Loading initial data with a post_syncdb hook?

2011-05-08 Thread Adam Seering
Hi, I have some Python code that generates initial data for some of my tables; I currently call that code from a post_syncdb hook. In Django 1.3, it looks like Django now calls TRUNCATE (or an equivalent non-PostgreSQL-ism) on all tables after running syncdb and all of its post- hooks.

Hi, I have a Django app that relies heavily on caching. I'd like "./manage.py test" to run on its own test cache instance (so it doesn't see keys from previous runs / other development / etc). I can write code to set up the cache appropriately, but, where can I put it s.t. it

If you really want everything, then either MacPorts or Fink work well. If you just want to run through the tutorial, though, you can probably get away with the built-in version of Python and SQLite as suggested. Older Macs have Python 2.3, which should work (though it is quite old); Leopard
