I think what i actually want is a form set, but I don't find that all that well done either. What I'm finding lacking is the ability to put a master/detail relationship in a single form. For instance, Author/Books. Furthermore, I don't see a nice way to work with dynamically expanding forms

Hi, I have ported some haml concepts to Python in my implementation of SHPAML. Details here: http://shpaml.webfactional.com/ For those of you not aware of haml, haml is a markup language implemented in Ruby that allows you to eliminate end tags in HTML. Like Python itself, haml and SHPAML use

Lately I have really liked using custom template tags for these sorts of queries. Once you get the hang of writing them, it's very quick to build a little library of queries in custom tags for your application. These are *very* convenient to use because you don't have to modify views.py -- or

Feeds from the Tag Framework

Hi Folks, The complex example of an Atom feed (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/contrib/syndication/#a-complex-example) is based on a model where it's possible to work out from a single element in the feed (in this case a Crime), what the driving object is (a Beat). So there's a

Result is stored in request.POST (or you can do same with get params, ?foo=one=two). for example request.POST.getlist('foo'). Default getitem implementation returns only last occurence from list. See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/request-response/#querydict-objectsfor more info.
