Re: How to find the file / directory which is hidden?

[Pradnya]

Hello Praveen,

Thanks for you reply
I tried with following script and it worked

import win32file
import win32con

int a = win32file.GetFileAttributes("C:\\TestFiles\\r.txt") &
win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN

win32file.GetFileAttributes("C:\\TestFiles\\r.txt")  will return 32 if
the file is without any special attributes.
34 in case the file is only hidden
35 if the file is hidden and readonly

finally int a will be 2 if the file is hidden or does not  exist and 0
if the file exists and not readonly.

Calling the same views, displaying in different templates

[rvidal]

Hi,

I have a database of related data connected via foreign keys. One to
many relationships between one table and various other tables.

Random example:
Client
- id
- name
- age

Receipts
- id
- client (fk)
- timestamp

Contacts
- id
- client (fk)
- timestamp

I have my urls.py looking something like this:
urlpatterns = patterns('mysites.shop.views',
(r'^$', 'index'),
(r'^client/(?P\d+)/$', 'details'),
(r'^client/(?P\d+)/receipts/$', 'receipts'),
(r'^client/(?P\d+)/contacts/$', 'contacts'),
)

I have similar data displayed on my details, receipts and contacts
page because they are related. So I show in the main content div the
client details and receipts and contacts in side bar on the details
view, then I swap the relevant section to the main div depending on
the view I want.

The thing here is that I basically just use the same view function,
but move things around in the template. Should I be repeating the
views and creating a template for each situation?

Here's what my views.py looks like (continuing with random example):
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404
from lymphoma.ldata.models import Patient, Pathology

def index(request):
client_list = Clients.objects.all().order_by('-timestamp')
return render_to_response('shop/index.html', {'client_list':
client_list})

def details(request, client_id):
c = Clients.objects.get(pk=client_id)
receipt_list = c.receipts_set.all()
contacts_list = c.contacts_set.all()
return render_to_response('shop/details.html', {'client': c,
'receipt_list': receipt_list, 'ccontact_list': contact_list})

def receipts(request, client_id):
c = Clients.objects.get(pk=client_id)
receipt_list = c.receipts_set.all()
contacts_list = c.contacts_set.all()
return render_to_response('shop/receipts.html', {'client': c,
'receipt_list': receipt_list, 'ccontact_list': contact_list})

def receipts(request, client_id):
c = Clients.objects.get(pk=client_id)
receipt_list = c.receipts_set.all()
contacts_list = c.contacts_set.all()
return render_to_response('shop/contacts.html', {'client': c,
'receipt_list': receipt_list, 'ccontact_list': contact_list})


Note that all I change in these views is the template.

So, what am I doing wrong here? What I currently have works, but I'm
sure I'm not proceeding properly.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Ricardo

PyAmf+Django and foreign keys

[Jurassic]

Guys, can you please share your approach to handle complex models
where each model has a ForeignKey to another? I am trying to build a
flex app using RemoteObject and [RemoteClass(alias=...)] flex feature
to map flex VO to django data models.
Here's an approximate scenario I'm working with:
---
class Model1(models.Model):
 ...
class Model2(models.Model):
  model1=ForeignKey(Model1)
  ...
class Model3(models.Model):
  model2=ForeignKey(Model2)
  ...
class Model4(models.Model):
  model3=ForeignKey(Model3)
  ...
--
What do I do to save a single object of Model4? Django complains if
"model3" field is null, so I have to have a Model3 object assigned to
it. Same with Model3 - "model2" field must be populated, so far so
forth. So, for saving one object I have to push all related objects
from flex to django. Is there any way around this? All that  django
needs is just an ID of the related model, not the whole darn object.
How do you guys deal with this?

Thank you much in advance.

complex form

[mu]

Hi all,
   I have a question about complex form.
   There are my models:

 class Country(models.Model):
 name = models.CharField(max_length=30)

 class Author(models.Model):
 name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
 age = models.IntegerField()
 email = models.EmailField()
 country = models.ForeignKey(Country)

 class Book(models.Model):
 title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
 author = models.ForeignKey(Author)
 price = models.FloatField()
 publication_date = models.DateField()

   I want to display a page like this:
 display a author input form on top of the page, display a book input
form on bottom of the page.

   Validations:
 When the author's name is 'mbs', the book's price must greater than 12.
 When the author's country is 'japan', the book's publication_date
must be '2010-6-30'

   Now what i do is:
 a form holds all fields of Author and Book, but i found it is
redundant when  set values

   Is there a convenient and Pythonnic way to achieve this?

   Thanks

Re: Override Delete Function

[Ian Lewis]

Tom,

You could try doing this clear logic in a pre_delete signal. You might have
to test out the timing of when the signals get called but it should call
pre_delete for all deleted models. In this case it would call pre_delete on
model2 before model1 but you should be able to get what you are looking for.

I think the semi-official Django book is where most people start. It's
available online and currently covers 1.1 (at least according to chapter 1).

The best practices for Django would be to break functionality for these
features into seperate "applications" in Django speak. See: Writing your
first Django app: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

The part where you start creating models is where you actually create a
Django "application" using the "startapp" command..
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/#id3

That said, there are a number of applications that are written by others
that you should be able to use right out of the box for most of your
functionality.

tags: http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/
open-id: http://github.com/simonw/django-openid
avatar: http://github.com/ericflo/django-avatar
ajax-form: http://github.com/alex/django-ajax-validation
twitter api: http://code.google.com/p/oauth-python-twitter/ (or you can use
my fork with some bug fixes:
http://bitbucket.org/IanLewis/oauth-python-twitter/)

Django Newbie seeking for advice

[Mister Yu]

Hi experts,

i m a newbie and i m self learning django and writing an web app as i
go along. i learn django by following this great screencast tutorial
from here: http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/series?name=PPN7NA155
called Django From the Ground-up.

it's a really great serious of tutorial. however it doesn't cover what
i/everybody else' need. so i come here for some advice from you
experts:

1. can you suggest an up-to-date(django 1.1) book which can guide a
newbie to a higher level? ebook is ok, free is more than ok  :)

best practice for the following things under django 1.1, (i tried
google, but some of the material might not fit for 1.1 anymore), you
can just name a library or which built-in module is best, as these are
the features in my mind for my little project
2. tags
3. open-id
4. user avatar
5. ajax form
6. twitter api

thanks very much in advance for any kind of advice.

Cheers!

Django 1.2 addresses this; the default verbosity for the "no fixtures
found" message has been decreased, so you should see the message at
the default verbosity.

This change hasn't been backported back to 1.1 because it's not strictly a bug.

Override Delete Function

[cootetom]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the way django deletes models so that I
can clear the correct references that I need to prior to deleting. So
I have models set up with overrided delete functions so that I can do
clears before the actual delete. However, it appears the delete
functions in a model don't get called in the cascade of deletes so not
each child model gets to do it's clear of linked data before
deleting.

def model1(models.Model):
def delete(self):
self.related_model.clear()
super(model1, self).delete()

def model2(models.Model):
model2 = models.ForeignKey(model2)

def delete(self):
self.another_related_model.clear()
super(model2, self).delete()


So if I do model1.delete() then it will do it's clear but it appears
it won't do the clear from model2? Am I getting this behaviour right
or am I doing something wrong here?

The model class seems like the best place to put delete logic in so
that when it's deleted it clears any data it needs to first.

I'm still not sure if you are talking about test output or debug pages. (I
didn't suggest posting your actual output someplace so I could help debug
this specific problem, I suggested it so that I could start to get some
context to give me some clue what problem, exactly, you are talking about.)

I have an ubuntu vm already set up on my mac, so I can try this.
Ultimately though, it's more likely that I would be looking to deploy
on mac servers, so I guess I need to get the mac side sorted out. But
thank you for the suggestion.

[bax...@gretschpages.com]

Without seeing the traceback, this is all just guessing--stabbing in
the dark. But...

a) posting a traceback allows people to actually help not only solve
the problem, but help show how to read the traceback.

b) commenting out template code may have suppressed the problem, but
that still doesn't mean the problem was actually in the template.
Template tags, for example, can throw errors.

Re: How to pass context with a form?

[BrendanC]

Replying to my own message - problem solved - ignore previous posting!

I forgot to include my variables in my response
so expected values were not being passed - I was doing this:

variables = RequestContext(request, {
'form': form,
'caller': caller,
'error': error
})

   return render_to_response('search.html')

instead of:

variables = RequestContext(request, {
'form': form,
'caller': caller,
'error': error
})

return render_to_response('search.html', variables)

Just another brain fart at my end. Sometimes I just can't see the wood

done - by clamping out segments with {% comment %} until they isolated
the faulty lines.

I am asking _why_ I had to clamp out segments with {% comment %}. (In
test.)

Or do all of your see filenames and line numbers, for your .html
templates, at error time?

The admin uses a special widget for file fields, see
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.1.1/django/contrib/admin/widgets.py#L85.
That's what causes the existing value with link to be displayed in admin.

Browsers will not render an initial value for a file input, so as to prevent
malicious web sites from pre-filling such fields with values that may cause
upload of sensitive data if an unwitting user just presses OK or something
on a form. Thus if you want a file field to include information about an
already-existing value, you need to have the form display more than just the
plain file input that normally goes with a file field. You need something
like the admin's special widget (possibly you could just use the admin's
special widget directly, I have not looked at it closely enough to tell one
way or the other).

Re: installing Django / building a website

[Shawn Milochik]

First off, you should know Python a bit before you start trying to use Django. 
Otherwise you'll keep asking "how do I do X in Django," when what you really 
want to know is how to do it in Python.
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html

Secondly, start with the official documentation, which is really great:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/
The first two sets of links on the page are installation and the tutorial, 
which will get you started.

Thirdly, you need to be aware of the fact that, while this list contains some 
very generous and very smart people (and sometimes both at once), you're going 
to have to show a lot more effort around here to get help. Coming in and 
basically saying "I don't know how to do X" or "I got an error message" or "I 
have a problem in my code" will get you ignored -- or worse. So when you come 
in with a question, preface that question with what you have tried, what you 
expected and what you got instead of what you expected, and a good description 
of the problem. 

Pet peeve:
Also, don't use subject lines like "help" or "problem." They're worthless for 
others to figure out if they can or want to help you, and you should try to 
make that as easy on them as possible.

Re: what lines in the templates are culpable?

[bax...@gretschpages.com]

Again, without seeing the trace it's hard to say, but it sounds like
your error is happening well before it ever gets to the template,
making the template irrelevant.

If you posted some specifics of what you are actually seeing, someone might
be able to help. I mean, actually copy-paste the traceback into your post
(or put it someplace like dpaste.com and point to it).

I'm not entirely sure if you are talking about a debug page or test output,
for example. If I had some actual output to look at I might have a better
clue where to start.

One of the templates is "basket.html", and "basket.html" does not
appear in the transcript.

All the lines are only django's internal render() calls (including
inside debug.py), and our action handler itself.

The top line is the test method name.

(Also, manual test does not fail, so that naturally is on us, but I
think that's where you think the transcript might be more explicit.)

How to pass context with a form?

[BrendanC]

I have a reusable search form and want to display a different form
header based on where/how the search is called from (I get this from
the url). In the search template I'd like to test a variable to
determine which header to display. I need to somehow pass variable
from the view the template - something like this:

form = SearchForm({'Retired' :'Retired Staff''})

then in the search template check the Retired variable :


{% if Retired %}
  Search Retired Staff List.
{% endif %}


The generic search form class is"
class   SearchForm(forms.Form):

# Create a Search Form - set form header to value passed by
caller

query = forms.CharField(
label=u'Search by Employee ID ',
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size': 32})
)

The catch here is that the variable is not a field on the form. So how
can Ito pass context info at form creation time? Is this possible?

Re: get_comment_count templatetag

[bax...@gretschpages.com]

I'm not saying it's the best way, but I would either define my own
get_comment_count in my application's models.py that looped through
the ojbects comments (and their comments) to get an accurate count.

OR

I would store comment_count locally on the object and send a signal
when a comment is saved, something like (and excuse the pseudo-code)
if this.parent = object or this.parent.parent = object: comment.count
+= 1

Re: Problems with comment form customization ?

[bax...@gretschpages.com]

There are several ways you can do it, but probably the most
straightforward is how django does it in the first place:

{% for field in form %}
{% if field.is_hidden %}
  {{ field }}
{% else %}
  {% if field.errors %}{{ field.errors }}{% endif %}
  
{{ field.label_tag }} {{ field }}
  
{% endif %}
  {% endfor %}

Looping through the fields, and if the field is honeypot, setting
display:none

That's all in django/contrib/comments/templates/comments/form.html

Problems with comment form customization ?

[Ariel]

Hi everybody:

I am implementing comments functionalities in my web application, I am
making the documentation examples.
I have customized my comment form exaxtly like the documentation:

{% get_comment_form for document as form %}

  {{ form }}
  

  


But the thing is that a field that is suppossed to be hidden is
visible and that is what I don't want, the field name is 'honeypot'
This is a normal behavior ?
Do anyone of you know how to make that field hidden again ???
Thanks in advance.

File uploads not held on loaded Form

[phoebebright]

If you edit an item in admin, a files uploaded are displayed above the
input field.  But if the model form is loaded with an instance, the
form seems unaware that there may already be an uploaded file.  No
existing file is displayed and if the form is resaved, the uploaded
file link is lost.

Am populating the form like this: requestForm =
RequestForm(instance=comm)

get_comment_count templatetag

[fuxter]

hey everyone,
i'm a young django user and need some advice or opinions on the way of
general use.

in my application (blog-like site) i have objects and they can have
comments. i also decided to implement limited comment reply feature.
so the objects can have comments, and those comments can have comments
as well. it turn out to be one level nested comments. comments for
comments can't have replies.

at this point i'm stuck with get_comment_count template tag that
returns only object's comments count, naturally. and i need to count
all the replies altogether.

so my question is how would you do that? should i add a method to
commented object that would count all the replies? maybe i could hack
the comments/templatetags framework? or should i write my own
templatetag?

i guess all the options are pretty usable and they don't cross the
django way, which is very liberal. i just wanted to know you opinion,
what would you prefer?

ps: pardon my russian =)

Re: Queryset causes error on form validation

[Alastair Campbell]

To answer my own question, it looks like you can't do this:
class LinkForm(ModelForm):
   event = 
forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Event.objects.filter(start_date__lte=today).order_by('-start_date')[:15])

The limit (of 15) will be counted as another 'slice' when the form is validated.

I got around it by adding another (time based) filter, rather than
limiting by number.

Cheers,

-Alastair

Installing Djnajo/Python on IIS6

[Sohrab Hejazi]

We are currently installing the latest version of Django and Python on
IIS6. We have followed the instructions on the following site:

 http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoOnWindowsWithIISAndSQLServer
We are receiving a 403 error when trying to access our Django
application via the IIS server. We have verified the python
installation on IIS6 and it is working property. We have also verified
the Django installation. Our application runs fine under the built-in
Django server, but we are having difficulties getting it to run under
IIS.

We presume we could be getting errors from "Linking Django to

Need Example/Tutorial - building a datagrid into a django app built on Google AppEngine

[codingJoe]

Rookie programmer here, so please excuse if this is the wrong forum.

I have a simple app on Google Appengine that uses the built in django
template system.   This displays the data great, the forms, work etc.

What I really want is a way to edit the data within a table interface,
like a datagrid.  I have no idea how to do this, or where to begin.
The key is that it needs to display and modify objects in Google's
db.Model.

Advice?  Can someone point me to an example/or tutorial on how to do
this?

Thanks!

Using 2 different filtered inline formsets of the same table

[Tim Langeman]

I'd like to display 2 inline forms on the same page, which are
different filtered versions of the same table.

Screenshot of the page: 
http://static.mftransparency.org/media/misc/2-inline-filtered-formsets.png

I filter the queryset to limit the form to a subset of the table:

class DisbursementProductFeesFormSet(BaseInlineFormSet):
def get_queryset(self):
return
ProductFees.objects.filter(product=self.instance).filter(assessedAt=1)

class ContinuingProductFeesFormSet(BaseInlineFormSet):
   def get_queryset(self):
   return
ProductFees.objects.filter(product=self.instance).filter(assessedAt=2)

I am able to get the form to display using the following controller
code:

ProductFeesFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Product, ProductFees,
formset=DisbursementProductFeesFormSet, extra=2, max_num=2)
disbursementFeesFormset = ProductFeesFormSet(instance=data)

ContinuingFormset = inlineformset_factory(Product, ProductFees,
formset= ContinuingProductFeesFormSet, extra=2, max_num=2)
continuingFeesFormset = ContinuingFormset(instance=data)

But I have problems saving saving the forms individually, which I
theorize is because the fields on both forms are created with the same
field ids, as seen by this example for the description field:

  disbursement inline form:
id_productfees_set-0-description

  continuing inline form:
id_productfees_set-0-description

Is there a way that I can setup the two forms so that their field
names are different, or is there a better way to display two different
versions of the same table on the same form?

Re: manage.py loaddata silently fails

[Phlip]

> How do I access the error message?

In this case, turning on --verbosity=2 reveals a huge dump, and
tweezering through it reveals the fixture file was not found. (A
colleague bumped its app from the app list.)

It seems that "fixture not found" should be a fatal error, not a
silent warning. The fixtures= line also has this bug.

Re: determining if a one-to-many relation exists

[Nick Serra]

Welcome! You might just want to incorporate the answer into the
question model, and then do a boolean field for is_answered for quick
reference. The thought of multiple answers for one question seems odd,
and use of one-to-one fields isn't recommended, so i'd just keep it in
one model l)

Re: determining if a one-to-many relation exists

You could query like this:

Question.objects.filter(answer__isnull=False)

This would give you a set of questions where an answer exists. Setting
it to True would give you a set where answers don't exist.

querying on a field equal to a manytomany object

[Nick Serra]

Hey everyone, thanks for looking. I couldn't think of a good title for
this one. I have a question on queries on manytomany relations. Here
is an example:

class Item:
genre = models.ForeignKey(Genre)

class Genre:
name = models.CharField()

class Video:
genre = models.ManyToManyField(Genre)



Heres the situation.. I want to do a get() on item and find any items
where the item.genre is equal to one of the video's genres. A video
can have many genres.

My first thought was Item.objects.get(genre=video.genre.all()), but
this only works when there is only one genre selected for the video.
Is there any way to do this without doing an iteration on the videos
selected genres and testing each case?

I feel like i've accomplished this before, but I may just be having an
off day. Thanks!

Re: determining if a one-to-many relation exists

Just to clarify, I'm trying to filter questions that have an answer,
but I don't know the particular answer.  I just want to determine
whether or not an answer object exists, with the foreign key of this
question.

I could do

  Answer.objects.filter(question = my_question)

but I am filtering questions on a number of parameters, such as text
of the question.

Thanks,
Jim

determining if a one-to-many relation exists

Hi Djangoists,

I have a model "question" which has a one-to-many relationship with
"answer".

class Question(models.Model):
text = models.TextField()

class Answer(models.Model):
text = models.TextField()
question = models.ForeignKey(Question)

I can't figure out how to construct a filter that will give me

- just questions where there isn't an answer
- just questions where there is an answer

Is this really easy and I'm just not seeing it?

Thanks,
Jim

This is highly platform-specific, and by no way specific to Django
(IOW: should have post this to comp.lang.python).

On most unices, the convention is to prefix the file or directory name
with a dot, so it's quite easy. On Windows, I guess you'll have to use
the Win32 extensions (I failed to spot anything about this in the
stdlib).

Populating fields from the admin section

Hey,

I am wondering on how to populate list of items for a specific field
on model from the admin section of Django?

For ex,

class  cvdb(models.Model):
language = models.ManyToManyField(Language,
db_table='cm_cvdb_language',
verbose_name="languages")

I would like to populate "language" field options on the template.
Please advise me on how to do this. I am new to Django...I looked up
on forums outside of here but I cannot seem to find anything.

Please advise.

Thank you! (:  <3

[UPDATED] Re: django.views.generic.create_update : tags behavior

[m2k1983]

Hello,  I kind of found the answer;  for create_update generic view,
the framework create a ModelForm object 'form', but in package form,
class Field only has the following instance attributes. In particular,
why attribute label worked and others did not, can be explained.

In further tracing, why widget method worked is because the max_length
attribute of the CharField of the model has a special widget method,
which copies the max_length attribute into a 'attr' dictionary, which
is in turn used by the widget's render method.

Conclusion is (as of Django 1.1.1):  within a template,  variable tags
can access fields, but not their attributes, except for the label
attribute.

Question: Is this the intended behavior?

incl: excerpts of  /site-packages/django/forms/fields.py

class Field(object):
def __init__(self, required=True, widget=None, label=None,
initial=None,
 help_text=None, error_messages=None,
show_hidden_initial=False):
  """
   # required -- Boolean that specifies whether the field is
required.
# True by default.
# widget -- A Widget class, or instance of a Widget class,
that should
#   be used for this Field when displaying it. Each
Field has a
#   default Widget that it'll use if you don't specify
this. In
#   most cases, the default widget is TextInput.
# label -- A verbose name for this field, for use in
displaying this
#  field in a form. By default, Django will use a
"pretty"
#  version of the form field name, if the Field is
part of a
#  Form.
# initial -- A value to use in this Field's initial display.
This value
#is *not* used as a fallback if data isn't given.
# help_text -- An optional string to use as "help text" for
this Field.
# show_hidden_initial -- Boolean that specifies if it is

Pattern for filtering based on user input

[wizard]

I have a simple filter that takes input based upon the url.

urlpatterns = patterns('ahrlty.listings.views',
(r'^(?P.*)$', 'index'),
)

In the view I do a simple validation against a tuple in my listings
model that I use for choices in a field.

if dict(Listing.listing_types).has_key(listing_type) == False:
listing_type = None

And finally I get my data filtering on the listing_type if it exists,
otherwise I just want all the data. (Instead of none of it.)

if listing_type:
data = Listing.objects.filter(is_published = True,
listing_type = listing_type)
else:
data = Listing.objects.filter(is_published = True)

That last if statement works for this situation but I can see a
situation where I'm passing a few optional arguments in and an if
statement would get unwieldy.

I was thinking of chaining the filters for each optional field.

data = Listing.objects.filter(is_published = True)
if listing_type:
data = data.filter(listing_type = listing_type)

Is there a better way to construct the filter?

It should be, but using Django under jython is a minority case; your
bug reports would be a valuable community contribution.

We lean pretty heavily on Oracle-using for continued Oracle support --
jython support would be no different.

In this case, it sounds like an issue specific to jython and its
postgres driver, so you may have better luck asking their user group
for help:

Re: MySQLdb setup on snow leopard help

[Alex Robbins]

If you are planning to deploy to linux servers, you might have a nicer

Re: Giving up PHP. ...Can't decide between Django & Rails

[Andy Mikhailenko]

Hi,

> I'm a little concerned by django error handling.

you could try the Werkzeug debugger[1], it really does save time a
lot. Or, by the way, you could try Werkzeug without Django, in some
cases it's a good idea.
There are many good frameworks, I suggest that you pick the language
first and then settle down with the tools written in it.

django.views.generic.create_update : tags behavior

[m2k1983]

Hello,

I am new to Django. I tried experimenting with create_update generic
view, exploring the template tags, especially concerning widgets.

 From my reading of the documentation, within the
_form.html is passed the model form (either
passed in, or the framework create one), and therefore, the model
fields are accessible, and can be used as tags.  QUESTION: How about
the attributes of the field?

If I use widget, it works nicely. That is, the attribute 'max_length'
is properly rendered as maxlength.

However,  if the tags try access to attributes within the model
fields, it does *not* work for all attributes, except label.

Can I be enlighten on :Is this the right approach ?  Are tags like
{{ form.title.max_length }} is syntactically correct?

___ model.py ___

class Example(models.Model):
"""An Example"""
title = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=30)

___ example_form.html ___





This is OKAY:  {{ form.title.label }} :

This is NOT okay: {{ form.title.max_length }}


===

p/s: usefulness :  explore doing sway with widgets, and exploring
using some kind of javascript ui library, extracting attributes like
max_length as arguments to javascript function call).

Re: Giving up PHP. ...Can't decide between Django & Rails

[Brian Morton]

This is a tough question for sure.

If you prefer Ruby syntax, then to me it seems clear.  If it feels
clunky, it won't flow properly and you won't code as well.

Then again, you point out that you built a finished product quickly
and you're happy with it compared to what you built with Rails.  Isn't
that the point ;)

If you perceive that more Rails work is available, I would suggest
going down that path and maintaining your "hobbyist" interest in
Django.  It just depends on your goals.

Using properties as filters in the admin

[filias]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to use properties as filters in
the admin site.

I have a model with a property and would like to use this property as
a filter. As far as I read in the documentation one can only use
attributes as filters but I would like to know if there is any
workaround or any advices in this topic.

Thanks in advance.

How to find the file / directory which is hidden?

Hello,

I am using Django with Python on windows. I want to list the files
from specific directory and want to highlight files / directories
which are hidden. How to recognize a file / directory as it's hidden?

This particular application could be running on Unix / Linux platform.
Is there any common method which gives information as the file is
hidden? Or if it is possible using file header?

Well, you can't (IIRC)... but N.B. you probably only think you need it.

This isn't some strange oversight, it'd be fairly easy for django 
developers to add if they actually wanted it in*.  Admittedly, template 
languages do have a way of slowly growing in complexity until they do 
all sorts of stuff not originally envisaged, but it's a design decision 
to deliberately leave things out in template languages as they're not 
"for" general programming - complex loop control logic in the template 
is kind of a sign you're straying into things more properly handled 
elsewhere.


* note how e.g. jinja2 has a break and continue as an extension 
(jinja2.ext.loopcontrols) to its django-like "for" construct - but an 
extension that you have to explicitly enable so you know you're being 
naughty.

Re: dumping data in utf-8

[Andrey Torba]

Thanks, Peter, this is what i want.

Now the question is how to customize django to use 'allow_unicode=True' and
'default_flow_style=False'?

I found quick and dirty solution.
in Django-1.1.1-py2.5.egg/django/core/serializers/pyyaml.py

i changed a little:

def end_serialization(self):
self.options.pop('stream', None)
self.options.pop('fields', None)
yaml.dump(self.objects, self.stream, Dumper=DjangoSafeDumper*,
allow_unicode=True,* **self.options)

Now it dump readable data.

How can customize django yaml serializer?

So it sounds like the issue has something to do with your admin.py file --
that is where the admin registration calls for your own models are, and that
appears to be the only thing that isn't working. It is in your application
directory alongside models.py, right, not anywhere else? That is where it
needs to be in order to be found by the admin.autodiscover() in urls.py. You
might try putting some prints into it and seeing if it is getting loaded at
all.

I've noticed that django always fetches 'naive' datetimes from the

This is a bit tedious because such datetime cannot be later converted
to any timezone. Each time I want to display a datetime on the screen
(converted to user's time zone) I have to copy it applying UTC as a
tzinfo (this is how it is stored in the database) and then convert to
relevant timezone with astimezone(). OK, that's one line of code :)
but I have a feeling that this line should be somewhere inside in the
django code.




I recommend using django settings.TIME_ZONE = 'UTC', then use:

http://github.com/brosner/django-timezones

to localize time for presentation.

N.B. Among other things it has a
LocalizedDateTimeField for use on models. If you use it and tell
it UTC, you should get a non-naive pytz UTC datetime.

  Oops - sorry. I misread your email (another proof I should not reply
to anyone before my first cup of coffee ;-)

  I'm not very familiar with j2ee syntax, but the logic seems a bit
too heavy for a template, you might be better off implementing the
logic in a view (hence, standard Python+Django), put the result in the
context and only display the context in a template.

  Just my 2 cents.

Re: Admin issues

[Sheena]

Still no luck...
I've run syncdb and I can talk to my db through the interpreter easily
so I don't think there's a problem with that.
When i log in i get add and change options for Groups, Users, Comments
and Sites but not for anything relating to my application (as created
in chapter 5 of the Django Book 2, it looks to me like there should be
an option to add and change stuff in my little database.
I included the class admin stuff as a last ditch effort to get the
thing to work, I found it on an older tutorial, just thought I'd see
if it changed anything.
Besides that, I'm using runserver when looking at my sites and i
always restart it whenever i make changes that could alter my admin
site.

  Hi,

  the syntax you're using is not standard Django template syntax, so
unless someone has replaced the default Django tempating system with
the same one as you did (and is familiar with it and read your email),
you are unlikely to get a response from this list.

  Sorry

Re: MySQLdb setup on snow leopard help

[Bdidi]

I'm also having problems with this. Installing setuptools was no
problem, but I still get errors trying to install MYSQLdb - this:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libintl.3.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/gnused
  Reason: image not found

which is odd since  libintl.3.dylib  is definitely there; and this:

building '_mysql' extension
Compiling with an SDK that doesn't seem to exist: /Developer/SDKs/
MacOSX10.4u.sdk

That squares with the fact that when I check where XCode is installed,
I find SDKs for 10.6 and 10.5 but not 10.4, but does this mean I need
the 10.4 SDK in order to install MYSQLdb?

Thx

No.

This has been proposed and rejected *many* times in the past. For example:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/685617964efab5f4
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/6207286aa908f9b5

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/42a92e48cec5c7c2

No offense, but if your mail client can't filter mail, then you need
to get a better mail client.
