authentication - Django: CSRF check only when certain conditions apply -


i have simple rest api needs accessible both web app remote service.

the remote service authenticated via custom http header containing api key.

how can protect api such requests web browser csrf protected, csrf check not done when authenticated via api key? or, in general, how can enable csrf protection requests on specific view, not others?

currently, have decorator checks request api key , authenticates api user way:

# regular auth if request.user.is_authenticated():     # csrf verification, continue calling view  elif 'http_x_api_key' in request.meta:     api_key = request.meta['http_x_api_key']     user = authenticate(username=settings.api_user_name, password=api_key)     login(request, user)     # if user authenticated , autzorized, continue calling view     # without invoking csrf protection

the problem stated is, want csrf protection regular users, not api user.

okay, after bit more of tinkering around, solution disable csrf middleware , enable csrf_protect cases csrf protection required.

this works in special case of api, every call being decorated anyway, risk of view being forgotten negligible.

what not work however, other way around, using csrf_exempt. problem there decorator sets csrf_exempt property on view, which, if have multiple decorators, may masked again, if use functools.wraps.

also, since csrf_exempt puts property on view, cannot dynamically enabled or disabled based on request's content - it's static thing do.

opencv - DataType<cv::detail::deriv_type>::depth what is it used for -

i wondering why line used in lucas kanade tracker in opencv: datatype<cv::detail::deriv_type>::depth can explain me? in opencv, depth of mat refers type of data contained in mat 's data buffer. represented integer values correspond given data type. these integers commonly abstracted appropriate macro definition (e.g. uchar data represented macro cv_8u ). cv::datatype type-traits class provides method obtain corresponding integer value without having memorize macro means data type. there few cases user code needs use datatype::depth . more common datatype::type . a simple example shows 1 possible use of datatype::depth : cv::mat uchar_data = cv::mat::ones(3, 3, cv_8uc1); cv::mat float_data; uchar_data.convertto(float_data, cv::datatype<float>::depth); // ^^ equivalently replaced // cv_32f macro float_data.at<float>(0,1) += 0.5f; std::cout << float_data << std::endl;...

python 3.x - Mapping specific letters onto a list of words -

can please suggest approach write piece of codes automatically maps letter in letter_str onto dic_key (a dict key string type contains dashes match length of words in word_lst)? so, mapping occurs if letter appears in every words in list @ same position no matter how many words in list. if no letter appears @ position words in word list new_dic_key '----'. please see examples below thanks word_lst = ['ague', 'bute', 'byre', 'came', 'case', 'doze'] dic_key = '----' letters_str ='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' new_dic_key = '---e' if word_list = ['bute', 'byre'] new_dic_key = 'b--e' or word_list = ['drek', 'drew', 'dyes'] new_dic_key = 'd-e-' if words in word_list of same length code give want: word_list = ['drek', 'drew', 'dyes'] cols = [] in range(len(word_list[0])): cols.append([]) word in ...
