caching generated content from the filesystem with Django

Hi folks, I am new to Django, and trying to figure out if Django could be used for a new project which is similar to a news site (stories & syndication feeds), as well as more permanent content. The twist is that we already have thousands of such stories stored as Markdown or RST files on the fil

When do snippets get into Django?

Hi folks, I am new to Django and could not find the answer to a very important consideration I need to make before diving into Django more. I used to work with Zope and Plone, and one of the major problems were upgrades, not of Zope or Plone, but of all the products that were needed for a particul

validation and the ORM layer

Hey folks, while playing around with the DB API last night, we discovered that the ORM layer does not enforce content validation. Since the blank field option defaults to False, we expected to be unable to save ORM objects with empty fields, but the DB API will let us do just that: class Beers

Obtaining content from Git

Hello, we have a Django project with a few pages that come from Git. Currently, Apache rewrite rules serve those files statically (and they make use of the same template/CSS as Django does, so the user does not actually notice), and it's a massive hack and pain to keep up-to-date. Hence I was thi
