Hi, I was wondering if anyone has looked into porting the Django Girls tutorial to glitch.com ? they support sqllite and python, integrate with github, support team development, we are thinking this might be an ideal platform to simplify some aspects of the tutorial we found to be a bit fiddly
can't I use latest version of django in python 3.6?
also, i was following tutorial and i opened my first server and the page said the debug mode is true. so i changed it to false but after that it keeps saying the request resource is not found
how can i solve it?
@choi-seung-min According to the official django homepage (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/), Django 3.0.2 should be compatible with python 3.6, though they recommend using 3.8. I'm not sure about what the error you get in Pycharm is about. If you're comfortable with using the command line/terminal, then maybe you could try creating and running a django project without PyCharm? I've had trouble with PyCharm sometimes (probably because I don't understand it well enough), things like interpreter and virtual environment settings that lead to unexpected behavior.
About the debug mode: Just turn debug mode on again (DEBUG = True) in settings.py. It's best to leave debug mode on unless the tutorial says otherwise. Debug mode is great during production, it's only if you would make a live site that other people are to visit that you'll have to make sure it's off.
now i'm following tutorial with django 2.0.13 and python 3.6.8 with python and like you said i will let debug mode True until tutorial say change it
I'm so glad I found this site/tutorials, I am really struggling with Django (as many tutorials have versions issues) but hopefully I will manage to get through it from here. There is just one issue, whenever I am trying to push my files, I am getting this error
I will be grateful if anyone can help
If you want to keep all changes and combine them, run
git pullfirst.
No, wait, sorry.
I just had a look at https://github.com/ankitkpandey1/my-first-blog and the one change it contains is the addition of the
README.md file. This change doesn't share any history with your local changes, so git pull wouldn't work.
Try with
git push --force-with-lease -u origin master
I have even deleted readme file and still getting same error. Maybe I should start all over again and make new repo
When creating a new Repo, make sure "initialize with a README" is unchecked. See https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/deploy/#pushing-your-code-to-github
Thanks
By the way after finishing till Django form tutorials, I am getting this error
I am pretty sure views is imported
this one mysite/urls.py...
urls.py in mysite doesn't use views directly...maybe its because it is importing blog.urls which has some problems?
this is full error
_init.py in mysite is empty and still it's getting dragged in this whole ordeal for some reason
Hi!
I can't run my app on pythonanywhere.com (local app runs and works fine)

https://github.com/sergeichukes/first-blog/blob/master/mysite/settings.py
sergeichukes: What the error is saying is that for some reason, the BASE_DIR variable isn't defined. But the error is happening in a weird location, it seems to say that the error stems from "/home/sergeichukes/sergeichukes.pythonanywhere.com/myenv/Lib/site-packages/isort/settings.py". That seems to be an internal settings file for venv/virtual environment functionality. So that "settings.py" file should have nothing to do with your Django project's "settings.py" (the one in the "mysite" folder). Maybe I don't understand what's happening because I don't know how venv actually works. Anyway, I tried to replicate your error but I wasn't able to. I went to PythonAnywhere and 1. created an API token 2. started a new bash console 3. ran "pip3.7 install --user pythonanywhere" 4. ran "pa_autoconfigure_django.py --python=3.7 https://github.com/sergeichukes/first-blog.git". Everything seems to be working as it should, you can see the site at: http://arboc.eu.pythonanywhere.com/
@sergeichukes I see now that the Django Girls tutorial specifies using python 3.6, whereas I specified python 3.7 in my commands, but I don't think that should make a difference, unless maybe you used 3.7 locally? Also: when uploading on a public github repo, you should omit or modify the SECRET_KEY variable in mysite/settings.py (line 23). Sharing the secret key harms your site's security (I don't know exactly why, but everyone makes this very clear). If you really want to keep the same secret key for some reason, you can set your github repo to be private when creating it.
is this activated?
