• Web frame work
– web application framework
– designed for web applications
– pre desinged models/template structure
– Frame work Vs library
– MVT ( Model - View - Template)
ü Model:
– dynamic data structure, indendent of the user interface , input data -> tables
ü View
– representation of information such as a chart, diagram or table
– browser user interface
– Accepts request and send the response\
– HTML tag (template) CSE 313 Cryptography and Network Security
ü Template
– HTML tag (.html file) Programming in C

 Django

• Django webframe work

– Makes easier to create web pages

– Implemented using python

– Model – View- Template (MVT) pattern

– Django takes care of the difficult stuff so that you can concentrate on building your web applications

– DRY (Don’t Reprat Youerself)

ü develpoed in one place not repeat again & again

• Move on to working directory and verify the python version

• Create virtula Environment==> python -m venv Sample

 Virtual environment

• to keep denmdencies among diffenernt projects

CSE 313 Cryptography and Network Security

17-Apr-23 CSE 304 Python programming By Dr.S.Priya 5
• to verify Django installed or not => pip list

• installing Django => python -m pip install django

17-Apr-23 CSE 304 Python programming By Dr.S.Priya 6

• to verify Django version
– pip list

– python -m django --version

 In VS code...

• After vitrual environment is created in Command (cmd) prompt -> for remaing part move
on to VS code.
• VS Code:
– Select the virtual environment folder.
– change the interpreter path:
ü create one temporary python file like
– new file -> pythonfile -> ‘test.py’
» bottom shows the python version -> click that version -> small pop window will be opened
» select Find option
» open scripts folder -> select the python file -> select interpreter
» some times the virtual environment not get activated
» giveCSE 313 Cryptography
permission and Network Security
in power shell

 InPowerShell

• Select PowerShell and then right click -> Run as administrator -> type the following
commands
• Get-ExecutionPolicy _List
– skows local machine -> undefined (or) restricted
• Set - ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
– type “y” - > to give permision

• open new terminal in VScode

17-Apr-23 CSE 304 Python programming By Dr.S.Priya 10

• now Acivate the script file in VScode terminal:
– (Sample) PS E:\ACADEMIC\2022-2023\EVEN\Python\Sample> cd scripts

 Creating new project in VS code

• Switch over to working directory and activate virtual environment

django-admin startproject <projectname>
django-admin startproject myfirstproj

17-Apr-23 CSE 304 Python programming 12

 Creating new project in VS code

• in project folder (myfirstproj)

17-Apr-23 CSE 304 Python programming 13

 Run the project

• To run the project

1. select the project folder (myfirstproj)
2. change the interpreter path
– select virtual envt folder (Sample)-> select scripts-> select python file -> give “select
interpreter”
– open a new terminal . now in terminal window path changed to virtual envt (Sample)

3. in termnal windoe type python manage.py runserver command to start the server

17-Apr-23 CSE 304 Python programming By Dr.S.Priya 14

 Create a project in cmd prompt

• To create a new project

– activate the virtual environment
– type the following command

django-admin startproject myfirstproj

17-Apr-23 CSE 304 Python programming By Dr.S.Priya 15

 Execute the project in webbrowser

4. open any web browser -> in addresss bar type the local host address ( shown in step 3)
http://127.0.0.1:8000/

 New App creation in Django

1. Switch over to working directory and activate virtual environment

2. Create a new project
3. Create a new app
4. add application name in “settings.py” file
5. create an user defined function definition in “views.py” file
6. make appropriate changes in “urls.py” file
7. Run the server
1. start the server

2. run the server in web browser

 1. Creating new project in VS code

• Switch over to working directory and activate virtual environment

django-admin startproject <projectname>

django-admin startproject myfirstproj

17-Apr-23 CSE 304 Python programming By Dr.S.Priya 18

 Creating new project

• django-admin.py startproject myfirstproj • __init__.py

• Creates a folder like – Empty, Package
– firstproj • settings.py
ü manage.py – Add all user application with existing app
ü myfirstproj • urls.py
– __init__.py
– Project level URL info
– settings.py
– Connect web-apps with project
– urls.py
– Receive user request
– agsi.py
– wsgi.py • agsi.py , wsgi.py
– Web gateway interface

 2. Creating new app in VS code

• change to project directory

python manage.py startapp <appname>
python manage.py startapp firstapp

17-Apr-23 CSE 304 Python programming By Dr.S.Priya 20

 2. Creating new app

• Switch to project(firstproject) directory • __init__.py

and type – Package
python manage.py startapp firstapp • admin.py
• sampleapp is created like this – Register the model to Django admin
– firstproject – controller of the apps
ü manage.py – Super user
ü firstproject • apps.py
– __init__.py(package) – Application configuration of the apps
–
–
settings.py
urls.py
• models.py
– wsgi.py – Models of web application
– asgi.py – Fields and attributes of the database
ü First app • views.py

– apps.py • test.py
– models.py – Contains the code of different test case
– tests.py
– views.py , - migrations(dir), - db.sqlit3
