DjangoBot: #django

but we don't know jack about app engine

its completely different in many areas

its a patch for django

which is why i thought it was worth a shot, sure appengine is different entirely :)

a 3rd-party, unsupported patch

no arguments from me on that!

i think it is a simple pythonpath problem, but im never too sure about how they shoudl all be setup

i'd like to declare many urlpatterns... is it possible?

huh?

like, urlpattern = patterns('something',(),(),(),) + patterns('somethingelse'),(),(),(),)

sure, why not

s/e')//

you can even do urlpatterns += patterns() down below it

perfect, thx

but can you import() from the same file? ... more, if I have a common prefix among a dozen URL patterns, can I save myself the effort of maintaining a dozen copies?

no you can't include() from the same file

that doesn't make sense

include... that's the one

no, but I want the same effect... here's a bunch of URL patterns with a common prefix

hello infinite loop

so make another file that sets the prefix and includes the other

yeah, no.. no infinite loop... I was wondering if I could reference another list of URL patterns that are defined in the same file

of course I don't want to import the same file

and no, you can't, as I said

and it doesn't make sense, as I said

the desire makes sense, but the action doesn't

is there a djangonic way to upload a csv file into admin and create objects out of that?

since you're not including the object inside the urls.py file

you include the file

it finds it from there

so there's no way to reference one part of the file

markvandenborre: no, django has no magic csv import

Magus-: but is it the right thing to try and do

I don't see an issue with the idea

markvandenborre: no, but it takes very little effort to write an importer

especially with Pythons built in CSV lib

FunkyBob: I have extended a Manager class

also whilst im popping by may as well ask does anyone know what is happening with aggregates as the project had gone quiet last time i looked...

so that it can import csv files

markvandenborre: care to pastebin it?

but it's not this clear to me where the best place to integrate a ui for that is, and what the best way to integrate that is

Verbruik.objects.importcsv("file.csv") does what I want

but it's really the integration with the ui

I'd like to integrate it with the admin interface

markvandenborre: if you put field headings in the first line, you can use dictreader and lose the positional constraint

yes, that would be preferable, obviously

but I'm trying to get the big picture asap

it's not possible to use formset_factory with something like "instances=[list_of_model_objects]" to have a bunch of modelforms?

that would be neat though :B

of how to integrate the csv import with the admin uit (if at all possible)

vicvicvic: erm, formset_factory has nothing to do with models.

you want a modelformset

oh there are those?

FunkyBob: I'm making a note of your suggestion though, for further improvement

silly me

FunkyBob: thx

markvandenborre: then you can introspect the model _meta, and set up proper type conversion :)

FunkyBob: I guess that from the quality of my current code, you can guess how much I still have to learn

:)

when we stop learning... then there's a problem

FunkyBob: maybe I should start by just setting it up outside the admin ui

getting to grasps with ordinary and simple things django better first

yes

Magus-: from looking at the url() and patterns() code, it seems if your 'view' is a list, it will do what I want

huh?

I've been trying to follow this tutorial (http://www.webmonkey.com/tutorial/Install_Djang...) and I've run into some trouble... it tells me that once I create an admin.py I should be able to see some changes in /admin/ of the dev server, but I don't see that and I'm not seeing any errors either...

(r'^foo/', [ list of URL rules ] ) will prefix all those rules with foo/

I don't see how that does much

you'd still need different files for different prefixes?

can i use Q() in get or create?

magus-: re: __unicode__; I tried stopping and restarting apache2 in different ways; tried __str__ which is also not returning anything; even searched the forums for answers, coming up empty; any insite, thx?

you can also do things like r'^%sfoo/' % prefix and define prefix = 'bar/' somewhere

ascii1011: pastebin your code as I suggested before?

Magus-: it may not do much but it does what I want.

get_or_create(Q(track=N) | Q(title=T), defaults=D) ?

magus-: ya, meant to ask you.. i am new and not sure what that is.. looked it up online.. are you referring to a section in the djangoproject?

no...

note in topic

Don't paste in the channel, use http://dpaste.com/

go to that website

see box to paste code in

paste code there, submit

see URL at top for your code

paste URL here

we can then see code without it flooding channel

will do, thank you... your a super resource

with the limit_choiced_to arg on a FK can you refer to the current object?

neybar: no

ascii1011: odd, looks fine there

ascii1011: so does it do anything in the shell either?

magus-: this is the commands I am attempting: >>> Poll.objects.all() and returns this:[<Poll: Poll object>]

I am following the Polls tutorial, wand when adding new polls, int the admin section in the list of polls it's listing each obect as "poll object", not with their title as in the screenshots. Is that normal?

not sure, but that sounds similar to mine issue

can someone take a look at this: http://pastebin.com/m24406b0e and give me a hand

ascii1011: and you're using svn? not 0.96?

i am using the most up-to-date one... even did svn update today..

clad007: if you made __unicode__ wrong or you're using the wrong django version, yah that'd be normal :)

thats the error thrown when i try to add a tip using the admin panel.
