Up-to-date Pinax social network?

I look at http://pinaxproject.com/ and see lots of Legos I could use to build a social network. Is there a current pre-built or HOWTO social network project that I could use to get a Pinax social network up and running in two hours or less, including stupid user mistakes on my part? I have a Pinax

DB Weirdness

HI All, Sorry I couldn't think of a better subject. :-) I am fairly new to Django. I have done most of the tutorial and started reading Two Scoops of Django (TSD). Of course being impatient I also started my project, in parallel. Danny made a good point in TSD about using the same database in

Are Generic Views limited to querysets that are fixed for any one view?

I'm new to using generic views and the genericness is obviously powerful, but I'm wondering how far it goes. If I have a model and want to display it as a list, I can use a generic view and even specify the query set it displays for a given view, but what if I want to constrain the query set thro

Re: How to get ten random records

Don’t listen to him. .order_by('?') is the right thing. If you’re not sure, install django-debug-toolbar. You’ll see that you get "ORDER BY random()". Also, while .get() will throw an exception if the QuerySet is empty, nothing else will. On Mar 18, 2013, at 10:46 PM, Mike Dewhirst wrote: > O

Re: Python problem

What O/S? What version of python? Can you get to python's prompt by just typing python at a command prompt? If so, is the version that it printed when it started the version that you expected? How about an actual cut and paste of the error that you are seeing? Bill On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 9:3

Do you have an IRC client, such as the chatzilla plug in for firefox? Your screenshot is unreadable to me, but if you're just going to irc.freenode.netin your browser, it's not likely to work, since HTTP and IRC are different protocols. On Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 1:19 AM, Lightning wrote: > 'Where

Wouldn't it be simpler to have two abstract classes, one, not having the field, and the other being a sub class of the first, and just adding the field? On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 5:05 PM, Alan Johnson wrote: > I've got an abstract model in my project that I want to use to define a > field by defau
