python-django for dynamic web survey?

0 votes
304 views

I need to create a web survey that will dynamically (randomly) select questions and descriptions from a dataset, present them to users, collect their answers and store them back in the dataset. (Every user gets different set of questions randomly selested from the pool.)

Since I am very inexperienced with this stuff I want to ask you if you thing that python (which I use) and django (which I have never used before) would be a good way to do this easily? I have seen there are
some django survey and crowdsourcing librarires...

What do you think? Is there an easier way? I would like some fast, clean, modifyAndDoNotCodeFromScratch solution.

Django makes your life a lot easier in many ways, but you still need some time to learn it.The task youre trying its not trivial though, depending on your experience it might take a while with any library/framework..

I have been trying to set up a python, django, mysql, virtualenvwrapper and git development project and am really confused. All of the documentation seems to ignore the apt-get installation methods used by Debian Linux and its derivatives. Does pip install the same as apt-get; I don't think so. If I use virtualenvwrapper, how does this fit with the normal debian (wheezy) installation. I also need git which just confuses the situation even more. Must I give up the automatic updating system that Debian provides when setting up the development environment?

The documentation centers on Windows, Mac and generic Linux distributions and ignores the automation of the Debian installation. All of the documentation I have found concentrates on the installation of individual packages or on the use of python-django and is very sketchy on the overall virtualenv(wrapper), git, python-django file structure and installation order.

I am trying to learn Django. My initial exercise seems fine. I want to create an API with REST on Django for an interactive Python code. REST framework on Django I am understanding more or less.

I am looking for a simple example to start with. I am using Python 2.7+ on MS-Windows 7 Professional.

If any one may kindly suggest.

I have python-django installed on ubuntu installed on top of virtual Box. Also I have apache2 installed in the same way. When i visit the page hoisted by Apache2 from my Windows Host machine it worked.
But When i am doing the same for Django pages it's not opening up in Web browser from Host machine.
In the virtual box I am using bridged adapter and Eth0.

Please Help me to sort out this problem

I am having trouble matching Python data types with those of MySQL. MySQL has about 7 basic data types including Blobs, Binaries, etc. It also has a rich selection of geometry types. In addition, types like INT have 7 or 8 different options like Primary Key, zero fill, auto inc, etc. I can't seem to find anything in python to match these. I am trying to build a model.py for an existing database that was created with MySQL Workbench.

I do not wish to use anything other than MySQL because of the complexity of my storage needs (searchable text, PDF, Audio, Video and Photos). The text searches will often be word phrase searches through thousands of documents. I need the speed and the data type flexibility.

How do I build or modify a model.py to do this. I really don't want to write a model.py manually. That would really be a major pain. Workbench to the database an import to Django and edit is my choice. Unfortunately, the model.py produced has lost most of the functionality of the original database and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.
