Gsoc 2015: SQLAlchemy / NoSQL integration

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi,

I am Abhishek and am interested in the project titled "SQLAlchemy / NoSQL integration". I am good at data-structures and algorithms and have worked with C,C++, PHP, Python,C#, Javascript and Mysql. I have an internship experience at Microsoft, India.

I have some questions which will help me in understanding the tasks involved in this project better.

1)What was the formalised meta that came out of the 2014 soc project..? Where to find the details of it..? 

2) I am new to Django. So i would be learning about it. Please let me know what things i should focus more on w.r.t this project.

3) Before beginning to work for the project, what things i need to do to make me eligible for it..? Bug fixes..? 

I will choose the particular  Nosql database later. 

Thanks,

Abhishek Kumar

The new Meta interface is documented as part of Django 1.8:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/models/meta/

 

2) I am new to Django. So i would be learning about it. Please let me know what things i should focus more on w.r.t this project.

The most important part is probably Django's query language - you need to get comfortable with how you construct queries, and what those queries "mean" - both in the sense of the SQL they generate, and the underlying "idea" that the query is trying to capture.

It would also be worth becoming familiar with Django's Admin interface - especially with regard to what queries it generates, and when.

 

3) Before beginning to work for the project, what things i need to do to make me eligible for it..? Bug fixes..? 

The only hard requirement is to write a project proposal. However, if you get involved with the community, that may improve your chances, as we will get a chance to know you; if there are some details lacking in your proposal, we might be willing to overlook them if we have a better understanding of who you are, and how you interact with the community.

Yours,

Hi Abhishek,

I am the GSOC 2014 student who refactored the Meta API, please contact me if you need any details on my work, or if you want to know more about implementation and/or design of the new Meta API. You can also find me on IRC as pirosb3.

Good luck!

Daniel

Hi,

I was trying to run the django-mailer written by Daniel. On doing migrate or runserver i am getting the following error:

django.core.management.base.SystemCheckError: SystemCheckError: System check identified some issues:

ERRORS:

<class 'mailchecker.admin.ThreadAdmin'>: (admin.E106) The value of 'mailchecker.admin.MessageInline.model' must be a Model.

Any suggestions on resolving it..?

Hi Abhishek,

I am in the process of updating the mailer in the next month. I will let you know when this has been done.

Regards,

Daniel
