I have a blog website backend is Python + Django + DRF. On frontend I have React.
At the article page I want to have "related articles" section and "popular articles". The same I want to have for the root page. For me is so important that these sections will be "user specefic". For example if user have been reading a lot about "France" it would influence to recommended articles and this topic will have more weight than other.
How can I do that?
Can I do that with python?
What technology should I use?
Thank you!
It's a bit more complex than that. You can show similar topics with whatever front end you have, once you have those topics. I don't know of an out-of-the-box library that returns the similar topics, but there are some pretty complex natural language processing tools that you can use to create some on your own (for example, gensim).
This Question has nothing to do with Django or Reactjs. What you are looking for are algorithms for recommender systems.

I'm looking for a python web framework that is easy to use and allows me to generate some nice looking user interfaces on the fly. I have not much experience with web development and don't want to spent much time to learn internals.
So far I use cherrypy and mako templating to serve the app. My problem is, it just looks awful. I'd like to have some nice (maybe AJAX?) features available to make the app a little bit more fancy.
My app is a simple search site without any database connection. So I have a main page where the user enters the search string and a result page. In the end it should look like the Goole search, with some hover effects for the results, nice keyboard controls, maybe even something similar like the page preview from Google.
So to achieve this, should I use a different framework or do I need to write the CSS and javascript by hand? What options do I have?
Thanks!
Your user interface has nothing to do with the web framework you choose to use.
That said, you might find Bootstrap useful:
Bootstrap is a toolkit from Twitter designed to kickstart development
of webapps and sites. It includes base CSS and HTML for typography,
forms, buttons, tables, grids, navigation, and more.

"easy to use"
Django
"generate some nice looking user interfaces on the fly"
Django!
"don't want to spent much time"
Django!!
For javascript, I strongly suggest jQuery and for some CSS: Grid 960.
How about Django or Pinax? Maybe BlueBream? There are so many Python frameworks... If you're new to dev work, however, choose one in which there's a solid offline local community to lean on...to go to with questions to help get the app built. (In L.A., it's Django.) But, specifically to your app, my question would be: if you only have essentially just two different page layouts--i.e., the main search page where a user inputs their query, and then X number of dynamically generated pages for the results...and no database--do you really need a whole Python "framework" for that? You write that you're also looking to dynamically generate "nice looking user interfaces on the fly"...which is a little confusing given the stated scope of your app.

I found interesting web2py framework, easy to install, and it has o lot of features as "from the box"
I have a model that has multiple text properties - title, short and long description etc. I want to have multilanguage site so I need a way to easy by able to add new languages and translations for this field for every item. What is the best way to achieve this?
Django has built-in support for I18N (read internationalization):

I found that django transmeta, also listed by The Myyn is actually quite right for what llian is looking for. We have a very similar setup in production for some of our high traffic websites.
I find myself continually sifting through the net to keep up with Python/Django/web development trends and news. Does anyone recommend any good news sites that focus on web development or they Python community? For example, what new Django modules are popular or interesting new jQuery plugins, etc. Just curious to know how others keep their knowledge up to date.
The Django community aggregator is a great source of news and information about what people are doing with Django.
Coder.io lists Django news too but Django's own community page is my primary source.

Django Dose is great. They have a bit or erratic updates (but they're back to posting again), but when they do, they really pick up the most interesting developments, both in trunk and around the community. Also the django sub-reddit is pretty good too, most things tend to come that way.
I run a Tumblr blog called Djangoed which picks out the best/interesting stories from various sources (including the community aggregator, Django Sites and Reddit amongst others).
I know python and have just read a basic intro of django. I have to built something like a travel website with real time updates. Will django be sufficent for this? Somebody advised me to look at django-CMS, I couldn't find a very beginner's tutorial there. Should I opt for django-CMS? Also how much of django should i know before i can try out django-cms?
Edit: Not too much real time stuff but just updates on the fly, like availibilty etc. Do i really need CMS?
Thanks
From your brief description it sounds like the main part of you project will be something that manages travel information and displays it to visitors to a website. This definitely sounds like something Django would be perfect for.
Django projects tend to be very modular, so the content management part of you code would likely be completely distinct from the travel parts of your project. Personally I'd start with the core travel functionality, rather than start out with worrying about content management. Then once you have that in place you'll be better positioned to decide whether django-cms fits your content needs, or whether something hand rolled will do.
Start by defining your models for the travel application. Then register those models with the admin. Get happy with how the data is modelled and then try and create one of the basic views. You should have something up and running pretty quickly.
You might also be interested in the GeoDjango project http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/GeoDjango which provides lots of geographical and mapping tools - which sounds pretty relevant to your project.
I would say no. Django CMS is well designed, if you change content frequently. It has nice features to build up a page. But that means it only shows its benefits, when you create a lot pages/subpages and so on.
For a simple website that only presents data, without adding new pages/views, Django will suffice.
And from my experience, you should at lest be familiar with Views and URLs in order to use Django CMS well. But the same applies to Django itself. Everything else can be found on google.
Hope that helps.
Does anyone know of a django forum plugin that allows each member to have his own forum? If there isn't anything, than what would be the best way to accomplish this with a "regular" forum plugin for Django?
I once created a feature matrix of all Django forum apps I could find. It might be a bit outdated now, though (contributions welcome).
At least django-threadedcomments uses generic foreign keys, so you can attach a message thread to any database object, including users.
Look at DjangoBB.
Yep, the forum app of SCT can be used for this - simply set it up and create multiple "community Groups" (these are similar to vhosts) and map them to subdomains - each community group would have separate forum categories, can have separate templates, separate user permissions, etc. (but they will obviously share the same django users and their profiles) - as an example.. the following websites are all hosted on the same instance:
SCT website
My personal website/blog (the blog is also based on SCTs forum)
ShelfShare Community
Check out diamanda. I'm not sure it does what you need as far as the each user having its forums, but that's probably not too hard to hack on top. Probably as simple as adding a few ForeignKeys into auth.User to the diamanda models. In general django pluggables and djangoapps are good places to look for django stuff that is already written. Also, check out pinax.
I believe the Sphene Community Tools can do this.
