New to Python/Django; following the Tutorial but it seems to take issue with SQLite?

This tutorial: [Link]( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/tutorial02/ ) - I'm stuck right before "Introducing the Django Admin"

I created the database according to the instructions, and I used SQLite3 because it was recommended. I wanted MySQL, but alas, I chose SQLite, which seems to cause issues - now I believe the model/migration (?) does not contain the proper FOREIGN_KEY, so I cannot continue. How do I fix this?

manage.py sqlmigrate only shows the CREATE_TABLE commands, the foreign key was mentioned but it seems there was no constraint added alongside it, and as a result the choice_set does not exist (i.e., there's no Related Manager attached, according to Google).

Apparently constraints were disabled by default for SQLite3 (why would the tutorial recommend it and not mention that?) - but it was also supposedly fixed years ago ([Link](https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14204) and [Link 2](https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14204))

That is as far as googling got me. I have considerable programming experience, but none in Python/with Django, and so I am unable to find the solution on my own. Would anybody be willing to help?

Help me understand get_object_or_404 better

Hey folks,

I have a couple of FBVs in a couple of learning projects, where I have get_object_or_404() functions, and I'd like to understand it better where it takes the argument from.

Does it always get the argument from the url pattern? I guess I think about url patterns as just a slug definer, and not as part of the core code.

This one adds a picture to a given project:
FBV:
> @login_required
def adicionar_post_ao_projeto(request, pk):
projeto = get_object_or_404(Projeto, pk=pk)
if request.method == "POST":
form = PostForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
post = form.save(commit=False)
post.projeto = projeto
post.user = request.user
post.save()
return redirect('posts:single', pk=post.pk)
else:
form = PostForm()
return render(request, 'post_form.html', {'form': form})

URL pattern:
> url(r"(?P<pk>\d+)/novafoto$",views.adicionar_post_ao_projeto,name="adicionar_foto_ao_projeto"),



Sorry if my logic thinking here is not clear enough.

What is the best python implementation to optimize a lot of gridsearch iterations?

Hello,

I have a small dataset that needs to be trained using different ML algorithm. Also those algorithms need to be tuned using gridsearch. In native python running the script can take up to a day.

I need to choose the environment that will be best fit to run such a task.

What would be your suggestion? Native Python, Pyspark or some different implementation of python? Maybe splitting the tasks?

pyvips 1.0 released: fast, low memory use image handling for all Python runtimes

pyvips 1.0 has just been released:

https://jcupitt.github.io/libvips/2017/09/01/libvips-for-Python.html

It's a binding for the libvips image processing library. On this benchmark at least, pyvips is more than 4x faster than Pillow-SIMD and needs less than 1/4 of the memory:

https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips/wiki/Speed-and-memory-use

libvips has included a Python binding for a long time, but it's been very annoying to install and has had limited documentation.

This new binding is based on cffi, so as long as you can get the libvips shared library on to your system (via apt, yum, homebrew, or a download of the win binary), it's just "pip install pyvips". There are dynamic docs with help(), and also full on-line docs:

Programming Fundamentals for Data Science [xpost from datascience]

I am entering my final semester in a Data Science Master's program and just completed a three month data science internship at a large corporation. While the experience was very fulfilling, it also highlighted my lack of programming (and math!) background or experience.


I have a Bachelor's in business before I joined the program and only did simple SQL work - self taught - in my last job. I've obviously done schoolwork in Python and R, but it became apparent when the training wheels came off and I was faced with a blank screen that there was much I didn't know.


What concepts, methods, best practices are fundamental to learn to become proficient in Python/R, or better yet, give me the ability to pick up any language I may need in the future.

Thanks!

Is there an extension like Flask-Admin, but for the user to use?

So If I have a web application with users, and they have a lot of data in databases is there an extension out there to make displaying all this data to them easier than building out tables in html and passing the data through?

Hunter 2.0 - can now trace other processes

Just made a release (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hunter#changelog) with a process tracing feature. It works in two ways:

* GDB injection. Like all the other projects, it's prone to the same kinds of problems, deadlocks, segfaults and whatnot. But for development I guess it's ok ...
* Bootstrapping via [manhole](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/manhole). A convenience `hunter.remote.install()` is provided.

Give it a try, eg `pip install -U 'hunter[remote]'` and `hunter-trace -p PID --gdb`.

Also, it has filters, eg: `hunter-trace -p PID stdlib=False`.

Windows ain't supported. If you have ideas for Windows support let me know.

PS. Yes, I don't know how to reddit.

syntax error when following the official tutorial!

I've gotten [this](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/tutorial02/#playing-with-the-api) far into the official tutorail for Django, but I keep getting an error when getting to the filter function.

Here's the command I tried to run, and its consequent output:

>>> Question.objects.filter(id=1)
File "<console>", line 1
Question.objects.filter(id=1)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


What have I done wrong? I've been sure to import the models and that doens't return any errors.

Here's my models.py: https://gist.github.com/wOstensen/d55c63135df9da9c99a61e80a7a7aeee

Best Practices: OOP in Python.

I sure this question is nothing new but I want to hear your answers anyways. I am actually new to object-oriented programming (even though I know the theoretical concepts; OOP has a lot of resemblance in pure math, particularly in set theory).

What are some best practices in creating OOP systems in Python? And what are some bad practices to avoid?

Throughout my programming experience, I spent most of my time organizing my programs into functions/definitions, not necessarily relying much on classes. But I think OOP, as a paradigm, is pretty good for implementing mathematical structures.

How to count choices in aggregation?

suppose we have a model of a document:

class Document(TitleDescriptionModel, TimeStampedModel):
...
source = models.ForeignKey(Source, related_name='docs', blank=True, null=True)

class Meta:
ordering = ('year', 'month', 'title' )

and its source:

class Source(models.Model):
PHOTO = 'photo'
NEWSPAPER = 'newspaper'
MAGAZINE = 'magazine'
BOOK = 'book'
OTHER = 'other'
...
kind = models.CharField(max_length=32, choices=TYPE_CHOICES, default=PHOTO)

class Meta:
ordering = ('title', 'id', )

how to get how many photos, newspapers and magazines are in db?

the only solution i know is to use standard Counter:

qs = Document.objects.values_list('source__kind', flat=True)
counter = Counter(qs)

Counter({'other': 123,
'newspaper': 234,
'magazine': 345,
'book': 456,
'photo': 567,
None: 111})

i tried to do the same with `aggregate` but in vain. how could it be done?
