Hey all, I'm writing a Python-based shell script to boilerplate a Django app with virtualenv, pip, and fabric. Should be straightforward enough, but it appears that I'm not able to activate and run commands in the virtualenv through the shell script. os.system('virtualenv %s --no-site-packages' % project_name) os.system('source %s/bin/...
Hi, I'm having some performance issues because I'm making a lot of query calls that I'm not sure how to reduce. user_item_rel_set is a m2m relation between user and items showing how much a user paid for a particular item. Each item can have multiple users and buyers, and I'm trying to get the m2m relation for a particular user. ...
The Django admin happily supports many-to-one and many-to-many relationships through an HTML <SELECT> form field, allowing selection of one or many options respectively. There's even a nice Javascript filter_horizontal widget to help. I'm trying to do the same from the one-to-many side through related_name. I don't see how it's much dif...
I've been developing in the Symfony framework for quite a time, but now I have to work with Django and I'm having problems with doing something like a "component" or "partial" in Symfony. That said, here is my goal: I have a webpage with lots of small widgets, all these need their logic - located in a "views.py" I guess. But, how do I...
Consider the models: class Author(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique=True) class Book(models.Model): pub_date = models.DateTimeField() author = models.ForeignKey(Author) Now suppose I want to order all the books by, say, their pub_date. I would use order_by('pub_date'). But what if I want a list of all a...
I have a page based on a model object, and I want to have links to the previous and next pages. I don't like my current solution because it requires evaluating the entire queryset (to get the ids list), and then two more get queries. Surely there is some way this can be done in one pass? def get_prev_and_next_page(current_page): ids...
Django is sending the pre/post_delete signals if you are using the queryset.delete() method, but shouldn't it then also send pre/post_save on queryset.update()? ...
I currently have a django site, and it's kind of slow, so I want to understand what's going on. How can I profile it so to differentiate between: effect of the network effect of the hosting I'm using effect of the javascript effect of the server side execution (python code) and sql access. any other effect I am not considering due to t...
How do I do a if a in list_b test in Django 0.96 Templates? I'm having a list of checkboxes and a variable containing a list of corresponding values from a previous submit of the checkboxes. Now I want to set all checkboxes in the list to checked="checked" and I usually use a "if a in listb" test for this. But this doesn't seem to be p...

I have been using Django for several years now and up until this point have always redirected users to a login page after registering their account, and therefore have never had a problem of this sort. I am currently running Django v1.01 and on a new yet-to-be-released site have a combined registration/authenticate/login view which ...
Let's say I have a site where all urls are username specific. For example /username1/points/list is a list of that user's points. How do I grab the /username1/ portion of the url from all urls and add it as a kwarg for all views? Alternatively, it would be great to grab the /username1/ portion and append that to the request as req...

How to set a JavaScript function as handler in the event onclick in a given field of a Django Form. Is this possible? Any clue would be appreciated. ...
EDIT: It turns out the real question is - how do I get select_related to follow the m2m relationships I have defined? Those are the ones that are taxing my system. Any ideas? I have two classes for my django app. The first (Item class) describes an item along with some functions that return information about the item. The second class...

I'm building an small django app in order to manage a store employees roster. The employees are freelancers-like, they have weekly almost-fixed schedules, and may ask for extra ones at any weekday/time. I'm new to both python and django, and I'm using the django admin. Everything works fair enough (for me) when I "manually" add a "Turn...
Is it possible to link specific templates for different flatpages in Django? For example: /about/ -> templates/flatpages/about.html /contact/ -> templates/flatpages/contact.html This is what I have but all these pages point to the default.html template url(r'^(?P<url>about/)$', 'django.contrib.flatpages.views.flatpage'), ur...
Solved: Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve the problem but I started over and followed the Django + FastCGI guide on the "A Small Orange" wiki and everything is working as expected. I am trying to setup Django with FCGI on Apache. The web hosting plan that I am using is A Small Orange's shared hosting plan. Django is installed, worki...
