ANN: nosedjango 0.8.1

[Jyrki Pulliainen]

Hi there,

I'm pleased to announce new version of Django testing plugin for nose:
nosedjango version 0.8.1.

With this plugin you can write standard Nose unit tests for a Django
application. The plugin takes care of finding your applications
settings.py file and creating/tearing down test database. It also has
support for fixtures and it has experimental mechanism that wraps the
tests in transactions to speed up testing. This plugin works with
Django versions 1.0 or newer, though multi-db testing is supported
only when using django.test.TestCase.

The plugin is available in PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/NoseDjango/0.8.1

For those using Ubuntu, I've made packages available for 10.04 (Lucid
Lynx) in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~jyrki-pulliainen/+archive/ppa

Source and issue tracker are available in Github: 
http://github.com/inoi/nosedjango

Cheers,
Jyrki

Best practice for auth.User/UserProfile division?

[adambossy]

I'm helping build a social networking site which makes heavy use of
django built-in User model and its relationship to other Users on the
site. We created a UserProfile per the django documentation [http://
docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#storing-additional-
information-about-users] that links to a single User object. Hence,
each time we make a database call involving a user, we retrieve the
UserProfile model via request.user.get_profile(), which occurs quite
frequently.

This seems rather odd, considering the user is passed to our views by
default, yet has no useful information. I'm no django expert, but my
assumption is that this design decision was made to allow decoupled
apps to work together. Since we're basically writing everything in-
house (generic apps always have *just enough* discrepancies to what we
want to do that we end up rewriting them), perhaps we're not reaping
this benefit. My intuition tells me that we should have ignore
django.contrib.auth.models.User and created our own to which
everything else on our site relates. Thoughts?

Re: django-admin.py cleanup large scale

[bfrederi]

When I attempt to run a normal cleanup, the cleanup eventually loses
connection to the database and dies. I think I am going to have to
take the manual approach.

One thing that I wanted to point out is that I think you meant the SQL
equivalent is:

DELETE FROM django_session WHERE expire_date < '2010-01-01 1:23:45';

It should be less than, I believe. But that is very helpful, and I
will need to use that to clean up the session table manually.

Re: overriding the admin save in admin.py?

[Aspontus]

Hi.
Why don't you use save() method in model definition? See
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/contrib/admin/#modeladmin-methods
Maybe this will help you.
Cheers.

What is the best way to manually create an HTML form from a ModelForm

[orokusaki]

Normally, I would do something like this:

{% for field in form.fields %}

{% field %}

{% endfor %}

What if I need:


{% one field %}



Some Title

{% another field %}



I want to be able to still use model forms and I don't want to hard
code {% if field == "email" %}Custom Stuff{% endif %}. Is there a good
way to do this, or a convention that I can use to ensure that my HTML
won't stop working when I update Django (I know that there is the
id_field_name convention, but I'm looking for a little more insight if
anyone out there does this alot.

A replacement for fixtures

[Mark Sandstrom]

Hello all,

I've created a test fixtures replacement named
factory_boybased on thoughtbot's
factory_girl for Ruby. Factories are extremely
maintainable and can make tests more readable. The framework can be used for
any Python project, and Django support is included.

- Have you ever added a field to a model and then realized that you needed
to update a bunch of tests because you were creating model instances in your
test setUp methods because dealing with fixtures can be really painful?
- Have you ever wondered what model values caused a method to return "April
1, 2010", and you couldn't tell from looking at the tests?
- Have you ever needed several slight variations of a model to test against
and you ended up duplicating the same fixture multiple times (which is now
somewhat hard to maintain)?
- Have you ever wondered if a certain example setup already exists in your
fixtures?

factory_boy is here to help alleviate some of these pains. I've found this
framework to be very useful and I wanted to share it with everyone. You may
find the framework especially useful if you're coming from Ruby/Rails and
you're missing that factory love. Interestingly, I'm not really from the
Ruby/Rails world... but I do appreciate good tools.

You can find documentation for factory_boy on the github page:
http://github.com/dnerdy/factory_boy

Getting started is as easy as:

easy_install factory_boy, or
pip install factory_boy

...which installs a package named 'factory'.

Enjoy!

Re: Stucked in Tutorial 3

[Timothy Makobu]

Also, if you haven't already, read all of this
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html first before diving into Django.
A firm grip on Python is needed to learn Django and write good applications.

Extract ForeignKey value from QuerySet

[Goran]

I'm Django novice and trying to get some search page. I'm lost almost
all day trying to extract ForeignKey value from my QuerySet without
success. Have city name which is ForeignKey in MyModel and I always
get result = []. Here is my last view.

from django.db.models import Q
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from Education.models import Cities, University

def search(request):
query = request.GET.get('q', '')
gquery = request.GET.get('g', '')  # This is city name
cities_list = Cities.objects.all()
if query:
qset = (
Q(field1__icontains=query) |
Q(field2__icontains=query) |
Q(field3__icontains=query)
)
results = University.objects.filter(qset).distinct()
results = results.select_related().get(city=gquery)
else:
results = []
return render_to_response('search/search.html',
{ 'query': query,
  'gquery': gquery,
  'cities_list': cities_list,

You ought to be able to grab an installer for your OS.  So
"aptitude install python-mysqldb" for ubuntu, for instance. I'm sure 
windows also has a clicky-clicky installer.

Stucked in Tutorial 3

[craphunter]

Hi,

I am very new in Django and Python. I am stucked in Tutorial 3 in part
"Write views that actually do something".

I don't get it to run the index.html.

I have copied: "
from django.template import Context, loader
from mysite.polls.models import Poll
from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
latest_poll_list = Poll.objects.all().order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
t = loader.get_template('polls/index.html')
c = Context({
'latest_poll_list': latest_poll_list,
})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
"
in my views.py.

My setting file looks like this:
"TEMPLATE_DIRS = ("/home/username/dtest/mysite/templates"
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/
django/templates".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
)

I get this answer if I type this in my browser "http://127.0.0.1:8000/
polls":

  File "/home/username/dtest/mysite/../mysite/polls/views.py", line 13

return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

SyntaxError: 'return' outside function

What is wrong?

Thanks for help!!!

Re: searching stackedinline fields via search_fields in admin

[ringemup]

To add a filter that works with a related field, you have to write a
custom filterspec (which isn't really documented anywhere AFAIK).


To add the search on the related fields you just need to do what I
described above:

class CarAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin)
search_fields = ['model', 'radio_set__name']
...

Re: Loop over a form's choices (radio button) and render it

[Andreas Pfrengle]

Hello Bill,

thanks for the code. It took half the weekend, but finally I built
upon this to get a radiobutton-iterator. This was a bit more
complicated, since the RadioInput widget has no own render-method, so
I needed to introduce a helper class that derives from RadioInput.
I've put the code here:


Would you mind testing it in your app to see if it also still behaves
like it should (the filter that should return the same as your
original version is called "checkboxiterator_named")?
Btw: Your version seems also to work fine on Django 1.2.1.

overriding the admin save in admin.py?

[gondor]

i'm trying to override the save function so I can add set some values
that were hidden before saving.  The problem is it doesn't seem to be
using the save_model?  Does anyone know how this is done

models.py

class Contact(models.Model):
  user = model.ForeignKey(User, editable=False)
  notes = TextField('Notes', blank=True)


admin.py

class ContactAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin)
  def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
obj.user = request.user
obj.save()

Does anyone know how to do this or an alternative?

thanx

If you define some models in your tests.py file they will be available (only) 
when you run your tests.

Re: Need some help with URL layout

[Uwe Schuerkamp]

Hi folks,

one more thing: In order to allow chaning of countries / regions, I
was thinking of adding a bit of html to the top of each page where a
user can select the country in the first popup, then the region popup
populates (pun intended ;-) the the regions for the selected country,
and one "submit" button that sets the new area of interest.

Naturally, all of the navigation urts on the left side of the page
would have to change as well, say from ranking/gr/ back to ranking/def/
hf/

How could that be accomplished? My Javascript-Fu is rather weak, and
I'd like to keep the mechanisms on the pages as simple as possible.

All the best & thanks again in advance for your comments & ideas,

Uwe
