I upgraded python to 2.6.8 today from an earlier 2.6, what an adventure! So much bizarre happenings so many places. Tonight's special:
SomeModel.objects.get(sometextfield=sometext) always works (when there is one entry where sometextfield=sometext of course). auth.User.objects.get(username=sometext) works only *sometimes*. In a login-view, I first check that the user for a given username exists. It does! User found. Then I try to authenticate: auth.authenticate(user.username, password). That never works! Monkeypatching authenticate() shows that the User.objects.get(username=username) in it always returns User.DoesNotExist. But of course: User.objects.filter(username__startswith=username).get(username__endswith=username) always return the user in question. And the only thing that has changed is the minor python version. I can't get User.objects.get(username=whatever) to work in the shell either. How do I debug this further? This is for django 1.3, I need to have this working predictably again before I can upgrade to 1.4. I have logs of the sql if that'll help but the sql looks fine.
