Once the environment is activated, if we install dependencies, they'll only be applicable to that environment, and won't collide with other environments, or even the system environment. Now that our virtual environment has been created, all that's is left to do is to activate it, by running the activate script: # Windows $ myenv/Scripts/activate.bat # Linux $ source myenv/Scripts/activate # MacOS $ source env/bin/activate Open your command prompt/shell and inside the directory we've just created, run: $ mkdir fileupload $ cd fileupload $ python -m venv.
Let's create a directory that will act as a container for the environment. This step is optional, but highly recommended, and considered good practice for keeping Python environments clean. We start by creating a virtual environment to avoid having our dependencies cause version mismatch issues with other projects. Throughout this guide, we'll assume basic knowledge of Django and quickly go through the setup process, though, if you'd like to gain deeper understanding of the project creation process, read our Guide to Creating a REST API in Python with Django! If you're unfamiliar with Django and its modules, such as django-admin - you can read out general guide to creating REST APIs that cover the basic elements of Django. We will create a form through which they can log descriptions and images for each beast, then we will render that form, store the information and display it to the user when needed.
Let's assume we live in an imaginary universe where we live alongside the magical creatures of the Harry Potter books, and the magi-zoologists of our world need an application to keep track of information regarding each magical creature they study. We will be building a small project where we can implement file upload, storage, and display functionalities of Django, with a database, however, storing the images on a hard drive. Throughout the guide, we'll be taking these questions into consideration, building a small project that offers a user the ability to upload files to a Django web application. Uploading files also raises a question of storage (where the files end up) as well as display (how they can be retrieved and displayed). In this guide, we'll take a look at how to upload a file with Python, to a Django-based web application.įiles that are uploaded can be additionally processed in various forms, or could be left in their raw state. Users are so used to file sharing within a wide variety of software, that its novelty is far-gone, and its functionality is oftentimes considered standard. This data can take various forms and shapes, and some common human-interpretable format are images, videos, and audio files. The World Wide Web facilitated the transfer of huge amounts of data between networked computers, and it's a community that creates and shares data in abundance.
