Lot of Django posts I see on Reddit

Hey I just started learning Django and Python. I need some help with how to do this.

‘Posts some complicated shit that makes me think why the hell am I not on this level when I just started learning Django too?’

What workflows are people automating?

I do financial + campaign analytics at my company and lately I’ve been at work building a full campaign forecasting + expensing + ROI calculating pipeline with several other teams. It’s exciting work but it’s mostly just procedural programming with pandas. I’m curious what others are up to. What business processes are you automating, improving or making more efficient?

The time before a page is loaded in the browser is very slow on list views with around 400 objects, what can I do to improve that and there what tools do you suggest to profile where the bottlenecks lie?

I can paginate generic list views, and that does improve the time for the page to be served.

But I have some other list views which use FilterSet from django-filter, and those can't be paginated(well, out of the box, at least)
They can take around 16 secs to fully send the page to the browser, and that's just for around 400 objects. I know the problem is not database related, because according to django-debug-toolbar the SQL quiries finish around 150 ms.

Are these serving times normal?

[AF] Getting error 404 when using search bar?

Hi, so I want to make a search-bar which searches the database for posts with the same name as the query.

Here is the current code I have in my routes.py file:

@app.route('/search_result/<search_str>', methods=['GET'])
def search_result(search_str):
post_query = Post.query.filter_by(title=search_str).all()
topic_query = Topic.query.filter_by(tag_name=search_str).all()

return render_template('search_result.html', post_query=post_query, topic_query=topic_query)

@app.route('/search', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def search():
form = SearchForm()
if request.method == 'POST' and form.validate_on_submit():
search_str = form.search_str.data
return redirect(url_for('search_result', search_str=str(search_str)))

return redirect(url_for('search_result', search_str=form.search_str.data))

And here is the code for the base.html file:

<div class="searchbar">

<form action="{{ url_for('search') }}" method=post>
<input type="text" name="search" placeholder="Search...">
</form>

</div>

So my problem is this. Whenever I make a search using the input, for some reason it is never saved and an error 404 is made. What should happen is that the search() function would take the inputs from the form and redirect to the search_result route.

What exactly is going on?

Here is my github repo for it if you need more context:

How to Create and Manage Menus of Wagtail CMS

I wrote a blog post talking about how to create and manage menus in Wagtail CMS. It would help you understand how the menu in Wagtail works, and it would also introduce you wagtailmenus, a powerful menu plugin for Wagtail.

BTW, if you have question about Wagtail, feel free to ask.

Glowscript in JupyterLab

I believe I read that currently there are no plans to have JavaScript implemented in JupyterLab. This would mean that Glowscript would no longer be supported. Am I reading this wrong, or are glowscript’s days numbered with Jupiter? Or perhaps Jupyter notebooks will be around for the foreseeable future? I think many physics educators would be interested in knowing if glowscript will still be supported.

[AF] It's 2018 - how do you document your REST APIs in Flask?

Hey everyone, I'm currently using Flask as a RESTful API endpoint using Flask-RESTful. At the moment I'm just writing the API without any sort of documentation at all. I have no idea where to turn to learn about building documentation for my APIs, or if Flask-RESTful is still even the consensus king for setting up REST endpoints in Flask. Most documentation I can find on this subject is years old.

So my question: it's 2018 - what is everyone using for RESTful API endpoints + documentation in Flask?

Running a python script together with django - best practice question

Hi, this is very tangential to regular python programming, but maybe you guys have encountered the same problem!

I'm building a web-app that needs support from a script, or other application running on the server. The function of the script is to match entries from an order model.

Short-code: matcher.py

from app.models import item1model, item2model, madematchmodel
import time

While True:
item1=item1model.objects.get(identifier='id')
item2=item2model.objects.get(identifier='id')
if match:
match=madematchmodel(item1=item1, item2=item2)
match.save()
else:
pass
time.sleep(5)

As you might notice I'm a novice at both django and programming in general, am I breaking any major rules by having a constantly running While True:-script here?

What is a better way to accomplish this?

Where is Django's under the hood stuff located?

Watching the command line drift by I notice references to files that aren't in y project files, and when I get errors also. I am wondering where these files are? I' just curious as to how things work under the hood.

Mobile App Creation

I'm wondering, would the following be a viable strategy for a mobile application? use Python Kivy cross\-platform for front\-end; some sort of Distributed D.B like NoSQL with Python queries for Backend; and REST or SOCKET or some sort of messaging\-bus for Front\-end to back\-end interactions?
