I'm sorry if I gave that impression, but it really wasn't my intention. The talk was titled "Django Heresies" partly because I wanted to emphasize that it was NOT a discussion of Django's intended future - it was more an exploration of things which one person (me) thought we should reconsider as a community and open up for further discussion. It was meant to be controversial! > Simon has not justified why his particular preference for imports > necessarily meets even the common case and why he, or somebody else, > cannot put their own choices for common imports into a single that they > import (pretty normal "reduce repetition" pattern in Python). All I was saying is that I find myself repeating the same imports at the top of every views.py - and wondering if there's a better option. For my own projects I inevitably end up creating my own shortcuts.py module. I wish I didn't have to. As an aside, I've been experimenting with the single import pattern (which I rather like, but everyone else seems to hate) in djng: http://github.com/simonw/djng/blob/953eb33390972cbdd0ac0a52e3b23bfdd55e2cfe/example_forms.py Cheers, Simon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
