If I'm understanding you correctly, you're trying to migrate from using
apache/mod_python to serve your Django project to apache/mod_wsgi, right?
If this is the case, is there something special about your setup such that
the instructions at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/deployment/modwsgi/ don't apply?

Re: model array to javascript

2011-01-24 Thread Patrick McDonnell
I would recommend first converting it to an intermediary format, such as
JSON or XML, as described here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/serialization/

You can then use JavaScript to easily manipulate it in whatever way you
want.  This is basically the approach I take when doing AJAXy things.

Or am I not correctly understanding what you're trying to do?

Simple Django Report Generator

2011-03-10 Thread Patrick McDonnell
Hello -

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations for a flexible
Django report generator.  Basically, I'd like to give user's the ability to
query a given model based on user-defined filters.  For example, for an
application that tracks information about a company's employees, often a
manager will want to run a report saying "show me all the employees in the
accounting department who have been employeed for X or more years," or
something to that effect.  Clearly, these kind of reports are trivial for me
to hard code using Django's ORM, but a much more ideal solution would be to
provide users with a (dare I say it) MS Access-like query builder, that
would allow them to choose the columns they want, define basic filters, and
a sorting order, and then review the results in a tabular format.

I've looked around and haven't quite found anything that meets my needs, so
I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.  If nothing exists, I'll
probably try to write something myself, and make it my contribution to the
OSS community if its any good, but obviously I'd rather not reinvent the
wheel.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Rewriting Java UI for Django?

2011-03-24 Thread Patrick McDonnell
David - I'm not sure I follow exactly what you're asking.

If you're trying to basically port a Java/Swing application to Django:
Django is a web application framework.  Python with the Django libraries are
used on the back end, and HTML is used on the front end (technically it is
possible to use something other than an HTML front end, but that woud be
very unusual).  So, in answer to your question, HTML/JavaScript/CSS/etc are
used to develop your UI.  Django does offer some utilities to make your job
easier (see the docs for forms and templates), but the majority of the UI
design must be done by hand.

Also note that Django does automatically generate an admin UI for all of
your database models.  By default, its a pretty simple CRUD interface, but
you can modify it a bit, see the docs.

If, however, you're asking how to "wrap" an existing Java/Swing application
inside of Django... That would be much more complicated, and probably not a
very good idea.
