I run into this problem pretty consistently... keep in mind I am quite new to Django and a total Python amateur. It seems that, for example, whenever I check out my Django project on a new computer after a clean install of Python and Django, it can never find the project/apps I create or copy in. So right now I have an app that is work...
Let's say I don't have more than one or two dozen objects with different properties, such as the following: UID, Name, Value, Color, Type, Location I want to be able to call up all objects with Location = "Boston", or Type = "Primary". Classic database query type stuff. Most table solutions (pytables, *sql) are really overkill for su...

Recently started on python, wondered what the equivalent object was for storing session & application scope data? I'm using Google App Engine too so if it has any extra features (can't seem to find any immediate references myself) that would be useful ...
In a sequel question to this question, my corporate environment lacks the libpython2.6.so shared object but has the libpython2.6.a file. Is there a way that I can compile in libpython2.6.a while retaining the symbols in libpython2.6.a such that dynamic libraries can find these symbols at runtime? My current compile with the static libr...
I'm teaching myself Python networking, and I recalled that back when I was teaching myself threading, I came across this page, so I copied the scripts, updated them for Python 3.1.1 and ran them. They worked perfectly. Then I made a few modifications. My goal is to do something simple: The client pickles an integer and sends it to t...

I have a database full of reviews of various products. My task is to perform various calculation and "create" another "database/xml-export" with aggregated data. I am thinking of writing command line programs in python to do that. But I know someone have done this before and I know that there is some open source python solution or simila...
EDIT!!! - The casting of the value to a string seems to work fine when I create a new object, but when I try to edit an existing object, it does not allow it. So I have a decimal field in one of my models of Decimal(3,2) When I query up all these objects and try to set this field fieldName = 0.85 OR fieldName = .85 It will throw a ...

Assume for a moment that one cannot use print (and thus enjoy the benefit of automatic encoding detection). So that leaves us with sys.stdout. However, sys.stdout is so dumb as to not do any sensible encoding. Now one reads the Python wiki page PrintFails and goes to try out the following code: $ python -c 'import sys, codecs, locale; ...
I'm trying to share a composite structure through a multiprocessing manager but I felt in trouble with a "RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded" when trying to use just one of the Composite class methods. The class is token from code.activestate and tested by me before inclusion into the manager. When retrieving the class into...
I need to raise an exception in a model's save method. I'm hoping that an exception exists that will be caught by any django ModelForm that uses this model including the admin forms. I tried raising django.forms.ValidationError, but this seems to be uncaught by the admin forms. The model makes a remote procedure call at save time, and ...
