The documentation says: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#time-zone Note that this is the time zone to which Django will convert all dates/times -- not necessarily the timezone of the server. For example, one server may serve multiple Django-powered sites, each with a separate time-zone setting. Normal...

I'm trying to develop a site that will allow users to pay for services with eChecks that other users are offering. The purchaser would pay money that would go into my account via direct deposit. The service provider could later withdraw money up to the amount they accumulated to their bank account. Every time I ask payment gateway prov...
I've been tackling this for a while. I setup a completely new machine. I've installed a fresh copy of postgresql and all my other dependencies. Basically, I get these database disconnections at random times. I can perform identical requests and either it works or it doesn't. Very nondeterministic in outward appearance. Watching logs at P...

Building a Django app on a VPS. I am not very experienced with setting up my own server, but I decided to try a VPS this time around. I have been doing a bunch of research to learn how to "properly" setup a LAMPython server using the Apache worker MPM. Naturally, the mod_python vs mod_wsgi debate came up. Reading Graham Dumpleton's ...

I don't know why the author did this. I'm really new to Django, wondering if anyone else knows. I know you can...
This is a best-practices question. When writing tests in Django, is it better to hard code urls in your tests.py, or to use the dispatch's reverse() function to retrieve the correct url? Using hard-coded urls for testing only feels like the right way, but at the same time I can't think of a good enough argument for not using reverse()....

I've got a few small web projects where I'd like to get some user feedback however the services I've found are not cheap. To get to a useful level of features on UserVoice or Get Satisfaction I'd be needing to be on at least the $90/month plan on either service, multipled by a few sites is far more than I can justify spending for a few s...
