Need details re: deletion of a referenced model instance

Hi all, I'm having trouble detecting changes that happen to a M2M field behind the scenes: as a result of one of the *referenced objects being deleted* I'm using Django 1.3.1 with PostgreSQL 8 Let's say we have the following simple proof of concept models: class Topping(models.Model): name

Logging works from 'manage.py shell', not from app

Hi all. I'm stumped on something. Using logging via 'manage.py shell' is working as expected. Using it in the webapp generates zero data and zero errors. NOTE: /var/log/hostdb.log is WORLD WRITABLE (in order to dodge any permissions errors right now while debugging this) My logging settings are a
