new Django-Python can't get to sqlite

It's my first time using Django & I'm unable to get the demo going. I would like to use sqlite (ultimately mysql). Python 2.7 installed ok. Then I installed (I think) Django 1.2.1. The "manage.py runserver" works, but the "syncdb" fails. How do I "install" sqlite or pysqlite2 (or even mysql)? I

Thanks so much both of you, totally works and makes sense. I used Joseph's version because of the commas, but they both helped me understand what was happening. I notice that it seems to be ok to put the if statement on one line: {% if filmmakers|length > 2 and not forloop.first %}, {% endif %}

Save_model versus model.save() and the order they are called.

Hopefully some django sql guru will give you a better answer, but I'll take a stab at it. What you describe does sound pretty tricky. Is this something that has to be done in a single query statement? If you just need to build a list of objects you could do it in steps, e.g.: # Get all State

Good question. According to the dumpdata docs, the available formats are here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/serialization/#serialization-formats And 'python' does indeed show in that list. However, that page does mention that the 'python' version serves as a base for other formats

Custom Inline Formset Validation

I'm trying to do some custom validation for an inlineformset. I would like to only allow 5 items checked across the forms in the inline formset. What's the best way to do this? I have tried defining a method (like a clean method for forms and formsets) but it doesn't appear to work. Maybe I'm

Re: dynamic forms and custom methods

I think jquery may be the right way to go for this. It will allow you to evaluate the weights in real time so you won't have to submit the form before any validation errors would be returned. Working it at the model level may get tricky, for ease I would handle it at the form or view level. On

When we upload files to the CDN, we store that path with the object. Then we override the widget for the file so we can server the file directly from the CDN using that field. Would that work for you? On Aug 12, 7:54 am, shi shaozhong wrote: > Dear Markus, > > This is a

Re: Encoded uploaded WAVE or AIFF file to MP3 format on server

This is just a thought, but you could separate the file encoding and storage from your model and hand that off to a Celery task. Off the top of my head: - use a "file path" charfield and a "is ready" boolean field in your model - use a FileField in your form - when the form/upload are validated,

No exception when there's problems with CACHE_BACKEND?
