Django admin dynamic Inline positioning

Reading time 5 min
Views 11K

Recently I've received an interesting request from a client about one of our Django projects.
He asked if it would be possible to show an inline component above other fields in the Django admin panel.

At the beginning I thought, that there shouldn't be any issue with that.
Though there was no easy solution other then installing another battery to the project. My gut feeling told me, there were another way around that problem.

A website with bugs could be a real pain in the neck for business. Just one 404 or 500 error could end up costing an obscene amount of money for the company and hurt a good reputation. But there is a way to avoid this issue: the website testing. That's sort of what this article is about. After reading this article, you will learn how to test code in Django, create your "own website tester" and much more. Welcome to the article.

Tutorial. Deploying Django project to Heroku and storing static content on AWS S3: basic scenario from start to finish

Reading time 12 min
Views 8.3K

This tutorial is aimed to help Django beginners who want to run a project on Heroku while storing static files on AWS S3. While being a major help for web developers, both services can be hard for beginners to set up correctly. I’ll admit these topics can be found covered separately elsewhere, but there are also some unaccountable nuances if you are trying to make both work in a single project.

Personally I couldn’t find a source which would not only cover Heroku deployment or S3 usage, but would address those nuances as well. Reading the manuals trying to figure out what do you have to do to deploy a project correctly might be an important part of learning, but it can also make you lose focus on what you are currently trying to study or, even worse, discourage you altogether. If this is your story, look no further. I hope instructions below will help you to deploy your project in a single track without having to consult with other resources.

The text is broken down into 3 logically distinct chapters: prerequisites for local Django app (a mini-chapter), integrating  AWS S3 into your app for storing static files, and finally deploying to Heroku. You might not want to go through the entire process in one sitting. In the beginning of each chapter an approximate time required to complete chapter’s instructions will be noted so it is possible for the reader to plan ahead. I would advise not to break down a single chapter into multiple sittings, but if it is not possible, at least try to complete all work covered by a single sub-chapter section in a single go.

Links to official documentation will be provided in text in case you might need extra details on particular actions.

Text highlighted in yellow needs to be replaced in accordance with your settings/paths/accounts.

Python-Celery in Windows with Docker managing

Reading time 2 min
Views 4.7K
To 'adequately' debug Celery under Windows, there are several ways such as:

> celery worker --app=demo_app.core --pool=solo --loglevel=INFO

But in fact for normal development, you need a Unix system. If you do not have the opportunity to use it as a native, then it is worth considering...) Well, to be honest, there is always a way out and this is Docker and WSL. If you use such “cool” IDEs like PyCharm, then everything becomes more complicated, because using the WSL interpreter, installing the package with pip, you will have to manually update the project skeleton due to indexing problems.

Typechecking Django and DRF

Reading time 5 min
Views 8.5K

As you have already know I love optional static typing. The thing is that sometimes it is not optional, but impossible. Because we have plenty of big untyped projects in Python's ecosystem.


Django and Django-Rest-Framework were two of them. Were. Because now they can be typed! Let me introduce TypedDjango organisation and stubs for django and drf.


This is going to be a concise tutorial and getting started guide.
