Django UtilsP

This document covers all stable modules in django.utils. Most of the modules in django.utils are designed for internal use and only the following parts can be considered stable and thus backwards compatible as per the internal release deprecation policy.

django.utils.cacheP

This module contains helper functions for controlling HTTP caching. It does so by managing the Vary header of responses. It includes functions to patch the header of response objects directly and decorators that change functions to do that header-patching themselves.

For information on the Vary header, see RFC 7231#section-7.1.4.

Essentially, the Vary HTTP header defines which headers a cache should take into account when building its cache key. Requests with the same path but different header content for headers named in Vary need to get different cache keys to prevent delivery of wrong content.

For example, internationalization middleware would need to distinguish caches by the Accept-language header.

patch_cache_control(response, **kwargs)[源代码]P

This function patches the Cache-Control header by adding all keyword arguments to it. The transformation is as follows:

  • All keyword parameter names are turned to lowercase, and underscores are converted to hyphens.
  • If the value of a parameter is True (exactly True, not just a true value), only the parameter name is added to the header.
  • All other parameters are added with their value, after applying str() to it.
get_max_age(response)[源代码]P

Returns the max-age from the response Cache-Control header as an integer (or None if it wasn't found or wasn't an integer).

patch_response_headers(response, cache_timeout=None)[源代码]P

Adds some useful headers to the given HttpResponse object:

  • Expires
  • Cache-Control

Each header is only added if it isn't already set.

cache_timeout is in seconds. The CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS setting is used by default.

add_never_cache_headers(response)[源代码]P

Adds a Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate header to a response to indicate that a page should never be cached.

patch_vary_headers(response, newheaders)[源代码]P

Adds (or updates) the Vary header in the given HttpResponse object. newheaders is a list of header names that should be in Vary. Existing headers in Vary aren't removed.

get_cache_key(request, key_prefix=None)[源代码]P

Returns a cache key based on the request path. It can be used in the request phase because it pulls the list of headers to take into account from the global path registry and uses those to build a cache key to check against.

If there is no headerlist stored, the page needs to be rebuilt, so this function returns None.

learn_cache_key(request, response, cache_timeout=None, key_prefix=None)[源代码]P

Learns what headers to take into account for some request path from the response object. It stores those headers in a global path registry so that later access to that path will know what headers to take into account without building the response object itself. The headers are named in the Vary header of the response, but we want to prevent response generation.

The list of headers to use for cache key generation is stored in the same cache as the pages themselves. If the cache ages some data out of the cache, this just means that we have to build the response once to get at the Vary header and so at the list of headers to use for the cache key.

django.utils.dateparseP

The functions defined in this module share the following properties:

  • They accept strings in ISO 8601 date/time formats (or some close alternatives) and return objects from the corresponding classes in Python's datetime module.
  • They raise ValueError if their input is well formatted but isn't a valid date or time.
  • They return None if it isn't well formatted at all.
  • They accept up to picosecond resolution in input, but they truncate it to microseconds, since that's what Python supports.
parse_date(value)[源代码]P

Parses a string and returns a datetime.date.

parse_time(value)[源代码]P

Parses a string and returns a datetime.time.

UTC offsets aren't supported; if value describes one, the result is None.

parse_datetime(value)[源代码]P

Parses a string and returns a datetime.datetime.

UTC offsets are supported; if value describes one, the result's tzinfo attribute is a datetime.timezone instance.

Changed in Django 2.2:

In older versions, the tzinfo attribute is a FixedOffset instance.

parse_duration(value)[源代码]P

Parses a string and returns a datetime.timedelta.

Expects data in the format "DD HH:MM:SS.uuuuuu" or as specified by ISO 8601 (e.g. P4DT1H15M20S which is equivalent to 4 1:15:20) or PostgreSQL's day-time interval format (e.g. 3 days 04:05:06).

django.utils.decoratorsP

method_decorator(decorator, name='')[源代码]P

Converts a function decorator into a method decorator. It can be used to decorate methods or classes; in the latter case, name is the name of the method to be decorated and is required.

decorator may also be a list or tuple of functions. They are wrapped in reverse order so that the call order is the order in which the functions appear in the list/tuple.

See decorating class based views for example usage.

decorator_from_middleware(middleware_class)[源代码]P

Given a middleware class, returns a view decorator. This lets you use middleware functionality on a per-view basis. The middleware is created with no params passed.

It assumes middleware that's compatible with the old style of Django 1.9 and earlier (having methods like process_request(), process_exception(), and process_response()).

decorator_from_middleware_with_args(middleware_class)[源代码]P

Like decorator_from_middleware, but returns a function that accepts the arguments to be passed to the middleware_class. For example, the cache_page() decorator is created from the CacheMiddleware like this:

cache_page = decorator_from_middleware_with_args(CacheMiddleware)

@cache_page(3600)
def my_view(request):
    pass

django.utils.encodingP

python_2_unicode_compatible()[源代码]P

A decorator that defines __unicode__ and __str__ methods under Python 2. Under Python 3 it does nothing.

To support Python 2 and 3 with a single code base, define a __str__ method returning text (use six.text_type() if you're doing some casting) and apply this decorator to the class.

smart_text(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')[源代码]P

Returns a str object representing arbitrary object s. Treats bytestrings using the encoding codec.

If strings_only is True, don't convert (some) non-string-like objects.

is_protected_type(obj)[源代码]P

Determine if the object instance is of a protected type.

Objects of protected types are preserved as-is when passed to force_text(strings_only=True).

force_text(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')[源代码]P

Similar to smart_text, except that lazy instances are resolved to strings, rather than kept as lazy objects.

If strings_only is True, don't convert (some) non-string-like objects.

smart_bytes(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')[源代码]P

Returns a bytestring version of arbitrary object s, encoded as specified in encoding.

If strings_only is True, don't convert (some) non-string-like objects.

force_bytes(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')[源代码]P

Similar to smart_bytes, except that lazy instances are resolved to bytestrings, rather than kept as lazy objects.

If strings_only is True, don't convert (some) non-string-like objects.

smart_str(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')P

Alias of smart_text(). This function returns a str or a lazy string.

For instance, this is suitable for writing to sys.stdout.

Alias of smart_bytes() on Python 2 (in older versions of Django that support it).

force_str(s, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict')P

Alias of force_text(). This function always returns a str.

Alias of force_bytes() on Python 2 (in older versions of Django that support it).

iri_to_uri(iri)[源代码]P

Convert an Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI) portion to a URI portion that is suitable for inclusion in a URL.

This is the algorithm from section 3.1 of RFC 3987#section-3.1, slightly simplified since the input is assumed to be a string rather than an arbitrary byte stream.

Takes an IRI (string or UTF-8 bytes) and returns a string containing the encoded result.

uri_to_iri(uri)[源代码]P

Converts a Uniform Resource Identifier into an Internationalized Resource Identifier.

This is an algorithm from section 3.2 of RFC 3987#section-3.2.

Takes a URI in ASCII bytes and returns a string containing the encoded result.

filepath_to_uri(path)[源代码]P

Convert a file system path to a URI portion that is suitable for inclusion in a URL. The path is assumed to be either UTF-8 bytes or string.

This method will encode certain characters that would normally be recognized as special characters for URIs. Note that this method does not encode the ' character, as it is a valid character within URIs. See encodeURIComponent() JavaScript function for more details.

Returns an ASCII string containing the encoded result.

escape_uri_path(path)[源代码]P

Escapes the unsafe characters from the path portion of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

django.utils.feedgeneratorP

简单的应用:

>>> from django.utils import feedgenerator
>>> feed = feedgenerator.Rss201rev2Feed(
...     title="Poynter E-Media Tidbits",
...     link="http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=31",
...     description="A group Weblog by the sharpest minds in online media/journalism/publishing.",
...     language="en",
... )
>>> feed.add_item(
...     title="Hello",
...     link="http://www.holovaty.com/test/",
...     description="Testing.",
... )
>>> with open('test.rss', 'w') as fp:
...     feed.write(fp, 'utf-8')

For simplifying the selection of a generator use feedgenerator.DefaultFeed which is currently Rss201rev2Feed

django.utils.functionalP

class cached_property(func, name=None)[源代码]P

The @cached_property decorator caches the result of a method with a single self argument as a property. The cached result will persist as long as the instance does, so if the instance is passed around and the function subsequently invoked, the cached result will be returned.

Consider a typical case, where a view might need to call a model's method to perform some computation, before placing the model instance into the context, where the template might invoke the method once more:

# the model
class Person(models.Model):

    def friends(self):
        # expensive computation
        ...
        return friends

# in the view:
if person.friends():
    ...

And in the template you would have:

{% for friend in person.friends %}

Here, friends() will be called twice. Since the instance person in the view and the template are the same, decorating the friends() method with @cached_property can avoid that:

from django.utils.functional import cached_property

class Person(models.Model):

    @cached_property
    def friends(self):
        ...

Note that as the method is now a property, in Python code it will need to be accessed appropriately:

# in the view:
if person.friends:
    ...

The cached value can be treated like an ordinary attribute of the instance:

# clear it, requiring re-computation next time it's called
del person.friends # or delattr(person, "friends")

# set a value manually, that will persist on the instance until cleared
person.friends = ["Huckleberry Finn", "Tom Sawyer"]

Because of the way the descriptor protocol works, using del (or delattr) on a cached_property that hasn't been accessed raises AttributeError.

As well as offering potential performance advantages, @cached_property can ensure that an attribute's value does not change unexpectedly over the life of an instance. This could occur with a method whose computation is based on datetime.now(), or simply if a change were saved to the database by some other process in the brief interval between subsequent invocations of a method on the same instance.

You can make cached properties of methods. For example, if you had an expensive get_friends() method and wanted to allow calling it without retrieving the cached value, you could write:

friends = cached_property(get_friends, name='friends')

You only need the name argument for Python < 3.6 support.

Changed in Django 2.2:

Older versions of Django require the name argument for all versions of Python.

While person.get_friends() will recompute the friends on each call, the value of the cached property will persist until you delete it as described above:

x = person.friends         # calls first time
y = person.get_friends()   # calls again
z = person.friends         # does not call
x is z                     # is True

警告

On Python < 3.6, cached_property doesn't work properly with a mangled name unless it's passed a name of the form _Class__attribute:

__friends = cached_property(get_friends, name='_Person__friends')
keep_lazy(func, *resultclasses)[源代码]P

Django offers many utility functions (particularly in django.utils) that take a string as their first argument and do something to that string. These functions are used by template filters as well as directly in other code.

If you write your own similar functions and deal with translations, you'll face the problem of what to do when the first argument is a lazy translation object. You don't want to convert it to a string immediately, because you might be using this function outside of a view (and hence the current thread's locale setting will not be correct).

For cases like this, use the django.utils.functional.keep_lazy() decorator. It modifies the function so that if it's called with a lazy translation as one of its arguments, the function evaluation is delayed until it needs to be converted to a string.

例子:

from django.utils.functional import keep_lazy, keep_lazy_text

def fancy_utility_function(s, ...):
    # Do some conversion on string 's'
    ...
fancy_utility_function = keep_lazy(str)(fancy_utility_function)

# Or more succinctly:
@keep_lazy(str)
def fancy_utility_function(s, ...):
    ...

The keep_lazy() decorator takes a number of extra arguments (*args) specifying the type(s) that the original function can return. A common use case is to have functions that return text. For these, you can just pass the str type to keep_lazy (or even simpler, use the keep_lazy_text() decorator described in the next section).

Using this decorator means you can write your function and assume that the input is a proper string, then add support for lazy translation objects at the end.

keep_lazy_text(func)[源代码]P

A shortcut for keep_lazy(str)(func).

If you have a function that returns text and you want to be able to take lazy arguments while delaying their evaluation, simply use this decorator:

from django.utils.functional import keep_lazy, keep_lazy_text

# Our previous example was:
@keep_lazy(str)
def fancy_utility_function(s, ...):
    ...

# Which can be rewritten as:
@keep_lazy_text
def fancy_utility_function(s, ...):
    ...

django.utils.htmlP

Usually you should build up HTML using Django's templates to make use of its autoescape mechanism, using the utilities in django.utils.safestring where appropriate. This module provides some additional low level utilities for escaping HTML.

escape(text)[源代码]P

Returns the given text with ampersands, quotes and angle brackets encoded for use in HTML. The input is first coerced to a string and the output has mark_safe() applied.

conditional_escape(text)[源代码]P

Similar to escape(), except that it doesn't operate on pre-escaped strings, so it will not double escape.

format_html(format_string, *args, **kwargs)[源代码]P

This is similar to str.format(), except that it is appropriate for building up HTML fragments. All args and kwargs are passed through conditional_escape() before being passed to str.format().

For the case of building up small HTML fragments, this function is to be preferred over string interpolation using % or str.format() directly, because it applies escaping to all arguments - just like the template system applies escaping by default.

So, instead of writing:

mark_safe("%s <b>%s</b> %s" % (
    some_html,
    escape(some_text),
    escape(some_other_text),
))

You should instead use:

format_html("{} <b>{}</b> {}",
    mark_safe(some_html),
    some_text,
    some_other_text,
)

This has the advantage that you don't need to apply escape() to each argument and risk a bug and an XSS vulnerability if you forget one.

Note that although this function uses str.format() to do the interpolation, some of the formatting options provided by str.format() (e.g. number formatting) will not work, since all arguments are passed through conditional_escape() which (ultimately) calls force_text() on the values.

format_html_join(sep, format_string, args_generator)[源代码]P

A wrapper of format_html(), for the common case of a group of arguments that need to be formatted using the same format string, and then joined using sep. sep is also passed through conditional_escape().

args_generator should be an iterator that returns the sequence of args that will be passed to format_html(). For example:

format_html_join(
    '\n', "<li>{} {}</li>",
    ((u.first_name, u.last_name) for u in users)
)
strip_tags(value)[源代码]P

Tries to remove anything that looks like an HTML tag from the string, that is anything contained within <>.

Absolutely NO guarantee is provided about the resulting string being HTML safe. So NEVER mark safe the result of a strip_tag call without escaping it first, for example with escape().

例子:

strip_tags(value)

If value is "<b>Joel</b> <button>is</button> a <span>slug</span>" the return value will be "Joel is a slug".

If you are looking for a more robust solution, take a look at the bleach Python library.

html_safe()[源代码]P

The __html__() method on a class helps non-Django templates detect classes whose output doesn't require HTML escaping.

This decorator defines the __html__() method on the decorated class by wrapping __str__() in mark_safe(). Ensure the __str__() method does indeed return text that doesn't require HTML escaping.

django.utils.httpP

urlencode(query, doseq=False)[源代码]P

A version of Python's urllib.parse.urlencode() function that can operate on MultiValueDict and non-string values.

cookie_date(epoch_seconds=None)[源代码]P

2.1 版后已移除: Use http_date() instead, which follows the latest RFC.

Formats the time to ensure compatibility with Netscape's cookie standard.

Accepts a floating point number expressed in seconds since the epoch in UTC--such as that outputted by time.time(). If set to None, defaults to the current time.

Outputs a string in the format Wdy, DD-Mon-YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT.

http_date(epoch_seconds=None)[源代码]P

Formats the time to match the RFC 1123 date format as specified by HTTP RFC 7231#section-7.1.1.1.

Accepts a floating point number expressed in seconds since the epoch in UTC--such as that outputted by time.time(). If set to None, defaults to the current time.

Outputs a string in the format Wdy, DD Mon YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT.

base36_to_int(s)[源代码]P

Converts a base 36 string to an integer.

int_to_base36(i)[源代码]P

Converts a positive integer to a base 36 string.

urlsafe_base64_encode(s)[源代码]P

Encodes a bytestring to a base64 string for use in URLs, stripping any trailing equal signs.

Changed in Django 2.2:

In older versions, it returns a bytestring instead of a string.

urlsafe_base64_decode(s)[源代码]P

Decodes a base64 encoded string, adding back any trailing equal signs that might have been stripped.

Changed in Django 2.2:

In older versions, s may be a bytestring.

django.utils.module_loadingP

Functions for working with Python modules.

import_string(dotted_path)[源代码]P

Imports a dotted module path and returns the attribute/class designated by the last name in the path. Raises ImportError if the import failed. For example:

from django.utils.module_loading import import_string
ValidationError = import_string('django.core.exceptions.ValidationError')

相当于:

from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError

django.utils.safestringP

Functions and classes for working with "safe strings": strings that can be displayed safely without further escaping in HTML. Marking something as a "safe string" means that the producer of the string has already turned characters that should not be interpreted by the HTML engine (e.g. '<') into the appropriate entities.

class SafeStringP

A str subclass that has been specifically marked as "safe" (requires no further escaping) for HTML output purposes. Alias of SafeText.

class SafeText[源代码]P

A str subclass that has been specifically marked as "safe" for HTML output purposes.

mark_safe(s)[源代码]P

Explicitly mark a string as safe for (HTML) output purposes. The returned object can be used everywhere a string is appropriate.

Can be called multiple times on a single string.

Can also be used as a decorator.

For building up fragments of HTML, you should normally be using django.utils.html.format_html() instead.

String marked safe will become unsafe again if modified. For example:

>>> mystr = '<b>Hello World</b>   '
>>> mystr = mark_safe(mystr)
>>> type(mystr)
<class 'django.utils.safestring.SafeText'>

>>> mystr = mystr.strip()  # removing whitespace
>>> type(mystr)
<type 'str'>

django.utils.textP

format_lazy(format_string, *args, **kwargs)P

A version of str.format() for when format_string, args, and/or kwargs contain lazy objects. The first argument is the string to be formatted. For example:

from django.utils.text import format_lazy
from django.utils.translation import pgettext_lazy

urlpatterns = [
    path(format_lazy('{person}/<int:pk>/', person=pgettext_lazy('URL', 'person')),
         PersonDetailView.as_view()),
]

This example allows translators to translate part of the URL. If "person" is translated to "persona", the regular expression will match persona/(?P<pk>\d+)/$, e.g. persona/5/.

slugify(value, allow_unicode=False)[源代码]P

Converts a string to a URL slug by:

  1. Converting to ASCII if allow_unicode is False (the default).
  2. Removing characters that aren't alphanumerics, underscores, hyphens, or whitespace.
  3. Removing leading and trailing whitespace.
  4. Converting to lowercase.
  5. Replacing any whitespace or repeated dashes with single dashes.

例子:

>>> slugify(' Joel is a slug ')
'joel-is-a-slug'

If you want to allow Unicode characters, pass allow_unicode=True. For example:

>>> slugify('你好 World', allow_unicode=True)
'你好-world'

django.utils.timezoneP

utcP

tzinfo instance that represents UTC.

class FixedOffset(offset=None, name=None)[源代码]P

A tzinfo subclass modeling a fixed offset from UTC. offset is an integer number of minutes east of UTC.

2.2 版后已移除: Use datetime.timezone instead.

get_fixed_timezone(offset)[源代码]P

Returns a tzinfo instance that represents a time zone with a fixed offset from UTC.

offset is a datetime.timedelta or an integer number of minutes. Use positive values for time zones east of UTC and negative values for west of UTC.

get_default_timezone()[源代码]P

Returns a tzinfo instance that represents the default time zone.

get_default_timezone_name()[源代码]P

Returns the name of the default time zone.

get_current_timezone()[源代码]P

Returns a tzinfo instance that represents the current time zone.

get_current_timezone_name()[源代码]P

Returns the name of the current time zone.

activate(timezone)[源代码]P

Sets the current time zone. The timezone argument must be an instance of a tzinfo subclass or a time zone name.

deactivate()[源代码]P

Unsets the current time zone.

override(timezone)[源代码]P

This is a Python context manager that sets the current time zone on entry with activate(), and restores the previously active time zone on exit. If the timezone argument is None, the current time zone is unset on entry with deactivate() instead.

override is also usable as a function decorator.

localtime(value=None, timezone=None)[源代码]P

Converts an aware datetime to a different time zone, by default the current time zone.

When value is omitted, it defaults to now().

This function doesn't work on naive datetimes; use make_aware() instead.

localdate(value=None, timezone=None)[源代码]P

Uses localtime() to convert an aware datetime to a date() in a different time zone, by default the current time zone.

When value is omitted, it defaults to now().

This function doesn't work on naive datetimes.

now()[源代码]P

Returns a datetime that represents the current point in time. Exactly what's returned depends on the value of USE_TZ:

  • If USE_TZ is False, this will be a naive datetime (i.e. a datetime without an associated timezone) that represents the current time in the system's local timezone.
  • If USE_TZ is True, this will be an aware datetime representing the current time in UTC. Note that now() will always return times in UTC regardless of the value of TIME_ZONE; you can use localtime() to get the time in the current time zone.
is_aware(value)[源代码]P

Returns True if value is aware, False if it is naive. This function assumes that value is a datetime.

is_naive(value)[源代码]P

Returns True if value is naive, False if it is aware. This function assumes that value is a datetime.

make_aware(value, timezone=None, is_dst=None)[源代码]P

Returns an aware datetime that represents the same point in time as value in timezone, value being a naive datetime. If timezone is set to None, it defaults to the current time zone.

The pytz.AmbiguousTimeError exception is raised if you try to make value aware during a DST transition where the same time occurs twice (when reverting from DST). Setting is_dst to True or False will avoid the exception by choosing if the time is pre-transition or post-transition respectively.

The pytz.NonExistentTimeError exception is raised if you try to make value aware during a DST transition such that the time never occurred (when entering into DST). Setting is_dst to True or False will avoid the exception by moving the hour backwards or forwards by 1 respectively. For example, is_dst=True would change a nonexistent time of 2:30 to 1:30 and is_dst=False would change the time to 3:30.

make_naive(value, timezone=None)[源代码]P

Returns a naive datetime that represents in timezone the same point in time as value, value being an aware datetime. If timezone is set to None, it defaults to the current time zone.

django.utils.translationP

For a complete discussion on the usage of the following see the translation documentation.

The u prefix on the functions below comes from a difference in Python 2 between unicode and bytestrings. If your code doesn't support Python 2, use the functions without the u.

gettext(message)[源代码]P
ugettext(message)P

Translates message and returns it as a string.

pgettext(context, message)[源代码]P

Translates message given the context and returns it as a string.

For more information, see Contextual markers.

gettext_lazy(message)P
ugettext_lazy(message)P
pgettext_lazy(context, message)P

Same as the non-lazy versions above, but using lazy execution.

See lazy translations documentation.

gettext_noop(message)[源代码]P
ugettext_noop(message)P

Marks strings for translation but doesn't translate them now. This can be used to store strings in global variables that should stay in the base language (because they might be used externally) and will be translated later.

ngettext(singular, plural, number)[源代码]P
ungettext(singular, plural, number)P

Translates singular and plural and returns the appropriate string based on number.

npgettext(context, singular, plural, number)[源代码]P

Translates singular and plural and returns the appropriate string based on number and the context.

ngettext_lazy(singular, plural, number)[源代码]P
ungettext_lazy(singular, plural, number)P
npgettext_lazy(context, singular, plural, number)[源代码]P

Same as the non-lazy versions above, but using lazy execution.

See lazy translations documentation.

activate(language)[源代码]P

Fetches the translation object for a given language and activates it as the current translation object for the current thread.

deactivate()[源代码]P

Deactivates the currently active translation object so that further _ calls will resolve against the default translation object, again.

deactivate_all()[源代码]P

Makes the active translation object a NullTranslations() instance. This is useful when we want delayed translations to appear as the original string for some reason.

override(language, deactivate=False)[源代码]P

A Python context manager that uses django.utils.translation.activate() to fetch the translation object for a given language, activates it as the translation object for the current thread and reactivates the previous active language on exit. Optionally, it can simply deactivate the temporary translation on exit with django.utils.translation.deactivate() if the deactivate argument is True. If you pass None as the language argument, a NullTranslations() instance is activated within the context.

override is also usable as a function decorator.

check_for_language(lang_code)[源代码]P

Checks whether there is a global language file for the given language code (e.g. 'fr', 'pt_BR'). This is used to decide whether a user-provided language is available.

get_language()[源代码]P

Returns the currently selected language code. Returns None if translations are temporarily deactivated (by deactivate_all() or when None is passed to override()).

get_language_bidi()[源代码]P

Returns selected language's BiDi layout:

  • False = left-to-right layout
  • True = right-to-left layout
get_language_from_request(request, check_path=False)[源代码]P

Analyzes the request to find what language the user wants the system to show. Only languages listed in settings.LANGUAGES are taken into account. If the user requests a sublanguage where we have a main language, we send out the main language.

If check_path is True, the function first checks the requested URL for whether its path begins with a language code listed in the LANGUAGES setting.

get_supported_language_variant(lang_code, strict=False)[源代码]P
New in Django 2.1:

Returns lang_code if it's in the LANGUAGES setting, possibly selecting a more generic variant. For example, 'es' is returned if lang_code is 'es-ar' and 'es' is in LANGUAGES but 'es-ar' isn't.

If strict is False (the default), a country-specific variant may be returned when neither the language code nor its generic variant is found. For example, if only 'es-co' is in LANGUAGES, that's returned for lang_codes like 'es' and 'es-ar'. Those matches aren't returned if strict=True.

Raises LookupError if nothing is found.

to_locale(language)[源代码]P

Turns a language name (en-us) into a locale name (en_US).

templatize(src)[源代码]P

Turns a Django template into something that is understood by xgettext. It does so by translating the Django translation tags into standard gettext function invocations.

LANGUAGE_SESSION_KEYP

Session key under which the active language for the current session is stored.
