In my application, I have a dictionary of phrases that are used throughout of the application. This same dictionary is used to create PDFs and Excel Spreadsheets.
The dictionary looks like so:
GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB = {
'fiscal_year': _('Fiscal Year'),
'region': _('Region / Focal Area'),
'prepared_by': _('Preparer Name'),
'review_cycle':_('Review Period'),
... snip ...
}
In the code to produce the PDF, I have:
fy = dashboard_v.fiscal_year
fy_label = GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB['fiscal_year']
rg = dashboard_v.dashboard.region
rg_label = GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB['region']
rc = dashboard_v.review_cycle
rc_label = GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB['review_cycle']
pb = dashboard_v.prepared_by
pb_label = GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB['prepared_by']
Now, when the PDF is produced, in the PDF, I don't see these labels but rather, I see:
<django.utils.functional.__proxy__ object at 0x10106fdd0>
Can somebody help me with this? How do I get the properly translated labels?
Thanks

"Lazy translation"
The result of a ugettext_lazy() call can be used wherever you would use a unicode string (an object with type unicode) in Python. If you try to use it where a bytestring (a str object) is expected, things will not work as expected, since a ugettext_lazy() object doesn't know how to convert itself to a bytestring. You can't use a unicode string inside a bytestring, either, so this is consistent with normal Python behavior.
...
If you ever see output that looks like "hello <django.utils.functional...>", you have tried to insert the result of ugettext_lazy() into a bytestring. That's a bug in your code.
Either pass it to unicode() to get the unicode from it, or don't use lazy translation.

I'm using a website that requires that their API key AND query data be submitted using Webform.Post method. I'm able to get this to work in Python, C# and I'm even able to construct and execute a cURL command which returns a usable JSON file that Excel can parse. I am also using Postman to validate my parameters and everything looks good using all these methods. However, my goal is to build a query form that I can use within Excel but I can't get past this query syntax in PowerBi Query.
For now I am doing a simple query. That query looks like this:
let
url_1 = "https://api.[SomeWebSite].com/api/v1.0/search/keyword?apiKey=blah-blah-blah",
Body_1 = {
"SearchByKeywordRequest:
{
""keyword"": ""Hex Nuts"",
""records"": 0,
""startingRecord"": 0,
""searchOptions"": Null.Type,
""searchWithYourSignUpLanguage"": Null.Type
}"
},
Source = WebMethod.Post(url_1,Body_1)
in
Source
ScreenSnip showing valid syntax
It generates the following error:
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value "POST" to type Function.
Details:
Value=POST
Type=[Type]
ScreenSnip of Error as it appears in PowerQuery Advanced Editor
I've spend the better part of the last two days trying to find either some example using this method or documentation. The Microsoft documentation simple states the follow:
WebMethod.Post
04/15/2018
2 minutes to read
About
Specifies the POST method for HTTP.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/webmethod-post
This is of no help and the only posts I have found so far criticize the poster for not using GET versus POST. I would do this but it is NOT supported by the website I'm using. If someone could just please either point me to a document which explains what I am doing wrong or suggest a solution, I would be grateful.
WebMethod.Post is not a function. It is a constant text value "POST". You can send POST request with either Web.Contents or WebAction.Request function.
A simple example that posts JSON and receives JSON:
let
url = "https://example.com/api/v1.0/some-resource-path",
headers = [#"Content-Type" = "application/json"],
body = Json.FromValue([Foo = 123]),
source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url, [Headers = headers, Content = body])),
...
Added Nov 14, 19
Request body needs to be a binary type, and included as Content field of the second parameter of Web.Contents function.
You can construct a binary JSON value using Json.FromValue function. Conversely, you can convert a binary JSON value to a corresponding M type using Json.Document function.
Note {} is list type in M language, which is similar to JSON array. [] is record type, which is similar to JSON object.
With that said, your query should be something like this,
let
url_1 = "https://api.[SomeWebSite].com/api/v1.0/search/keyword?apiKey=blah-blah-blah",
Body_1 = Json.FromValue([
SearchByKeywordRequest = [
keyword = "Hex Nuts",
records = 0,
startingRecord = 0,
searchOptions = null,
searchWithYourSignUpLanguage = null
]
]),
headers = [#"Content-Type" = "application/json"],
source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url_1, [Headers = headers, Content = Body_1])),
...

EDIT #2:
{'sql': 'SELECT "strains_terpene"."id", "strains_terpene"."name",
"strains_terpene"."short_desc", "strains_terpene"."long_desc",
"strains_terpene"."aroma", "strains_terpene"."flavor",
"strains_terpene"."effects" FROM "strains_terpene" WHERE
"strains_terpene"."name" = \'\xce±-Humulene\'', 'time': '0.000'}
Upon closer look it appears that django may be properly escaping the single quotes in the end. Had to take a different angle to see this by using this:
from django.db import connections
connections['default'].queries
So now the question remains, why even though python3, django, and postgres are all set to utf-8 is the unicode being encoded to local in the query?
Original Question:
Here is the runtime error:
strains.models.DoesNotExist: Terpene matching query does not exist.
Here is the str(Terpene.objects.filter(name='β-Caryophyllene').query):
SELECT "strains_terpene"."id", "strains_terpene"."name", "strains_terpene"."short_desc", "strains_terpene"."long_desc", "strains_terpene"."aroma", "strains_terpene"."flavor", "strains_terpene"."effects"
FROM "strains_terpene"
WHERE "strains_terpene"."name" = ß-Caryophyllene
Here is how postgres likes to see the query for it to work:
select * from strains_terpene where name = 'β-Caryophyllene'
Am i missing something here? Why is Django not wrapping my condition in single quotes?
PostgresDB is encoded with utf-8
Python 3 strings are unicode
EDIT:
I notice the query attribute is also converting the β to ß...
I thought this could be a conversion issue considering im using windows cmd for the python shell.
So i did a:
with open('log2.txt','w',encoding='utf-8') as f:
print(Terpene.objects.filter(name='β-Caryophyllene').query, file=f)
And here are the results even when output directly to utf-8 plain text.
SELECT "strains_terpene"."id", "strains_terpene"."name", "strains_terpene"."short_desc", "strains_terpene"."long_desc", "strains_terpene"."aroma", "strains_terpene"."flavor", "strains_terpene"."effects"
FROM "strains_terpene"
WHERE "strains_terpene"."name" = ß-Caryophyllene
So now I am confused on 2 fronts. Why does django choose to ommit the single quotes for the where condition and why is the lowercase beta being converted to an uppercase?
EXTRA INFO:
Here is the section of actual code.
Importing mass results via CSV.
The results dict stores the mapping between columns and Terpene Names
The first log.txt is for verifying the contents of results
The second log1.txt is to verify the key before using it as the lookup condition
The finally log2.txt verifies sql being sent to the database
First the Code Snippet:
results = {
u'α-Pinene': row[7],
u'β-Pinene': row[8],
u'Terpinolene': row[9],
u'Geraniol': row[10],
u'α-Terpinene': row[11],
u'γ-Terpinene': row[12],
u'Camphene': row[13],
u'Linalool': row[14],
u'd-Limonene': row[15],
u'Citral': row[16],
u'Myrcene': row[17],
u'α-Terpineol': row[18],
u'Citronellol': row[19],
u'dl-Menthol': row[20],
u'1-Borneol': row[21],
u'2-Piperidone': row[22],
u'β-Caryophyllene': row[23],
u'α-Humulene': row[24],
u'Caryophyllene Oxide': row[25],
}
with open("log.txt", "w") as text_file:
print(results.keys(), file=text_file)
for r, v in results.items():
if '<' not in v:
value = float(v.replace("%", ""))
with open("log1.txt", "w") as text2:
print(r, file=text2)
with open("log2.txt", "w", encoding="utf-8") as text3:
print(Terpene.objects.filter(name=r).query, file=text3)
TerpeneResult.objects.create(
terpene=Terpene.objects.get(name=r),
qa_sample=sample,
result=value,
)
And log.txt -- results.keys():
dict_keys(['dl-Menthol', 'Geraniol', 'Camphene', '1-Borneol', 'Linalool',
'α-Humulene', 'Caryophyllene Oxide', 'β-Caryophyllene', 'Citronellol',
'α-Pinene', '2-Piperidone', 'β-Pinene', 'd-Limonene', 'γ-Terpinene',
'Terpinolene', 'α-Terpineol', 'Myrcene', 'α-Terpinene', 'Citral'])
log1.txt -- α-Humulene
Lastly the sql being generated -- log2.txt:
SELECT "strains_terpene"."id", "strains_terpene"."name", "strains_terpene"."short_desc", "strains_terpene"."long_desc", "strains_terpene"."aroma", "strains_terpene"."flavor", "strains_terpene"."effects"
FROM "strains_terpene"
WHERE "strains_terpene"."name" = α-Humulene
Note the unicode being lost at the last moment when the sql is generated.
I'm pretty much new to MAPI and haven't wrote much C++ Code.
Basically I want to read all emails in the inbox and filter them based on their subject text. So far I'm using the source code provided at the microsoft msdn website which basically reads all emails from the inbox. What I want now is to not get all emails but filter them on the subject, lets say: I want all emails in my Inbox with the subject title "test".
So far I figuered out that the following line of code retrieves all the mails:
hRes = HrQueryAllRows(lpContentsTable, (LPSPropTagArray) &sptCols, &sres, NULL, 0, &pRows);
The parameter &sres is from the type SRestriction.
I tried to implement a filter on 'test' in the subject:
sres.rt = RES_CONTENT;
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_FULLSTRING;
sres.res.resContent.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
sres.res.resContent.lpProp = &SvcProps;
SvcProps.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
SvcProps.Value.lpszA = "test";
ScvProps is from the type SPropValue.
If i execute the application then I get 0 lines returned. If I change the String test to an empty String then I get all emails.
I'm assuming i'm using the "filter" option wrong, any ideas?
Edit: When I change the FuzzyLevel to:
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_SUBSTRING;
then I can look for subjects that contain a single character but as soon as I add a second character I get 0 rows as result. I'm pretty sure this is just some c++ stuff that I don't understand that causes all this problems ...
I figured the problem out.
Replacing
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_FULLSTRING;
sres.res.resContent.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
SvcProps.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
with
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_SUBSTRING;
sres.res.resContent.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT_A;
SvcProps.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT_A;
fixed the problem.
I am using CFML and Twitter4j to return timelines and lists.
I want to return the data from a call to lookupUsers(java.lang.String[] screenNames)
via Twitter4j.
I have tried the :-
strList = createObject("java", "java.util.ArrayList");
strList.add(strOriginUser);
originUser = t4j.lookupUsers(strList);
And :-
strUserString = JavaCast("String", strOriginUser);
originUser = t4j.lookupUsers(strUserString);
I know the t4j Object is working as I already use it to get timelines etc but here it is for completeness :-
public function init_twitter() {
//CONFIGURE twitter4j
configBuilder = createObject("java", "twitter4j.conf.ConfigurationBuilder");
configBuilder.setOAuthConsumerKey(#application.twitter_consumer_key#);
configBuilder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(#application.twitter_consumer_secret#);
configBuilder.setOAuthAccessToken(#application.twitter_access_token#);
configBuilder.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(#application.twitter_access_token_secret#);
configBuilder.setIncludeEntitiesEnabled(true);
configBuilder.setJSONStoreEnabled(true);
config = configBuilder.build();
twitterFactory = createObject("java", "twitter4j.TwitterFactory").init(config);
variables.t4j = twitterFactory.getInstance();
return this;
}
The twitter4j documentations is:-
ResponseList<User> lookupUsers(java.lang.String[] screenNames) throws TwitterException
Return up to 100 users worth of extended information, specified by either ID, screen name, or combination of the two. The author's most recent status (if the authenticating user has permission) will be returned inline.
This method calls http://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json
Parameters:
screenNames - Specifies the screen names of the users to return.
Returns:
users
It looks like you are trying to pass an ArrayList object into lookupUsers but that method only accepts String[] (an array of Strings) as an argument. So unless CFML does the conversion, I don't think it's going to work.
From a cursory glance at the ColdFusion docs, it looks like CFML can implicitly convert a CFML Array to a Java array, so perhaps the following would work:
screenNames = arrayNew(1);
screenNames[1] = 'Fry';
originUser = t4j.lookupUsers(screenNames);
Alternatively, if you want to keep on using a list there is an ArrayList#toArray(T[]) which could be useful, although I can't say how useful that would be in the CFML.
N.B. Please excuse my CFML code snippet.
I'm storing the page content in a database table. The page content also includes some CF variables (for example "...this vendor provides services to #VARIABLES.vendorLocale#").
VARIABLES.vendorLocal is set on the page based on a URL string.
Next a CFC is accessed to get the corresponding page text from the database.
And this is then output on the page: #qryPageContent.c_content#
But #VARIABLES.vendorLocale# is showing up as is, not as the actual variable. Is there anyway to get a "variable within a variable" to be output correctly?
This is on a CF9 server.
If you have a string i.e.
variables.vendorLocal = 'foo';
variables.saveMe = 'This is a string for supplier "#variables.vendorLocal#'"' ;
WriteOutput(variables.saveMe); // This is a string for locale "foo"
then coldfusion will attempt to parse that to insert whatever variable variables.vendorLocale is. To get around this, you can use a placeholder string that is not likely to be used elsewhere. Commonly you'll see [[NAME]] used for this purpose, so in this example
variables.saveMe = 'This is a string for supplier "[[VENDORLOCALE]]'"' ;
WriteOutput(variables.saveMe); // This is a string for supplier "[[VENDORLOCALE]]"
Now you've got that you can then later on replace it for your value
variables.vendorLocal = 'bar';
variables.loadedString = Replace(variables.saveMe,'[[VENDORLOCALE]]',variables.vendorLocal);
WriteOutput(variables.loadedString); // This is a string for locale "bar"
I hope this is of help
There are lots of reasons storing code itself in the database is a bad idea, but that's not your question, so I won't go into that. One way to accomplish what you want is to take the code you have stored as as string, write a temporary file, include that file in the page, then delete that temporary file. For instance, here's a little UDF that implements that concept:
<cfscript>
function dynamicInclude(cfmlcode){
var pathToInclude = createUUID() & ".cfm";
var pathToWrite = expandPath(pathToInclude);
fileWrite(pathToWrite,arguments.cfmlcode);
include pathToInclude;
fileDelete(pathToWrite);
}
language = "CFML";
somecfml = "This has some <b>#language#</b> in it";
writeOutput(dynamicInclude(somecfml));
</cfscript>
