The purpose of this form is to let users enter a lot of places (comma separated) and it'll retrieve the phone, name, website. Have it working in a python IDE, no problem, but having issues putting it into my webapp.
I'm getting the error Exception Value: Can't pickle local object 'GetNums.<locals>.get_data' at the line where a is assigned. I checked the type of inputText and verified that it is indeed a list. So, I'm not sure why it won't pickle.
def GetNums(request):
form = GetNumsForm(request.POST or None)
if form.is_valid():
inputText = form.cleaned_data.get('getnums')
# all experimental
inputText = inputText.split(',')
def get_data(i):
#DON'T FORGET TO MOVE THE PRIMARY KEY LATER TO SETTINGS
r1 = requests.get('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=' + i + '&key=GET_YOUR_OWN')
a = r1.json()
pid = a['results'][0]['place_id']
r2 = requests.get('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=' + pid + '&key=GET_YOUR_OWN')
b = r2.json()
phone = b['result']['formatted_phone_number']
name = b['result']['name']
try:
website = b['result']['website']
except:
website ='No website found'
return ' '.join((phone, name, website))
v = str(type(inputText))
with Pool(5) as p:
a = (p.map(get_data, inputText))
# for line in p.map(get_data, inputText):
# print(line)

return render(request, 'about.html', {'v': a})
