Re: Django Suitability

Matt, I feel your pain. It's probably not best on the Django forum to say this but: 1. Any modern framework is fine (Cake/PHP, Django/Python, Merb/Ruby, etc...) 2. Use a framework of some sort (don't just roll with 'Java' without some sort of web-specific framework for your needs) 3. Any real d

Best Practices for debugging URL problems

I recently had what is a common issue for many Django developers: "No module named urls" What turned out to be the issue is that I had deleted one of the urls.py files accidentally because I deleted an app that I thought I was no longer being used but was in fact being called by the top level ur

Also, you could limit the result set to the number of records you actually need. 5k seems like an absurdly large result set. One final thing would be if you could pre-cull the Person data by narrowing it down to active users or something. The active_user field (if there is one), could quickly k

Best way to deal with dictionaries of lists (equivalent of SQL GROUP BY)

I'm looking at the documentation here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#regroup And am looking for the best practices way to deal with doing that from within the manager. This seems like a common issue: 1. I have two models, one foreign keys to the other (comments -

Self Join using QuerySet

Is it possible to do a self join using QuerySet? I'm looking to simulate a query like this: SELECT b.created_on, SUM(a.vote) FROM votes a JOIN votes b ON a.created_on <= b.created_on WHERE a.object_id = 1 GROUP BY 1 Which finds the sums for votes before the datetime of each vote. --~--~

Jirka, That doesn't solve the problem. That will still do a very expensive count() operation on the queryset. In fact, examples.count() is what happens when you do bool(examples) anyway. Thanks, Adam On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 8:11 PM, Jirka Vejrazka wrote: > Hi Adam, > > I tend to use: > > if

Serve a tracking pixel via Django

We have one static file that needs to be served after business logic has run (i.e. log a view on a specific url based on a unique code). We used to use serve() in production. This has always been frowned upon but with Django 1.3, the errors are worse. Can one return an image in any other way?
