i was thinking on implementing a boolean field in my models to set the record as hide whenever someone click delete,instead of entirely deleting a record.i beleive this would be a safest way to recover a record whenever a mistake happens.whats your opinion?

Structuring a ForeignKey/M2M Query to build Context to send to Template

I have been stuck on this for a while... I am able to format the data the way I want in the view using loops and nested queries, but I can't quite figure out how to pass it to my template. I think I can build the data the way I want manually using a list of dictionaries, but I am assuming there's a better way to "chase" all the relationships to deliver everything in one data structure. I saw "through" mentioned, but could quite get it working.

​

Here's are my Models:

Here's my View which shows that I can print want I want to eventually show in the template, but how do I structure it in my view to send to HTML, since I can't run the nested query for registrations in my template.

Uvicorn, Async DRF views and Thread count

I have recently started using ADRF to create a mini application. This application uses class based views and built on Django 4.1. The below is the code for my only view:

    class FooAPIView(AsyncGenericAPIView):
      async def get(self, request, format=None):
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        await Foo.objects.acount()
        return Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

I went on to check if this still uses Python threads, so I made hundreds of request (lets say X) using curl with curl `http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/foo/` & curl `http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/foo/` & curl `http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/foo/`... . in that instance I noticed, the debugger showed me X number of ThreadPool executors.

Then I used both uvicorn to run asgi server and the runserver command to measure the threads using htop, I didn't really see a difference.

So how can I make sure the async API implementation has got the ability to service hundreds of connections without using Python threads?

What am I missing here?

Need help running Django at a local machine after deploying it

I'm using Digital Ocean app platform to host my website but after following the settings from the end of [this documentation](https://docs.digitalocean.com/tutorials/app-deploy-django-app/) from the website (at the end of step 2), there's something I think I'm missing cause I have deployed the app following the guide but now I can't run it on my local machine.

The error comes from this snippet, throwing the Exception "DATABASE\_URL environment variable not defined"

elif len(sys.argv) > 0 and sys.argv[1] != 'collectstatic':
if os.getenv("DATABASE_URL", None) is None:
raise Exception("DATABASE_URL environment variable not defined")

Django based Micro-service oriented project

Hello everyone,

I have built a micro-service oriented Django project. It uses Django-Rest-Framework for building REST APIs and DRF_simplejwt for token authentication. Each service is dockerized and I used NGINX as an API Gateway to route API requests to different services.

Check out the project at https://github.com/Abhra303/pr-assign. If you like the project, drop a ⭐️. If you have any suggestions or opinion, feel free to share with me. Thanks :)

Dealing with content pages

I’m still pretty new to Django. I’ve figured out how to use it for data (product catalogs, spec sheets, etc), but I’m not really sure how to best use it for a simple about page.

It seems kind of weird to make an app and singleton model specifically for a single page. What if there are a series of cards that I want displayed one day, then don’t need them the rest? Sure I can just remove them from the model, but I feel like I’m doing it wrong. I could also create a “pages app”, but because Django has no block builder I’m pretty relegated to WYSIWYG editors. So the pages all have to be very similar and pretty boring.

How do you guys approach stuff like this in Django?

ModelChoices with Select2 Widget - How to provide initial?

I've printed the widgets \_\_dict\_\_, so I can have a better overview

{
'model': None, 'queryset': None, 'search_fields':
['ticker__icontains', 'company__icontains'], 'max_results': 25, 'attrs': {}, 'choices': [], 'i18n_name': None, 'uuid': '43fe50ef-052a-4128-ba06-008a08c2bdfc', 'field_id': 'IjQzZmU1MGVmLTA1MmEtNDEyOC1iYTA2LTAwOGEwOGMyYmRmYyI:1pIvd4:u9IioxidlmRNmxYFIcP26crofoamfgZgXHhmD5U0hcQ',
'data_view': 'django_select2:auto-json', 'data_url': None, 'userGetValTextFuncName': 'null', 'is_required': False
}

Is there any possibilty of providing an initial value? The following is the \_\_init\_\_ of the form which currently uses TickerSearchWidget:

def __init__(self, *args, request, **kwargs):
self.request = request
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
print(self.fields["stocks"].widget.__dict__) # result above this block
self.fields["stocks"].widget.initial = self.initial.get("stocks")

# self.initial.get("stocks") refers a list of ids for a class Stock
# I've recognized that the widget utilizes the instance ids
# So self.initial.get("stocks") is f.ex. [123, 227, 821]

The Widget:

class TickerSearchWidget(ModelSelect2MultipleWidget):

B2B/SaaS applications: Seeking some advice on best practices

Seeking some advice/resources on building a user model in Django that reflects a B2B-style application. An example of successful implementation or conceptually-similar applications would be incredibly helpful.

I am building an application that is attempting to reflect B2B functionality - Users can have Membership on one (or more) Teams. Teams can be created by any User upon purchase of at least one product. A Team (more specifically a Team owner role) can purchase Services and associate them with the Team. A Team admin role can create roles custom to the Team and define permissions for those roles, and add one or more roles to a User’s Membership. Users who have Membership on multiple Teams (and who may have different roles/permissions on each of those Teams) can switch Team environments, which will deactivate the Team permissions assigned to the session and activate the permissions assigned to their Membership on the new Team. An authenticated User may have multiple Memberships, but they may only have one set of Membership permissions active at any point in time.

The biggest challenge I have is being able to assign groups/permissions to an object that is not User, but that is related to User, and being

Need help adding a simple calendar visual

I have written a simple blog app in django that works well and I enjoy using it. Each post has a title and a date of when posted and a rating for content complexity (high med low).

I want to create a sort of mini calendar view that shows a month's calendar grid with each day cell colored according to the complexity of the post something like (red yellow green).

I can't find any easy way to draw the calendar grid on the homepage of the site and fill in the cell (day's) color. Does anyone have any examples for something similar? Maybe someone made a fitness app that has a simple view only calendar showing "cheat days" colored in green or something?

All the examples I find online are fairly complex and I don't want to add all that to my code to create like a full feature scheduling or event calendar with user entry on the calendar itself. I just want it to visualize the month's comments complexity at a glance a month at a time and be readonly.

Thanks!

Flatliner: turn python programs into one line of (still python) code

Ever wanted to turn your python program into a single line of code? No? Well now you can!

Introducing Flatliner, a python transpiler that turns python programs into a single line of code.

# What does it do?

Put simply, it can turn python programs like:

def func(a: int, b: int) -> str:
result = a + b
return f'{a} + {b} equals {result}'

print(func(5, 6))

Into a single line of (still python) code, without using any "cheats" like semicolons and string execution:

(lambda func: print(func(5, 6)))(lambda a, b: (lambda result: f'{a} + {b} equals {result}')((a + b)))

Running this line of code produces the same results as the original program:

>>> (lambda func: print(func(5, 6)))(lambda a, b: (lambda result: f'{a} + {b} equals {result}')((a + b)))
5 + 6 equals 11

Interfaces with Protocols: why not ditch ABC for good?

Hello, if one finds interfaces useful in Python (>=3.8) and is convinced that static type-checking is a must, then why not ditch ABC and always use Protocols? I understand that the fundamental idea of a protocol is slightly different from an interface, but in practice, I had great success replacing abc's with Protocols without regrets.

With abc you would write (https://docs.python.org/3/library/abc.html) :

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class Animal(ABC):
@abstractmethod
def eat(self, food) -> float:
pass

Whereas with Protocols it's gonna be (good tutorial):

from typing import Protocol

class Animal(Protocol):
def eat(self, food) -> float:
...

Scores in my subjective scoring system :)

|Capability|ABC|Protocols|
|:-|:-|:-|
|Runtime checking|1|1 (with a decorator)|
|Static checking with mypy|1|1|
|Explicit interface (class Dog(Animal):)|1|1|
|Implicit interface with duck-typing (class Dog:)|0.5 (kind of with register, but it doesn't work with mypy yet)|1|
|Default method implementation (def f(self): return 5)|\-1 (implementations shouldn't be in the interfaces)|\-1 (same, and mypy doesn't

Differentiating what Python skills a data scientist would need vs. a developer/engineer

Hello all!

I’m currently working on my MS in Data Science and I’m learning a ton of Python. I’m comfortable with my understanding of the material we’ve learned so far, so I’m looking to work ahead and just make sure I have an excellent foundation.

I’m having a hard time trying to figure out what’s actually valuable to learn for someone trying to work in DS in the future. I don’t want to spend my time learning things that would be most useful for a Software Engineer or Developer when I could ensure my DS toolkit is very well equipped.

I know visualization, data cleaning and statistics are areas that are key to being a good DS, but I know they’re part of my masters curriculum. However, I’m not sure something like Data Structures and Algorithms would be a part of it. Would something like that be valuable to invest some time into? Any insight into other valuable topics would be awesome!
