Django is my favorite python web framework. I've tried out others like pylons, web2py, nevow and others. But I've never looked into TurboGears with much enthusiasm. Now with TG2 out of beta I may give it a try. I'd like to know what are some of the pros and cons compared to Django. ...
I was wondering if someone could help me out. In some web application, the app will send out emails, say when a new message has been posted. Then instead of signing into the application to post a reply you can just simply reply to the email and it will automatically update the web app with your response. My question is, how is this do...
In Django / Pinax, I've come across the login form which starts like this : <form class="login" method="POST" action=""> It works perfectly well. So I assume that either some java-script or something in the Django framework is putting the value into the action attribute. So my questions ; a) How does Django insert the action? b) Wh...

Businessmen typically want a web application developed. They are aware of .net or J2EE by names, without much knowledge about either. Altho' Rails and Django offer for a much better and faster development stack, it is a big task to convince businessmen to use these platforms. The task begins with introducing Django (or Rails), quoting ...
I would like to audit when a user has experienced an idle timeout in my Django application. In other words, if the user's session cookie's expiration date exceeds the SESSION_COOKIE_AGE found in settings.py, the user is redirected to the login page. When that occurs, an audit should also occur. By "audit", I mean a record should be wri...

Now, as I'm getting my feet wet with git, I'm starting to love it! And I'm thinking if maybe I should use it instead of unison to ...

Everything works great! But, here is another one urlpatterns = patterns('django....
I am writing a web application that uses ajax to add new forms on the page. Existing forms are made using inlineformset_factory. When client side gets the form it inserts it in the right position and updates the value of #id_form_type-TOTAL_FORMS" (form_type is name of the form in this example). Existing forms have name for each field l...

I've been able to use the python debugger tool.. pdb.set_trace() to success, especially when using the django development server, i.e. it out puts to the terminal all of the server activity, including the pdb interface. So, how does one do...
