Is it possible to run Python & Django on IIS? I am going to be a Lead Developer in some web design company and right now they are using classic ASP and ASP.NET.
As far as I can see ASP.NET MVC is not mature. Should I recommend Python & Django stack? If it's not possible to run Python on IIS what do you think I should do?
Can I run IIS and Apache in parallel?
break up the pros and cons of using python django vs asp.net mvc besides the maturity level of its framework. I have intermediate experience with JAVA. As of right now, i'm leaning towards python but i just wanted to make sure i am making the right choice.
I find myself limited with books available on asp.net web developments. I am aware that there is the storefront example on the official asp.net site. However, that tutorial was a little hard for me to follow. I've done a research around and was python could be my next available choice. There are more tutorials available online for python anyways.
Now before I dive too far into this this question, I am aware of nDjango and MonoRail; however, those project seem to be lacking.What I'm wondering is if there is a solution out in the .Net world that has the following features out of a single box like Rails has in Ruby or Django has for Python. I know tools that do pieces but am curious if there's 1 unified solution out there.
Database Versioning/Migrations
ORM or similar code gen
MVC-based
Pre-generated administrative screens
View generation
Theming / styling
(I'm sure I'm forgetting another cornerstone feature)
There's lots of options that cover one or more of these aspects but is there something in .Net that covers all of them?
I searched the web and stackoverflow, but unfortunately, have not found any definite answers on whether or not Django is properly supported in IronPython.Net.
At work, I have some tools I would to develop in Django and Python, but from what I have read, Django is not really supported in IronPython.Net.
I've got a system that was partially written by someone else and is a complete maintenance nightmare for such a small app. I've finally been given changes which justifies just rewriting the horrible mess so I am moving it to Django.
Before I take the plunge, I've been trying to move over the password hash and salt into the Django auth tables [sha1]$[salt]$[hash] but can't get it to hash properly (resetting passwords isn't really an option).
Here is what I've been able to find out so far:
ASP.NET stores the hash as base64 string and uses a base64 salt (before hash) I can obviously reverse the base64 hash to a byte array Django uses a hexdigest, I tried BitConverter.ToString but they hash differently
I have a GetList.py file which consumes Web Service and saves the output in XML on the server.
How do I invoke GetList.py so it saves the output in XML on the server before displaying the XML output in .ASPX page?
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC (C#) site where I want to implement STV (Single Transferable Vote) voting. I've used OpenSTV for voting scenarios before, with great success, but I've never used it programmatically.
The OpenSTV Google Code project offers a Python script that allows usage of OpenSTV from other applications:
import sys sys.path.append("path to openstv package")
from openstv.ballots import Ballots
from openstv.ReportPlugins.TextReport import TextReport
from openstv.plugins import getMethodPlugins
(ballotFname, method, reportFname) = sys.argv[1:]
methods = getMethodPlugins("byName")
f = open(reportFname, "w")
try:
b = Ballots()
b.loadUnknown(ballotFname)
except Exception, msg:
print >> f, ("Unable to read ballots from %s" % ballotFname)
print >> f, msg
sys.exit(-1)
try:
e = methods[method](b)
e.runElection()
except Exception, msg:
print >> f, ("Unable to count votes using %s" % method)
print >> f, msg
sys.exit(-1).......
Is there a way for me to make such a Python call from my C# ASP.NET MVC site?
I would like to use some code written in python (it uses built in modules) in a regular ASP.NET/C# web application. I am a newbie in python and have heard of IronPython and how ASP.NET now allows us to create IronPython apps.
Any thoughts on which way I should proceed? The python code is the on here
I'm having difficulties scraping dynamically generated table in ASPX. Trying to scrape the gas prices from a site like this GasPrices. I can extract all the information in the gas price table (address, time submitted etc.), except for the actual gas price.
Is there a way I could scrape the gas prices? i.e. somehow get a text representation of it. I'm not very familiar with ASP/ASPX - but what's being generated now is not showing up in the final HTML. I'm using Python to do the scraping, but that's irrelevant unless there's a specific library...
When user click Build button Phython script needs to run.I execute this by using process but so many processes created when so many clicked the Build button, server hang.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a CodeExpression from a string of python. It seems possible since some of the DLR docs mention CodeDom classes but I haven't been able to find any examples or better docs. Any insight or psuedocode appreciated...
FYI, the use case here is to make an Asp.Net ExpressionBuilder that can evaluate python to use in SharePoint 2010. Let me know if there's anything like this out there!
Does the DLR only work for console applications?
I would like to embed Python code in an ASP.NET Web application.
How do I tell an ASP.NET Web application to look in the current directory for a .pkl file? This file is read in an embedded Python script.So far, I get a FileNotFound exception stating:
[Could not find file 'C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesMicrosoft SharedDevServer10.0 2.pkl'.]
I'm trying to parse a page that has different sections that are loaded with a Javascript __doPostBack() function.
An example of a link is: javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$cphMain$ucOemSchPicker$dlSch$ctl03$btnSch','')
As soon as this is clicked, the browser doesn't fetch a new URL but a section of webpage is updated to reflect new information.
What would I pass into a urllib function to complete the operation?
Inspecting om my PLESK 8.2 on APACHE2 with PHP 5.2.3 I saw this. Being a person who loves peed, would I gain anything by disabling all the stuff except PHP? which is the only thing I use really? I'll do anything to speed up my site.
