I'm a PHP guy on my first day in Python-land, trying to convert a php site to python (learning experience), and I'm hurting for advice.

Hi! I want to write a unit test that performs HTTP requests directly (instead of using django.test.client.Client).

Hi First of all, I'm using Windows, just to make that clear. I am using cmd.exe to manage runserver and the server runs just fine. However, sometimes, on a seemingly random basis, Django simply stops writing to stdout! The server responds to my requests and everything, but nothing gets printed.

On Django's admin pages, I'd like to perform an action when the administrator clicks the Delete button for an object. In other words, I'd like to execute some code prior to arriving on the "Are you sure?" delete confirmation page. I realize I could override the template page for this object, but I was hoping for something easier (i.e.,...

Is there a benefit to passing a string in your url patters vs a function instance? It seems like it could be optimized to not actually load the function until it is needed, but is this in fact true? from django.conf.urls.defaults import * from myapp.views import myView urlpatterns = patterns('', # as a string url(r'^as-string/$...
