I need to find out average age of items (groupped by various criteria, but it does not seem to be the issue). However I fail to find how to effectively create aggregation over DateTimeField using Django (on top of MySQL). Pure Item.objects.all.aggregate(Avg('created')) seems to produce absolutely bogus values (eg. 20081988007238.133) an...
I've been playing with the community edition of JetBrains ItelliJ IDEA since it came out, and I really like it; however, a lot of plugins seem to require the ultimate edition (or at least I think they do because of the com.intellij.modules.ultimate dependency). Is there a python plugin that doesn't require the ultimate edition? I'm devel...
I have multiple models that I want to create generic inputs for. My first pass used two separate urls: url(r'^create_actor/$, create_object, {'model': Actor, 'template_name': 'create.html', 'post_save_redirect': '/library/', 'extra_context': {'func': 'Create Actor'}, 'login_required': 'True'}), url(r'^create_movie/$, create_object, {'...

Can you configure a Django development server to handle wildcard sub-domains? I need to test any arbitrary sub-domain on my dev server and this is not possible by modifying the /etc/hosts/ The subdomain actually controls key behavior on the site (each user gets their own sub-domain and a user can have access to multiple sub-domains req...

I'm guessing Yes, but I'm not sure. Both Authenticated Sessions and Anonymous Sessions would reference the stored sessions via the cookie. ########### edit: Clarify It seems that sessions require some way of referencing for the stored session data. This reference could be stored in a cookie OR added as a parameter in the URL. ...
If I set a session in mydomain.com, it doesn't work on www.mydomain.com. I'd like all subdomains, and all www, to be treated as one big thing. mydomain.com and all its subdomains should have all the session cookies of everything. Do I change this in Apache2? edit I think I found the solution: SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN = ".mydomain.com" ...
I'm finding django foreign keys a bit confusing, is there any way to do the view below, using a single query? # Model class Programme(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length = 64) class Actor(models.Model): programme = models.ForeignKey(Programme) name = models.CharField(max_length = 64) # View def list_actors(...

I'm filtering a few categories (cat1, cat2, cat3) to be rendered by different views then all the rest by other view functions. It is getting unwieldy to keep adding category slugs to the urlpatterns each time one is added. Can I factor that part out of the regex some how? urlpatterns = patterns('catalog.category_views', (r'^(?P<ca...

I'm developing a django website which for production uses mod_wsgi - there are barely any visitors so anytime I visit it seems mod wsgi starts up and opens the python processes - it takes about 1-2 entire minutes for it to fully load.
