Simple Invoices & Django
Hi! I'm quite new with Python & Django but enthusiastic to work on 'porting' Simple Invoices - PHP invoicing system - to Django (see http://simpleinvoices.org/). I've asked main developer about it and although SI is now working towards Zend, he likes the idea. (see http://simpleinvoices.org/forum/discussion/622/si-in-pythondjango thread) So, I'm interested if there is someone here interested to work on such a project?

date-based ordering confusion
Hi!
I'm doing my 1st steps in Python/Django using Python Web Development
with Django book (http://withdjango.com/)
Chapter 2 is 'developing' simple blog app and here is the model:
From django.db import models
From django.contrib import admin
# Create your models here.
class BlogPost(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=150)
body = models.TextField()
timestamp = models.DateTimeField()
class Meta:
ordering = ('-timestamp',)
class BlogPostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'timestamp')
admin.site.register(BlogPost, BlogPostAdmin)
Now, at one point I was not clear where to add:
class Meta:
ordering = ('-timestamp',)
in order to have descending order of 'blog posts' and was asking on
#django where I got the answer to put it as follows:
[..]
class BlogPostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'timestamp')
ordering = ('-timestamp',)
which did not work.
Finally, I managed to add 'class Meta' as subclass of BlogPost class (as
above), but I wonder if adding 'ordering = ('-timestamp',)' to
BlogPostAdmin class is supposed to work or what is explanation if it
should not work (as we experienced)?
Sincerely,

MetaWeblog API vs. Atom Publishing Protocol support
Hi! I'm new to Django exploring what can be done with it and I'd like that blog users could use some of desktop blog clients to publish their posts to Django-powered blog site, so I did some research about support for MetaWeblog and Atom PP in DJango which has brought me to the two tickets: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/226) and http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3570. Now, I'm curious if someone can explain me why is the ticket for MetaWeblog API (#226) closed and marked as 'invalid ' with the comment "Django's not a weblog engine; it's a framework for building content management systems. It's going to be up to individual authors of blog packages to support any APIs." while the ticket for adding Atom PP (#3570)is accepted and being worked on? I asked on #django and got the answer that "It's not possible to please everyone." which is true 'cause I'm not please by that answer :-) and wonder if there is some deeper (aka: technological) reason behind it 'cause both protocols seems to be very popular in blog-engines?

lighty vs. nginx for deploying Django
Hi! I'm working through 'withdjango' book and ch.7. deploys Gallery app with the need to serve static files.

Django development workflow
Hi! Being new to Django and web development in general I'm curious to learn about some of its 'best practices'. When working on the code for e.g. desktop application, I'd put stuff in e.g. $HOME/projects/project_1 directory under DVCS and regularly push to some 'centralized' server, provide tarballs for releases etc... Now, I wonder what to in case of web development with Django... Let's assume that I work on two sites: www.site1.com and www.site2.com and I try to develop new features for them and test them on my 'localhost' first before pushing changes to the production server. The question is how to mimic everything on localhost (how to organize code in projects) so that after enough testing one can just push changes to the production servers and update both sites without the need to change anything in django's settings? Another issue: what is the recommended way of keeping production & development databases (Sqlite3/Postgres) 'in sync' if one wants to add some content while doing localhost-development? Any URL where one can look or learn from? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Zagreb, Croatia | GPG key: C6E7162D pgp6yTc9Jejha.pgp Description: PGP signature

My project is at ~/home/gour/www/zinnia in virtual env.
Zinnia (blog engine) media files are symlinked to:
/usr/home/gour/www/zinnia/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zinnia/media/zinnia -->
/usr/home/gour/www/zinnia/blog/static
and in order to see media files I've the following in my settings.py:
[...]
PROJECT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, "static")
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/'
[...]
and here is the snippet from urls.py:
from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
}),
)
The above snippet is from dev-docs, while the 1.3 doc says:
from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.staticfiles.views',
url(r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'serve'),
)
Now I'm told on #django that this is obsolete and from 1.3 one is supposed to
use:
django.contrib.staticfiles
and I tried to add it to INSTALLED_APPS, defined STATIC_ROOT, STATIC_URL,
STATICFILES_DIRS..and adding:
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns() to urls.py, but all what I get is 404
errors.
> The docs don't seem to mention using this view for this purpose.
> Should they?
This is my confusion as well. The doc says:
This view is automatically enabled by runserver (with a DEBUG setting set to
True). To use the view with a different local development server, add the
following snippet to the end of your primary URL configuration:
from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.staticfiles.views',
url(r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'serve'),
)
and based on the avove it seems that if one just wants to use runserver there
should not be need for the django.contrib.staticfiles.views view, but, based on
my experience I was not able to render media files without using the above
snippet in urls.py, so my humgble request is whether someone can provide
correct info how to serve app's media (static) files in django-1.3 when using
runserver in development?
Sincerely,
Gour
