I'm in the early phases of designing and implementing a python web project that i want to be able to easily distribute.
Coming from a primary PHP and Perl world i know how i would do the project in those lanuages but I am trying to find the best method for python.
Not sure if it matters, but I'm thinking of using django as the web framework, but still exploring other frameworks.
What i'm looking for is best practices to be able to bundle my application and have users just install it using pip.
Would i be able to package the wen application like that even if it using django or is that not the way its normally done? Would they instead just download the code and set it up like it was any other tar ball of code?
I tried searching around for this but i find mostly information on people deploying there own projects.
Thanks
Dan
The answer depends of the size of your project.
If it's a plugin that could be integrated to any web site, so probally just an app in the project, it's quite easy check the page of the django's doc
If it's a full websitethen it's a little bit more complicated, since a django project depends on multiple settings that could differ from one system to an other I usually see the project being installed from a tar ball.
I've seen packages like django-admintools bundle multiple apps in one package, but the user still need to create a basic django project.
From what I know a full project cannot be install only by PIP.. the user always need to setup settings and the webserver (apache or nginx).
I hope this helped you.

I have written a python script that will connect to the oracle database using cx_oracle and gets data and performs some action on it.
I want to expose this python script as a Restful API. In google, I read that using flask we can deploy a Python script as a Web service.
What I am not clear
The flask itself behaves like a server?
Can I deploy the python Webservice in the Web logic server?
I want to deploy this Webservice in production. How can I provide security to this?
In another site, I read using Connection, Swagger we can implement it.
I am actually written using flask, flask-jsonpify, flask-sqlalchemy, flask-restful.
Please suggest which packages i need to use to deploy it as WebService.
Let me know in case of any other details needed. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and guidance.

Not unless you are using Jython as WebLogic runs Java applications

Sounds like you've done some research into what packages you need. Maybe find more to get swagger and security figured out
Please suggest which packages i need to use to deploy it as WebService.
Refer point 1. flask is all you need to run the web server

This is a beginner question. I post this here because I'm so lost that I realized I even don't know what to look for.
I'm a C++ developper and have a developed C++ app. On the other hand, I recently dug into web development and created a website using the Django framework, which I host on Heroku.
The flow of the website: a user enters input on the website, input files are uploaded to AWS S3 (I managed to get that working).
The part I'm lost: with the user input, I'd like to run the C++ app which I host on a Linux server (Codenvy). But I have no idea how to launch that application from the Django site which is served by Heroku. At least giving some keywords to enhance my web searches?
It sounds like what you need is to run a script on another server using python?
I'd suggest taking a look at Paramiko:
https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/
It is a package to allow you to ssh into another machine and execute commands.

I have developed a django app in django 1.7 version with python 2.7 and want to deploy it in python anywhere with free version, but python anywhere does not support it-
But it only supports django 1.3 with python 2.7. So what changes i have to make to run my code in it with django 1.3.
Else if anybody is having any other option for django(1.7) app deployment plz suggest me.
Also i have deployed my django app(1.7) with 3rd option selected(python 2.7, django 1.7) then the output is - link to my deployed app
PythonAnywhere dev here- you can actually install the version of Django that you want using a virtualenv!
The commands to run from bash are just
mkvirtualenv Django17
pip install django==1.7
And then making sure that you set your virtualenv path correctly in your webapps tab! (in this case your path would be /home/your-user-name/.virtualenvs/Django17/)
ie. You would have to set the virtualenv path as shown in the picture above
ps: on an unrelated issue to 1.7 vs 1.3, the reason that you are seeing the Django welcome page of the hello world/congrats on your first webapp variety is because that is the sample webapp that we have made for you.
You would need to correctly set up the paths to point to your source-code for your actual website to be displayed.
It is possible to install any version of Django in Pythonanywhere.
There is a link in Pythonanywhere wiki that provides detailed instructions to do it: Wiki
You can user Heroku, it works with that django you want or python or mostly anything you want, it has a free plan and you can make how many apps you want.
For your question ... to downgrade from django 1.7 to 1.3 ... there are too many thins to consider and we don't know what do you do on your project.
Or another option is Docker, i experimented with this.
You can even user Amazon , if you make an account you can get 12 months free trial, 750 hours / month for free with one machine.
The answer to your question is: You should follow the excellent release notes, but reverse them.
Each release note will tell you what’s new in each version, and will also describe any backwards-incompatible changes made in that version.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/releases/
But it is probably better find an alternative to pythonanywhere.

I am trying to develop my first GAE app with Python on Eclipse, from this tutorial I am sent here I do the instal. When I go into Eclipse, new -> project -> PyDev -> PyDev Google App Engine Program, I name it and then in the next window it asks for the Google App Engine Directory, so I choose
/Applications/eclipse/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.7.1.
and it tells me "Invalid Google App Engine directory. Did not find: appcfg.py in
/Applications/eclipse/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.7.1"
and When I dive into that directory, which should have what I need I see appengine-java-sdk-1.7.7.1 and no python.
In addition when I use the blue google circle in the toolbar to create an app it creates it with only java files.
In further addition I've seen in questions like this one people suggest looking for
/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/ GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine/
only I apparently don't have that anywwhere on my computer, even though I do have the GAE launcher installed.
Long story short, how do I get the GAE python sdk for eclipse?
First of all, the google plugin is only for Java so it is useless for Python development... Yes I know it is sad, I was disapointed as well.
Then the second link you gave is wrong and I don't know where you got it but if you go on your first link, section 3. Google App Engine SDK Python, you will go here, which is the good link. For Linux, you end up with a zip file that you simply need to extract and you will find the appcfg.py file in it.
The fisrt link you gave is the one I followed and is very well explain. Keep looking.

I'm working as a system administrator/infrastructure engineer, and sometimes I am wasting my time on checking if everything working properly after infrastructure changes. I want to write some tests, such as:
Download some CSS/JavaScript code from a website
Login to website
Upload some file and try to download it
Login to a server and execute some script
And so on.
Most unit testing frameworks focused on unit testing and code coverage, but all I need is just a configurable runner for my tests with nice reporting and may be additional modules for ease of writing HTTP tests. Possibility to use this tool for stress-testing would be an advantage.
I've found many names (testoob, functest, robotframework, py.test, etc.), but I don't know what to choose.
Robot Framework has many nice libraries that would definitely help you - so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. For example, Robot Framework integrates with the Selenium web testing tool.
I think that from the tools that you mentioned Robot Framework is the most active project - py.test seems to be active also.
One thing that you should notice is that Robot tests are not written in Python directly, but they use a simple text based syntax. You can of course access Robots libraries from Python code if you want to or create your own robot library in Python code.
[DISCLAIMER: I am a member of the team that is developing Robot Framework]
I develop an open-source framework (part of Pycopia) that does exactly this. It's not complete yet (still working on the web UI), but it's usable to run real tests and get emailed reports. You write tests in Python, but it also manages test cases, test results, and equipment inventory.
