In my Django model I've created custom MyIPAddressField which is stored as integer in mysql backend. To do that I've implemented to_python, get_db_prep_value, get_iternal_type (returns PositiveIntegerField) and formfield methods (uses stock IPAddressField as form_class). The only problem is field lookup in cases like builtin search in M...

I have a model Post, and a model Vote. Vote (form django-voting) is essentially just a pointer to a Post and -1, 0, or 1. There is also Tourn, which is a start date and an end date. A Post made between the start and end of a Tourn is submitted to that tournament. For the sake of rep calculation, I'm trying to find the top 3 winners of...
I have been working on an application in Django. To begin with, for simplicity, I had been using sqlite3 for the database. However, once I moved to PostgreSQL, I've run into a bit of a problem: the primary key does not reset once I clear out a table. This app is a game that is played over a long time period (weeks). As such, every t...
I am creating a little dashboard for a user that will allow him to run specific jobs.

Inspired by the question series 'Hidden features of ...', I am curious to hear about your favorite Django tips or lesser known but useful features you know of. Please, include only one tip per answer. Add Django version requirements if there are any. ...

We have a couple of Django applications deployed on the same subdomain. A few power users need to jump between these applications. I noticed that each time they bounce between applications their session cookie receives a new session ID from Django. I don't use the Django session table much except in one complex workflow. If the use...
Hello Django experts I am trying to create my first site in Django and as I'm looking for example apps out there to draw inspiration from, I constantly stumble upon a term called "reusable apps".
