Per-Test Caching?

Hi, I have a Django app that relies heavily on caching. I'd like "./manage.py test" to run on its own test cache instance (so it doesn't see keys from previous runs / other development / etc). I can write code to set up the cache appropriately, but, where can I put it s.t. it ru

PostgreSQL Stored Procedure in ordinary Django query expression?

Hey folks, I have a PostgreSQL stored procedure that does some fairly complex logic to query/filter a particular table (though it ultimately does return rows straight from that table). I'm trying to call this stored procedure from within Django, and execute additional filters/etc on th

Aggregates with multiple (conflicting) conditions?

Hey, I have a table setup that boils down to something like the following: class MyUser(models.Model): type = models.IntegerField() class MyStuffs(models.Model): stuffs = models.ForeignKey(MyUser) I would like to be able to do something like: MyUser.objects.filt

Django and PostgreSQL/Slony for load-balancing?

Hi, We're running a website that usually runs just fine on our server; but every now and then we get a big load burst (thousands of simultaneous users in an interactive Web 1.5-ish app), and our database server (PostgreSQL) just gets completely swamped. We'd like to set up some

Prevent brute-force password attacks?

Re: Should I set up Django locally or on a web server?

If you really want everything, then either MacPorts or Fink work well. If you just want to run through the tutorial, though, you can probably get away with the built-in version of Python and SQLite as suggested. Older Macs have Python 2.3, which should work (though it is quite old); Leopard (MacO

Database introspection dies?

Hi all, I'm trying to introspect an old MySQL database (the old software that used the database was written in some nasty mix of Perl and C; it just bit the dust recently). I try an inspectdb on it, and I get an ugly-looking stack trace. Is 'inspectdb' expected to work?; has anyo

efficiently search for ManyToMany links?

Get all *_set's from a model?

Hi, I have a table (implementing a tree) that a whole lot of other tables have ForeignKeys pointing to. I'm trying to write a "clone" method that takes an element in the table, duplicates it (with a new ID), and creates duplicates of all table elements from any other tables that F

User Session leakage

Loading initial data with a post_syncdb hook?

Hi, I have some Python code that generates initial data for some of my tables; I currently call that code from a post_syncdb hook. In Django 1.3, it looks like Django now calls TRUNCATE (or an equivalent non-PostgreSQL-ism) on all tables after running syncdb and all of its post- hooks.
