Hi Paton,
Not to be obtuse, but the question you are asking is actually unique to the
Pinax project (http://pinaxproject.com/). AFAIK Django's manage.py doesn't have
any expunge_deleted command (at least as far as my manage.py help output shows,
and I am running the latest Django 1.4.2). You might get more luck asking this
question in the Pinax Google Group (pinax-us...@googlegroups.com) which is
specific to that project.
A quick browse of the Pinax source code (well, actually the Pinax creators
sub-project django-user-accounts which is used by Pinax) you will see the
following:
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand
from account.models import AccountDeletion
class Command(BaseCommand):
help = "Expunge accounts deleted more than 48 hours ago."
def handle(self, *args, **options):
count = AccountDeletion.expunge()
print "%d expunged." % count
(source:
https://github.com/pinax/django-user-accounts/blob/master/account/management/commands/expunge_deleted.py)
Going back up the tree (to the django-user-accounts account.models file) and
looking at the source you will see the following (starting at line 342):
class AccountDeletion(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, blank=True,
on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
email = models.EmailField()
date_requested = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
date_expunged = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
@classmethod
def expunge(cls, hours_ago=None):
if hours_ago is None:
hours_ago = settings.ACCOUNT_DELETION_EXPUNGE_HOURS
before = timezone.now() - datetime.timedelta(hours=hours_ago)
count = 0
for account_deletion in cls.objects.filter(date_requested__lt=before,
user__isnull=False):
settings.ACCOUNT_DELETION_EXPUNGE_CALLBACK(account_deletion)
account_deletion.date_expunged = timezone.now()
account_deletion.save()
count += 1
return count
@classmethod
def mark(cls, user):
account_deletion, created = cls.objects.get_or_create(user=user)
account_deletion.email = user.email
account_deletion.save()
settings.ACCOUNT_DELETION_MARK_CALLBACK(account_deletion)
return account_deletion
(source:
https://github.com/pinax/django-user-accounts/blob/master/account/models.py)
There you can see the expunge() method in its entirety. It actually looks like
there is a specific time period before the users are deleted, but I am not a
Pinax expert by any means.
Hope that helps, and good luck.
