I have just downloaded some Django samples from Github, but I cannot find "manage.py" in them so I could run the server.
does anyone have any idea about how to run this kind of projects? PLEASE ..enter image description here
Try running,
python setup.py install
You could learn more about installing and how to integrating
django-zinnia in the link here
I'm afraid you need to have an existing project for this application.
You could start one by running
django-admin startproject project_name

I downloaded the necessary files from the link https://github.com/django/django.git and pasted them in to my virtual env directory
After setting up and activating the virtualenv, when I run the following command:
$ pip install -e django/
It produces this error:
(ENV) C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install -e django/ django/ should either
be a path to a local project or a VCS url beginning with svn+, git+,
hg+, or bzr+
I am a Windows user. I think the command is for bash not for cmd.
Is it necessary to use this git tool to finally work with django ?
As instructed on the Django website :
If you're just starting out with Django development I'd recommend looking at some YouTube videos before jumping into the Django docs. Personally when I was starting out I found that the docs were quite hard to understand in the beginning, but as you get better you can refer back to them more and more.
Here's a good beginner video series to get you started.
In any case, I would recommend using virtualenvwrapper-win so that you can work on multiple Django projects without any conflicts.
First, ensure that you have added Python to the Windows environment. Open CMD and run pip install virtualenvwrapper-win.
Then cd to whichever directory your project files will be in and run mkvirtualenv projectname.
Finally run setprojectdir path/to/folder
Now whenever you want to enter that virtual environment and work on your project all you have to do is run the command workon projectname and it'll do the rest for you. You'll know it worked if on each new line in the command prompt it gives you (projectname) in brackets.
To actually install Django all you need to run is pip install django while in the virtual environment.
From your question, I suppose that you are trying to install django inside your virtual directory. If that is correct you dont need to get it from git.
Alternate way is to create a directory "main" and then project directory "mydjangoproject" inside it and a virtual environment "env".
C:\>mkdir main
C:\>cd main
C:\main>mkdir mydjangoproject
C:\main>virtualenv env
Now activate the virtual environment.
C:\main>env\Scripts\activate
Then install all the package in it. e.g
(env) C:\main>pip install django
New to Django, I am trying to view the website with its associated functionality generated by the project files here:
https://github.com/tomwalker/django_quiz
When I use the usual: manage.py runserver on the command prompt, it says that there is no manage.py file, and there isn't.
Worryingly, I followed the instructions for installation which suggested: Run pip install -r requirements.txt
...and my computer proceeded to de-install Django 2.0? What is that about, and can anyone explain how to restore settings if I messed them up completely.
The second part of the instructions for installation asks to change something in the INSTALLED_APPS and urls.py section, but where? There is nothing in the root directory and it doesn't specify which folder/app to do this in?
I don't quite understand how to "run" (see/view) these files and see this quiz app in process on my local host. What do I need to add? Why is the manage.py file not included?
Any explanation or something to point me in the right direction would be appreciated
The github project contains only Django apps. Not whole project. You need to integrate this in your Django project. You can run it by following below steps.
Create New Django Project
Clone github repo in your project. Run following commands in your project directory.
git clone https://github.com/tomwalker/django_quiz.git
mv django_quiz/* .
rm -rf django_quiz
Add essay, true_false, quiz, multichoice in your installed apps
Install requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt
Create Migrations
Run Migrations
Add url(r'^q/', include('quiz.urls')) in your project urls.
Run server with python manage.py runserver
Good day.
I'm a newbie to Django and I have a slight confusion:
When deploying my Django app, do I need to deploy it with all the Python 'come-with' modules, or the hosts already have them installed.
Also, I installed PIL for image manipulation. Would they also have it installed or i have to find a way to install it on their servers. Thanks in advance
do I need to deploy it with all the Python 'come-with' modules
Never do that. It might conflict with the dependencies on the server. Instead issue the following command to create a dependency file (requirements.txt).
pip freeze > requirements.txt (issue this command where manage.py is located)
On the server create a new virtual environment. Now copy django project to the server (you can do this using git clone or just plain old Filezilla). Activate virtual environment. Then change you current working directory to the where manage.py is located. to install all the dependencies issue the following command.
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install the required dependencies on on server.
beginner Django developer here.
I started a personale project with buildout and now I wanted to test some deploying, I decided to go with heroku, but I immediately noticed that heroku works with virtualenv and a requirements.txt file. My question is, is there a way to deploy a buildout project to heroku or convert said project to use virtualenv? If yes, how can I achieve this?
Thanks
Buildout and virtualenv can work just fine together.
Upload your buildout.cfg, your bootstrap.py and use the virtualenv python to run the bootstrap.py script.
Kenneth Reitz (of requests fame, and Heroku's Python guy) has created a buildpack that does just that.
So I downloaded the app with easy_install and it worked. I can import registration.
BUT the code installed doesn't match the source code for the project, as seen in github. For example, I'm missing the modules backends.urls and tests. I'm also missing key files like auth_urls. Without these modules, the registration app is failing on me.
Could this be related to my directory structure?
My Ubuntu distribution has placed all my python files in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/
as opposed to /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
Otherwise, I'm stumped here.
The easy_install version was really out of date last time I tried.
You'll need to either download the source and run python setup.py install from the extracted directory or checkout from the Git repo and run the same command.
I guess that easy_install installing 0.7 version. But in a github you can see 0.8 alpha
