Sphinx code validation for Django projects
I have a Django project with a couple of apps - all of them with 100% coverage unit tests. Recently I started documenting the whole thing in a new directory called "docs" using reST and Sphinx. I create the html files using the normal approach: make html. Since there are a couple of code snippets in these reST files, I want to make sure that these snippets stay valid over time as the project evolves. I looked up the git repo for docs.djangoproject.com, but did not find this functionality there. So what is a good way to test the code snippets inside these reST files, so I get an error if some API changes made such a snippet invalid? I guess there have to be some changes in conf.py?

Forms with dynamic *fields*
Hi all, I want to create a form with dynamic fields. That is, I want to add the fields using the __init__ method of my form: 1 class MyForm(forms.Form): 2 def __init__(self, fieldnames=(), *args, **kw): 3 for fieldname in fieldnames: 4 self.XXXfieldnameXXX = forms.CharField(...) 5 super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kw) What is the correct syntax for line 4?

So you could do this: image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/%Y/%m/%d') Of course the images of one album are not in one directory, but this solution still makes more sense: 1) Many users might not upload any images at all - so there would be many empty directories. 2) Some users might upload a whole lot of images - your problem with too many files in one directory will come up again. An additional benefit: If you run out of diskspace, you could mount a different volume under $MEDIA_ROOT/images/2008 for the next year. And of course django will always know where your images are: [ i.image for i in Gallery.get(slug="foobar").image_set.all() ] will get you all images for one gallery. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Maybe I should clarify the problems as far as I am aware of them: Whenever you work with the result of MyModel.objects.filter() or .all() or even .get(), django loads the complete record(s) including all fields into memory. So if you want to present just a list of titles of 20 of your records, all these 20 records will be loaded into memory - which might be a HUGE amount of data. (As long as you don't play around with specialized Q() objects, as far as I know) Furthermore Django is not really meant to serve huge amounts of (more or less) static data. That's what your webserver is for. Your webserver might be able to continue a download which stopped in the middle at the correct location etc. So for me it makes much more sense to store the binary data in the filesystem because it has much less overhead. The only disadvantage I can see here is that for backups you not only have to save your database, but also one directory (including subdirs) of your file system.

So when the request to get the image is sent to django, we have to decrypt the solution according to the image's URL. In my opinion that raises some problems, because it could be decrypted by someone else too, unless you use a private/public key encryption, which means more work on the django server than using just hashed filenames like my approach does. Furthermore I don't see a real reason to generate images on the fly instead of storing them directly. My approach is quite speedy even with auto_cleanup, when there are many captcha images sitting in the filesystem all the time. I ran an apache benchmark test on my development machine (not the fastest hardware) multiple times where each of them creating 1000 captchas: With auto_cleanup: captchas on disk at startRequests per second first run 0 22.82 second run 1000 13.06 third run2000 9.16 fourth run 3000 7.02 Without auto_cleanup: captchas on disk at startRequests per second first run 0 39.05 second run 1000 39.45 third run2000 37.27 fourth run 3000 38.46 disk space used for 4000 captchas: 48MB And these are really extreme cases, since they imply that no one of the 1000 visitors in each run ever submits a form back, so its captcha image would be deleted automatically. If you really have concerns regarding speed, you might use a cronjob that deletes the old captchas in the background, so the whole system stays very responsive. If you have a compelling reason why this solution is bad, I'll be happy to know. Otherwise I think, I'll stick with images in the filesystem. In my opinion it's fast for most sites even with auto_cleanup, and for really high volume sites just disable auto_cleanup, use your own cronjob, and everything should be ok.

One thing that annoys me with in-memory images is that you have to
change your urls.py, and I want the CaptchaField as unobtrusive as
possible. Furthermore this method needs some kind of session data
stored somewhere, and therefore also cookies. All this annoys me a bit,
to be honest.

Good idea! Although I already have used an incomplete alphabet for
this, it seems natural that developers want to use their own "alphabet"
- which might be only digits, and no characters.
So I made a nice configuration possibility for my captcha module. You
can define it in your settings.py, and also adjust individual forms, if
you wish.

Yes. You can specify rotation, sizes, vertical positions and other
values according to your needs. The only thing that is not so elegant
is: all characters are aligned on top. That means that a lowercase
character might look as if it is superscript. If you only use uppercase
and numbers, then this is no problem.
(BTW: The user can enter only lowercase characters - the captcha test
is also successful, even if the image also shows uppercase characters)

Me too!
There is a significantly updated version available now:
http://django.agami.at/captchatest/ - with download, docs and demo
("reload" the page, if you have already been there...)
* The old version had a bug in not removing outdated captchas. FIXED
* new configuration options
* save as gif image with adaptive color palette to minimize filespace.
if it*s not possible to save as gif, it falls back to jpg.
(I had a problem on FreeBSD with gif images)
* there is now an "iterations" option - which writes many captchas
over each other for testing purposes. (so you can adjust width and
height of your captcha according to your font settings)
Hope you like it,

Thank you for showing me an interesting part of the documentation!
The following chapter (modifying-initial-manager-querysets) led me to
the solution of my problem! So by calling
MyModel.active_objects.filter(title__contains='D') I can use anything I
want, and I am still able to use the normal "objects" class for the
admin interface.
The syntax is a bit different than I expected, but it is also more
elegant than my previous approach :)

creating custom "filter_*" methods for objects
Hi all,
many of my models have a boolean field "is_active".
Now I'd like to implement a convenience method that automatically uses
this field when accessing my models.
What is the best way to implement something like
MyModel.objects.filter_active()?
One (quite non-elegant) way would be adding a method to the class
Manager in django.db.models.manager like this:
def filter_active(self, *args, **kwargs):
kwargs['is_active'] = kwargs.get('is_active', True)
return self.get_query_set().filter(*args, **kwargs)
But that would mean changing django core files, which I really do not
like. I'd much prefer adding a method to my own model - but how?
Hoping for some clues...

Re: What IDE do you use? (semi-OT)

I love Vim (Linux and if necessary Windows) since about 4 years.
Main reasons:
* super fast because of the sophisticated motion keys and
multi-line editing (visualmode I)
* filetype plugins for django-html and of course python
* nice folding of python code
* Iabbr {% <> %}andIabbr {{ <> }}
for quickly inserting django blocks/tags into templates
* I could go on endlessly...
The bad thing with vim is a relatively steep learning curve
at the beginning, but after a short while I began to love this editor
for its many features and external plugins. ("dbext" for database access
inside the editor, and "vtreeexplorer" for a nice vertical hierarchical
file selector, "taglist", "pydoc", ...)

Re: Count clicks
Hi, > In my model i have an IntegerField called "count". What would be a > good way to increment the post with post_id=1 when someone > accesses "http://www.mysite.com/news/1;? Resp. where do i put my code? I can see here two issues: It's generally a bad idea to update anything in the database without a POST form. (see tutorial 4, "vote()" function) Second, you do a database-update whenever an anonymous user views a page - this can be a major performance issue. Why don't you run a cronjob asynchronously - say: once every hour or day, that checks your webserver's access log and updates all relevant numbers in one session? just my 2eurocents, Martin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
