I tried...

Does anyone know about any solutions for keeping data bigger, than 1mb in memcached ? This is no big deal to cut big data to 1mb pieces before setting and merge this pieces after getting from memcached. And this algorithm can work transparently for users. This can works on the base of this snippet http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippe...

I'm creating a multiple-tenant application that won't use any of the standard Django Admin (except for internal use which will have access to all tenants... that's simple enough). I'm trying to create an authorization system of my own and I'm not interested in using the standard User model (or any built-in application's model). My applic...
Can a kind soul point me to some good documentation or code samples on setting up group based permissions with Django? My requirements are fairly simple - I just need to enable/disable functionality based on what groups a user belongs to. ...
I have a path to a zip file. I don't know how to retrieve the file from the hard drive or open that zip file. Does anyone know? The zip file is a zip file, but it's really a .epub file. ...
I have python server based on django and celery. Each time computer restarts, apache2 starts so my server is working, BUT I have to restart celery manually (going to my project directory and executing "python manage.py celeryd"). What is the correct solution for production? I mean, is there a possibility to start celery as daemon? Here...
I'm developing an SAAS and having the hardest time wrapping my brain around why I need to use "User" for anything other than myself. I don't know why but it makes me queezy to think that I, as the developer/admin of the entire software, with full Django Admin access (like the Eye of Sauron), have the same type of User object as an "Accou...
I can't figure out how I'm supposed to order these models that have a M2M relationship. When I try to syncdb, I can't because the Model related model is not in the namespace yet, so I get: NameError: name 'FavoriteQuestion' is not defined If I switch places, I get: NameError: name 'UserProfile' is not defined class UserProfile(models....

So far the Documentation for Django has been too technical. How do I create a session and store variables in it or get variables from it? I'm new to the Django framework, hence why the Documentation is too technical. Sessions are my 'last step'. ...
I'm creating a SAAS as a project, and can't seem to wrap my dinosaur brain around this auth system. I started to roll my own system before I realized you could add on to the normal auth system. Is this completely wrong? Should I somehow extend the User model but still include all of my own attributes (username, password, etc)? from djan...
I moved my first Django project from DjangoEurope to Webfaction, and that started an issue looking like a memory leak. With every single request memory usage of the server process goes up about 500kb. It never goes down. This goes on until Webfaction kills it for using too much memory. I can clearly see this when I refresh the Django's ...

So far Django has good integration with several RDBMS. NoSQL, schema-less and document-oriented DBMS are picking up. What's the status of integration those on-trend and fashionable DBMSes with Django? Are there any production-ready or at least ready-to-use libraries for Django? So far I have these at hand: http://github.com/lethain/co...
