e.g. no foreign keys

and in mysql :P

I knew InnoDB had support for FKs but don't remember if they have cascade options but I guess they're to be expected

in any case having an ORM that encourages you to write raw sql is really sad, but anyway I'll see what are my options

thanks guys!

Anyone know how to deal with uploaded csv files that are utf-16 encoded? (like google contacts)

I got it to work (finally) by running the chunk through smart_unicode, doing unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', uline).encode('utf-8','ignore') and then writing that to a temp file... but that is a crazy hack

I just wonder how much my speed will suffer from making a tempfile (disc reading/writing )

cronosa: StringIO?

Hey all

I'm getting a "NotImplementedError" when attempting to use {{some_date|date:"B"}}, even though {{some_date|date:"b"}} works just fine. any thoughts?

davidcramer: Yea, don't know why I didn't think of that... way better than a tempfile...

TankC: B must not be implemented

TankC: wait... you're wondering why you get a "NotImplemented" error using B.. when the docs say it's Not Implemented ?

Ah, didn't see that, I was looking at the date filter

thanks FunkyBob

hey all, if I have a local UploadedFile created by a custom upload handler, how can I save that to a FileField.FieldFile instance without a) reading the whole UploadedFile into RAM, or b) reading the file at all? Files are big

I think I could probably iterate over chunks of the UploadedFile and write them to the FieldFile, but it occurs to me there might be a less IO intensive way to achieve the same result

Any idea why this: http://dpaste.com/238191/ returns a very cryptic 'Unhandled Exception' page?

When I try to access /hub

dobreira: can't see much in that snippet, is it real code? in any case you're not returning from the view

also why throw back the request? and you sure it is str()able?

also, add ^ to hub/ on the patterns

dobreira: Err... Your url patterns are pretty weird.

dobreira: include means that you're including subset of urlpatterns from "dafk.hub.views.dispatcher" module.

Probably - I think I got the error, it's telling me 'dispatcher' is not a valid module (ImportError)

oh good catch, you're include()ing the view itself xD

so I should remove the include?

ohh

that makes sense

:|

Thanks guys.

Also, is it correct to do: sitename.appname...

or is it just appname. ...

dobreira: That's totally up to you do you want to use in-project or out-of-project apps.

depends on your pythonpath, I prefer sitename.appname

Basically if you're trying to make pluggable apps (which is more like a myth) it's more natural to use appname.something stuff.

Ah, makes sense.

Got it working great, thanks once again

if it's tightly coupled project with project specific stuff it can be prefixed with a project.

dobreira: And HttpResponse takes a string as a first parameter...

(or iterator returning strings)

OK, I found the docs to help me :)

anyone know offhand what version of oauth django-piston uses?

Hi all!

Hi, is it possible to make a Template() loaded from a string (not a file) inherit another Template() loaded from a string in order to use {% block %} tags?

mmalone: of course

mmalone: in the end, they're all templates made from strings

mammique: even

FunkyBob, yes, it sounds obivous to me as well at first, but i can't make it.

oh, wait.... I re-read your question

like a template string with "{% block main %}hello you{% endblock main %}" that inherits another template string like: {% block main %}hello world{% endblock main %}"

you can make a template loaded from a string extend one from a file...

but it can't extend another from-string one...

Yes, I know ahow to do that.

because extend will call get_template()

Yes :-/

So there is no solution ? At a lower level?

is there a particular reason you're trying to do this?

you could play games with a custom template loader... but ... well

FunkyBob, yes, one template is very dynamic (simple string that changes often), and the other one is loaded from DB (for conveingance)

So none are from filesystem.

mammique: You can load templates from db through template loader...

mammique: That's how I do it in my system.

though, wonder where this "often changing template fragment" is coming from...

FunkyBob, it is not possible to insert a compiled template in the inheritance hierarchy of another one before rendering ?

jtiai, ha, you made a custom loader?

mammique: Surely. For simple db based "static" templates is not a big trick. I can provide code if you want to.

gah i dont know why but setting my favicon and a page background are proving very challenging with cherokee

jtiai, I'd like to take a look yes if you can :-)

anyone know how I verify in a clean() method that a filefield was given a value?

you can write your own template loader

it isn't that bad

mammique: what's your use case for this?

mammique: http://dpaste.com/238209/ almost all you need.

take a look at http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tr...

mammique: But likr FunkyBob asked, what's your particular usecase..?

just implement BaseLoader from http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tr...

add it to your TEMPLATE_LOADERS in settings.py

and, tada!

FunkyBob: that is a tough question!

lawgon: from what I see in the code, it should be just as all other fields

lawgon: and looking at firebug, it looks, in fact, like my page is only sending one file

lawgon: ok, that time it did... fark!

HI FunkyBob and lawgon

as long as cleaned_data holds the information, it should be the same

(never had occasion to check whether cleaned_data also covers request.FILES

hi

hi

great ! thanks FunkyBob, jtiai, mmalone

fo sho

lawgon: so, the problem turned out to be some obscure modelform inheritance issues

how do I write the url config for browsing categories like 'browse/category1/category2/etc'?

don't

either pass your category filter values as GET params... or write your own URL splitter/parser

r'^browse/(?P<category>.*)$' categories = filter(None, category.split('/') )

FunkyBob: thanks again!

john2x: but really... don't do that :)

oh.. so I should just go with GET?
