We have set up pathagar (1) (a django application) but are getting some errors having to do with permissions and haven't been able to sort out exactly why. Currently we have separate users: 'path' for the django files, and apache2 is running as 'www-data'. We have added user www-data to the path group and user path to the www-data group (and have set all group permissions to the same as the owner permissions) but are still getting permission errors when running one of the command line utilities. The same command works fine if run as root. Should all the django framework files be owned by the apache run user? Any advice would be appreciated. alex 1.

The > same command works fine if run as root. The best practice, in my opinion, is to have the web server run the Django code as a chosen uesr ID (in your case, 'path'). This is fairly easy to do with e.g. mod_wsgi in daemon mode, the recommended way to run it. Then make sure the Django app's data paths (STATIC_FILES etc.) are owned by that user ID. Note that the Django "framework" (the .py files AKA Python modules that make it possible to run 'import django' from Python) do not need to be owned by anyone in particular. Make sure the runtime paths where your Django app will be writing data are owned by the app's user ID. Hope that helps! P.S. Hi Alex, nice to see you here!

Truth in advertising: I'll be more or less presenting the same talk I gave at PyCon 2012, in case you already saw it and would rather not get a repeat. Obviously we can have a discussion on any and all aspects of IPython, but the 'official' talk (~30 minutes) will be the same material I presented already. Sorry if this disappoints you, but I've had a mad month of talks and I don't have the time right now to write a new one from scratch.

Message-ID: nope, couldn't make it due to logistics. hopefully i can make it to next month's meeting where i'd be glad sign it for whomever wins the drawing. it would be great to get some feedback on the book as well, to help improve it for the next edition. --wesley On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 5:18 PM, wesley chun wrote: > i'd *love* to come, but i have babysitting duties tonight (already on > the calendar before this month's announcement), unless i bring the > kids... maybe i'll just swing by with them for the first part, then > take off when they're "bore" or when the batteries on my phones run > out. :P > > cheers, > --wesley > > > On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 2:48 PM, Tony Cappellini wrote: >> >> This shouldn't be news to anyone, ... >> >> Our meeting which is regularly scheduled for the fourth Thursday has been >> rescheduled to tonight, April 19th. >> This is a one-time change. >> >> Our main presenter is Fernando Perez: IPython: Python at your fingertips >> Fernando will essentially be repeating his presentation from Pycon 2012. >> If you were unable to see his presentation then, you have another chance >> tonight. >> >> We do not have any newbie nugget presenters for tonight. >> If you have a slide or two ready and want to squeeze in a nugget at the last >> minute, >> please bring your material tonight. >> >> For directions, and meeting info, the Baypiggies webpage is at >> http://www.baypiggies.net/ >> >> I have one copy of >> http://www.amazon.com/Python-Applications-Programming-Edition-Series/dp/0132678209 >> to raffle off. >> >> If Wesley will be at the meeting tonight, the lucky winner can have the book >> autographed by him. >> >> See you tonight! > > > -- > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > "A computer never does what you want... only what you tell it." > ? ? wesley chun : wescpy at gmail?: @wescpy/+wescpy > ? ?

But may be in the 3rd world or in poor countries where people don't own a laptop it can make a difference, although I don't really know much about the topic.

As I tend to use my personal laptop at home, take the BART to work (with my iPad), and use a different machine at work. It would be awesome to just crack open some Python code in a web-browser, write a few functions and have them go live on the site all without using any other tools. The whole "just write code" deal without any configuration has tremendous appeal for me. I'd argue that this is also great for someone like me who has limited time for recreational programming and would like to just cut out all the configuration stuff to maximize coding time and be able to quickly do some coding tasks from any machine. I actually haven't heard of this so I will definitely have to try it out.
