I get a error message when using request.get() error on a mac

I'm a Mac user and I'm trying to use the requests module get() here:
import requests
url = 'http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=star+wars&r=json'
response = requests.get(url)
dic = response.json()
for key in dic:
print key, ':', dic[key]
But I get this:
import requests
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/__init__.py", line 63, in <module>
from . import utils
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/utils.py", line 24, in <module>
from ._internal_utils import to_native_string

import json
File "/Users/miguel/Desktop/json.py", line 4, in <module>
response = requests.get(url)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get'
I've reinstalled the requests library using pip module but it doesn't fix.
Any idea? Thanks.

You've named your own script json.py which we can see in the last line of the traceback:
File "/Users/miguel/Desktop/json.py", line 4, in <module>
Don't do that, you're now masking the actual json module and that's going to do some damage to requests's ability to function. Equally, don't call a script requests.py. Just rename the file and it should fix the issue.

Using django models in a script

I have a xml parser that will store that data into a MySQL database, as part of a django app. The parser is intended to run daily, capturing some tests outputs:
`dbsync.py`:
1 #!/usr/bin/env python
2 import os
3 os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'autotester.settings'
4
5 import xml_parser
6 from models import *
The Django project is called autotester and the app is called autoreporter.
When I execute
python dbsync.py
I'm getting:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "autoreporter/dbsync.py", line 6, in <module>

% (self.SETTINGS_MODULE, e)
ImportError: Could not import settings 'autotester.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Is there an import error in the settings file?): No module named autotester.settings
How can I have DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE set, so I can execute the dbsync.py script properly?

Two issues
You need to import models from your app, so provided that your Django project is in the PYTHONPATH you can simply import the app models by:
from autoreporter.models import *
or do a relative import, if dbsync.py(looks from your traceback) is in the app directory.
from .models import *
Add Django project to PYTHONPATH. You need to have the Django project in the PYTHONPATH to it be accessed from your dbsync.py(provided it is in your django app directory), quick easy fix for this would be to do the following in your code to dbsync.py.
import sys
import os
##get project directory
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
##get project parent directory and add to python path using sys.path.append
SYS_PATH = os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR)
if SYS_PATH not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(SYS_PATH)
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'autotester.settings'

I run a few scripts using the ORM without the rest of Django. I wouldn't set the environment in the script.
Since Django 1.7 you need to import your models, and run django setup.
I would set the environment as you do for the main Django application. Then at the start of your script add these lines. Those should set up the Django environment so it can access your models the same way a standard Django app will.
import django
django.setup()
import xml_parser
from .models import *

Some errors in my first Django cassandra code

I want to run my first Django cassandra code in pyCharm.
My code is running smoothly in Django console but it's not working in a .py file. these are the errors:
C:\Python27\python.exe "D:/Developer Center/PyCharm/DJangoCassandra/MyApp/testFile.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:/Developer Center/PyCharm/DJangoCassandra/MyApp/testFile.py", line 3, in <module>

File "D:\Developer Center\PyCharm\DJangoCassandra\MyApp\models.py", line 1, in <module>
from django.db import models
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\__init__.py", line 11, in <module>
if settings.DATABASES and DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS not in settings.DATABASES:
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line 53, in __getattr__
self._setup(name)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line 46, in _setup
% (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE))
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DATABASES, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.
Process finished with exit code 1
this is my .py file:
__author__ = 'ehsan'
from cqlengine import connection
from MyApp.models import Person
from cqlengine.management import sync_table,drop_table
def main():
connection.setup(['127.0.0.1:9160'])
sync_table(Person)
Person.create(id='2',name='Ali',family='Rezayee')
p = Person.objects.all()
for item in p:
print item.id
Person.filter(id='1')
this is my model:
from django.db import models
from cqlengine import Model, columns
# Create your models here.
class Person(Model):
id = columns.Text(primary_key=True)
name = columns.Text()
family = columns.Text()

If you'll write the following lines when starting the managy.py shell command, it should work:
import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "zoo.settings")

Flask-Superadmin - 'module' object has no attribute 'FileField'

I'm tring to launch simple code from the docs:
https://flask-superadmin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html
Here is the code:
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.superadmin import Admin
app = Flask(__name__)
admin = Admin(app)
app.run()
but the following error occures:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 2, in <module>
from flask.ext.superadmin import Admin

class FileField(wtf.FileField):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FileField'
I use the following versions of libraries:
Flask==0.10.1
Flask-Script==0.6.2
Flask-SuperAdmin==1.7
Flask-WTF==0.9.1
flask-mongoengine==0.7.0
WTForms==1.0.4
What is wrong, or where could I find working examples?

This is a bug in the import. I fixed it in my fork; clone from there and then try it again.

django urlib2 call

I am trying to call urllib2 simple code.
import urllib2
f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
print f.read(100)
m getting this error
File "urllib.py", line 13, in <module>
import urllib2
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 111, in <module>
from urllib import (unwrap, unquote, splittype, splithost, quote,
File "/home/vclub/vclubdev/vclubcms/urllib.py", line 14, in <module>
f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlopen'
Please suggest what i need to do for solving this error .

You have a file called urllib.py in your working directory. It's confusing Python's import mechanism.
You should rename it.
