I followed along this tutorial for django's RSS and ATOM feeds and I got it to work. However the test development server keeps making the browser download the feeds as a file instead of the browser detecting it as an xml document. My experience with HTTP tells me that there is a missing mime type in the Content-Type header. How do I ...
I recently started experimenting with Python decorators (and higher-order functions) because it looked like they might make my Django unit tests more concise. e.g., instead of writing: def visit1(): login() do_stuff() logout() I could instead do @handle_login def visit1(): do_stuff() However, after some experimentin...
When building a Django project its common to use many pre-built apps. For example, for tinymce or open-id. It would be nice to keep these separated from project-specific apps. My idea would be to create an "addons" directory/module in the project. It should then be possible to use: from addons.tinymce import models However, tinymce...

Hi At the minute, I'm using Django's object_list to handle pagination. I'm happy to move to the proper Paginator() class if you think I need it after you hear my problem: On the homepage, I want to paginate by 7, but on all other pages I want to paginate by 10.

What is the right way to create custom pgsql types for django application so that each time database is created with syncdb, all custom types are created prior to creating any tables (so that tables can use this type)? I also use django-evolution, but that's not an appropriate solution — it runs after syncdb. I can imagine doing a worka...
