DjangoBot: #django

tyrion-mx: of course. but that's your choice, not django's.

subsume|work, yes, but how can I tell to a archive_day view to get only the needed stuff, I guess I can't

tyrion-mx: I don't see the barrier, I guess.

hoangelos: yes.

I am not understaing

me either.

Is there a way to selectivly remove an item from a queryset?

I am attempting to give the user an option to autofill one form field on a form for 'fruit'. I am passing users/fruit/basket=2. If basket=2 was passed, I should pass it to the FruitForm and set it as the default value, right?

pjcrosier: the urls / generic views worked again fine, but i can't seem to display objects in my object_detail view

pjcrosier: same problem i had when i did this the first time, so i created a wrapper

pjcrosier: nevermind got it =X

So how should I do to make an archive_day view load

only the needed stuff

tyrion-mx: using generic views or your own?

generic views

What exactly does this mean? 'str' object is not callable on line: form = form_class(request.POST)

tyrion-mx, have you checked what query it actually performs

the goal is not to write my own "wrapper views"

tyrion-mx: I thought the generic date views already had mechanisms to do what you want.

truebosko: I run into that sometimes...its an obvious bug but I forget what. paste if you want.

truebosko: probably that form_class is a string, of course

jhenry: do you know if mod_wsgi can only be used with the version of python that it was compiled against?

I'm trying to see if I can install two versions of pythons and serve one with mod_python and another with something else, so I can move to it slowly

I don't know; I compiled my whole toolchain.

pjcrosier, I read the code, It not performs any query (if I understood), it uses the "queryset" keyword-arg

yep, but at some point a query happens, which seems to be your concern

Magus- Ah yes, my bad

jhenry: thanks. was hoping not to have to do that honestly

The query should happen in my "info_dict" where I put Entry.objects.all()

tyrion-mx, but it's lazy

Anyone know offhand how to prevent the admin interface from automatically adding in paragraph tags?

hoangelos: theoretically you should be able to just compile mod_wsgi on your system and go from there without compiling a new python interpreter, etc.

though you may be able to run it with a different version of the interpreter; i'm not an expert on it.

yeah. it's hard I'm trying to get satchmo going

but I'm running 2.3, because running centos 4.2

and I don't like compiling. I'd prefer an RPM, but can't find an RPM that gives me both python and mod_python for 2.4

maybe I'll just search for an SRPM

hoangelos: compiling mod_wsgi is pretty easy. just download the source, make sure you have httpd-devel installed, specify path to axps and load the module in your moduledir.

that sounds a lot harder when i say it, doesn't it.

well I have an RPM for mod_wsgi

but I'm sure it's linked to my current python 2.3

I found 2.4 as an RPM from pyvault

but that means I'd need to at least compile that unless I can find a SRPM I guess

why would mod_wsgi be linked against /any/ python?

I thought it was

doesn't it just speak wsgi to anything?

mod_python is the one linked to python...

so how does mod_wsgi know what version of python to hand off to?

is that done in my app then or some config file I assume

Magus-: mod_wsgi can run python inside the interpreter, so that's the only reason that I'm fuzzy on whether it has an interpreter compiled into the module.

I am attempting to give the user an option to autofill one form field on a form for 'fruit'. I am passing users/fruit/basket=2. If basket=2 was passed, I should pass it to the FruitForm and set it as the default value, right?

blah. can run the interpeter inside the apache process.

pjcrosier: thanks so much for the insight, i was making it way more complicated than it had to be

sounds like worst case I'll need to get a SRPM of mod_wsgi and compile it against the version I want of python, but no harm in trying to just use it I guess

pjcrosier, be patient but I don't understand what "it's lazy" means

I'm trying to set up a development server on a Windows box with Apache and mod_python. Apache and mod_python are installed. I am now setting up Apache, following this guide: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modp...

Magus-: hate to bug you personally but could you chime in my above comment.

The problem is that it doesn't want to start serving my django project

I have placed the django project inside the htdocs directory

manage.py runserver still works

Generally you want to put your project outside of htdocs

stunsch: my django directory is at /var/django/

tyrion-mx, you were concerned that objects.all() would be executed each time you use archive_day?

Ah, you were talking about "lazy evaluation"! I didn't think that django were so smart

it was acually outside, but didn't know how to make it work.

tyrion-mx: yeah. its lazy! =)

pjcrosier, yes I was thinking that everytime I called all() it does the query

I have added the location tag to the httpd.conf file, but am not sure about this line: "SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings"

tyrion-mx, the actual query is very specific, it builds on the objects.all() you provide but it is only evaluated in it's more specific form :D

Not sure what mysite.settings should say

tyrion-mx, example query - http://dpaste.com/41908/

Ok, thank you all :)

If you have created a project called 'someproject' it should read someproject.settings

How could I override __init__ on a ModelForm and give it a default value? self.fields['field'].set_the_default_damnit('default_value') ?

And you need to make sure that the *parent directory* is on the python path

^^ initial value, I mean

I was thinking so, because I saw the results on the console when I did objects.all(), and I was expecting something like: <a Query Object (not executed)>

anyone ever got trouble with the test clients not being able to login ?

i'm logging in alright with the browser

but on the same DB the client.login() returns a 500 page with 'tuple' object is not callable

hello all... is it feasable to run a couple of low traffic websites on a 256mb server?

django powered websites

I do

and what would be the best option to serve them and consume memory?

form = ContactForm(request.user,initial={'service' : request.GET['service']},instance=model) <--- 'service' is not populating with initial. why?

Magus-: how do you do it?

what do you mean?

subsume|work: because the instance provides the data

Magus-: which server, apache, lighttpd...? mod_python/fastcgi/something else?

Anyone? -> Know offhand how to prevent the admin interface from automatically adding in paragraph tags?

Magus-: in this case instance=None

is it possible to change the value that a filter or get lookup returns if there are zero records found ?

cablehead: I use apache/modpython

valiza1: no

Magus-: even without instance=model the initial isn't populated.

Magus-: that's good to know

Magus-: right... thanks

subsume|work: are you sure you're matching the right field name also?

hrmm when I use os.system, do I check for 0 as a failure status?

Magus-: its an FK. should I pass it as service_id?
