It does. Of course, your issue seems to be not that Django lacks certain tools, but that it doesn't already provide every tool you personally need. And of course there are reasons for that; with a only limited number of volunteer programmers doing the work in their free time, obviously not every feature can be implemented simultaneously. Search is one that's involved a huge amount of effort by several people, and (thanks largely to Daniel going without sleep or the comforts of his family) is just now getting to where there are good, truly generic implementations (most people, historically, have just written something that integrates tightly with the one tool or database they use, which obviously isn't helpful in the general case). So as a general rule, the question should not be "why doesn't Django have this already" -- it should be "can I help to implement it". Because, really, that's the only way the project moves forward. > I could kill whoever told me Django was great, and forgot to mention > there's no row-level permissions... Judging from your other email about it, I'd suspect you're into the realm where no out-of-the-box system could be both simple enough to cover common cases and complex enough to handle every situation people would like to implement. Which, to me, is fine: sometimes it's just not possible to produce a "generic enough" system to cover every use case, which means some folks end up writing custom code. Fortunately, people who use Django are (at least in theory) programmers who can evaluate what's needed and get their work done. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
