no, i'm saying that you're making a lot of work for yourself, when deploying the code that has already been written which is suitable precisely and exactly for not only the purpose you describe but also in the *exact* same environment that you describe (django), would do precisely the job that you need and would save you a vast amount of arseing about. thus, given the requirements, and given that there exists a solution, i haven't commented on (and won't, sorry) the debugging that you're doing because it is a non-optimal path. if you choose to stick to the non-optimal path, feel free to explore that space for as long as you find it useful to do so, and, should you find the solution please do let us know. if however you choose to listen to my advice and take the more optimal path, i will go out of my way to make sure that you succeed with it. l.
