I found that there is really not much official information available

Has anyone experience with socket.io and gevent instead? Looks
interesting at first glance:





There are other options, such as Orbited, and another on I can't 
remember the name of but I think 'gorilla' had something to do with it.


Hookbox was presented at PyCon this year, and although hookbox.org seems

Re: create open office docs with django - best way to format text?

[Andre Terra]

This is a python question, really. Whether you are running a cli
script or coding logic for your django form, the code will most likely
use a python library to do the doc writing, much like xlwt is used for
writing excel spreadsheets.

Try not including django as a keyword for your google search.

Re: Problem with select_related

Thanks for the suggestion, but I do that and I still see the same problem.
 This is pretty weird to me, because it seems like this should work, and I'm
pretty sure I've done this in other projects and it worked just fine.  I
have no idea why it's not working now.

You can use Alex Gaynor's great app called django-filter available at

It's the best app for the job, hands down.

a.b_set  isn't a QuerySet; it's a RelatedManager.  For most uses, it's
almost the same; but not exactly.  try reversing the select_related()
and all() calls (all() returns a QuerySet):

b_set = a.b_set.all().select_related()

Re: Implementing a User Search Feature

[Doug Ballance]

**filters is python for expand the dict 'filters' into keyword
arguments.

ie
filters={'foo':1}
model.objects.filter(**filters)

is the same as
model.objects.filter(foo=1)

The filters variable is just temporary dictionary for building the
keyword arguments from the form data, electing to omit any empty
values (no point for a search), and then expanding that temp
dictionary into the keyword search arguments needed for the filter()
method.  The names on the form correspond to the lookup names you'd
use for the query.

If you use that form to search for first name 'raj', the filters
dictionary should end up looking like:

{'first_name__istartswith':'raj'}
which would expand (**) to the equivalent of
User.objects.filter(first_name__istartswith='raj')

Re: Weird join conditions

[peroksid]

Thank you, Gianluca.

Unfortunately, filter() has no direct impact on joins configuration
and conditions described in filter() go to WHERE clause.
When you refer another table it will be joined somehow but with only
one equality expression in the condition.
We were discussing join consitions here, which go in ON() in FROM
clause.

error on django-admin.py startproject

[Phil]

Hi,

I recently installed the latest development version of Django from
subversion. I followed all steps on site, got no errors. When I type
"import django" in Python interpreter I get no errors.

But when I try run "django-admin.py startproject mysite" I get the
following error...

"ImportError: No module named functools"

Any idea's on what the problem could be?

I am running python2.7 and latest django.

Many thanks.

Re: Weird join conditions

[peroksid]

I do not really get what you mean under reusable raw query factory.
But object manager's method raw() returns RawQueryManager, which is
pretty useless.
When you first mentioned raw SQL I considered it and made method I
write to get SQL query after all join() and extra() calls were done
and return raw() called with modified SQL query.

But the whole point of my work now is to change object manager method
implementation, leaving it's interface untampered. Otherwise there
will be really a lot of work.

I commented it, the method is covered with tests, so I hope for a
best.

Hi OP,

Is this requirement for a client, or some sort of paid work? If so,
quit the job and find something else.

If this requirement is for your own learning, then do exact that, and
figure these things out for yourself (django-users is not your
personal tutor, but Google is). For example, would it have killed to
type "linux howto" or "linux howto" or "linux for beginners" as a

[Soviet]

Hello
I need to set up EC2 instance to run Django+Python+PostgreSQL+Apache
+Solr+nginx+Mercurial etc. This is all black magic for me - I was only
using shared hosting like webfaction, where everything is dumb-
friendly :). But you know, "the customer is always right", and I have
to run it on Amazon. I did hours of googling, but everything is either
old/outdated or doesn't cover the tools I have to install. So far I'm
stuck on connecting to my instance through PuTTY :D.

Can anyone provide some useful link or step by step tutorial? I have
no experience using Unix command-line-stuff, but im a fast learner :).
Any help would be appreciated. Also, beer is on me when we meet! :)

Problem with select_related

[Matthew Gardner]

Hi all,

I'm seeing some funny behavior when using select_related to try to speed up
my code, and I'm wondering if I'm just misunderstanding something.

The basics of my code:

class A(models.Model):
# some stuff

class B(models.Model):
a = models.ForeignKey('A')
c = models.ForeignKey('C')
d = models.ForeignKey('D')
e = models.ForeignKey('E')
# some stuff

a = A.objects.get(pk=some_id)
b_set = a.b_set.all()

When I do this, b_set has about 8 things in it, and I can get to c, d, e,
and other things just fine.  But, presumably, accessing b.c, b.d, and b.e
are each database calls, and I would like to avoid those if I can.

So to get rid of those database calls and just get all of the related fields
in a single query, I do this:

a = A.objects.get(pk=some_id)
b_set = a.b_set.select_related().all() # recommended in the Django
documentation for some queries

And b_set comes up empty, for some reason that I can't explain.  The only
difference between the two blocks of code is the select_related() call, and
it changes the result by not giving me anything back.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Matt

create open office docs with django - best way to format text?

[andreas]

Hi all,

i am trying to generate open office docs (bulk letters) from my django
app.
I am using django-webodt (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-webodt)
and basically it works really smooth.

The only point i am unsure about is how to 'transfer' the text
formatting from django to an odt doc.
Currently my texts in django are html formatted (using TinyMCE) and i
wonder how to best continue from here.

A simple option is obviously to strip the html and render plain text
in the generated open office docs.
This works, but it would be really nice if my editors could use some
basic formatting (lists, bold etc.)

So what are good options to achieve this?

Is there a way to render html (transform html to rich-text) in an open
office doc?
Or would i be better of to switch to another format for editing the
texts in django (ResT, markup) as there seem to be conversion
libraries?

I'd love to hear how others solved the creation of open office docs
from django.

Thanks!
Andreas

Maybe you can use F objects to create the correct filters? It would be
something like:

object_list = 
ObjectModel.filter(sometable__leftcolumn=F('right_table__right_column'))

and then you can use Q objects to combine two of them:

q1 = Q(sometable__leftcolumn=F('right_table__right_column'))
q2 = Q(right_table__another_column=42)

object_list = ObjectModel.filter(q1 & q2)

Hi guys,

Alright, vote is closed and here are the results:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/gform?key=0AiciLOVZqDWqdENyOVFSSkhSYnhBLVZGTktiN1Z3Y2c=en_GB=0#chart

It looks like I might have to do two separate webcasts to cater for
all timezones, but we'll see.

I'll post up a fixed time/date (or two) shortly.

+1 on Piotr's post.

Although I do see the benefits of Andres's ideas, I do agree that some
things really should be kept separate.

Everything has its place. For me it looks like that:

direct help - IRC
searching for solutions - tutorials, documentation, django snippets
discovering new stuff - email list, StackOverflow
