First time I think I've ever tried this. I'm using postgres and the database is configured correctly and I have psql.exe on my path. So at the dos prompt I can: C:\>psql -d postgres -U admin type in the password and I'm fine. If I open the prompt within my project directory I can do the same

Sort of OT on the django book

Since the Django book 2.0 is up and ready, I'm doing a read of it. At first I was using firefox to read it but decided to switch over to Opera so that I could use Opera's note taking feature. One of the interesting things about the 2.0 book is it's commenting feature. But this doesn't show up in

Django book mostly done?

I happened to visit the Django Book site 2.0 It still says that it's not complete, but it seems to cover everything the 1.0 did except for deployment and the Appendices. Could a person get a pretty good grounding in django now by reading 2.0? I guess what I mean is that for the past few

I'm trying to get this setup on my computer to simulate what I will have online in preparation for any problems that might be encountered. I've got apache2 and mod_python working together, I was able to get the basic Hello World and a form/response on it, so I know that's working. I've had

I'm going through Sam's 24 hour. I've looked at this code for hours now, starting from about a week ago. I decided it wasn't that important and moved on. But now the author keeps referring back to this view and it hampers my continuing the code. It basically just adds a blog object as an

Hi folks. PersonForm is a modelform. I'm trying to validate data by calling an instance of PersonForm. (This is from Sam's 24 hour, and I've modified the example to accommodate the 1.0 changes.) So, if request.method == 'POST': if request.POST['submit'] == 'update': message =

"Practical Django Projects" -- browsing by tag

Let me try this again, I'm not sure my other post was understood very well. In Bennett's book he wants the Coltrane blog to allow browsing of entries and links by tag. So, I'm trying to write the tag templates to that end. But I don't see how this can be done with the code from the book. I've

tagging in Practical Django Projects

Hi there. I'm still reading this book. I have almost all the templates done for the blog, but I'm stuck on tagging templates. I noticed that with the link_detail view that the bit of code {% if object.tags.count %} was not evaluating to TRUE even though tags were associated with the object.

python 3.0

How much of django's code is broken with python 3.0? I'm not that deep into Python, (yet). So, it strikes me that maybe I'm better off installing 3.0 and learning that rather than sticking to 2.5. But, I don't want to find out I have to go and relearn django all over again.

Hello again. I'm working my way through James Bennet's book. He is implementing the use of a search function in the admin page. The models.py for the project is supposed to read thus: from django.db import models from django.contrib.flatpages.models import FlatPage # Create your models here.

Hate to bother with this, I'm sure it's a small thing. I'm going through the 1st django app tutorial in the django documentation. I'm doing okay until the Unicode statements they want inserted into the models.py file, for the representation of objects in the interpreter. On the website they

Hi there. I'm a python novice, getting into the Mark Lutz tome. I'm pretty enthusiastic about python and when I found out that it could be used in website development I had to look into to Django, (mainly because of the Satchmo project). So, I actually got Django installed and got the webserver
