You can install django-tracking which provides following features -

  1. Tracks the following information about your visitors:
    Session key
    IP address
    User agent
    Whether or not they are a registered user and logged in
    Where they came from (http-referer)
    What page on your site they last visited
    How many pages on your site they have visited
    Allows user-agent filtering for visitor tracking

  2. Automatic clean-up of old visitor records
    Can ban certain IP addresses, rendering the site useless to visitors from those IP's (great for stopping spam)

  3. The ability to have a live feed of active users on your website

  4. Template tags to:
    display how many active users there are on your site (THIS IS WHAT YOU R ASKING)
    determine how many active users are on the same page within your site
    Optional "Active Visitors Map" to see where visitors are in the world

I already tried this but am not able to install this package: i am getting this error.
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting CACHES, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.
Its clearly saying that You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

Better if you could raise a fresh question, with proper info what you are trying to achieve, what is the problem, what is the error and what is expected. People should be able to help you.

I am trying to learn Django. My initial exercise seems fine. I want to create an API with REST on Django for an interactive Python code. REST framework on Django I am understanding more or less.

I am looking for a simple example to start with. I am using Python 2.7+ on MS-Windows 7 Professional.

If any one may kindly suggest.

Is it possible to display a data grid table with django? Basically I am looking for displaying a data from the db table on the web interface through django or some other web interface.

My main application is in Python, that's why I'd like to explore Python possibilities first.
