Re: Use Django to implement my GUI!

Thanks Guys for all.
I will carefully look at all your suggestions and see what is better in a production environment.
But the idea of having the possibility to abstract the frontend so that it can be changed is the best i think and was what i intended to do after my server become working and stable.

I want to run server engine(backend) in one thread catching and processing network packets from clients, and my the fronted running in a separated thread rendering data catching gui event.
I first choose to do it with cherrypy but it's not sweet for big projects and the fronted would not be so generic that way.

I then discover django with its features and possibilities.

I hope i will make and implement the best choice with your help.

Thanks and see you soon.

Maybe pyjs?
Do the GUI part using Python (which renders into javascript), and you can connect it using Django as your backend.

Hi!

I'm a python developper, but new in django.

I'm devolopping a multi clients-server application.

The server and the clients are communicating via sockets, The server
receive somme states from clients, and display them in the User
interface.
In the other hand, the server has to send a message(packet) to the
client when an event  occurs in the GUI, and data are stored in a
database.

Then I choose to make a web interface where data could be viewed and
manipulated. And I discovered Django, which fit all my needs. I tested
and liked the framework.

My questions are:
- Can I override the djando admin methods so that i can not only
customized my views and html page, but also manipulate objects in
database, so that i can do another action when catching an  event in
the GUi.
For example, taking the django admin tutorial, I would like to do and
action like sending a message the user choose "add a poll". How can I
do those things? Cause I noticed that method that alter data in data
base are part of django admin module and cannot be overriden

- To achieve what I want, i would like to run my server engine and my
django admin in two separated threads. How do i run my admin module in
a thread? Cause till now i'm using the command line "python manage.py
runserver"

- I also tried to overide tables name, and foreign keys names. Could
you guys provide me a true life example?

- And now in the production step, I would like you guys to tell me
what to choose for serving files. I would like to with your experience
what's better between running a unicorn server or apache with mod_wsgi

I don't know if i'm clear, but i hope. In brief I'd like to use the
django framework features to design my Gui like i want, customize
interactions between the gui and the backend, and choose a good web
server for the production.

Thank you for advance
