Re: asynchronous operations
Look into using a queue system of some form. Django-queue-service (http://django-queue-service.googlecode.com/) was developed to enable this but there's similiar mechanisms in use through many sites. Either developed internally, or using heavier-duty queuing mechanisms. -joe On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 12:02 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Certain events require another operation to run.

Re: Change the model name
If you're talking about changing the display name in the administrative interface, there is the option of setting "verbose name" - see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#table-names for more information. You can also change the database table name associated with the model object if you feel you must. More details are in that same documentation page. -joe On Sat, May 31, 2008 at 11:45 AM, Kless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is possible to change the model name? > > From a class as *class FooBar* > it's got a model called *foobar*, > but I would to get a model called 'foo_bar', without change the class > name to 'Foo_Bar'. > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: How to do background processing with Django
You can certainly hide this additional complexity with your application either using Django as a pass through or configuring up something with a reverse proxy in Apache or such. There's no reason that I can think of that the complexity of maintaining a queueing system for asynchronous processing would need to be passed outward to a user. If you want to give the user feedback on what's happening, you might consider maintaining a state message like "in progress" or such within Django that can be polled via an Ajax call or the like. -joe On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 9:07 AM, shabda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Not the end user but the people who would be downloading this > application, and want to use this, in a shared hosting environment. > > > On Mar 26, 7:39 pm, "Ian Lawrence" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi > > > > > are django and apache.

Re: How often do you update your django?
Justin does have a very valid point here - there's a LOT of functionality that isn't in the 0.96.1 release, and there's no word on when a next release will be coming.

Re: How often do you update your django?
It's more than a file - it's more like a directory :-) If you're new to django, you might find it a lot easier to start with the release version. The trunk has been reasonably stable lately, but there's no promise that it will remain so - and you might find yourself in a bind if you loose track of the trunk for a while and don't keep up with changes.

Re: unit testing Q
Absolutely - the "making a seperate DB" is all wrapped in "django-admin.py test" or "./manage.py test" - which does a number of things for you. You don't have to use that at all - and just running standard python unit tests will work against your system. You'll need to set up your environment to use the right "django" bits - the same as you would from using any other general python script external to the webserver, but it works just fine. -joe On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 7:44 AM, Jeff Gentry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As a relative newcomer to Django, I recently starting looking at how best > to implement unit tests for my app. I came across this page: > http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/testing/ > as well as a couple of other examples online. > > If I'm understanding things correctly, the unit testing framework creates > a temporary DB separate from the main DB for the purpose of running the > tests, which is then removed afterwards.

Re: How/where do you add middleware (was: empty PATH_INFO with LiteSpeed / FastCGI)
Austin, There's an excellent overview of the how's and why's of Middleware at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/middleware/ Fundamentally, you're just specifying a class that you've implemented somewhere. It can be in a folder or not - that's just matching python's module structure to the class name that you import. I'd suggest working with "print" statements in a dev server instance to get the feel for what's flowing through a middleware class. It taught me a lot when I was getting started.

There isn't a visual interface for creating new fields, but don't let that stop you. It is really very straight forward and well documented.

Re: django runserver freeze after 10-15 min
The link to Gordon's page is much nicer than the hackery I did some time back, but I thought I'd pipe in with a comment that the WSGIServer from CherryPy works very nicely. We've embedded it into our Django Queue Service project (I yanked the WSGIServer directly - didn't need the rest: http://code.google.com/p/django-queue-service/source/browse/trunk/qs/server.py) and it works exceptionally well as a super-portable "run it anywhere" application server.

Need just a little more information... First - what platform are you working on? Second, how did you install django?

Re: django-queue-service documentation
I'm always willing to take suggestions. We've expanded on the basics in the "unstable" branch - mostly focusing on adding a pure REST interface, which Rajesh has done a wonderful job with. It does have it's own settings when using it standalone - it's a pretty straight-up Django application that way. It's not much work to integrate it into your app straight off - like I said, that's actually where I personally started with the concept. I just thought it had more value separate :-) It's not super-particular about the database - just like any other Django application. -joe On Jan 30, 2008 3:22 PM, Tane Piper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That sounds fantastic - I think we might look at integrating it into > the application as it's pretty vital (imagine having to wait for a 50 > or 100mb repository to clone!). > > If your interested, I'd be happy to provide some code back if we can > make any improvements.

Re: django-queue-service documentation
Sorry for the lack of docs - I think we've all been focused elsewhere, and the project is being somewhat quiet right now. Do you want to integrate it into your application directly, or use it as a standalone critter? What kind of information on using it would be most useful to you? I've got some ideas, but since I helped create it they may be well skewed. I know the internals very well - and it all seems somewhat obvious to me, although I know that's not an outside view at all.

Definitely take that specific dynamic page and profile it - see what's happening and why its slow. That's clearly your first bottleneck to work on from the data you've provided. There's a wiki page on that very process here: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ProfilingDjango and there's additionally some information you can get when you enable DEBUG to see how long the SQL queries are taking for that dynamic page.

Re: static on separate what?
running the media off a non-standard port without a front-end proxy to make it "look" like it's coming from somewhere on Port 80 may get you some trouble. In particular, we found that a lot of folks behind firewalls and in corporate environments simply didn't get anything on the media server *unless* we were shipping it out from Port 80. damned annoying - ain't right and all that, but there it is. -joe On Dec 9, 2007 1:30 PM, Jeremy Dunck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Dec 9, 2007 3:07 PM, andy baxter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does this mean running the django server on a different port to the > > static files, or is there a way to do it through virtual hosts? > > > > If you only have one IP, you could run media off a non-standard port. > If you have multiple IPs, just bind your media server to a different > IP (but still port 80). > > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: newform: Why Doesn't This work
The "choice = " is getting evaluated as a class, and the self.q_prime
is referring to an instance of the class myForm. At least I think
that's what's happening here...

Thanks for the feedback! We (well Rajesh and Marcus) have been adding a huge number of tests in a development branch, so you'll be seeing that fairly shortly. I appreciate the request for RESTful verbs in the environment, we'll definitely look into that. If I'm reading it correctly, the lack of RESTful verbs was your primary consideration for what the API to the queue service failed to provide.

Re: Sending encrypted email
Sorry - Its worth noting that you could start by working with the EmailMultiAlternatives class in django.core.mail.

Re: django database setup problem
You're on the right track - missing the MySQL python libraries. It looks like Python is also missing the zlib libraries... not sure which OS you're using, but there's probably an "apt-get install ..." or "rpm -Uvh ..." command that will get you the MySQL Python libraries that you need.

Re: fell sad will a newform implement
Narrow this down and you should be able to work through it.
First - is the view getting invoking correctly, regardless of what
newforms is doing? If you're running on a dev server instance (i.e.
django-admin runserver), then try printing out the request.POST or
request.GET in the view to see what is coming through.
You can also invoke django-admin shell and load up the Form and "poke
at it", which I've found to be a pretty good debugging tool. i.e.
>>> import forms
>>>
>>> example_data = { 'name' : 'test', 'description' : 'blue', 'vendor'
: 'ford' }
>>> f = forms.AddTypeForm(example_data)
>>> f.is_valid()
True
or whatever.
Break it down into steps to debug it, and then determine if each piece
is working. You'll make good progress that way.

Re: Post question
Yes, absolutely. You have all the form data in the request object that comes into the view - you can use that to tweak data and send off another request externally. It's relatively high latency, but it definitely is possible. -joe On 10/1/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I dunno if this is possible or not.

Re: Create and send post data to a view?
You could do it by having your view act as a proxy. Basically instantiate a new connection to the view in question from your web application using urllib2 or the like. Then get the results, process them as you wish, and send the results of that post-processing (if any) back to the original client request. -joe On 10/1/07, Greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I was wondering if I could send POST data to another view for > processing.

Re: how to implement "stay logged on this computer until i log out"?
You can certainly access cookies manually and do with them as you like. That's how we've implemented a "remember who it was that last logged in from this computer" kind of feature. There's a set_cookie() method on the request object that can do this work for you - but it's not thoroughly documented. I'd recommend looking at the code directly and maybe checking out this thread: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t=res=4=http%3A%2F%2Fgroups.google.com%2Fgroup%2Fdjango-users%2Fbrowse_thread%2Fthread%2F7b65ff5783f71b9c%2Fa4079aa60e7dfa37=GFT3Ro7tOKGegAPn49C_BA=AFQjCNHCE35TvLu4ZdYy1SklwYZh8b_wqg=fPsOuIxzECnESDy_ZtHWqg -joe On 9/23/07, Mark Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi list, > > I would like to have sessions normally timeout after > 8 hours, that is easily achieved by setting > SESSION_COOKIE_AGE in settings.py. > > But additionally I'd like to provide a checkbox to "stay logged > in on this computer until i log out" which shall make the > session immortal (remove expiry). > > Is there anything in the API to implement that or can I get > at the session-cookie meat to do it manually? > > I basically need to override the default from > SESSION_COOKIE_AGE for individual sessions. > > > -mark > > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: ORM / Performance
Without knowing a hell of a lot more of the details of you site, what you're trying to do, etc - nobody can reasonably answer this question. The ORM is fine, but if it's not as fast as you need for certain queries, you can always drop back to RAW sql to see if that will give you speed. At the level of activity you're citing, you'll have to make some serious choices between how personalized you'd like the site and how much resource you can throw at the problem. Between caching, profiling, and having a good sense of what your current hardware can run to, you can scale out Django horizontally to achieve the scale you need. -joe On 9/18/07, yezooz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Sep 18, 10:23 pm, yezooz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sep 18, 10:14 pm, "Joseph Heck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > two words: intelligent caching > > > > > Know what you're asking for commonly, and cache it up with memcache. > > > That will do you a world of benefit. > > > > Well of course caching will solve some of the problems, but cache > > still needs to regenerated sometime... > > I should say that I'm thinking about few millions of pageviews a day > > > > > > > > > > -joe > > > > > On 9/18/07, yezooz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > hi all, > > > > > > I'm sure many of you run high traffic websites in Django and I'm very > > > > curious how you're avoiding performance hit caused by built-in ORM. > > > > Select_related not always working and it's still might generate dozens > > > > of select's. > > > > Are you just running custom SQL queries with joins ? > > > > > > greetings > > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Web developement with Python
To answer your specific question about can Django handle 100 page hits/sec, the answer is yes. Like any other technology, how you achieve that scale depends on a lot of things other than just the framework. There's a nice (but not detailed) interview about Pownce at http://immike.net/blog/2007/07/06/interview-with-leah-culver-the-making-of-pownce/ - which I suspect is one of the higher traffic sites that actively use Django.

Django Queue Service
For anyone interested, I've made available the code (using Django) to a project that implements a message queue for use with Django (or anything, really) projects. The brilliantly conceived name is "Django Queue Service", and the source is available at http://django-queue-service.googlecode.com/. I've written up the background at my blog (http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2007/08/25/django-queue-service/) and just wanted to let you all know it was there if you wanted or needed such a critter. The code was hacked up in a few evenings at OSCON 2007. Like so many other folks, I've run into "I want to run some background processing that is initiated from a django project, but I didn't see any brilliant queueing solutions that I could take and run with. Hence this was born, intending to replicate over Amazon's Simple Queue Service REST API. It is not set up as a drop-down-and-run service, but there isn't too much more that's needed to use it directly if you're interested. I've also included a pure python WSGI server from CherryPy within the source - which I found was a very effective way to run the code. I've been wanting to do a pure python server for a while, and this really did the trick for me. -joe --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Help with Django installation on OSX 10.4.10
It is most likely an improper reference in django-admin.py to the location of python - or the "wrong" python. If you invoke python in your terminal, which do you get? BTW: I used the MacPorts install of Python, and I keep the following in my .profile: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH which does the trick for my installation. -joe On 8/25/07, Brandon Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I'm just getting started with Django/Python.

Re: non-event driven method called?
common problem, but a pretty straightforward solution. You can run a script via cron that imports and uses Django bits as you like - we do that quite often.

Re: full-text indexing
There was a very impressive demonstration of SOLR at OSCON this year, and it looks very, very easy to set up for light(i.e. reasonable but not-heavy) usage. The default install comes pretty much ready to roll - you'll have to tweak out a "schema" description of what you're indexing, and work on a way to do inserts, updates, and deletes from your database (it's a straight REST interface) - but that's really it. I've started working on this myself, but I haven't gotten past getting SOLR loaded onto the local machine and digging into my (current) TSearch2 schema to see what I want to load, index, and store within SOLR. -joe On 8/8/07, Gábor Farkas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Jarek Zgoda wrote: > > I don't know what do you mean by "transactions" in case of full-text > > search engine as it doesn't do any multi-step updates (only single- > > step deletes or inserts in case of PyLucene). > > > > Anybody who wants to use PyLucene, be aware that you cann't embed (iow > > "use", "import") PyLucene in your Django application code if your web > > server is either forking or threadinig one.

Re: remember me feature
If you want something that lasts longer than a session (for how-ever you configured it on your system), then you might consider writing your own cookie, and checking for it at the relevant places. I don't use this mechanism for authentication, but as a little additional personalization touch to remember who's logged in from that browser previously. It's not super-obvious, but here's a little snippet example of setting the cookie: my_response.set_cookie(key=USER_PERSISTENCE_NAME, value=username, max_age=None, expires=expires, domain=settings.SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN ) and getting rid of it: my_response.delete_cookie(USER_PERSISTENCE_NAME) and to read it, we added a little to a central Context Processor to make the data available in all the templates: ctx['saved_username'] = request.COOKIES.get(USER_PERSISTENCE_NAME, "") On 8/1/07, JHeasly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey James, > > This might get you going in the right direction: > > "The default SessionMiddleware that comes with Django lets you pick if > you want all sessions to be browser-length or persistent, if you want > to use different types of sessions based on a users preference (e.g. > the good old "Remember Me" check-box) you're gonna have to write your > own middleware. ...

We pre-process the search query with our own simple code, converting

Re: request
Hi Sreelatha, When you say "send a messae to multiple users", do you mean display a message on your site to a set of users? There's a couple of different ways to attack this kind of problem - but the easiest is to have a view that queries a storage place (likely a model) and displays any messages from there if the user matches the criteria that you're interested in. There is a built in messaging mechanism that works for authenticated users, but it is "per user" - in that a view can push a message into the session for the user, and then a future template or view can pull those out and display them. There's also work (I think...) ongoing to do that for anyone that has a session, although I don't know its status off the top of my head. Neither of these options are particularly "broadcast" kinds of mechanisms though. -joe On 7/9/07, sreelatha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > I am Sreelatha I have struck up at one place please help me out. > The problem is I want to send a single message to multiple users but I > dont want to save the message to all the users which is a hectic work. > I s there any way to solve this problem. > > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Django books application i18n
Even with generic views, you have custom templates. For anything in
the template, first {% load i18n %} and then follow the instructions
for internationalizing the text on the template.
If it's something coming from your inside model, there's really no
option for internationalizing that data aside from something you do
yourself. To use the i18n functionality, the text has to be known
ahead of time - there's nothing built in to django to automagically

Re: Using simplejson
Without seeing your code, it's hard to know what's happening. It sounds like you're having a problem using JSON objects with javascript, so I'll try and throw out a short example and see if that helps. If this doesn't do it for you, put up the actual javascript that's causing you the trouble, and we'll see if we can't debug it. The example: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/292/ This example uses Dojo, the idea being checking to see if a username is available. Most of the text of that example is pulling all the parts together, but the critical line to using JSON within the javascript is: arrayData = dojo.json.evalJson(data); which evaluates the data and returns it as object literals that you can then access with dot notation or whatever you use. In my case, I used the javascript array/dictionary lookup notation to get my simple "is it there" response and then I spew in some HTML accordingly. -joe On 6/20/07, aman r <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yes, u have understood my problem correctly but the JSON object is not > recognized in the html page so if i try to say something like list.name > (where list has my JSON and name is its one of the values present in that > list) then it doesnt get recognized, is gives me Type mismatch error , is > there any conversion or decode i need to do ? > > > On 6/20/07, Joseph Heck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > If I understand correctly, that sounds reasonably doable - what is > > your question?

Re: newbie seeks relevant examples
Just so you're aware - switching from a Web Start application to Django is a fairly significant change in how you attack some problems. With WebStart, you have a full user interface API with Swing (or whatever you're using) running in it's own JVM, and in Django you're pushing this all into a browser and doing the web application post-back-to-send-data sort of set up. It's certainly not impossible to make this kind of conversion, and if you're conversant in javascript and comfortable with Ajax style programming (as Brian Luft alludes to), you can do quite a bit - but there's a significant different metaphor in operation. The djangoproject wiki has a number of links to sites (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoResources) that include source code. Djangoproject's site (http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/djangoproject.com/django_website) itself is available, and Jeff Croft has made some source available for a couple of sites (http://www2.jeffcroft.com/blog/2007/feb/25/two-new-django-sites-both-source-available/). Not knowing more about the specifics of what you're trying to accomplish, it's hard to point you in any better direction. -joe On 6/14/07, Sells, Fred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've got a java webstart app that I would like to rebuild in django.

Re: problem representation
If it's the *same* information, then use a foreign-key relationship. If it's different information, then it needs to be stored separately, and defining that on the models is a good way of doing that. You can shoot yourself in the foot by trying to re-use too much as well as too-little. It is ultimatley a tradeoff choice that you need to make for your own code. -joe On 6/4/07, Lic. José M.

Re: query parameters for search
While it may look ugly, it's actually pretty effective - depending on
what you want to enable with search queries overlaid on URL's. If you
only had simple (i.e. one word) terms, you could write the query into
the URL itself, but I found that using a url like /search/ and then
appending on ?q=... and page=... was really about the most expedient
path.

Re: Big app, big db, all users are authenticated
Another thing to keep an eye out for is referencing one model from another - when loading up the choices for something that has > 1000 possible associated objects, then system will take a while to pull all those into place. Setting "raw_admin_id" in the model will help alleviate this, but you loose some additional functionality as a consequence. Fundamentally, look at your queries to see how what's going on and taking time. Maybe just a few indexes are needed, or it might help you identify a coding mistake. I frequently use the middleware snippet at http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/264/ to assist here (had a problem with our sitemap setup over the weekend I diagnosed with that). I didn't create that middleware originally - found it on this list. Sorry I can't tell you who created it originally. -joe On 6/4/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > On Jun 4, 3:48 pm, "and_ltsk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1. 100MB per request - is it normal? > > not likely.

Re: problem representation
Maybe a foreign key relationship would work, but you might just consider adding all those attributes to each model. Unless you think you'll end with really sparse tables, it may be worth it for the simplicity. You wouldn't want to use a one-to-one table for common elements among different models. -joe On 6/4/07, Lic. José M. Rodriguez Bacallao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi for everyone.

Re: Best practice: How to test site using openid-only login
You might take a look at twill (http://twill.idyll.org/) - Although I find it a tad trickier to get rolling with than Selenium, it has the functionality that you want (emulating a browser, including cookies) and can be 'programmed' to walk to an OpenID login site and back again following redirects. You can think of it as a more complex/complete version of the test client in Django. If that doesn't suit, consider one of the browser automation engines - Pamie, Samie, or Watir. Given that you're programming python already, Pamie (http://pamie.sourceforge.net/) is probably of more interest. It's basically driving "IE" on windows through it's COM interface. -joe On 5/29/07, Almad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'd like to ask about best testing practice.

Re: How to delete a session
Ah - right. The middleware returns that all wrapped up.

Re: Search options
We determined that Postgres was portable enough to any platform we'd host on, and went with TSearch2 and have been pretty happy. Having done hard-core search work in a previous life (www.singingfish.com), I know it isn't everything you can get in the search world, but it was sufficient for our needs. I personally feel that TSearch2 falls very nicely between better than the simplistic "like"+wildcard SQL statements and a sophisticated indexing engine like Lucene. If you're willing to go "search server", you might even consider SOLR (lucene based search server with a web api). Especially if you scale out your front end's (the django app servers) horizontally in a large environment, it becomes appealing. How many front-end's you have actually becomes something to seriously consider, because the likes of PyLucene, Xapian, and others all have search related indices that then need to be kept up to date and available to the searcher processes.

Re: problems with spawning new subprocesses with development server
For a light (i.e. short) duration process that you want results from
to return to the user, it's fairly straightforward. Here's some code
we're using to report our current code revision in an admin dashboard:
def get_code_revision():
import os
x = os.popen("/usr/bin/svnversion /u/django/webcode")
versionstring = x.readline()
x.close()
return versionstring.strip()
For spawning a longer running background process (as you mention
towards the end), this really isn't an appropriate mechanism. Instead
look for something where you can pass a "do this" message to another
mechanism that will do the work in the background. In our case, we
have a number of what we've terms "out of band" processing, and we use
simple tokens in the database as a quick and dirty message system. So
the view method will insert a row in the database, and a background
process will periodically poll the database for any rows to process.
It's not suitable to really high bandwidth messaging needs, but it
works nicely for us.
Alternately, you can come up with some mechanism that is more "event
like" and asynchronous.

Re: is this a template bug?
My first thought is "what's in {{ item.inleiding }}". If it included
the , then it would be displayed when you rendered that down.
Do something like:
{{ item.inleiding|escape }}
to isolate that element and see what "pops out".

Re: Translation of class names
Do you want your site to be mixed language, or always in Russian?
Assuming you want the first, there's good instructions at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/i18n/.
Make sure you have the middleware included and running, and then take
advantage of the url/view setup to explicitly change the language -
it's detailed near the bottom of those instructions.
Finally, a reasonable debugging step is to look at the "request"
object when it's processing through your views and see what it's
reporting as the language that it is using.

Re: Need some help with Amazon S3
No idea about question #2 - it was my impression that S3 was a stateless mechanism and didn't support the concept of streaming, but I haven't read all that much about it, so I could easily be wrong. #1 is probably best resolved by taking advantage of the S3 REST interface and plugging that in to your code as desired. There's nothing to my knowledge that uses S3 as a straight database backend mechanism for the Django models - so anything you do there will likely be custom code adding on as you specifically need it. I don't know if I'd push that into a model myself - maybe an instance method that retreived the values you needed as desired? Depending on your needs, just doing some light custom code that can be invoked from any view and makes agressive use of caching to pull down the values you want is probably how'd I would initially try to tackle it. If you allowed updating of that image through your site, then you could also take advantage of that interface to invalidate the local cache of any images and push in your newly updated pieces. -joe On 5/6/07, Sam Purtill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am doing two things with Amazon S3: > > 1) Storing images/thumbnails for user profile pictures.

Re: CSS
The same way you'd include CSS in any general HTML file, there's
nothing magic happening there with Django.
We use both:
in the header, and:
- whatever makes the most sense for you, have at. We take advantage of
{{ media_url }} in ours to point to our static media server, but you
can also hardcode in whatever makes sense for you.

Re: How to render newforms dynamically created fields?
Thanks Malcolm. Actually - I didn't know the answer until long after I'd posted it. And I really appreciate you providing some guidance. I'm going to post up some slight mods to the current documentation files to try and help folks following on the same path - the usage from the templates seems obvious once you know it, but a real pain to figure out before that. -joe On 5/6/07, Malcolm Tredinnick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey Joe, > > On Sun, 2007-05-06 at 21:13 -0700, Joseph Heck wrote: > > Actually, my example is sort of specific.

Re: How to render newforms dynamically created fields?
Actually, my example is sort of specific. I got the above working, but
ran into the next stumbling block with with a radioSelectField setup.
I posted a separate question about it, since it wasn't really about
this thread. But to recap - once I get a BoundField that's the result
of a ChoiceField and a RadioSelect widget, I don't seem to be able to
get into the guts of that component.
Printing it results in the standard:
sort of setup. What I'd like to be able to do is get ahold of each of
those ... components separately. It looks from the regression
tests that I should be able to somewhere use blah.field_list to get a
list of these pieces, much like the older forms setup. I haven't
figured out the path to use to get there though.
{{form.choice.field_list}} doesn't return anything iterable in the
template.
The regression test I was using as the basis to try and dive in here is:

Re: Mac OS X + Django; how do I invoke the fcgi?
It is, if you are using the stock MacOS X server setup. Two versions of python will definitely get things a bit messed up. Your best bet is to check your PATH and see which one comes first. When you run the development server on port 8000, which python is it using? For consistency, if nothing else, you should be using the same version of python for both development and running the project under fastcgi -joe On 5/6/07, Mark Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On May 5, 2007, at 11:04 PM, Joseph Heck wrote: > > > Post what you have as your PYTHONPATH and the urls.py that you're > > having trouble with, we'll nail it down. > > Thank you for the assistance, Joe. > > "myapp" is the django project. > > ['/usr/local/myapp', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- > packages/Django-0.95.1-py2.4.egg', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- > packages/setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- > packages/flup-0.5.dev_r2311-py2.4.egg', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python24.zip', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/plat- > darwin', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/plat- > mac', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/plat- > mac/lib-scriptpackages', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib- > tk', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib- > dynload', > '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site- > packages'] > > I posted another today, "django.loc/admin is not found".
