Hi there!
I'm working on a project where users can upload videos to a service.
The project is written in Django, but the videos and transcoding of
these is handled by a remote server in our media corporation.
The API for uploading to this server only accepts HTTP POST, and this
is where I'm a

Hi there!
I'm using Amazon S3 for file storage, and I have to send the file
directly from request.FILES.
(I could always save the file locally first, send it to Amazon and
then delete it from my local server, but this would double the wait
for the user.)
Is there a way to only load chunks of
@Forest: I agree, it should be that simple. But let's say you've got a
comment reply plugin. How would we - through a middleware - manage to
intercept our usual comment system, and modify the HTML template
source to fit the plugin? It's cases like these I see the potential
pitfalls of our way of
Ok, so I've been thinking some more.
The model could be something like this:
class Plugin(models.Model):
"""(Plugin description)"""
pointer = models.FilePathField() ## Could work, right?
name = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
When you say "installs", do you mean that the plugin is retrieved from
the external site, and placed somewhere on the users host, or is it
constantly querying the plugin on a remote computer?
The first of those two options would definitely be the best. But I'm
having some problems working it out
This is great, Chris, but the fact of the matter is that it won't
appeal to the "Wordpress crowd".
That group wants in-browser setup, easy plugin architecture etc.
contrib.admin wouldn't do the trick. The admin-panel would have to be
hand made.
For the plugin architecture: I have no idea how

Hi there!
The cache middleware didn't quite suit my needs, so I threw up a small
function to reset the cache key whenever the object is updated.
The functions look like this: http://dpaste.com/hold/13712/
Sample usage would be
>>> entry = cache_key(request, 'blog', Entry.objects.get(id=1))
So there's simply no way around this?
If I'm sticking with the time based cache, it will probably only be
activated
for non-authorized users. The problem is that most of the site is
restricted to
logged in users, so the server load will probably be a bit too high.

It doesn't seem to be dynamic enough, if you understand what I mean.

Thank you for your example, Tim.
I'm sorry, but the problem with it is that it isn't symmetrical.

What would you say is the best way to implement a "news feed" feature,

I just figured it out - with some help in the IRC-channel.
I passed the form variables through datetime.date. That did the trick.

Hi there,
I'm creating a user registration system for a project.
The system uses the SelectDateWidget for user input of birthdate.
When I try to register a new user, the system spits back this error:

This is the relevant code:

Yeah, you're right about that. Your example works best with
editable=False, I'd say.

I'm not quite sure what I'd to, either. Giving the help info its own
model might be good in some way, but it might be a bit overkill.
Totally depends on your application.

Hi there!
I have a model which allows people to upload videos.
In the save-method I run os.system("mencoder *variables"), which
converts the uploaded video to a flash file.
I don't want the user to have to wait until the conversion is done
before he can go on with his business. I've tried the
The thing is that the server load will increase quite a bit when 500
users do the same thing at the same time. It would be nice to get a
different server to take care of this.

I went for a different approach, though. I simply created a simple
