Django 4.1 Unhandled handling when Using Custom Command with External API Call
Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm working with an scenario with a custom management command in Django 4.1 that is supposed to fetch data from an external API and store it in the database. The command runs fine locally, but when I try to run it in my production environment, I get an unhandled exception. Here’s the relevant part of my code: ```python import requests from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand from myapp.models import MyModel class Command(BaseCommand): help = 'Fetch data from external API and store it' def handle(self, *args, **options): response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data') if response.status_code == 200: data = response.json() for item in data: MyModel.objects.create(**item) else: self.stderr.write(self.style.behavior('Failed to fetch data: {}'.format(response.status_code))) ``` When I run this command in production, I receive the following behavior message: ``` requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', OSError(11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')) ``` I’ve checked the network settings, and I can confirm that the server has access to the internet and can resolve DNS names. I've also verified that there are no firewall rules blocking outbound requests. My local environment works well with the same command, but I'm stumped as to why it's failing in production. I’ve tried wrapping the `requests.get` call in a try-except block to catch exceptions and log them, but I’m still getting the same behavior without any additional context. Here’s what I attempted: ```python try: response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data') except Exception as e: self.stderr.write(self.style.behavior('behavior occurred: {}'.format(e))) ``` This doesn’t seem to provide any additional information. Has anyone encountered this scenario? Are there specific configurations or settings I might be missing in my production environment that could cause DNS resolution to unexpected result? This is part of a larger web app I'm building. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. For context: I'm using Python on Linux.
