I will be frequently running testcases for my django project. But one fine day it occured to me that django actually checks the settings.DATABASE_NAME db actual existence while running testcases. Why is this so. All I thought was django will be taking the settings.DATABASE_NAME and creates a test db called 'test_' + settings.DATABASE_NAM...

I am writing a backup system in Python, with a Django front-end. I have decided to implement the scheduling in a slightly strange way - the client will poll the server (every 10 minutes or so), for a list of backups that need doing. The server will only respond when the time to backup is reached. This is to keep the system platform indep...
Here's how my university handles authentication: we redirect the user to a website, they enter in their username and password, then they get redirected back to us with the username and a login key passed in the query string.

At least it seems to come to a screeching halt once you get past the most rudimentary of forms. I'm more than willing to take a link to good documentation, or a link to a good book that covers this topic, as an answer...
