a rather weird request: here's the story: as part of a job interview I have to complete a task on a tech I'm not used to on codility to measure adaptability; i've been saddled with djang with which I never worked so I thought I'd come here for help

fritzroy15: how long have you got to complete the task?

i'm thinking this is almost a cheat for passing the test but my question is, are any of the big wigs around on the chanel so I can ask random stuff

FunkyBob 70 mins

there a lots of highly experienced people hanging out here

the thing I learned with IRC channels is that depending on the channel, some are more active during certain periods

#openstack for example is definitely more live during evening hours

( evening my time, CET+1 )

i'm guessing that's because the knowledge powerhouse is from the US

Now, you’ve usually got the Europeans procrastinating at work

like what I’m doing now

+1

Hey, I'm not procrastnating!

i have some strange behavior

I never procrastinate

Xorg: what's that?

great, so I'll take a crack at it now, see how it goes... gotta admit, they really threw me a curve ball with this one

should first read a little about django so I'm not completely out of it

fritzroy15: start with the tutorial in the docs
