Hello,
I have just started developing with Django on Apache and have ran into
a very annoying issue that I can not seem to find the answer to.
I set variables in my views and some get updated through the template
immediately and others do not. I have to wait 15 seconds for the page
to refresh.
A simple view from the Django Book.
def form_letter(request):
warranty = True
return render_to_response('form_letter.html',
{'person_name': 'John Smith',
'company': 'Super Lawn Mower',
'ship_date': datetime.datetime.now(),
'ordered_warranty': warranty,
'item_list': ['Blade', 'Hat', 'Saw',
'Gas Can']
}
)
I have a condition in the Template to toggle some output based on
warranty.
The date will update every time I click the refresh button, but once
the warranty information has been set it does not matter what I do in
the view. If I change the view from True to False or False to True I
have to wait 15 seconds before the page will refresh with the contents
of the view. What's confuses me is that the date will change. If I
change the warranty from True to False and refresh the page, the date
will update every time, but the warranty will not update till I wait
for the mystical timeout period to expire.
It's painful to develop this way. Apparently this does not happen on
Django development server, but I didn't see any need to use this since
I have an apache server dedicated for development.
This site shows the issue, but I am still new to Django, so I am not
fully understanding his solution.

If someone could explain what is going on and post a work around, I
would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
