Hello Django devs, The issue of making shortcuts better (and decreasing the number of imports in views.py files) was brought up at DjangoCon, and now that 1.1 is out the door, I would like to spark some discussion on what direction (if any) Django should take on the subject. (Relevant video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1Qr9rSBGBE&feature=PlayList&p=D415FAF806EC47A1&index=2#t=36m15s)
If you watch the video, there was some disagreement with the idea right from the start. The ticket that grew out of that part of the discussion is #8950, and has been marked Someday/Maybe. You may also want to reference #9081, where I have been discussing the issue with Chris Cahoon and Malcolm. But, just to be explicit, I don't want to limit the discussion just to that patch, or to render_to_response or any particular shortcut. First, we should discuss the larger issue of whether technically unnecessary code (which is what any shortcut is) should be allowed into Django, in my opinion. I am in favor of expanding shortcuts, if it's not obvious already. Now, somebody disagree! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
