Re: Confused about thread locals... again.

I think that the correct solution for your problem would be, instead of hacking around with the template path on the fly like this, to instead write a template loader for your application, and apply the logic you need within the template loader itself. See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref

Re: Getting 'specified module cannot be found' error when synching model to DB

It sounds like you have a Windows and/or Python path problem. The DLL that's being loaded (kernel32.dll?) isn't on the Windows path (or in the Python lib directory) when Python is attempting to load it. Certainly nothing to do with Django. What version of Python are you using? - Craig - On Wed

Re: Massive insertion of records

Hey ... that's left as an exercise for the student, and wasn't relevant to the point in question (doing commits along the way). In point of fact, when doing mass inserts, serious attention needs to be paid to how frequently to commit, and what to do about failures and other exceptional behavior.
