question about django-pagination

In the django-pagination, it uses the example: {% autopaginate object_list %} My question is does object_list have to be the **entire** list over which I want to paginate, or can I limit the length of object_list? If I limit the length of object_list, will autopaginate still go through the entire

SQL transaction style in django?

Hi, I read that we can overwrite the save() for any model to do something before/after its save. But my issue is, how can I be sure that what i save + what the model needs to save happen as a transaction, so if either fails, the whole thing fails. Example. I want to keep a total inventory count

I am reading the django book. I just finished the chapter on authentication. I get the jist of it. What I don't understand is the overall security of authentication. If everything you do is passed as plain text then it isn't very secure. Okay so https comes in. What I don't understand is when to

Rails-style form value deserializer?

One thing I'm keenly missing from rails is the form input naming convention that causes the form values to be converted into a hierarchy. For instance, will result in the request values being stored as { 'foo' : {'bar' : 'one', 'baz' : 'two' }} this is very handy when updating multiple

Correct way to unlazify a SimpleLazyObject?

I recently got burned by r11626, which added SimpleLazyObject to 1.1.x. I have a templatetag that linkifies a user-object, and it checks whether it is given a django.contrib.auth.models.User, an int (looks up a User) or a profile (looks up the User). This check was done with type(). Unfortunately,

I can't promise that it will do what you want, but your problem is that at the time you try to set the value of Meta.ordering, class Substrate does not yet exist. You can dig into the Substrate.objects._meta later to add ordering, probably. Your design wouldn't have worked anyway, since
