Django will email ADMINS upon 500 errors. Reading app-engine-patch docs, it claims to enable mail support, but I can't tell if it does so enough to support 500 emailing. I tried it and it doesn't seem to be working, but it is a silent failure with no log messages, so I might have misconfigured something. Does anyone have experience wi...
I have a Django view which creates 500-5000 new database INSERTS in a loop. Problem is, it is really slow! I'm getting about 100 inserts per minute on Postgres 8.3. We used to use MySQL on lesser hardware (smaller EC2 instance) and never had these types of speed issues. Details: Postgres 8.3 on Ubuntu Server 9.04. Server is a "large"...
