I have the following code in my Django application: if 'book' in authorForm.changed_data: #Do something here...

I am not interested in contributing patches to the Django project. I do not need the Subversion history for the Django trunk. I plan to use Git as the DVCS/SC...

I started to learn Django a few days ago, and as i dive into it it seems that I'm starting to like it even more. Trying to migrate from other language. I won't say which one, as the purpose of this question is not to bash anything. So i would like to know your opinion about Django. What do you like about it? What made you switch/use...

I've just started playing with Django and am loosely following the tutorial with my own set of basic requirements. The models I've sketched out so far are a lot more comprehensive than the tutorial, but they compile fine. Otherwise, everything should have been the same. My problem is with the admin application. I can log into it, and vi...
How can I create a query for a full outer join across a M2M relationchip using the django QuerySet API? It that is not supported, some hint about creating my own manager to do this would be welcome.

I remember reading somewhere on the internets about a half-assed tiny django CMS app, which was basically built on 'snippets' of text. The idea was, that in the admin, you make a snippet (say a description of a product), give it a name (such as 'google_desc') and call it in a template with something like {% snippet google_desc %} and ba...
Aside for a few user guides found at http://fi.am/en/tag/django/2/ I have not managed to find much about WAPI. I was wondering if anyone has had an experience using WAPI and django to create a web api? I'm a little intimidated by the amount of magic these frameworks seem to do. Are there any other good alternatives to creating a web ap...

If I put just an <a> link, the browser will open the image instead of downloading it. Adding an HTTP header like: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="beach008.jpg" works, but since...
