Well,actually,it is not an error..The user 'IS ALLOWED' to enter ' python' instead of 'python' and the program should proceed to EDIT the original 'python' object with the new description. to illustrate, First ,user adds a subject with name='python' and description='my python lesson' Now I have 1 subject in db. Then user adds another subject name=' python' with description='lesson by guido' Note the three space characters at the beginning of the name. Now ,this should cause the original record in db to be updated.No new record is created. Now db contains 1 subject with name='python' and description='lesson by guido' this is the functionality I am trying to achieve..(I have marked the else branch in the snippet) any help would be welcome jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
