Thank you, Florian! :-) Indeed, stability and job market are what's on my mind. It's comforting to know what I can stick to LTS versions and be assured of (almost 100%) stability. Just another minor concern: What if, say, the other minor upgrade rolls out a really cool feature that takes out a

A question on save_m2m()

Adding Tinymce to Admin

ce at the back of my head tells me that I won't need to alter Admin, but I'm not sure. Because I don't have any forms (I directly edit/create from the Admin), I don't think I can get away with only saying something like 'content = models.TextField(widget='tinymce')&#

object the way we do with model forms? I mean, is there some way I can say something like 'object.as_table()'? I thought of using FormView as a substitute for this, but that requires data to be present in POST, and forcibly populating POST seems like a bad idea. Any thoughts? Regards, An

Re: Serving static files

Hmmm. One argument I read supporting separate servers is that it would save the main server a few socket connections. But this appears to be too little of a gain. The approach of using a CDN, I think, is much more sensible. Thanks once again, Tim! Regards, Ankush Thakur On Wed, Jun 29, 2016 at

Unable to set up celery in supervisord

​I'm trying to set up celery as a supervisord job (for my Django project) and getting an error. Most likely it's because of wrong import paths (or some other environment setting), but I have no idea what. Please help! Here's my directory structure ('>' means down one level): /home/ankush/jremind
