Re: Exceptions documention - #6842
The precise location is probably in ref/ although perhaps jacob could give a better answer. More importantly the way links are done has been changed, check out this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/documentation/ for more info, also look at other docs for examples, or ask here or in IRC.

Exceptions documention - #6842
Hi, I grabbed ticket #6842 and added a patch that has some documentation for the exceptions Django raises since I needed some of this info:) The file I added, exceptions.txt is not in the right folder after the docs refactor landed between my starting the patch last week and today. I don't know where to put it with the new layout, but moving it is trivial. Also, all the information in it may not be perfect, I did the best I could. This is my first contribution to Django and I am very happy to find a place to help. So I would really appreciate any constructive criticism on the patch. BTW, I am sorry about the timing. I expect this to be post-1.0, I just wanted to get this email out while it was still fresh in my mind.

Re: Composite Primary Keys
Well for one thing, if one of the columns happens to be named "ID", we should use that for the relatedfields lookup column and that is that. (BTW, does your approach allow the Django supplied ID field to be combined with some other field(s) to make a multi-column key? This would be bang up for future partitioning support.) Next I would suggest adding a meta model column designation like "id_field" to specify a field to use for related classes. This might be a good "80/20" solution that could serve for an initial test version.

Re: Composite Primary Keys
What I had briefly discussed with malcom was using ordered tuples but
switching up the defaults to use actualy field lookups.
MyModel.objects.get(pk=(1, 2)) or MyModel.objects.get(foo=1, bar=2)
If we could come up with some design for multi-column fields I'm wiling to
put in the work.

I think the best (and the only one right) solution involves adding
multicolumn fields to Django and doing lookups with some syntax like
Model.objects.get(pk=('foo', 1)). There are other hackish approaches,
like using hash(tuple(pk[0], pk[1], ..., pk[n])) as foreign key, that
could work. However, I won't rely on them, since I'm not sure if
hash() implementation is guaranteed to be kept as is.
On other related point, what's the status of multicolumn fields?

Re: Composite Primary Keys
Really I'm stuck at an architectural point. I have database validation and synchronization done, and the admin is working. What is left is more or less handling relatedfield lookups. The issue is, that field's are designed to reference more than one field, so it's a tough design deicision to make on how that should be approached.

First, we'll release security fixes at least until the 1.2 release, and possibly longer if someone is interested enough to volunteer to help us backport fixes. This'll probably happen; it's not a large amount of work. However: is there anything we can do to get an exception for 1.0 in Lenny? I know bupkiss about the Debian process, but obviously getting 1.0 into Lenny would be pretty sweet for us. If there's anything I can do to help make that happen, please point me in the right direction!

So 0.96 will certainly still get security fixes even after 1.0 is released. I believe that means fixes go into trunk, current latest release, and the 2 previous.

Policy regarding security support for 0.96
Hello, I am a member of the Debian Python Modules Team and have been heavily involved in the transition to Django 1.0 in Debian (1.0~beta2 is about to be uploaded to experimental). As you might know, 1.0 will come too late for Debian Lenny (unless we will get a freeze exception which at this time seems rather unlikely). Since Security is important to Debian, I wondered if there is a policy as to how long old stable releases (in this case 0.96) will receive security support. All my best, David Spreen P.S.: I do not speak on behalf of the Debian Project or the Debian Python Modules Team.

The last push to 1.0
Hi folks -- Right, so this is it. We've got about a week until the scheduled release of Django 1.0, and the milestone shows 86 open tickets. It's time to put our heads down and get this release out. A few notes: We're not in complete and total feature freeze. This means that the only things we should be working on for the next week are fixing true, verified bugs. This also means that if you report a feature request, it'll get automatically pushed to post-1.0 regardless of the merits. We're also in string freeze so that translators have the next week to get their translations as complete as possible. Any string marked for translation cannot be changed. This means that if you're working on a patch that touches translated strings, we'll ask you to write around them. Don't expect to see much activity from the core developers on the community lists and channels. If there's something that needs attention from one of us, make a note and repost in about two weeks if we've not gotten back to you by then. I, at least, am going to pretty much ignore the mailing lists for the next weekish while we get this release out. Finally, keep in mind that although "1.0" seems huge -- mostly since we've been working on it for so long -- it's only the *first* of what I expect to be an increasingly awesome set of releases. 1.0 will be missing quite a few things we've had to put off, but 1.1 will be even better, and 1.2 will kick the crap out of 1.1. So let's do the best we can, but remember that it'll only get better from here!

MultiDb status ?
Hi, Thinking about switching from a homemade framework to django, I took a look a the MultiDatabaseSupport stuff (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/MultipleDatabaseSupport ). The related code seems to be 2 years old, is this branch still in development ? I also noticed that the DB parameters are "statically" defined in the settings. I'm actually looking for the ability to connect to a database "on the fly" according to session-related data; would it be possible without too much adapting work ? The aim is to have a separate database (with the same schema) for each customer account in my app, the customer id being extracted from a session variable. I'm currently using my own db manager: attaching & detaching databases (SQLite, MySQL), cross-db requests, etc... but django's models are so amazing I'd like to lighten my app with it :) -- Romain --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.

I suppose this just serves to highlight that there are two types of testing that need to be performed - application tests and integration tests. While the unittest framework is certainly well suited to application testing, in a (semi) controlled environment like a Django project it can also be quite useful for integration testing. In a complete system, both forms of testing are required, which means a complete reusable application should have two tests: 1) a test that the views work as expected when a known correct template is provided 2) a test that the view works as expected with the template that has been provided by the project (which is also a test that the required templates are available). The self-contained approach to testing is essentially case (1). This is fine, but you still need to write a test for (2). A well written 'template external' test _should_ validate both cases when it passes. There are some weakness to this argument - if you get a failure, it doesn't help you narrow down if the problem is your template or the application logic, and there is the outside possibility that a bad template could somehow cause the test to pass (although I can't think of an easy way that this would happen) - but as a general argument, it should hold. The failure case isn't that bad, though, because there are two people that will run the test - * The application developer * The end user The application developer should have a good set of templates in their test harness (such as Django's templates in the system test folder), and if a failure is observed, the app developer is in the best position to sort out the source of the failure. End users should be able to trust their app providers to be testing and tagging releases only when tests pass; if an end user is seeing a failure, it's a reasonable assumption that the failure is template related. As a side note, if the end user trusts their provider, there is almost no reason for the end user to run type (1) application tests (case in point - how often do non-core devs run the Django test suite? How often to Django core devs run the MySQL test suite?) Of course, the ideal solution would be a good answer for the problem of supporting both application and integration tests, but that's part of a much bigger discussion. >> but rev 8497 >> introduces a test only template directory [2] which >> >> a) causes the tests to pass in the absence of an actual login template >> (the provided template is not a default template, it's a test >> template); > > It also means the tests pass as a self-contained bundle to test the auth > app, rather than requiring a user using the auth app to have to set up > all these templates even if they're not using a particular piece of the > auth app just to have the tests pass. That's not a trivial concern. The missing piece here is something that I have raised in the discussion around #7611 - there will be tests that should be skipped as part of the suite if the feature they are testing isn't actually deployed in a project. For example, if you're not deploying the password change view you don't need to run tests that check that the password change view work is working correctly. Devin Naquin (from Disqus) did some initial work in this area around ticket #4788; I haven't had a chance to look into his patches yet, but it's on my todo list once we get 1.0 finished. > There is a middle ground here, which is that those auth-app templates > get moved to the Django's main test directory so that they're available > only to runtests.

Might be a trend to follow. To my mind, moving the templates to the django test directory is the right solution in this case. The Django system tests need to validate that the auth system works when the right templates are available, so it needs to provide those templates.
