I pulled the source for the bugs.python.org tracker and took a look.
The function I got to work better in my demo tracker was:
import random
from roundup.cgi.actions import Action
from roundup.cgi.exceptions import Redirect
class RandomIssueAction(Action):
def handle(self):
"""Redirect to a random open issue."""
issue = self.db.getclass('issue')
issue_ids = issue.filter(None, {'status': 1})
random.seed()
url = self.db.config.TRACKER_WEB + 'issue' + random.choice(issue_ids)
raise Redirect(url)
def init(instance):
instance.registerAction('random', RandomIssueAction)
I changed:
the way I got the handle to issues from the db
the way the list of id's in my tracker instance
I was getting tracebacks otherwise. Since you do get redirected to a
page on bugs.python.org you obviously aren't getting traceback so this
new function may not work.
Originally triggering the random action I saw a lot of repeats. My
thought was that the random function wasn't so random. The new 1.5.1+
(what will be 1.6) roundup uses more random data than 1.4.20. Addition
of nonces to protect against csrf etc. consumes random data.
So I added random.seed(). This seemed to increase the randomness of the
function. You may want to try adding random.seed() to your existing
function and see if that helps.
Even after seeding, I still saw duplicates, but there were only 20
issues to choose from. In your case you have 6000+ issues to select
from duplicates by chance are reduced.
