Why does Django admin try to encode strings into ASCII rather than Unicode? Or is this error something different than it looks like?
I've got the following error: TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/results_cop/copsegmentresult/ Caught an exception while rendering: ('ascii', 'ISU European Figure Skating Championships 2009: Senior Ladies Ladies: Short Program - 2.

Why are django projects python packages?
Why aren't they simply directories? Any good advice says to keep as much as possible in the apps and not to couple them to the project. The very ability to import an app as project.application discourages this. Why does django-admin.py create the __init__.py at all? The project is perfectly useful without it. What is the justification? ...

Why is Django's Meta an old-style class?
I noticed that in Django models, there is a class Meta which makes some additional definitions about the model. My question is, why is this done as an old-style class? (i.e. not subclassing object?) Is there a reason for this or is this just a custom? Could I do it as a new-style class in my projects? ...
Django: Check if foreign key attribute is set
I have the following model: class A(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50) content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType) This model is supposed to be the root model in some inheritance tree and content_type attribute is a kind of a hint about what type is really stored. Obviously, I should calculate content_type...
