Re: How to setup Python 2.7 and Virtualenv on a shared host with no root access?

darwin31 — 2012-05-24T23:31:39

Hi, Dan

Yes you can do it. First of all you will need to install a new version of 
Python in a folder that do not require admin permissions to write files. 
1) Follow this tutorial to accomplish this first step (New python install 
on a shared host <https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/python-install>)
2) Change your PATH variable on ~/.bash_profile. Basically, all you have to 
do is to insert the new path to the Python version you just installed 
BEFORE the path that is pointing to the root (where you have no permissions 
ex: $HOME/bin). My PATH is like that: PATH=$PATH:$HOME:python/bin:$HOME/bin:
3) Install easy_install using setuptools
4) Install Pip using easy_install (easy_install pip)

After that you will be able to install whatever you want (virtualenv, 
django etc) on your shared host. I hope it helps!

Re: Django GeoIP Module not found; can't remedy

DF — 2012-05-25T00:00:51

It appeared an import statement error caused the initial problem. But once 
that was fixed, the following error results:

">>> from django.contrib.gis.utils.geoip import GeoIP
Traceback (most recent call last):

Anyone have a clue on how to remedy this?

Re: Off-line Django apps / Caching and synchronizing data

Andy McKay — 2012-05-24T23:36:54

If you have a JS based HTML 5 app, you could store data into IndexedDB
and then sync it all up when they come back online. From an end users
point of view it could be pretty seamless as they switch from online
to offline.

This would not require Django being installed, just using HTML5.


You'll likely have syncing issues whatever system you use. Choose your
pain point and remove as many syncing/conflict issues as you can
before you start implementing.

Django GeoIP Module not found; can't remedy

DF — 2012-05-24T23:10:50


I've spent several hours attempting to resolve my problems setting up GeoIP 
in Django to no avail and was hoping to get some guidance on what the 
problem(s) might be.

I'm working on an existing Django application that required some 
geolocation abilities, specifically getting a users IP and lat/long and 
then placing that info on a map marker. GeoIP and the associated libraries 
appeared to be the best solution for the first step.

I installed GeoIP on a Mac using Homebrew. I then manually created a folder 
in the root directory of my project with the GeoIPv6.data and 
GeoLiteCity.dat files. After this, I added the path in my settings file:

import os

DEBUG = True

TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

GEOIP_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'geoip'),

I then opened a command shell for the project and received the following 
error:


Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: No module named geoip

I can't seem to remedy this problem. One issue that may be the cause is 
extracting the two dat.gz files was an issue. Neither could be unzipped 
from the command line – neither are .zip files – and had to use Stuffit 
Expander to open these. The resulting dat files in my project IDE (pyCharm) 
have a VLC (?) icon on each. Perhaps this is part of the issue (finding a 
way to uncompress the file was a challenge in itself). I'm not sure as the 
module was not even found.

Any help would be extremely appreciated in resolving this issue as I can't 
progress any further without figuring out what's wrong.

Many thanks.

Correct. I dug into it more, and it's completely different query and context.


I got this to work by adding the derived field to the drill down query
with queryset.extra, and then it was available with getattr. The only
issue I had was they wanted the derived field displayed with a name
(not col1-col2). In the first query I was able to easily do this. But
in the drill down query I had to do:

extra(select={self.field_name : self.field_name})

I couldn't use the display name or the getattr failed. But then it was
displaying with 'col1-col2'. So then I had to explicitly test for it
and set the display name:

            if field_name == 'col1-col2': display_name = 'Delta'
            else: display_name = field_name

Which will quickly get very ugly when they want more derived fields
added (which I know they will).

But I'll deal with that when the time comes.

Thanks for your help.

Several hours of frustration here and looking to see if anyone has any 
advice.

I'm trying to install GeoIP vie Homebrew and receive the following error 
just prior to the install finishing:

"Error: The linking step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
You can try again using `brew link geoip'"


brew link geoip returned this error:

"Error: Could not symlink file: 
/usr/local/Cellar/geoip/1.4.8/etc/GeoIP.conf.default
/usr/local/etc is not writable. You should change its permissions."


I'm not entirely familiar with permissions and such and was wondering what 
I needed to do from the command line to get this to link properly. Any help 
greatly appreciated.

Re: Question object permission approach

Paul — 2012-05-24T21:14:37

Thanks for thinking along.

Guardian sounds really well, also given the recent commits,,,,

However, such 'dynamic' authentication method (meaning users shall be
explicitly authorized or not) is overhead in my case since the
permission is 'static'; its simply dependent on the user field of the
model.

I followed your example by overloading the get_queryset and that
really a simple solution to this issue.

Tests are running now; all 404's; great!

Re: track change

Carsten Jantzen — 2012-05-24T21:00:58

Hi Bruno

It's only to overview the stats and be able to track it.

I had started looking at binding the skill to the player og detecting
in the skill if it's changed. If its change then create a new one. But
I can see the point in putting it en a seperate class and make it a
skill changed instead.

Not sure what you mean by detecting skill change using properties, I
havn't looked into that.
Could you point to some documentation about it.

Thanks for the input, it has been very helpful.

No I'm not doing the Django tutorial. I'm following a couple of older
Django books that were published circa 2009 using Django 1.1. ('m
using Django 1.3). I did set up Staticfiles  (the Django 1.3 way, the
best I could as a newbie, following djangoproject directions) but
staticfiles is of course for static pages...I did create a page with
base.html and css, and was able to view that.  Are Admin pages and the
Index page considered staticfiles? If so, maybe I didn't set that up
right?

Re: Registering and authenticating via iPhone/Android app

Roarster — 2012-05-24T19:45:02

Yeah, as far as I can tell Piston development seems to be pretty much dead 
and Tastypie and django-rest-framework are the choices now for an API.  I 
think I'm going to try and use Tastypie since that seems to at least have 
some OAuth support at the moment.  I think I'll also try and register and 
authenticate an existing user directly through the API.  I'm still 
struggling to find any examples of anyone doing that via a Django API but 
to me it seems right to use a consistent approach (i.e. all communication 
from client to server through the API).

Thanks.

Error with Views on Admin and Index page

cat123 — 2012-05-24T18:44:20

I'm new to Django and recently got my very first environment set up
(Python 2.7, Django 1.3, with Postgres 9.1.3 and virtualenv)...

I set up everything for "Admin," (first time setup),got the LogIn
Page. But when I logged in, instead of going to the admin screen, I
got a message saying:

TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/
Caught ViewDoesNotExist while rendering. Could not import views. Error
was: No module named views.

I noticed I also get something similar after I uncommented the django-
supplied index page (in urls.py) (which I have also never
resolved...seems they may be connected?):

ViewDoesNotExist at / Could not import hgb_project.views. Error was:
No module named views

Would appreciate any help anyone has to offer...
