Thanks Shawn! That was quick! Meanwhile I just discovered http://farmdev.com/projects/fixture which I have just confirmed works fine for hand-written fixtures with my app, although using python classes as fixtures feels a little odd. Nice that it's cross-platform though, it supports sqlalchemy

Fixtures with deferred / auto-generated primary keys?

2010-10-22 Thread Paul Winkler
It would sometimes be useful to be able to write fixtures that essentially say "I don't care what the PK of this record is, as long as I have a way for other records in this fixture to refer to it." Use case: I'd like a way to pass around useful data sets that people can load into deployments of

what to do instead of adding to Query.extra_where ?

Hi folks, I'm working on a codebase (a fork of http://code.google.com/p/ebcode/) that is supposed to be run against Django 1.1. It has several lines like this: clone.query.extra_where += ('db_newsitem.id = db_attribute.news_item_id',) That line raises a traceback like this: Traceback (most

2010-08-17 Thread Paul Winkler
Seems to me that "on boot up" doesn't mean anything in a shared- nothing architecture like Django's. For example if you deploy on eg. mod_wsgi. You have no idea how long any particular thread or process is going to live, and no idea how often this "boot" code would get run. But assuming that's
