I am trying to open an xml file, manipulate and render to response or download file from url. I am doing to return multiple objects, when I say print after for loop, in terminal I see every requested objects comes but when I say return only single object comes both to requested url and to terminal.Here is my code;
def xml(request):
filename = "/usr/..../...."
programs = x.objects.all()
categories = y.objects.all()
with open(filename,'r+') as f:
old = f.read()
for m,k in itertools.product(categories,programs):
if k.name_tr == m.name_tr:
s = old.replace ('titlesss',k.name_tr,1)
j= k.introduction_tr
decoded = BeautifulStoneSoup(j, convertEntities=BeautifulStoneSoup.HTML_ENTITIES)
x =str(decoded)
x = unicode(x,"utf-8")
s = s.replace ("infosss",x,1)
if m.id == 310:
s = s.replace('idsss',"231",1)
elif m.id == 308:
s = s.replace ('idsss',"230",1)
elif m.id == 159:
s = s.replace ('idsss',"203",1)
elif m.id == 163:
s = s.replace ('idsss',"204",1)
elif m.id == 280:
s = s.replace ('idsss',"212",1)
elif m.id == 157:
s = s.replace ('idsss',"202",1)
elif m.id == 282:
s = s.replace ('idsss',"211",1)
response = HttpResponse(s,mimetype ="application/force-download")
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=output.xml'
return response
Once a function 'returns' it terminates. Therefore, your for loop only executes once. You might want to replace the 'return' with an 'yield', thus your function becoming a generator that yields a response at each iteration of the for loop.
