Django 3.0 alpha 1 came out this week. It introduces ASGI support thanks to lots of hard work by Andrew Godwin.

Thanks to a question from Emiliano Dalla Verde Marcozzi on the shiny new Django forums, I decided to play with it a bit. I adapted my "single file Django app" to ASGI.

Here's how to try it yourself.

First, create a new virtual environment (I'm using Python 3.7.4) and install requirements:

$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install django==3.0a1 daphne==2.3.0

Then create a new file app.py:

import html
import os
import sys

from django.conf import settings
from django.core.asgi import get_asgi_application
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.urls import path
from django.utils.crypto import get_random_string

settings.configure(
    DEBUG=(os.environ.get("DEBUG", "") == "1"),
    # Disable host header validation
    ALLOWED_HOSTS=["*"],
    # Make this module the urlconf
    ROOT_URLCONF=__name__,
    # We aren't using any security features but Django requires this setting
    SECRET_KEY=get_random_string(50),
)


def index(request):
    name = request.GET.get("name", "World")
    return HttpResponse(f"Hello, {html.escape(name)}!")


urlpatterns = [path("", index)]

application = get_asgi_application()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

Then run it under Daphne:

$ daphne app:application

Visit http://localhost:8000/?name=Django%20user in your browser to see "Hello, Django user!"

Async support in Django 3.0 is the first step, and limited to the outer handler layer. Middleware, views, the ORM, and everything you're used to in Django remains synchronous. The ASGI handler achieves this by running response generation in a thread pool.

If you want to use Websockets, you'll need a second framework for now, like Channels or Starlette.

ASGI is a simple interface with a "turtles all the way down" approach. This lets us glue our Django app to another with a "middleware" application:

django_application = get_asgi_application()
websocket_application = # TODO: make it


async def application(scope, receive, send):
    if scope['type'] == 'http':
        await django_application(scope, receive, send)
    elif scope['type'] == 'websocket':
        await websocket_application(scope, receive, send)
    else:
        raise NotImplementedError(f"Unknown scope type {scope['type']}")

ASGI support will increase with coming Django versions. DEP 9 outlines Andrew's plan for increasing ASGI support going forwards.

Fin

Hope this helps you get started experimenting with Django on ASGI,

Python's datetime module risks a whole bunch of name confusion:

• It contains a class also called datetime. When you read the word datetime, you can't be sure it's the module or the class.
• It contains a time class. This can be confused with the time module, or the time module's time() function.
• It contains a class called timezone. In a Django project this can be confused with the django.utils.timezone module

For these reasons, I use this import idiom and recommend you do too:

import datetime as dt

Rather than any of:

import datetime

from datetime import datetime  # or time, timezone

Then in your code, dt.datetime, dt.time, and dt.timezone will be unambiguous.

Fin

Hope this helps you save time understanding code,

I don't know if you've been keeping up, but there's not a lot of new coming down the pipe in PHP 7.2. Yeah, there is a good list of things that are being deprecated, and a change to allow for type widening, but compared to PHP 7.0 and PHP 7.2, PHP 7.2 is positively a yawner. This makes writing articles about the new hotness coming down the pipe a bit difficult.

What can you tell us about the team that built reportula.org?

The Team that made reportula.org is just one person. Pedro Oliveira, started Reportula when he needed a clean and fast web application that reported the Bacula Backups software of the company he works for. He has decided to open the project, and let it grow to full web application that is able to manage the Bacula Backups.

What can you tell us about the site in general? What are the goals of the site and the main audience?

Reportula is a php based web program that provides you a summarized output of jobs that have already run. It obtains its information from the Bacula's database. Aside from a nice graphical display, it provides summaries of your jobs, as well as graphs of job usage. This is a fairly high level bacula management tool.

The main goals were to create a web reporting tool for the bacula backups system, as I got further into the project it developed into something more than that. Right know it calculates average of bacula backups, it has time line history of backups. Imagine this scenario for example, if you use the crontab feature of reportula, you can see in time by how much data your backups infrastructure is growing.

Example. in 2011.05.01 if backups infrastructure stores 500 Tera bytes, in 2011.12.30 it stores 510 terabytes. This is very handy for us because with this feature you can predict the storage needs of your backups for the future.

What was your major consideration in using CodeIgniter for this?

I chose codeigniter because I needed an easy, fast, and supported PHP development framework. I found that with Codeigniter I could achieve that. This project was made in less than month.

Another nice thing about Codeigniter is that you don't have to "re-invent the wheel". Codeigniter has most of the thing that you need for an application already developed. All you have to do is connect the blocks which is very easy.

What is next on the plate for reportula.org? Any additional functionality you can tell us about?

On the plate for Reportula is user registrations, acls, and managing Bacula Backups like "bconsole".

Do you have any other information you'd like to share with the community? Tips from this project you'd like to share? Lessons you've learned?

First of all i think that Codeigniter is one of the best frameworks on the internet. I've tried them all (Cake, Yii, Symfony, Zend) they are all too complicated, too big, with lots of features and slow. They all had one problem BIG, STEEP LEARNING CURVE.

Codeigniter has less features than the others but you start making an application in less than 30 minutes. And what it does it does well! Even if you think you need a big framework after starting with codeigniter it cames to you that you don't need another framework to develop some applications. The lessons I learned are don't re-invent the wheel, Codeigniter does it and does it well, the community are nice, and always had support on the forum.

Hello Franck,

I'm sorry I have not yet encountered this problem before.

What version of eZ Pubish are you using?

What version of ezoe are you using?

If you have a set of reproducible instructions to recreate the issue using the latest community build available you may wish to consider filing an issue on http://issues.ez.no/ezoe

I hope this helps ...

Cheers,

Edit your site.ini like that :

[Session]
SessionNameHandler=custom
SessionNamePerSiteAccess=disabled

Set a common cookie_domain for all your sub domains! To do that you can edit your apache virtual_host and add that line into it :

php_value session.cookie_domain ".mysite.com"

Thanks Yannick, it was really useful, but I needed to isolate groups of siteaccess under the same domain, it's possible using site.ini / [Session] / SessionNamePrefix. You just have to set the same value for each siteaccess you want to share the session.

Example :

I have siteaccesses siteA, siteB, siteC, siteD and siteE. I want siteA, site B and siteC to share a session, and siteD and siteE to share another session.

In

• settings/siteaccess/siteA/site.ini.append.php
• settings/siteaccess/siteB/site.ini.append.php
• settings/siteaccess/siteC/site.ini.append.php

[Session]
SessionNameHandler=custom
SessionNamePerSiteAccess=disabled
SessionNamePrefix=fooPrefix

In

• settings/siteaccess/siteD/site.ini.append.php
• settings/siteaccess/siteE/site.ini.append.php

[Session]
SessionNameHandler=custom
SessionNamePerSiteAccess=disabled
SessionNamePrefix=barPrefix

Hello Amine,

I took a few minutes and wrote a custom owsimpleoperator template operator function on your behalf.
When you use this you should be able to do so without touching the code.

This solution provides you a new custom template operator named 'member_of_role' which you would use like this ... (note this is a simple static example you will want to use dynamic values instead of course.

{def $userID=10
        $roleID=1
        $isMemberOfRole=$userID|member_of_role( $roleID )}
 
{if $isMemberOfRole}
 
Success! This userID {$userID} is a member of this roleID {$roleID} ...
 
{else}
 
Failure! This userID {$userID} is *not* a member of this roleID {$roleID} ...
 
{/if}

The custom 'member_of_role' operator accepts UserID and RoleID (Both required) and fetches the user, user roles, iterates over user roles and compares RoleID param till it finds a match and returns true, false if no match is found / etc.

This operator uses builtin / core eZ Publish PHP class methods for the very best in terms of reliability and stability.

share.ez.no is terrible to use when trying to paste pre formated (whitespace, no tabs, plain text) source code within the ezoe custom plugin input which has been written outside of ezoe and pasted in.

This off and on is a real problem with this site. It's no wonder so few folks post source code within the forums these days ... So I have posted my example solution source code in a pastebin instead, http://ezpublish.pastebin.ca/2093464

Please let me know how this solution works for you.

One final note: This code can also be called statically within custom PHP code without making any changes.

Here is an example PHP call of the function which powers the operator: ''

Please remember to clear cache and regenerate autoloads be for using this solution within eZ Publish!

I hope this helps ...

Cheers,

Heath

Edit: I found some extra time later in the evening and tested the operator in templates and it worked perfectly (as well as via PHP directly). Best wishes!

It has been quite some time that I announced_ that I'd be working as a freelancer. Lots of stuff had to be done in that time, but finally things are ready. I've founded my own little company and set up a small website: Welcome to Betabug Sirius!

07 Nov 2011 9:26am GMT

zope.testbrowser is a valuable tool for integration tests. Historically, the Zope community used to write quite a lot of doctests, but we at gocept have found them to be rather clumsy and too often yielding neither good tests nor good documentation. That's why we don't use doctest much anymore, and prefer plain unittest.TestCases instead. However, doctest has one very nice feature, ellipsis matching, that is really helpful for checking HTML output, since you can only make assertions about the parts that interest you. For example, given this kind of page:

>>> print browser.contents
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Simple Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Simple Page</h1>
  </body>
</html>

If all you're interested in is that the <h1> is rendered properly, you can simply say:

>>> print browser.contents
<...<h1>Simple Page</h1>...

We've now ported this functionality to unittest, as assertEllipsis, in gocept.testing. Some examples:

self.assertEllipsis('...bar...', 'foo bar qux')
# -> nothing happens

self.assertEllipsis('foo', 'bar')
# -> AssertionError: Differences (ndiff with -expected +actual):
     - foo
     + bar

self.assertNotEllipsis('foo', 'foo')
# -> AssertionError: "Value unexpectedly matches expression 'foo'."

To use it, inherit from gocept.testing.assertion.Ellipsis in addition to unittest.TestCase.

Every week we hear of really awesome places that CodeIgniter is being used. I want to start sharing those with the community-at-large. I will start by posting them here under a new Showcase Category with the hopes that any future revisions of CI.com will have a section for stuff like this. You guys and gals make some really cool stuff and deserve a platform to show it off.

So without further ado…

This showcase is an interview with Kyle Roseborrough about GoCart

What can you tell us about the GoCart team?

We have a pair of PHP developers who knew there was a better way to build a shipping cart. Noah (lead developer) has 6 years experience in PHP development and 4 years in CodeIgniter. Gabe has about 10 years experience in web application development. Kyle has been working in UI and management for 10 years.

What can we tell about the site in general?

GoCartdv.com was built to showcase GoCart and offer some basic information on the system.

What are the goals of the site and the main audience?

The main audience is CodeIgniter developers who are wanting a simple, scalable, CodeIgniter shopping cart. The goal is to get people involved in development to improve the cart and allow it to fully embody the goal of the project. To be easy to customize for developers and easy to use for end users/customers

What was your major consideration in using CodeIgniter for this?

CodeIgniter has great documentation and is easy to learn. We build lot of custom projects on CodeIgniter and it only made sense for us to build our cart on it. When looking for commerce solutions, we never found a suitable solution built on CodeIgniter so we decided to set out to do it on our own.

What is next on the plate for GoCart?

We really want GoCart to foster a great community of people contributing back to the roadmap and path the project will take. We want the focus to remain the same though "Easy to Customize, Easy to Use". It would be great if we could get enough people using.

Any additional functionality you can tell us about?

Well, not really. GoCart is intended to be a shopping cart, plain and simple. It does have some basic page and banner management and a whole slew of cart related features, but ultimately it's an ecommerce platform.

Do you have any other information you'd like to share with the community?

We built GoCart to be simple and scalable. As time goes on, we want the software to become easier and easier to use. We want GoCart to be scalable and to be able to work with new platforms as they come out. We feel that CodeIgniter and the CodeIgniter community is a huge benefit here. It enables developers to tie into a whole plethora of libraries, helpers and applications easily and support each other in the endeavor to make CodeIgniter better. Essentially, what's good for CodeIgniter is good for GoCart.

Tips from this project you'd like to share?

If you really want something, do it yourself. If it doesn't happen then you probably don't want it as bad as you think.

Lessons you've learned?

- Not every idea is a good one. Generally you need someone else around to discuss ideas and methods with. Collaboration is the best way to build a good application.
- No one knows what the next trend will be. Having a scalable platform that will adjust to a new set of tools and user demands is very important.

If you have a project that you would like to see in our showcase email me

So, a favor to ask of people: I'm working on a web application to help people manage their resumes. As I've gotten further in, I've realized I don't have an actual todo list for it. So, since I'm making this to be used by others, I'll ask everybody here:

What would you want to see? Currently, I've added enough code to allow the program to output something very close to my online resume ( http://www.icelus.org/ ). Next up, I have the following features on my todo list already:

• add docutils to output strings where appropriate (everywhere?)
• add login
• add ability to edit own resume
• add ability to compile new custom resumes
• add ability to output PDF
• add ability to output ODT
• add ability to output DOC
• add generic logo
• add generic photo / head (shadow) shot

eZ Publish is a Web Content Management System that provides a platform to publish content via any channel. Its powerful presentation engine enables you to create websites and pages that display your content in a variety of renderings. Its powerful API directly and simply integrates your content with any web-enabled application on any device, such as the iPad, iPhone, or an Android device, without ever interfering with, or impacting the platform itself.

At the end of this tutorial, you will have learnt the basics of mobile application development for both iOS and Android platforms, consuming content from eZ Publish. CMS-side adjustments for the mobile channel will be acquired too. This cheatsheet will help you leverage the multichannel capabilities of eZ Publish, and its REST API in future projects, in a more systematic fashion.

We are happy to announce today that the user guide has had some significant improvements, and the first commit of these changes were just pushed today.

As many of you likely heard at CICON 2011, the Reactor team has had an internal project going on for some time to move the user guide to Sphinx. In addition to handling the tedium of generating page and document tables of contents, or maintaining internal links and references, the documentation is now easier to write, as you can simply focus on the content instead of markup and presentation. Don't forget syntax highlighting of PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in code samples. Based on ReStructured Text, it's also more human readable in a text editor than HTML is, which is likely where you spend most of your time. As an added benefit, Sphinx can output HTML, PDF, and even EPUB formats all from the same source files. We will likely be taking advantage of that at a later date.

But we didn't stop there, we also enlisted the thunderous powers of EllisLab's Chief Creative Officer, James Mathias for a style redesign. They are clean, easy to read, and beautiful.

Setting up your dev environment to work with Sphinx (if you want to render and output locally) is very easy, and takes about five minutes. For those that want to geek out, we have added a readme file to the user guide source folder so the step by step instructions are available right from GitHub.

Today marks the first commit with the new user guide to the unreleased develop branch, so you may encounter some bumps. Most notably are the code blocks, which pandoc lost our line breaks on, and some navigation issues as we experiment with different table of contents presentation and depth. We'll be cleaning these up prior to the next release (much is as simple as some line breaks and tabs), but feel free to pitch in and submit some pull requests if you see anything out of whack.

And lastly, for the first time ever, we have live nightly builds of documentation for the develop branch available at the CodeIgniter web site. Enjoy!

As recently some effort has been involved in improving the performances of TurboGears2, I was curious to see how much things improved. As usually, the test isn't really reliable in any way and was just for fun.

All the graphs report the request/sec the application has been able to perform on my computer with only 1 concurrent client. So higher is better.

Here is the comparison between TG2.0 and TG2dev (will be 2.1.4)

I also compared various setups with different template engines on TG2dev

The comparison happened on an application similar to the quickstarted one.
Actually as there is no database involved in this application the template engine impacts a lot and so was a good benchmark for the template engines themselves.

One thing I often wished to have when using Git was the ability to autocomplete Git commands and branch names. As I had to learn this week from Markus Prinz' article A few of my Git tricks, tips and workflows, Git comes with an autocompletion script for the Bash shell. But to use the autocompletion, […]

Till recently I always used a for-loop when I had to iterate over an array in JavaScript. For example: var myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4]; for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) { console.log(myArray[i]); } However, with ECMAScript 5 the Array object itself got some methods for iteration purposes. With those methods […]

From emails I receive it seems like there is a bit of confusion about what the terms 2-legged OAuth and 3-legged OAuth mean. I hope I can clear up this confusion with this article (and don't contribute more to the confusion…). In short, they describe two different usage scenarios of OAuth involving two respectively three […]

We can use immediately an experienced Cake developer for assisting us with developing a multi-lingual application that needs some Jake/Joomla (css) integration. We have continuously Cake projects and prefer to work with a team of individual developers in multiple time zones. Please show me that you are experienced, affordable and have at least 24 hours available per week (40 is better ;-).
