You're getting '405 method not allowed' because the POST is going to the same url that served up the page, but the handler for that path (MainPage) does not have a post method. That's the same diagnosis that you were given when you asked this question two hours earlier under a different user id. Stepping back further t...

I assume you use Django >= 1.4. When you create a Django project using this Django version, by default it creates a folder with manage.py and inside it a subfolder with settings.py. What you should do is to use the folder with manage.py as the root for your PyCharm project and Mercurial repo. This way all your applicat...

The general consensus is, thick models and helpers, thin views. In other words, your views should be as simple as possible; your models as rich as possible, and plenty of helper code for the outlying bits. Also keep in mind that if you override the model methods, you are offering a sort of "guarantee" that no matter ho...

Given the relatively low volume of data you need, I would say the easiest way would be to use a TCP socket to communicate between the two processes. The data speed on the loopback interface is more than enough for your needs.

Do you need an HTTP load balancer? Using a layer 4 balancer might just as well solve your problem, because it does not interfere with higher protocol levels.

Are you depending on the garbage collector to close your files? I.E. the handle goes out of scope and even though you've "closed" the file, it won't go away until GC runs. If the object chain never goes out of scope, GC cannot collect it. Also, if GC does not get an opportunity to run, they won't be collected either. I...

No, there should not be any compatibility issues. web2py is primarily a server-side framework, and D3 is all client-side. They are completely independent. web2py does provide some client-side scaffolding, but it is optional and won't interfere with D3 anyway.

A hash would be the most trustable source of change detection. I would use CRC32. It's only 32 bits as opposed to 128bits for md5. Also, even in browser Javascript it can be very fast. I have personal experience in improving the speed for a JS implementation of CRC32 for very large datasets.

But PHP and Ruby and Python and Java all have to run through an interpreter every time they're accessed and it interpretation will be less fast. Is that true?

java,php,javascript,python,ruby
Java is compiled to bytecode, and then (usually) compiled to machine code using a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. Java servers don't launch a new process for every request (most just launch a new thread), so the cost of the JIT compile is amortized across the entire lifetime of your server. In practice, this means that...

JavaScript on the server can be interpreted to mashine code using Google's V8 Javascript Engine. But PHP and Ruby and Python and Java all have to run through an interpreter every time they're accessed and it interpretation will be less fast. Is that true? I read this in an article about Google's V8 Javascript Engine.

Scrapy is still an option. Speed/performance/efficiency Scrapy is written with Twisted, a popular event-driven networking framework for Python. Thus, it’s implemented using a non-blocking (aka asynchronous) code for concurrency. Database pipelining You mentioned that you want your data to be pipelined into the d...

I have a >100,000 urls (different domains) in a list that I want to download and save in a database for further processing and tinkering. Would it be wise to use scrapy instead of python's multiprocessing / multithreading? If yes, how do I write a standalone script to do the same? Also, feel free to suggest other aweso...

There appears to be issues with the dev version of jinja2 that you are installing as they reimplement the python 3 port using a single codebase. I'd suggest going back to a previous release that is using 2to3.

It's possible to disable garbage collection for good by changing the source code of V8. In V8's source, edit src/heap.cc, and put a return statement in the beginning of Heap::CollectGarbage. Other than that, it's not possible (AFAICT): V8 will always invoke garbage collection when it's about to run out of memory. There...

I'm having an issue which seems to be related with the way Python & PyV8's garbage collection interact. I've temporarily solved the issue by disabling python's garbage collection, and calling gc.collect and PyV8.JSEngine.collect together every few seconds when no JavaScript is being run. However, this seems like a pret...

I would do this in middleware. Have an attribute in the profile, or the session, which records the date the user was last seen, and in the middleware check if it is < today: if so, award the points and update the field.

In our project we give the users points for every day they visit the site. The issue is that the user doesn't always log in in an explicit way (e.g. submitting login form), but often when he comes back he's logged in thanks to the cookie session id set by Django and we can't recognize his login in any way. How can I ch...

Have you looked in to SQLAlchemy at all? It takes care of a lot of the dirty details - it maintains a pool of connections, and reuses/closes them as necessary.

I've been writing a Python web app (in Flask) for a while now, and I don't believe I fully grasp how database access should work across multiple request/response cycles. Prior to Python my web programming experience was in PHP (several years worth) and I'm afraid that my PHP experience is misleading some of my Python w...

You can do everything web with Django just like with any other webframework/weblibrary. Probably the easiest way would be to have a user-profile, and as soon as the payment has been working out you add this video to the users "allowed" list. This makes it quite easy to show the users available videos. The redirection t...

Is it possible to implement this in django: In a video site, for every video a user want to watch he/she must pay a fee before watching the video. If it's possible, what's the best way to implement this. And after every successful payment, how can the user be redirected back to the particular video he paid for?

I believe this is possible. What you can do is have a check on your video page for a certain receipt that you can add as an entry in the UserProfile model that you'll have for your django website. Now this receipt will only be generated when your user goes through the complete payment path which you can handle by scr...

Each new class implies a new query, which adds to the total cost. Pack as much information that is practical into the User class. A simple boolean in the User class should work for active/inactive or subscribe/unsubscribe. Your app needs to accept emails to receive the Unsubscribe request and set the associated bool...

Expose a Restful API on the chat server. Then your Django web application can easily make API calls to modify state in the chat server. Doing anything else is more complicated and most likely unnecessary.

I am building a chat application that consists of a Django web backend with a Node.js/socket.io powered chat server. There will be instances when changes made via the web interface (e.g. banning a user) need to be pushed immediately to the chat server. I can think of the following options: Use a Python-based socket.io...
