lambda callable in foreignkey default

2013-11-26 Thread Philippe Raoult
I ran into a strange issue today when trying to use a lambda function for the default value of a ForeignKey. my original code was this, and I expected it would look for RestaurantType instances whenever I would try to create a Restaurant: type_of_restaurant = models.ForeignKey(RestaurantType, d

template rendering progress

2012-09-19 Thread Philippe Raoult
Hello all, I'm using django templates to generate pdf listings in my app. After running render() on the template, reportlab is called to create the pdf. My issue is that those listings can get quite big (hundreds of pages, with images) and thus take very long to render. Reportlab has progress

Re: Added-value over PHP?

I'll only reply to (2): Django is very suitable for web apps. I'm building one and I've never felt limited in any way. Django lets you write your own templates, so adding heavy ajax interfaces is painless. I can't give you pointers because it's a custom in-house thing, but it's close to 30k lines

I don't know what you mean by mid-sized but I deployed exactly what you're describing in a 45-strong company. We have occasional browser incompatibilities with ajax but overall django was very much the right tool for the job. As a bonus the company's clients can now access a restricted part of the

Filter chaining question

2009-06-09 Thread Philippe Raoult
Hello all, I've been hunting for a bug in my generic search form and it boils down to this: I (wrongly) expected chained filters to behave as if they were AND'd and they sometimes behave as OR'd. That was a bit puzzling for me since the documentation seems to indicate that AND would be the logica

Hello all, I've starting porting my little app (20k loc) from 0.96 to 1.0 and I've been hitting a wall of reverse/url errors. I haven't seen anything in the porting wiki page so I'm wondering if anyone has already encountered similar issues ? I'm seeing stuff like: Reverse for '' with arguments
