That's gonna normalize over the days/weeks of framework usage. The more you'd know about Django internals, the less magic you'd see. In the case of Django, you have often to look at the framework code to know why things work in some particular way and this makes Django less "magic" at every look. ;) My first encounter with Django was in 0.91 days and this was pure magic. Then the most of this annoying magic has been removed in 0.95. -- Jarek Zgoda Skype: jzgoda | GTalk: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | voice: +48228430101 "We read Knuth so you don't have to."
