Learning Python

By: Romano

Overview of this book

Learning Python has a dynamic and varied nature. It reads easily and lays a good foundation for those who are interested in digging deeper. It has a practical and example-oriented approach through which both the introductory and the advanced topics are explained. Starting with the fundamentals of programming and Python, it ends by exploring very different topics, like GUIs, web apps and data science. The book takes you all the way to creating a fully fledged application. The book begins by exploring the essentials of programming, data structures and teaches you how to manipulate them. It then moves on to controlling the flow of a program and writing reusable and error proof code. You will then explore different programming paradigms that will allow you to find the best approach to any situation, and also learn how to perform performance optimization as well as effective debugging. Throughout, the book steers you through the various types of applications, and it concludes with a complete mini website built upon all the concepts that you learned.

Implementing the Django interface

I hope you're comfortable with the concepts presented in Chapter 10, Web Development Done Right which was mostly about Django. If you haven't read it, this is probably a good time, before reading on here.

The setup

In your root folder (ch12, for me), which will contain the root for the interface and the root for the API, start by running this command:

$ django-admin startproject pwdweb

This will create the structure for a Django project, which we know well by now. I'll show you the final structure of the interface project here:

$ tree -A pwdweb
pwdweb
├── db.sqlite3
├── manage.py
├── pwdweb
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── settings.py
│   ├── urls.py
│   └── wsgi.py
└── records
    ├── admin.py
    ├── forms.py
