I - DATABASE SCHEMA (v0.2.1)

II - Get the project (from gitlab)

Get the project from the terminal

git clone https://gitlab.irap.omp.eu/epallier/pyros.git PYROS

(or also : git clone git@gitlab.irap.omp.eu:epallier/pyros.git)

This creates a PYROS/ folder containing the project (with a .git/ subfolder for synchronization with the git repository)

If you just wanted a static copy of the project (without synchronization) just remove the .git/ folder:

$ rm -r .git/

You should obtain this structure:


PYROS/
├── REQUIREMENTS.txt
├── private/
│   └── venv_py35_pyros/
├── public/
│   └── static/
├── src/
│   ├── manage.py

III - INSTALLATION

Install MySql (only if necessary)

Download and install the newest version on https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/

Once installed, launch MySQL Installer. Clic on 'Add...' on the right.
In MySQLServers section, choose the newest, then clic on next.
Install and configure the server (just follow the installation guide).

Then launch mysql (via the Windows menu).

Install Python3.5 (only if necessary)

Create a Python3 virtual environment dedicated to the project (inside the project folder)


$ mkdir private/

$ cd private/

$ which python3.5 ("where python" for windows)
/opt/local/bin/python3.5

$ virtualenv-3.5 venv_py35_pyros -p /opt/local/bin/python3.5
=> creates a venv_py35_pyros/ folder inside PYROS/private/

Activate the python virtual environment (from inside the project)


$ pwd
.../PYROS/private

$ source ./venv_py35_pyros/bin/activate (venv_py35_pyros/Scripts/activate on Windows)

$ python -V
Python 3.5.1

$ which pip
.../PYROS/venv_py35_pyros/bin/pip

Upgrade pip to last version available:
$ pip install --upgrade pip
Collecting pip
  Downloading pip-8.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.2MB)
Installing collected packages: pip
  Found existing installation: pip 7.1.2
    Uninstalling pip-7.1.2:
      Successfully uninstalled pip-7.1.2
Successfully installed pip-8.1.1

Upgrade wheel to last version available:
$ pip install --upgrade wheel
Collecting wheel
  Downloading wheel-0.29.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (66kB)
Installing collected packages: wheel
  Found existing installation: wheel 0.24.0
    Uninstalling wheel-0.24.0:
      Successfully uninstalled wheel-0.24.0
Successfully installed wheel-0.29.0

Install the needed Python packages (from within the virtual environment)

First, be sure that the virtual environment is activated:

$ python -V
Python 3.5.1

Test the project


$ cd src/

$ ./manage.py runserver
(or gunicorn pyros.wsgi)
==> http://localhost:8000
...
...
Ctrl-c

IV - CONFIGURATION of the Django Back Office (administration interface)

Back Office setup

$ python manage.py createsuperuser

from django.contrib import admin
from app.models import Model1, Model2

admin.site.register(Model1)
admin.site.register(Model2)

Reminder : each application must be registered in the settings.py INSTALLED_APPS variable.

class UserLevel(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=45, blank=True, null=True)
    desc = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    priority = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
    quota = models.FloatField(blank=True, null=True)

    class Meta:
        managed = True
        db_table = 'userlevel'

    def __str__(self):
        return (str(self.name))

Naming convention : Use self.name when possible, the creation time/date otherwise. Example :

class SiteWatch(models.Model):
    updated = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)
    lights = models.CharField(max_length=45, blank=True, null=True)
    dome = models.CharField(max_length=45, blank=True, null=True)
    doors = models.CharField(max_length=45, blank=True, null=True)
    temperature = models.FloatField(blank=True, null=True)

    class Meta:
        managed = True
        db_table = 'sitewatch'

    def __str__(self):
        return (str(self.updated))

Adaptation of the one-to-many and many-to-many display


For Schedule.sequences, Request.sequences and Sequentype.sequences, we will need :

class SequenceInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Sequence
    fields = ("name",)
    show_change_link = True

For Sequence.albums and Detector.albums, we will need :

class AlbumInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Album
    fields = ("name",)
    show_change_link = True

For StrategyObs.alerts, we will need :

class AlertInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = Alert
    fields = ("request.name",) # there is no 'name' attribute in the Alert model
    show_change_link = True


For Request.sequences :

class RequestAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
    SequenceInline,
    ]

For Detector.filters and Detector.albums :

class DetectorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
    FilterInline,
        AlbumInline,
    ]


For ScientificProgram - User :

class UserAndSPInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = ScientificProgram.users.through

For ScheduleHistory - Sequence

class SequenceAndSHInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = ScheduleHistory.sequences.through

Note : The order in the line "model = ScientificProgram.users.through" is very important : the first model (ScientificProgram) is the one in which is declared the ManyToManyField relationship.

For the ScheduleHistory - Sequence relationship :

class ScheduleHistoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
        SequenceAndSHInline,
    ]
    exclude = ('sequences',) # ScheduleHistory declares the ManyToManyField, and we want to replace its display in the back office, so we won't display the default field

class SequenceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
        AlbumInline,        # This is the Inline for the one-to-many relationship Sequence.albums
        SequenceAndSHInline,                                                                
    ]

For the ScientificProgram - User relationship :

class ScientificProgramAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
        RequestInline,
    UserAndSPInline,                                                                         
    ]
    exclude = ('users',) # Same as ScheduleHistory                                                                         

class UserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [
    RequestInline,   # This is the Inline for the one-to-many relationship User.requests
        UserAndSPInline,                                                                    
    ]
