Is the Django book written in ReST/Sphinx?

What is `sys.path` supposed to be?
Hello! There's something that's bothering me: When developing a Django application, what is `sys.path` supposed to contain? The directory which contains the project, or the directory of the project, or both? What led me to this question is a failure when using `urlresolvers.reverse`. It's giving me a `NoReverseMatch` error, and it seems that the reason is that there are two different versions of my view function; One with a `__module__` of `my_app.views` and one with a `__module__` of `my_project.my_app.views`. Because of Python weirdness, these two different versions of the same function are not considered identical to each other: http://bugs.python.org/issue9872 Please help...

Bruno, look at this line in `django/core/management/__init__.py`: project_module = import_module(project_name) It's importing the project. Isn't this a problem? I mean, every object obtained from the imported project will be different from its counterpart which was imported through an app. So what's going on?

Re: Serving https with runserver
Adnan, I'm really baffled by your response. No, my reasons for using SSL here is not because I'm afraid someone will sniff my data, We are talking here about `runserver`, which is the development server which is never used for production. The goal of `runserver` is to be able to easily test how your Django project behaves before you upload it to the real server. So the purpose of me wanting to use https on `runserver` are NOT because I think someone will hack into my local machine. It's because I want to test the behavior of the site. For example, I may have some complex redirection scheme, where some http pages on the site redirect you to https, and vice versa. So I would like to be able to test them out on the development machine before uploading to the server. I checked out Stunnel. I'd prefer to avoid it. It's another program I will have to install and configure, and then I'll have to install and configure an SSL library, and then these things will have to be connected with `runserver`, which may result in problems and headache. The whole motivation to use `runserver` is how easy and painless it is, so I'd prefer it include these things out of the box. Ram.

Hey Russ, At this point I'll just do a brief list, so I think I'll do it on the wiki.

Can the new `Prefetch` solve my problem?
Hi guys,
I'm trying to solve a problem using the new `Prefetch` but I can't figure
out how to use it.
I have these models:
class Desk(django.db.models.Model):
pass
class Chair(django.db.models.Model):
desk = django.db.models.Foreignkey('Desk', related_name='chair',)
nearby_desks = django.db.models.ManyToManyField(
'Desk',
blank=True,
)
I want to get a queryset for `Desk`, but it should also include a
prefetched attribute `favorite_or_nearby_chairs`, whose value should be
equal to:
Chair.objects.filter(
(django.db.models.Q(nearby_desks=desk) |
django.db.models.Q(desk=desk)),
some_other_lookup=whatever,
)
Is this possible with `Prefetch`? I couldn't figure out how to use the
arguments.
Thanks,
Ram.

Re: Can the new `Prefetch` solve my problem?
James, you misunderstood me.
There isn't supposed to be a `favorite_or_nearby_chairs` attribute. That's
the new attribute I want the prefetching to add to the `Desk` queryset that
I need. Also, I don't understand why you'd tell me to add a `
.select_related('nearby_desks')` to my query. Are you talking about the
query that starts with `Chair.objects`? I'm not looking to get a `Chair`
queryset. I'm looking to get a `Desk` queryset, which has a prefetched
attribute `favorite_or_nearby_chairs` which contains the `Chair` queryset I
wrote down.
Thanks,
Ram.

Prefetching a single item
Hi, Say that I have a model Train and it has a ManyToMany to model Seat. I'm looking at a queryset of Train and I want to do a prefetch_related on it, but I don't want to get all the Seat objects; I want only the first Seat object for each Train object. Is this possible with prefetch_related and/or Prefetch? How? To clarify: My goal here is to save on querysets while still being able to retrieve the first Seat object in each `train.seats`.

Is there a good reason why Django querysets can't be intersected?

Creating test databases in parallel
