Best relevant/real-world Django apps job seekers should make themselves...

Iam currently trying for a python django developer job as a career change after doing an internship, since the job market is shit and it will take some time to recover from it, Iam thinking of developing a practical application all by myself in the meantime , the kind that i will have to make after getting a job as a developer so that it will help me to master Django more efficiently and increase my chances of getting hired, what are the ones i should try ?, also it will be great if resources that will help me for this are suggested, also need to know about the relevant methods for things like authorisation etc...

Make sure you have Pipenv installed globally on your system. Instructions are at the bottom of the README.

Please note that if you're on Windows and haven't yet run anything on " 127.0.0.1 ", you may need to open Command Prompt as an administrator, run the command " netsh winsock reset " and then restart your computer.

How to organize your team to work with Django and Git ?

Hi everyone,

I'm a student in computer sciences and with 5 friends we will go on a challenge where we must create a web site in \~16 hours.
We chose to use Django because it really conform to what we need, and we learned how to use it for this challenge.
However, we learned separately and we might know how to create a project on our own but not as a team.
We know how to use Git and will obviously use it, but we don't know how we should organize ourselves to work efficiently.
How shoud we work with Git so our Django project is optimal ? I'll explain what I mean :

It might appends that we are working on dependant project, like one guy on a database and another one on the front end to show this database. How can we prepare and work so we don't have to always ask eachother what are they doing ?
Also for the templates, the url management, and how to avoid big merge conflict ? If we do separate apps in Django, how can we do so at the end it's easy to merge them ?

For now

Python to C translater: free, open-source and online

It walks Python ast and build C-code. You can use while...else, if...elif...else, functions with default arguments, pow and preproc constants, links, inline if...else.

I will try to use the translater to programming microcontrollers.

More examples are at "tests" directory.

How can I log out a user and create a new User?

Following tutorials for Django usages of JWT, most contain a simple tutorial of logging in and refresh code. In particular it looks like this,

path('api/token/', TokenObtainPairView.as_view(), name='token_obtain_pair'),
path('api/token/refresh/', TokenRefreshView.as_view(), name='token_refresh'),

However when logging out, most of it is client-side "log outs" just clear the localStorage
but I feel this would cause problems because the access token in still on the DB. I see a \`TokenBlacklistView\` available. Is this the correct procedure to logout, to also blacklist the access token?

On a different note I don't see a View to create accounts, does anyone know where I can find it?

New to Django - Where do you start your project after planning features?

I wanted to start a new Web app project and chose Django for it. Due to the reason it's python and I can also use python libraries for background tasks.

But I have problems deciding to what to start with. Maybe first design the basic layout of my pages? How do you guys do that? I have some problems, and may go the way to first design my pages in pure html before adapting them to Django.

What is a proper DB design for newsletter subscribers, unsubscribers, and registered users when dealing with email lists?

From these methods what is the most common way of keeping track of newsletter subscribers?

A) You have 2 tables one for users and one for people that aren't users but subscribed to your newsletter. When you are going to send marketing emails you join the data from both tables to get your final email list.

B) You only have a newsletter table where people subscribe to, and when a user registers to the website it not only creates an entry in the Users table but also a duplicate entry in the newsletter table. When you need to send marketing emails, you only grab emails from the newsletter table.

And with these methods, how do you deal with unsubscribes?

With method B is very easy, you can simply create a Boolean field to keep track of that

But method A you have 2 tables to keep track of, so do you create a 3rd table to keep track of unsubscribes? Seems a bit unnecessary.

I'm sure this has been done a billion times, so just wondering what is the most common pattern for this.

Thoughts on AWS Glue? I kinda hate it

1000 lines of code to transform and join several tables into one. Any errors do not say which row failed. Debugging is a nightmare.

Use case is 100’s of thousands of records. If I was working locally, I could easily load all of the records into a store and transform row by row in a much more declarative way and have far superior error handling/logging. It’s not my choice to be working in Glue.

I’m new to AWS work. Is there a better way to run python programs that don’t require clustering like in glue?

Adding a custom user model after creating a project - how screwed am I?

I've been using Django for about a year and at the start, I thought it was mainly going to be for storing data and the ORM was a big draw, along with ease if setup and use etc.

I didn't really think about setting up a custom user model because at the time, we thought we'd use another system or an API later to put data in but now I want use it to make a proper web app as well.

How hard is it to incorporate a custom user model in an existing project and what things do I need to consider?

What to do when a FOSS library's namespace is too generic? Is it worth signalling?

Maybe it's the very frustrating last 24 hours talking, but as I found out that pandoc != pypandoc I lost it.

In the Haskell community, there is often talk about namespaces being a community resource, and thus we need to thread carefully when choosing a name for a new project that is publicly available and on one of the language's main package repos.

Does this kind of discussion also exist for Python?

issue with AD auth with two resource group allow

Hi everyone, I am kinda newbie to Django and now I am helping my company to build an AD auth with the web app.
I am using django-auth-ldap for setting it and based on the group of users, they have certain permissions to view the page with Python decorators.

But the issue I am encountering is that users in group A can login and permission are all fine, but for the users in group B, they can log in but it always redirect to the httpforbben page due to the decorator, they cannot access anything. So there is something wrong with the ldap setup in [setting.py](https://setting.py)

​

I tried to used nested group (i.e. group B is under group A) to see if user in group B can access the page but it is still in vain. I now separate it and try to setup something like this in [setting.py](https://setting.py)

AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP = (
LDAPGroupQuery("cn=groupA,ou=windows,ou=GALAXY_TEAM,ou=Applications,o=IAM") |
LDAPGroupQuery("cn=groupB,ou=linux,ou=GALAXY_TEAM,ou=Applications,o=IAM")
)

but still the user in that group cannot login..

does anyone have the experience in setting up ldap permission on multiple groups?

How to login to Django views from React?

Currently I am facing an issue where I can sign in from react accurately but my django session is not updated based on whether I login or logout from react.

What I am expecting is that when I sign in through react, my current user view in django will be changed to demonstrate the current user I signed in as from react but at this moment no changes can be seen. Using jwt tokens from react, I am able to access the current user view and get the correct user but this change can only be observed in react and the server side isn't adjusted to have the correct user logged in.

The following image demonstrates my problem: problem

Please provide any help that you can as I have been stuck on this problem for roughly a week now and have been unable to find a solution.

This is how I handle sign ins in react.

//Signs In the user through Django
const handleSignIn = async ()=> {
try {
const response = await axios.post('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login/', {
