I have such php function which I try to rewrite in my Django project. What should be an analogue in python for php methods like header()
and show_error()
? Also how to send file to response?
php:
function waprfile($date=false) {
if(!isset($date) || $date==false) $date = date("d.m.y");
$timestmp = date2timestamp($date);
$filepath = "https://www.example.com/files/".$this->lang_code."/";
if(file_get_contents($filepath.date("dmy",$timestmp).".xls"))
{
header("Location: ".$filepath."wapr".date("dmy",$timestmp).".xls");
}
else
{
show_error(_langWrite("No file for specified date", "Файл на указанную дату отсутствует"));
}
}
python:
import urllib.request
import datatime
import time
from django.utils import translation
def isset(variable):
return variable in locals() or variable in globals()
def waprfile(request, date):
if(not isset(date) or date==False):
date = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%d.%m.%Y')
timestmp = time.mktime(datatime.datetime.strptime(date, "%d.%m.%Y").timetuple())
filepath = "https://www.example.com/files/" + str(translation.get_language()) + "/"
formatted_date = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestmp).strftime('%d%m%y')
if(urllib.request.urlopen(filepath + formatted_date + '.xls')):
# What must be here?
else:
# What must be here?
response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/ms-excel')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=' + fileName
return response
Read file first and then send it in response.
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseNotFound
def waprfile(request, date):
...
file_location = '/path/to/file/foo.xls'
try:
with open(file_location, 'r') as f:
file_data = f.read()
# sending response
response = HttpResponse(file_data, content_type='application/vnd.ms-excel')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="foo.xls"'
except IOError:
# handle file not exist case here
response = HttpResponseNotFound('<h1>File not exist</h1>')
return response
