STEPS for creating virtual environment, startproject, startapps, migration, & running server.
  • virtualenv [virtual environment name]
  • cd  [virtual environment name]
  • .\Scripts\activate
  • .\Scripts\deactivate
  • pip install django
  • python .\Scripts\django-admin.py startproject [project name]
  • cd [project name]
  • python manage.py runserver
  • python manage.py startapp [name of app]
  • python manage.py migrate
  • python manage.py runserver
 After virtual environment, startproject, and startapp, the files structure look like this:


    In setting.py, put following intended app name, here it is newrequests.
    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        'django.contrib.admin',
        'django.contrib.auth',
        'django.contrib.contenttypes',
        'django.contrib.sessions',
        'django.contrib.messages',
        'django.contrib.staticfiles','newrequests',
    )

    In urls.py, put following code: 
    from django.conf.urls import include, url
    from django.contrib import admin

    from newrequests.views import request1

    urlpatterns = [
        url(r'^newrequests/$', request1),
    ]

    In views.py, put following code:
    from django.http import HttpResponse
    import requests

    def request1(request):
        r=requests.get('http://www.pythonlake.com/Python/turtle')
        c=r.text
        ct=c.count('turtle')
        return HttpResponse(ct)
     
    Running the server at localhost:8000 through following command in CMD:
     python manage.py runserver



    The pyramid returns with the requests after finding the number of 'a' in www.pythonlake.com.
    from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
    from pyramid.response import Response
    import requests

    def find(request):
        r=requests.get('http://www.pythonlake.com')
        text=r.text
        f=text.find('a')
        f=str(f)
        response = Response()
        response.text=f
        return response
        
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        config = Configurator()
        config.add_route('find', '/')
        config.add_view(find, route_name='find')
        app = config.make_wsgi_app()
        server = make_server('0.0.0.0', 6500, app)
        server.serve_forever()





    The request request is subject to the exception of ConnectionError in finding the turtle parameters in the www.pythonlake.com homepage.
    >>> import requests
     >>> try:
    ...     r=requests.get('http://www.pythonlake.com',params='www.pythonlake.com')
    ...     t=r.text
    ...     t.find('turtle')
    ... except:
    ...     print(e)
    ...     
    103986
    >>> 



    The request counted the number string 'www.pythonlake.com' in the request.
    >>> import requests
    >>> r=requests.get('http://www.pythonlake.com')
    >>> t=r.text
    >>> t.count('www.pythonlake.com')
    721 

    The code return with the exception of HTTPError because URL error.
     >>> try:
    ...     r=requests.get('http://www.pythonlake.c/turtle',params='turtle')
    ...     t=r.text
