I need to have all my models inherit this manager (Haven't tested this manager and it may be ridiculous so I'm completely open to suggestion/criticism on it as well): class AccountFilterManager(models.Manager): def __init__(self, account=None, *args, **kwargs): super(AccountFilterManager, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) ...

Django: overriding to_python() on a ForeignKey field and what other methods are called before clean_<fieldname> when validating a form?
I'm trying to solve a problem that I outlined in this question. At the moment it looks like I will have to override the to_python() method on the ForeignKey field. But as far as I can see in django's source code, the ForeignKey class doesn't actually have a to_python() method declared, so it must be inheriting it from the Field class, wh...

Best way to make Django's login_required the default
I'm working on a large Django app, the vast majority of which requires a login to access. This means that all throughout our app we've sprinkled: @login_required def view(...): That's fine, and it works great as long as we remember to add it everywhere! Sadly sometimes we forget, and the failure often isn't terribly evident. If the...
