Let me explain elaborately what problem I am facing.
1. I am using Windows environment and pycharm IDE for development of python project.
2. As part of development I am going to use several thrid party python packages say pexpect by installing through pip.
3. Once I am done with development I am going to use python project in Linux environment where I can't install any of these python packages.
So please suggest me way to export python project along with thrid party packages , so that without installing any of 3rd party packages I can run my project in Linux environment.
You have to use virtualenv when you are creating a python project with third party apps. virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. You can export this project and run in any other environment(Linux, Windows, OSX).
Documentation - Virtualenv
Video - Virtualenv Tutorial
You also need to create a requirement.txt file which will contain your all third party apps. Once you are in virtual environment, you could use the below code:
pip freeze > requirement.txt it will create a requirement.txt file.
For installing all the dependencies again, you need to use:
pip install -r requirement.txt

I have tried to create envelope on my linux pop os system using miniconda. When I activate it, I can install packages using pip, but when I run my django instance it doesn't find the modules.
If I type which python is shows the miniconda path correctly. I can look in the site-packages folder and see the packages installed.
I've tried installing django-anymail and corsheaders and they are both not being found. It does find my locally installed apps.
If I use the command line and open python and then import, it does not recognize my modules installed in the virtual envelope either. I thought it was a problem with conda, so I also created an envelope using python's native method: python3 -m venv
I have the same problem with it finding pip install site-packages.
Is there a command I can run to show all available packages?
I hadn't realized I had aliased my python. Now it is working.
I am new to programming and started working on Linux, now I want to switch to windows and open my project there, look at the tutorials, it is written to activate the virtual environment in the Settings / activate.bat folder. but in my project there is no such folder and such file with the extension .bat. what should I do?
Please download & Install interpreter from https://www.python.org/downloads/
(make sure you are using windows 10, because previous
version create problems)
Download pycharm professional addition (if you have university account) other wise go for community https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/
Click for Django project
Set the interpreter
Go to. manage.py task
Run command migrate
Enjoy
First thing get all the requirements like the library you installed through pip inside
a txt file by writing this command pip freeze > requirements.txt.
Get only the source folder where you made the project and app.
Create a folder.
Create an environment inside the folder. (virtualenv name_of_the_env)
Go inside the env you created and activate the Script. (.\Scripts\activate)
Copy the source folder inside the env and either you can install all the library
manually using pip or you can use requirement.txt that you have created to install the
library by writing this command pip install -r requirement.txt.
You need python and pip installed to work
I have a project in Python2.7 and want to port it to Python3.6.
I want to build some kind of dependency tree where I can see which package is available in Python3.6. But don't know why how to check it without trying to install it to Python3.6 environment.
For example: boto-rsync is not available for Python3.6, but redis do.
And I need some advice where to start.
Use pip freeze in your both python2 and python3 environments and redirect them to a text files to see what all packages are installed.
Example:
pip freeze >> python2.txt

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.
So I was installing an app in order to bootstrap my Django admin interface, and I thought this app was going to be Project specific but it appears to be installed on a global Django level.
http://riccardo.forina.me/bootstrap-your-django-admin-in-3-minutes/
https://github.com/riccardo-forina/django-admin-bootstrapped
My question is how can I uninstall it if I need to do so at a later date? I wanted my project to be as independent as possible. I was also wondering if there was a way of doing the installation within the project so that people that download my repository will automatically get it.
Also some minor questions are that after adding "add django_admin_bootstrapped into the INSTALLED_APPS list before django.contrib.admin" I was not required to run a syncdb command like we usually are when installing models. I guess this applications doesn't creates tables on my database so that is probably why, but I just wanted to know your thoughts.
I know it is a lot to answer but any clarification is appreciated. Thanks.
If you have installed the django app using pip do:
pip uninstall app_name
Or you have to go manually to your site-packages directory and remove it.
After that,
Remove the app from INSTALLED_APPS. django-admin-boostrapped might have overridden your templates. After you are done, do ./manage.py collectstatic and ./manage.py syncdb
If you're writing something that you want other people to use, and it relies on other packages (whether Django apps or more generic Python packages) it's standard to use pip. This makes it easy to install and uninstall packages, and specific versions of those packages. You can then create a requirements.txt file, which you include with your project. This lets other people know what packages are required, and they can easily install them using pip.
So, first off, install pip.
Then you would install django-admin-bootstrapped by doing:
$ pip install django-admin-bootstrapped
You can also install django using pip:
$ pip install django
If you then do this:
$ pip freeze > requirements.txt
you'll end up with a requirements.txt file that lists any packages you've installed with pip, and which version of each. Include that file with your project when you share it with others (on GitHub or wherever). Those people would then do this, to install the same packages:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
It would also be worth installing and using virtualenv – this lets you have separate environments for your python work, so that when you pip install something it's only available in that environment. Then you can have different versions of packages (eg, different versions of Django) in each environment. Virtualenvwrapper also makes some of the common virtualenv tasks a little easier.
It's a lot to get to grips with at first, as I know from experience, but it's worth doing so and will make development easier in the long term.
As to your other question, it looks like django-admin-bootstrapped doesn't have any models, so it doesn't require any updating of the database after installation.
