Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

Hi :). Yes, I also added the other syntax yesterday evening, so the syntax is now fully supported. (But it does not yield an int!!). Currently only `'int'` is registered as a valid type, with the regex r'[0-9]+'. More can be registered using `django_simple_url.register('hex', '[0-9a-fA-F]+')`

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

In my opinion, it should remain a string. That's the behaviour it is now, and it'll mean it can remain as a 3rd party package. Perhaps to show it isn't being cast, it could be renamed to "integer", which would avoid confusion On 15 Sep 2016 8:03 a.m., "Sjoerd Job Postmus" wrote: > Hi :). > > Ye

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

I'm not sure if I agree. On the one hand I would like to say: "I agree. For instance, if the type is `hex`, it would be really weird if it were to be cast to an int. For `uuid`, would you expect a `UUID` instance, or just a string?" but alternatively, ... "Wouldn't it be really cool if you co

Feature request: Generate module docstrings from startproject and startapp actions

Hi, Going through my code with pylint, I found that there is no way to filter by the type of missing docstring. I.e. missing-docstring catches functions, classes, methods, and modules. As a result, it gives a warning on for every default Django file. Accordingly, I would like to suggest that th

Re: Feature request: Generate module docstrings from startproject and startapp actions

Hello Matthew, I understand the suggestion, however, I’m afraid it priorizes the needs of the wrong audience. Experienced developers or teams who care about docstrings and pylint can use a custom project template for this use case. Conversely, newcomers who are still learning Django would likel

Dear List, In the meantime, there are two failing builds (default and windows) for the PR . I can't see what the error is because the links to the build output is a 404 and I wasn't able to setup a wor

Re: Working towards a simpler GCBV implementation?

Hi Tom, I am basically +1 to see this change in the django core. The package is 3 years old and should be tested enough. If you/other core team members thinks that now is a good time to include it to core and deprecation of older API, then I will be willing to work and send PR for this. Lookin

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

Fwiw, I spent a little time investigating this a couple of years ago. I would like to see Django officially bless the idea of alternative URL systems, and provide the "full" regex system and preferably at least one "simple" system - even if all that system supports is integers and slugs. This would
