Hi All, I am working on a django project, where I want to implement a signal which should be called when some user address is changed.

I am currently comparing available web frameworks to be used for my next projects. The only criterion I need are speed and portability, i.e shared hosting friendly. I have tried Ruby on Rails, but its speed/performance is not good enough for me. I am interested in Django, but I think it is not that friendly on shared hosting - correct m...
I have a model with a json field. The contents of which may or may not be pretty-printed, I don't really mind either way as long as the data is valid. However when it is displayed in django admin I would like for the contents of the field to be pretty printed so that it is easy to read. I don't mind if this means the pretty printed versi...

The code to empty the cart is: for cart in Cart.objects.filter(...
I'm trying to implement User Registration for my Django app. The book I read mentions UserCreationForm but I need more than just name, password, and email address. I could implement my own user object and use ModelForm I think, but then I lose out on some of the django conveniences for authentication. Finally, I read something about U...
