this is a follow up post for http://hilaltarakci.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-python-book-part-1.html
here is the summary for Part2 of the book:

couchdb + django

http://lethain.com/an-introduction-to-using-couchdb-with-django/ is an excellent tutorial for integrating couchdb with django..
(couchdb version 0.8, django version 1.5 on Windows 7)
In order to succesfully run the example, i did the following:

- if you get the error,
cannot import name ResourceNotFound,
edit couch_docs/view.py as follows:
from couchdb.client import ResourceNotFound

- if you get the error,
AssertionError at / The XView middleware requires authentication middleware to be installed. Edit your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting to insert 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware'.

do what it says..

- if you get the error,
The Django authentication middleware requires session middleware to be installed. Edit your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting to insert 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'.

do what it says.. settings.py becomes as follows:


MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.doc.XViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
)


- if you get the error,
Error importing template source loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source: "'module' object has no attribute 'load_template_source'"

update settings.py as follows:


TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
    'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
    'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
#     'django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader',
)

After the above fixes, the example worked for me..

a python book - part 1

Nowadays, i am trying to learn Python and prepared a repository consisting of Python books, tutors etc..

Actually, finding good documentation on Python isn't that hard due to its widespread use..

Anyway, i am using the online free book on ww.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/ and take my own notes during study..

In this post, i publish those notes of mine as notebook pages, a weird way for sharing actually!!

The book consists of three parts, and (i can say that) this is the summary of first part..
