Re: Super slow authentication
Sorry your right I didn't even include some basic info. Basically I am using django_auth_ldap.backend.LDAPBackend as my first authentication backend and .ModelBackend as my secondary. I have a login page that needs authentication before you can do anything useful in the views by using a decorator on my view methods and redirecting to the login url. The one thing I have noticed about this setup is that on my dev box which is 10.04 Ubuntu its not as slow as the centos 5 machine its running on however they are both slow.

Super slow authentication
Hey everyone, I got a situation where I have SUPER slow authentication like approx 5min to authenticate with both LDAP and default authentication mechanisms. So my issue is two parts first is why and how is my authentication so slow? Second is now I am having some remote users timeout on their authentication which was not happening before but is happening now. I have not seen anything in the logs or error messages to help me track down the cause of this issue. The system is centos 5 and is running apache + wsgi. The django version is 1.3.

Re: Help - Which IDE is best to use.
You make a really good point about starting with Vim. I personally started with Vim and used it exclusively for years and feel all developers need to be at least proficient with it. But just as you should start with Vim you probably also should move on once your intermediate to advanced in development. To me going back to Vim from Komodo is like going back to the stone age. Just as we are always looking for the best web technologies to develop on that make our lives easier and solutions better we should also do the same with our development environments.

Re: Help - Which IDE is best to use.
If you can pay for the full version Komodo has been working awesome for me not only for Django but for almost any kind of development work.

Re: Questions about UnicodeDecodeError
I did have UTF-8 in the db before but then when I was inserting(done by a script) values in I would get errors. I really want to avoid doing conversions before I insert the data so I can maintain the data in the exact format as it was seen in. I may be forced into doing that it seems to make django even work. I tried to get my app to work by creating the __unicode__ method return a string of "blah" and it still dies on me.

Questions about UnicodeDecodeError
I have a situation where I am reading data that I have no control over and inserting it into a db. The data is http headers. I am storing them in postgres db in a text field and the db encoding is SQL_ASCII. Since the data can be anything even non compliant http headers with anything for its values I don't want to modify the data before I store it in the db. However this is causing issues with certain values causing the UnicodeDecodeError. For example I have a specific case where the user agent is set to 'KC\xd4\xda\xcf\xdf\xc9\xfd\xbc\xb6'. I have been trying to look for a way to deal with these cases gracefully in the models __unicode__ method but nothing I have tried has worked.
