This tutorial show you how can use pipenv tool and set the Django project in order to create a calendar with Django project.
First, install the pipenv tool using the pip tool:
python -m pip install pipenv
Collecting pipenv
...
Successfully installed pipenv-2020.6.2 virtualenv-clone-0.5.4
You can see all options and features with this command:
pipenv
Usage: pipenv [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Options:
--where Output project home information.
--venv Output virtualenv information.
--py Output Python interpreter information.
--envs Output Environment Variable options.
--rm Remove the virtualenv.
--bare Minimal output.
--completion Output completion (to be executed by the
shell).
--man Display manpage.
--support Output diagnostic information for use in
GitHub issues.
--site-packages / --no-site-packages
Enable site-packages for the virtualenv.
[env var: PIPENV_SITE_PACKAGES]
--python TEXT Specify which version of Python virtualenv
should use.
--three / --two Use Python 3/2 when creating virtualenv.
--clear Clears caches (pipenv, pip, and pip-tools).
[env var: PIPENV_CLEAR]
-v, --verbose Verbose mode.
--pypi-mirror TEXT Specify a PyPI mirror.
--version Show the version and exit.
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
Usage Examples:
Create a new project using Python 3.7, specifically:
$ pipenv --python 3.7
Remove project virtualenv (inferred from current directory):
$ pipenv --rm
Install all dependencies for a project (including dev):
$ pipenv install --dev
Create a lockfile containing pre-releases:
$ pipenv lock --pre
Show a graph of your installed dependencies:
$ pipenv graph
Check your installed dependencies for security vulnerabilities:
$ pipenv check
Install a local setup.py into your virtual environment/Pipfile:
$ pipenv install -e .
Use a lower-level pip command:
$ pipenv run pip freeze
Commands:
check Checks for PyUp Safety security vulnerabilities and against PEP
508 markers provided in Pipfile.
clean Uninstalls all packages not specified in Pipfile.lock.
graph Displays currently-installed dependency graph information.
install Installs provided packages and adds them to Pipfile, or (if no
packages are given), installs all packages from Pipfile.
lock Generates Pipfile.lock.
open View a given module in your editor.
run Spawns a command installed into the virtualenv.
shell Spawns a shell within the virtualenv.
sync Installs all packages specified in Pipfile.lock.
uninstall Uninstalls a provided package and removes it from Pipfile.
update Runs lock, then sync.
Create a folder for your project, I used this folder named
django_test_002:
mkdir django_test_002
Create a virtualenv using the pipenv shell
django_test_002>pipenv shell

Let's test the
pipenv shell tool with a simple example for
activate,
deactivate and
exit:
D:\Projects\Python\django_test_002>pipenv shell

Create django project named
test_calendar:

Start server to check that our project is running at
localhost:8000.

You have 17 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations
for app(s): admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

Django version 3.0.7, using settings 'test_calendar.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.
Now, you can open with your browser the default link http://127.0.0.1:8000/ and you will see the start page of Django framework.
Use Ctrl+C keys to stop it, and create an application.
I used the next command to create first_calendar application.
D:\Projects\Python\django_test_002\test_calendar>python manage.py startapp first_calendar
Into the folder application first_calendar make these changes to views.py from to create a index view:
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
# Create your views here.
def index(request):
return HttpResponse('hello')
Create a new file named
urls.py in the folder
first_calendar and add this source code:
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
app_name = 'first_calendar'
urlpatterns = [
#url(r'^index/$', views.index, name='index'),
url('', views.index, name='index'),
]
Return to the project base folder and add the view to
urls.py from the project
test_calendar folder:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('first_calendar.urls')),
]
Into the project folder
test_calendar add the application to the file
settings.py.
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'first_calendar',
]
Use
migrate option to migrate the project:
(django_test_002-bp-hUvnN) D:\Projects\Python\django_test_002\test_calendar>python manage.py migrate
Operations to perform:
Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions
Running migrations:
Applying contenttypes.0001_initial... OK
Applying auth.0001_initial... OK
Applying admin.0001_initial... OK
Applying admin.0002_logentry_remove_auto_add... OK
Applying admin.0003_logentry_add_action_flag_choices... OK
Applying contenttypes.0002_remove_content_type_name... OK
Applying auth.0002_alter_permission_name_max_length... OK
Applying auth.0003_alter_user_email_max_length... OK

Go back to default project folder. Now you can test using this command:
(django_test_002-bp-hUvnN) D:\Projects\Python\django_test_002\test_calendar>python manage.py runserver

Django version 3.0.7, using settings 'test_calendar.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.
You will see a simple word: hello. Let's fix the admin login by adding user:
python manage.py createsuperuser
Username (leave blank to use 'catal'): catafest
Email address: catafest@yahoo.com
Password:
I set user
catafest and password
admin76 and then use the next command to see the result on
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin:
python manage.py runserver
The next step is to create a
Event class into
models.py file from
first_calendar:
from django.db import models
class Event(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
description = models.TextField()
start_time = models.DateTimeField()
end_time = models.DateTimeField()
Then add this class into
admin.py file:
from django.contrib import admin
from first_calendar.models import Event
admin.site.register(Event)
This tutorial set the one default Django project with the Django framework version 3.0.7 .
