I'm using Django and want to be able to store classes in a database for things like forms and models so that I can easily make them creatable through a user interface since they are just stored in the database as opposed to a regular file. I don't really know a whole lot about this and am not sure if this is a situation where I need to u...
I keep hitting road blocks with Django and have read about Pylons. Pylons seemed to be exactly what I needed (greener grass), but then I realized that they have global variables all over the place and loads of black magic infused by dark spirits (spirits so dark that they even kill unicorns). Is there anything out there that is enterpri...
Parts of my site should be server over SSL. I'm only using paths (not full URLs) in links so users stay on SSL when opening links. However, when I use the redirect shortcut function the user is redirected to a non-SSL URL. Is there any way to specify that the redirect should happen over SSL? It would be best if redirects behaved just li...
I am working on a django project (my first), and in one of my views, I have a sophisticated html snippet with JS weaved within it. I would like to reuse this "component" somewhere else in the same view. Is there a way of achieving this? Please let me know if this design is faulty to begin with? ...
I am using the following model with Django: class Hit(Model): image = ForeignKey(Image) user = ForeignKey(User) timestamp = DateTimeField(auto_now_add = True) What I need is basically a list that contains the count of "first hits" (i.e. hits with no earlier timestamp for the same image) for every user to create sort of a r...
If I am just getting a list of users, and I have no intention of updating this list, do I have the option of marking the query as 'read only' somehow? Reason being, I know most ORM's keep some sort of change tracking on the rows returned. So if I know before hand that I don't need to update anything, was curious if I could tell the ORM...
I am looking to add a name to my default_from_email address in Django and wanted to know whether you do this through the settings.py file? you have your different options. DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL EMAIL_HOST EMAIL_PASSWORD ... but the email result still ends in from: [email protected] and I would like to change this into My Domain inste...
I'm missing something obvious here. I am trying to process a POST request that contains a mixture of single value and multi value variables. I can get the single valued variables using request.POST.get('variable_name'), for example: logging.debug('sale_date: ' + request.POST.get('SALEDATE')) However, I can't get the multi value variab...
A web app written in Python is planned, Django is a leading contender as framework. One requirement is CAC access, wihout the need to hand enter username and password. From what I can tell, CAC access is not part of the "batteries" included with Django. As a monolithic framework (not necessarily a bad attribute) Django has a rep for b...
Lets assume I had the following Model class A(Models.model): def __init__(self,data): B(a=self,data=data).save() class B(Models.model): data = somefieldtype a = Models.models.ForeignKey('A') now as you might suspect, there is an error in this Model definintion, as one cannot create a relation to the A instance before a...

Basically all i want to know is what is the standard way of implementing web service in Python/Django and has anyone implemented in live production environmen...

First try at playing with model formsets with django and was wondering how to filter by the logged in user. The view below renders a form with all the profiles when I only want them to list one (the user's one). def create_profile(request): ProfileFormSet = modelformset_factory(Profile) if request.method == 'POST': formset...

My django-powered site sits behind a Apache-based loadbalancer. There also is a server handling static file requests, but that's simple. What bothers me is how to handle a user who can be thrown to any of the application servers by the load-balancer? They all share the same DB-cluster (is it smart? Or should I separate it here too?), s...

I want to keep some global settings for my project in Django. I need to have access to these settings from the code. For example, I need to set a current theme for my site that I can set using admin console or from the code. Or I need to set a tagline that will show in the header of all pages. I suppose I should use models for keeping th...
I've been using Django and Django passes in a request object to a view when it's run. It looks like (from first glance) in Flask the application owns the request and it's imported (as if it was a static resource). I don't understand this and I'm just trying to wrap my brain around WSGI and Flask, etc. Any help is appreciated. ...
