How do you delete expired sessions?

I have a hosted django app and found out there are some old expired sessions as old as 2018.

Is it a good practice to delete expired sessions?

What is the usual strategy to delete expired sessions?
May be a CRON job, or run the "clearsessions" management command for every deployment, etc...?

Any there any problems/pitfalls with deleting expired sessions?

Unique field not throwing graceful ValidationError

Creating API app. Field in question:

phone = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=True, unique=True, error_messages={"unique": "A user with that phone number already exists, please login."})

I ran the migration and its clearly being enforced when I try to create a user with the same phone, but why not gracefully (see below) like email does?

OUTPUT

API: 422 output to API but no error message

Server log: [Long stack trace\] django.db.utils.IntegrityError: duplicate key value violates unique constraint + INTERNAL SERVER ERROR given

Thanks!

How could we do a reliable social authentication api with custom user model?

I've been wanting to make a vue/ionic mobile app with django as the backend and I wanted to make 3 sign in options (google, facebook, email).
I have implemented the email sign up/log in api with simpleJWT. I then tried to use django-allauth to make the facebook and google auth but I discovered that they have their own views and not very good documentation for customizing the views.

I found the dj-rest-auth as a method of making a rest auth api, unfortunately when using the documentation I have this error coming up.

is there a way to either fix this issue or maybe there's a different implementation I should do?

also how can I register custom users while using social auth? registering accounts with socialaccounts fills the user form automatically and I want to ask the user to add certain fields like gender and birthday etc.

any sort of help or sources or demos would be appreciated.

Extracting pdf page count corrupts attachment

I am developing a Django website, wherein I have a django form that collects some data and a file from the user, and then mail the response to a mail ID. If the file happens to be a PDF, the form is supposed to automatically get its page count and add it to the mail body.

I am able to successfully isolate pdf files and even get the page count value correctly, the process of getting page count seems to corrupt the pdf file when it is attached to the email.

Emailing is being handled with django email, and I have tried to read page count using PyPDF2 and pdfminer, but both give the same outcome. The file is not being stored to any database.

What should I do?

EDIT: Problem solved. Thanks all!

I made Light Config (LCO) - a super small package/snippet to load a config once and use it anywhere in your application

Light Config (LCO)

I made this package for prototypes, MVPs or research code, not really something I would use for production. I find it neat since you can just load a config like so from anywhere in your code.

import lco

lco.init("yourconfigfile.yml")

And access the configuration parameters specified in the YAML file from anywhere (across threads and processes) like so:

import lco

lco"some_key"
lco"some_group""some_key"


I hope this is useful for anyone besides me :)

Edit:
If you don't have tons of nested parameters and different data types I would recommend using dotenv over my solution!

Python bindings for RocksDB and LevelDB

My team and I have been working on a large project to unify interfaces across the most famous Key-Value Stores and extend their functionality to support Documents, Graphs, and other forms of content. Similar to how RedisJSON, RedisGraph, and RediSearch augment the functionality of Redis.

import ukv.rocksdb as embedded
db = embedded.DataBase('/tmp/ukv/rocksdb/')
db.main[42] = 'Hi'

Python is the most critical language for the bindings, as we do a fair share of Machine Learning. We are building the bindings for Graph collections to look like NetworkX and the ones for Tabular collections - like Pandas. But the latter is still far from being feature-complete.

db['social'].graph.add_edge(alice_id, bob_id)
db['payments'].table[['name', 'amount']].tail(5)

There is also little difference between having it locally vs. remotely. You can set up a remote machine with 100 TBs of NVMe SSDs, running RocksDB, storing a graph with 1 Trillion edges, and still talk to it as if it is a tiny local in-memory graph.

The project is still in its infancy, and we would appreciate any feedback! Thank you!

why SQL is a requirement for Django jobs?

I was researching job requirements for Django developers, I have conducted a study on various job listings and have noticed that a significant number of companies require knowledge of raw SQL as a skill. However, I am puzzled by this requirement as I understand that Django follows the MVT (Model View Template) pattern, where database-related code is handled by the Model. This raises a question as to why raw SQL skills would be necessary for a Django developer. Can you provide a detailed explanation on the importance of raw SQL skills in the context of Django development and how it relates to the MVT pattern? Are there any specific tasks or scenarios that would require the use of raw SQL in a Django project? Are there any particular industry segments or areas where this skill is particularly valued?

Is it right to create a custom authentication form.Forms instead of extending the Django AuthenticationForm?

I've been working on my first authentication system using Django and I wanted to make it complete, with field validations, login with email and even send a confirmation email to activate the account (which I haven't done yet). So far, I have made: A small custom user model with email field, an extension of the UserCreationForm to register users using their emails (which works), and finally the main problem, I tried to make an extension of the AuthenticationForm to login users using their emails instead of their usernames, but it doesn't seem to work. First, I tried to overwrite the clean method of the form but it didn't work, then I tried to make a backend.py to overwrite how the authentication system works but it failed and I couldn't understand why, so I created my own form using form.Forms with all the necessary fields and validations and it worked fine. I've heard that it's not a good idea to use form.Forms if I interact with models, but it was the only solution I could think of. Should I try to extend the AuthenticationForm instead of creating a form from scratch? Or is my form fine for the system I want
