I can't find a good clean way to lock a critical section in DJango. I could use a lock or semaphore but the python implementation is for threads only, so if the production server forks then those will not be respected. Does anyone know of a way (I am thinking posix semaphores right now) to guarantee a lock across processes, or barring ...
Is there a good way in Django to convert an entire model to a dictionary? I mean, like this: class DictModel(models.Model): key = models.CharField(20) value = models.CharField(200) DictModel.objects.all().to_dict() ... with the result being a dictionary with the key/value pairs made up of records in the Model? Has anyone els...
So I'm creating a django app that allows a user to add a new line of text to an existing group of text lines. However I don't want multiple users adding lines to the same group of text lines concurrently.

I'd like to use a number with a decimal point in a Django URL pattern but I'm not sure whether it's actually possible (I'm not a regex expert). Here's what I want to use for URLs: /item/value/0.01 /item/value/0.05 Those URLs would show items valued at $0.01 or $0.05. Sure, I could take the easy way out and pass the value in cents so...

I can set the template to be the same as the page I logged in on, but none of my other objects exist in the new page. For example, I have a front page that shows a bunch of news articles. On the ...
As far as I know, for a new request coming from a webapp, you need to reload the page to process and respond to that request. For example, if you want to show a comment on a post, you need to reload the page, process the comment, and then show it. What I want, however, is I want to be able to add comments (something like facebook, wh...
