If you want to understand why you are getting the error, start by understanding Python modules - http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html Hint - you can't just copy a script around and expect it to work. The script depends on other files to make it all happen. If in python, you type, import

I was looking at this over the weekend as well; isn't a problem for me but it seems that the post_save signal is triggered even when commit=False. Therefore when the object is saved again with commit=True, it is fired again. I didn't really investigate this so I could be wrong, but might be

Quick Google tells me that PostGIS contains GEOS 3.2.0. I know you're not using PostgreSQL, but installing that might do the trick, or if you don't want to pollute your server, you can probably extract it from the setup somehow. http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/#windbinaries On 18

Nice find - I did pretty much the same thing, but using lxml.Cleaner. This seems more configurable; I'm probably going to change mine over to this instead. Generally the rule with script injection is to scrub and filter on output, because that's the last line of defense. However, for situations

You need to serialize those variables and deliver them to the client to store as a cookie. That way, when a call to draw_graph is made, it will receive the cookie as part of the request, and you can get the parameters. If there is too much data, you should write those variables to the database,

'import django' is a command for the Python interpreter. 'django-admin.py startproject testsite' is a standard shell command. Just open up a console window, and type the latter into it. If it doesn't work, it means your PATH variable doesn't contain the Django sources. On 23 June 2010 15:27,

If you want to run a piece of code on receiving a view HTTP request, and a piece of code just before the response is sent to the user, look into Django middleware (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/middleware/). That is what it is specifically designed to do. If instead you want to
