New to python and django. Using the forms module and going through the errors one by one (so not just dumping them at the top) I noticed this solution to be able to set a custom format for errors, in my case, it'd be: <dd class="error">errstr</dd> And more or less copying the example provided, I have the following: forms.py ( I expan...
I'm trying to create a form in Django. That works and all, but I want all the errors to be at the top of the form, not next to each field that has the error. I tried looping over form.errors, but it only showed the name of the field that had an error, not an error message such as "Name is required." This is pretty much what I'd like to ...

The problem I'm confronted with is how to merge settings.py att...
I have django code that interacts with request objects or user objects. For instance something like: foo_model_instance = models.get_or_create_foo_from_user(request.user) If you were going to test with the django python shell or in a unittest, what would you pass in there? Here simply a User object will do, but the need for a mock req...
I'm randomly getting 500 server errors and trying to diagnose the problem. The setup is: Apache + mod_python + Django My 500.html page is being served by Django, but I have no clue what is causing the error.

Hello everyone, I have a field in a model that I want users to feel like they can write an arbitrary amount of text in. Django provides a CharField and a TextField in the models.
