Re: cannot import path in urls

[Taylor Hughes-Scott]

Hi,

It looks like you aren't importing path from the right location in your
urls.py file, try the following import to see if that resolves your issue.

from django.urls import path

Re: why-do-i-get-an-error-about-importing-django-settings-module

[Taylor Hughes-Scott]

Based on the screenshots, that is not an error. That is just the standard
django code that your seeing. It trying to import settings and if they
don't exist then it will show that error.

I recommend going through the django tutorial
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/intro/tutorial01/

Are you able to provide an example url or xml file. That would help to

With your form.save() call try passing commit=True so it looks like
form.save(commit=True)

Re: Deprecating model field (Deleting model field, but keeping DB column)

[taylor]

Thanks for responding Avraham.

That would be a good option if I was developing by myself, but I am working 
with a team of 20 developers. The process needs to be the same whether 
there are deprecated fields or not. I can't realistically expect 20 people 
to not apply one migration (or a few specific ones). There may be other 
migrations after the deprecation that need to be applied, so it's very 
difficult to apply certain ones and ignore others. It would be similarly 
difficult to get everyone to apply one of the migrations with --fake, but 
do a different process with every other migration. Also, --fake applies to 
the entire migration (not just specific operations), so people would be 
forced to make separate migrations for other model changes and hopefully 
remember not to run --fake on those.

My current best attempt was to create a custom DB migration 
operation 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/migration-operations/#writing-your-own
 
, that removes the field in state_forwards, but doesn't do anything to the 
db in database_forwards. That works, but the person that deprecates the 
field need to remember to change the RemoveField operation into the custom 
DeprecateField operation. It would be great if makemigrations created the 
correct operations automatically. Is there a way to do that?

Deprecating model field (Deleting model field, but keeping DB column)

[taylor]

I am having some trouble figuring out the best way to remove model fields 
in Django. If I remove a field from a model and then run makemigrations, it 
creates a RemoveField operation in a migration. That is great, but if I 
decide to run the migration before releasing the new code, the existing 
code will break (for a short time between running the migration and 
releasing the new code) because the old code is still querying for the 
removed column (Django queries for all columns by default). I could run the 
migration after the release, but that won't work if I also have an AddField 
operation because the new code needs the new column, so it needs to be run 
before. I am wondering if anyone has solved this issue?

My best solution (I don't think Django supports this) would be to have a 
special type of field called a DeprecatedField. It would delete the field 
from Django's perspective, but keep the column in the DB. Django would no 
longer query for the column, but the column would still be in the DB. On 
the next release, I could remove the column completely (with a RemoveField 
operation) and the existing code would not error because it has no 
knowledge of the column.

I noticed Django has an idea of a private field, which is on a model but 
not in the DB. Is there a way to create a field that is in the DB, but 
Django model doesn't query for it or allow it to be used in creates and 
updates? Very similar to the managed=False on the Model, but on the Field 
level. If anyone has other approaches to the problem, I would be very 
excited to find alternative methods.

Thanks,
Taylor

Is Django suitable for this purpose?

[Mike Taylor]

I want to have an appointment booking option built into a website for a 
clinic.

The feature needs to integrate with the software that runs their office 
( http://www.atlaschirosys.com/)

In order to be fully useful, it would need to be virtually instantaneous in 
filling the requested appointment spot.  A time lag of more than a couple 
minutes would not be acceptable.

So, is this even possible and is Django the best tool for building it?

Thank you for ANY input.

Random auth_permission + content_type errors during test runs

[Greg Taylor]

I've got a project running Django 1.4, Postgres 3, Python 2.7. Our tests 
get about halfway through, then we get a sudden flood of errors showing 
that the django_content_type table may be empty:

This is pretty bizarre, but it's probably something we're doing. Has anyone

deleting content types (which the error seems to suggest is happening).

is this (online tutorial) code calling a view from a view?

[Andrew Taylor]

Hi,

I've been following an online tutorial but been debugging. I've traced my 
issue to this line in the view function below:

return category(request, category_name_url)


Is this view effectively calling another view directly without going via 
the urls file (in the exception case)? If so can you advise me if this is 
good or bad practice?

Thanks,


Andy



from rango.forms import PageForm
def add_page(request, category_name_url):
context = RequestContext(request)

category_name = decode_url(category_name_url)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = PageForm(request.POST)

if form.is_valid():
# This time we cannot commit straight away.
# Not all fields are automatically populated!
page = form.save(commit=False)

# Retrieve the associated Category object so we can add it.
# Wrap the code in a try block - check if the category actually 
exists!
try:
cat = Category.objects.get(name=category_name)
page.category = cat
except Category.DoesNotExist:
# If we get here, the category does not exist.
# We render the add_page.html template without a context 
dictionary.
# This will trigger the red text to appear in the template!
return render_to_response('rango/add_page.html', {}, context)

# Also, create a default value for the number of views.
page.views = 0

# With this, we can then save our new model instance.

# Now that the page is saved, display the category instead.

Not pure Django. Chrome versus Safari discrepancy

[Andrew Taylor]

Hi,

I have been working my way through the tango with django tutorial, which I 
have to say I have found to be excellent. 
http://www.tangowithdjango.com/book/chapters/tango_too.html

There is one section (above link) whereby you track the number of times a 
url has been clicked. This is done by publishing links to an internal url, 
and routing that through a track/redirect view which converts and redirects 
to the real url and increments the page views at the same time.

However, safari was doing this on an inconsistent basis but seemed to work 
when the browser was first opened. After debugging this for a while I 
concluded the problem was not the code but my safari browser. It occurred 
to me that safari does this weird caching thing where you can go 
back/forward through pages immediately. On switching to Chrome the page 
counts increment as expected. I have tried setting 'disable caches' in the 
Develop menu in safari to no effect

Can someone with more experience than me explain why I am seeing these 
effects, and what a real world cross-browser solution to tracking page 
views would be?

The relevant code is below:

1. Track/redirect view:

*def* track_url(request):

context = RequestContext(request)

page_id = None

url = '/rango/'

*if* request.method == 'GET':

*if* 'page_id' *in* request.GET:

page_id = request.GET['page_id']

*try*:

page = Page.objects.get(id=page_id)

page.views = page.views + 1

page.save()

url = page.url

*except*:

*pass*


*return* redirect(url)


2. The internal url published in template:


{% if pages %}

**

{% for page in pages %}

**

**{{page.title}}**

{% if page.views > 1 %}

- ({{ page.views }} views)

{% elif page.views == 1 %}

- ({{ page.views }} view)

{% endif %}

**

{% endfor %}

**

{% else %}

**No pages currently in category.**

{% endif %}



Thanks,


Andy

GET and POST in forms. Please help me understand the logic!

[Andrew Taylor]

Hi,

I'm struggling with the concepts of get and post and where these status 
come from in the workflow. I have worked my way through the official pages 
on forms but I have not quite understood this to my satisfaction.

I get the gist that:

   - get is for requesting data and 
   - the query string parameters are visible 
   - Running multiple get operations with say a bookmarked link has no 
   negative effect

whereas with post

   - post is for making database changes

Beyond this I am a little clueless.

   - When does a request method get assigned? 
   - In other words, with this code below, what would have made the request 
   method become post (or get)? Is this related to a preceding view?
   - Does a request object have to have a get or a post dictionary in it? 
   Could it have neither?
   - Does a request object going to a form have to have a get or a post 
   dictionary in it?
   - Is it the case that with "add_category.html" the page could open with 
   neither a get or post in the request, and while the "add_category" view is 
   running the request method POST could be assigned?
   - Does a POST method invoke form validation?


Example:

def add_category(request, category_name_url=""):
context = RequestContext(request)

if request.method == 'POST':
form = CategoryForm(request.POST)

if form.is_valid():
form.save(commit=True)
return index(request)
else:
print form.errors

else:
form = CategoryForm


return render_to_response('rango/add_category.html', {'form': form}, 
context)


Thanks,


Andy

Why is RequestContext used in this way?

[Andrew Taylor]

Hi,

I've followed some example code which is is follows:

def index(request):
context = RequestContext(request)
context_dict =  {'boldmessage': "I am from the context"}
return render_to_response('rango/index.html',context_dict, context)

Here RequestContext only has the first argument filled i.e. request.

My questions are:

1. Is RequestContext(request) being used in a kind of dummy way to suck up 
the context processors for render_to_response?
2. What would render_to_response be doing if has both context_dict AND 
RequestContext had a second argument?

Sorry if these are stupid questions. I'm new to everything python and 
Dango, and the kind of person who forgets everything they have ever known 
when trying to decide which pack of toilet paper to buy in the supermarket.

Re: [ver. 1.5] Specifying custom User model (extends AbstractUser) doesn't work

DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value - 2 databases

Re: Restful User Authentication for Ember/Backbone client with Tastypie

[Alec Taylor]

NO! - THERE IS RESTFUL METHOD OF AUTHENTICATION!

Use OAuth2.

RFC6749. There are a bunch of server implementations for Django. Use
one of them.

Postgres pgadmin3 & pgpass permissioning question

[Andrew Taylor]

Hi all,

Tenuous Django link but thought no one would mind if I asked the following:

Can I bypass the need for password entry in pgadmin3 by changing/locating a 
.pgpass files instead of modifying pg_hba.conf to 'trust'? pg_hba.conf 
currently set at md5 for everything.

1. I can merrily connect to the postgres server on my local ubuntu machine 
as user postgres in bash by "su postgres" then "psql". 
2. But if I want to be able to use pgadmin 3 GUI without entering a 
password I need to do this as my user, andyt and this doesn't work (I did 
chmod 600 this file to give rw access to one owner only). This feels like a 
permissioning issue but with that chmod 600 restriction on pgpass I'm not 
sure how to progress.

I have been messing around with strace trying to figure out the location of 
pgpass which is being sought out when I run psql/pgadmin3 but the results 
are inconclusive. They both (now)seem to be looking in the andyt home 
directory. Not sure if this was the case earlier, sorry! I was earlier 
placing .pgpass here there and everythwhere, but in particular 
/var/lib/postresql.

Grateful for any guidance,

Regards,

Andy

Re: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb

[Cj Taylor]

Correct, Sergiy.  As I fiddle with this nightly, the core of my issue seems 
to be that mysqldb is not yet python3 ready and django 1.5 is calling for 
it.  I changed my database settings in settings.py to '
django.db.backends.mysql' which in return calls for mysqldb when I do:

python manage.py syncdb


I suppose at this point I'm just seeking anyone who has tried to run django 
1.5 and has MySQL actually working.  If so, how?

ok, so what needs to happen here?  Do I need to recode

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb

[Cj Taylor]

Hello all,
  I'm new to Django and somewhat Python (a PHP refugee).  I have been 
learning Python 3.0 so decided to give 1.5 a run.  I tried to run the 
command below and mysqldb is missing.  I noticed on 
http://mysql-python.blogspot.com/ that mysqldb won't be ready for 3.0 until 
the 1.3 release.  So I guess the question is if there's any kind of 
workaround at the moment? 

Thanks,
  CJ

How often does Django need updates/patches?

[Taylor Smith]

Our new website is being built on Django and we are trying to figure out 
the easiest way to host and maintain the site. 
It seems there are a few managed hosting options like webfaction and 
heroku, but they will only handle the linux and database patches and 
updates. 

I am hoping to find out how often Django need to be updated. -- like every 
month? or more like one or twice a year? 
can a non-developer handle these updates or would we be better off hiring 
someone? 

any advice is much appreciated!

Multi-tenant open-source e-commerce solution?

[Alec Taylor]

Are there any open-source multi-tenant e-commerce solutions built with Django?

I.e.: where you can have multiple shops on the one site, and a
shop-create form on the frontend to add more shops.

If there aren't any, I'd be willing to start such a project.

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

Re: Announcement of GUI for Creating Models

[Alec Taylor]

Kurtis: That looks very interesting; just finished reading it.

I wouldn't recommend this for Timothy though; it looks like something
which will require a large team to develop.

Maybe submit it as a project proposal to Canonical?

Or post on Django-Dev [and here] to see if you can get a large +
skilled enough team to build such a system.

Compile/generate JavaScript from Django Templates?

[Alec Taylor]

To completely decouple the client-side, would it be possible to
generate JavaScript from the server-side Django Template?

E.g.: using PyJamas

If not, I will use tastypie or piston to expose a RESTful JSON API
which I will consume with a JavaScript framework on the client-side
(AngularJS).

Would simplify things a lot and prevent double typing thought if it is
possible to compile/generate JavaScript from Django Templates.

Thanks for all information,

Alec Taylor

Thoughts on web2py?

[Alec Taylor]

I've been playing around with web2py the past few months, even
open-sourced an event-site (aka meetup.com) which I wrote with it.

Now I might be starting a job where all I'll be doing is
Django—probably GeoDjango + Pinax—and was wondering a few things:

1. Apart from following the tutorial, what else should I do to learn Django?
2. What are your thoughts on web2py?

I will listen to reasons, e.g.: if you think I shouldn't look back to
web2py for other projects and stick with Django for all my future
projects.

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

No, I have a heorku account without a credit card.

Admittedly it was automatically created via facebook... :P

So just do the same thing, create an app on facebook and it'll say "special
offer from partner" click that and you'll be setup for free on Heroku

If the CLI is the only thing stopping others from setting up the
server, then why not write up a neat little installer with a desktop
shortcut to run the Django server?

Easiest method would be to use NSIS to create the installer,
bootstrapping on the packages needed from here:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

Alternatively if you have a bit more time on hand (or your compilers
and whatnot are already setup) bootstrap MinGW onto your NSIS and set
the PATH and modify the necessary Python files accordingly. Then you
wouldn't need to bootstrap anything but distribute
(http://packages.python.org/distribute/) and then you can just
silently run all the pip's and have it virtualenv'd all the way down
to a Desktop shortcut :)

No reason to do anything crazy like that.

Forget SOCKETS, use HTTP or HTTPS.

Clientside/mobileside/webside build in HTML+CSS+JS.

Re: Use Django to implement my GUI!

[Alec Taylor]

You could always create a responsive interface—e.g.: using
twitter-bootstrap—and then distribute it onto every platform.

Web (obviously): Django templates or "standard" web frontend—using
e.g.: REST, XMLRPC or JSONRPC—that calls functions and serialises data
in a less data heavy way (on clients' end)
Mobiles: Adobe's open-source PhoneGap
Desktops: Adobe Air, HTML Applications (Windows) and MacGap (OSX) are
all possibilities... however I would recommend checking out Nokia's
open-source Qt, and distributing your product with a renderer. In
essense, you would be distributing your own browser without your page
as homepage, and which can only access what you allow (e.g.:
*.mydomain.com/*). See their webkit-fancybrowser example for an idea
of how this could be done.

Without gcc you can't do anything yourself.

Extract the binary out of the Python package for your platform

Alternatively I think this has a Python interpreter:
http://portablelinuxapps.org/development/wireshark

Web-framework+db with the widest scalability?

[Alec Taylor]

Disclosure: I have posted this on 
stackoverflowand 
comp.lang.python
.

I am building a project requiring high performance and scalability, 
entailing:

   - Role-based 
authenticationwith 
   
API-keylicensing
 to access data of specific users
   - API 
exposed with 
   REST  
(XML, 
   JSON ), 
XMLRPC, 
   JSONRPC  and 
SOAP
   - "Easily" configurable getters and 
settersto create APIs accessing 
the same data but with input/output in different 
   schemas 

A conservative estimate of the number of tables—often whose queries require 
joins—is: 20.

Which database type—e.g.: NoSQL  or 
DBMS
—key-value data store or 
object-relational 
database —e.g.: 
Redis  or 
PostgreSQL—and 
web-framework —e.g. 
Django , 
Web2Pyor 
Flask —would you recommend?

They seem to be mostly written from C#, all the information they are
giving me is an auto-generated schema page with set/get examples in
SOAP [for one service] and XML [for the other]. I suspect that a few
of the others will be in JSON though.

The functionality I'm providing is as follows:

Server1 >[send as SOAP 1.1]>[My Server]>[Server3 receives as XML in
Server3 schema]
Server3>[Send as XML]>[My Server]>[Server1 receives as SOAP 1.1 in
Server1 schema]

However since they will still need to access the data on demand (and
not wait for a set/get operation from another party) I will need to
create models (database) storing all information received.

What would be the best way of doing this?

Would TastyPie still be a good choice, or would Django-Piston [or some
other] better suit this problem?

Thanks for all suggestions,

How would I go about building an API converter?

[Alec Taylor]

I have multiple different APIs with different schemas serialised in XML or
JSON which I need to output as a standardised schema.

Main features needed:

   - *Serialisation to XML and JSON*
   - *Authentication*
  - I.e.: can't get/set data unless you have the correct user+pass
   - *Role/Scope limitation*
  - I.e.: you can't access everything in our database, only what your
  role allows for
   - *Get/set (conversion) between different schemas*
  - I.e.: No matter the input API, you can get it formatted in
  whichever output API you request

Is this the sort of problem Slumber <http://slumber.in/> with
TastyPie<http://tastypieapi.org/>would be best for?

Or are there a different libraries you'd recommend?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Re: cannot import name `feed`

[Alec Taylor]

Actually it can be fixed by removing django.notifications like so:

Edit `settings.py` by commenting out
"notification.context_processors.notification", within
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS and "notification", # must be first from
INSTALLED_APPS. Finally edit urls.py by commenting out
url(r"^notices/", include("notification.urls")), within the patterns
tuple of urlpatterns.

Then edit templates/site_base.html by removing this line:

{% trans
"Notices" %}{% if notice_unseen_count %} ({{ notice_unseen_count }}){%

Re: base.css 404ing on Django 1.4a1

[Alec Taylor]

Unknown command: 'collectstatic'

Note: I am running the latest official build of Django (1.4) with the
latest dev build of django-staticfiles.

Also of relevance:
> python manage.py help | grep -i "static"
satchmo_copy_static

(yes, I am running a satchmo shop)

"Expression of Interest" django project

[Alec Taylor]

I am thinking to setup an "expression of interest" page with a survey
ending with a "subscribe for updates" button.

The relevant features being:
• View percentages who choice which options in the survey on a graph
• Subscribe for updates equates to newsletter backend
• Twitter Bootstrap theme

It shouldn't be too difficult to build this "from scratch" using:
• django-surveys
• django-chartit
• emencia-django-newsletter
• django-bootstrap

Then I would just put it for anyone to use on either GitHub or BitBucket.

The question I must ask before I begin this project though, is:
"Has someone done this already + have they done it well?"

Thanks for all information,

Alec Taylor

Templated rich-text egg for Django?

[Alec Taylor]

Good morning,

We've all seen document templates in a variety of systems, such as
PowerPoint, MailChimp and Google Docs.

I would like to utilise the same sorts of capabilities on my website.

The following features I require:
• Create a library of document templates
• Allow others to pick a document template to create there document from
• Allow others to swap the template their document has without losing data
• Document authoring in rich-text (e.g. using CKEditor)

(I will probably end up using a full CMS such as Mezzanine around the
whole system.)

Please suggest modules allowing me to do the aforementioned.

Thanks for all recommendations,

Alec Taylor

Theme template designer form

[Alec Taylor]

I am creating a website which will allow people to post content with "fluff"!

That is; users will apply choose from a selection of templates to
apply to their content[1] before displaying it on my website.

[1] Content contains no hyperlinks; just images and general
manipulation text manipulation (bold, italic, underline, alignment
[also for images], highlight and text-colour) with full drag-and-drop
support implemented in JavaScript.

Can you recommend some projects and/or modules which will assist in
building this project?

I keep getting an ImportError saying "cannot import name `feed`".

Re: django registration

[Alec Taylor]

DRY principle is what Django is all about.

Use Pinax instead of developing your own Profile system.

If Pinax profiles don't show exactly what you want, extend them.

Unless you're doing this as a learning exercise?

Re: Creating a hospital erp (hospital management) in Django

[Alec Taylor]

...

Design doesn't matter one bit for what you're doing.

Don't try and win design awards by having CSS dropdowns.

Concentrate on solving their business logic rather than adding images
of sexy nurses

And get that book. There are free books online, there's the official
django tutorial also.

http://divitodesign.com/css/how-to-dropdown-css-menu/

When you're doing template stuff, read:
- HTML
- CSS
- JS
- Python

tutorials.

Also, get a book. The questions you are asking are textbook level questions.

A lot of ERP is general across any field.

I recommend working from the AGPL licensed OpenERP into Django
(http://apps.openerp.com/addon/4533): http://openerp.com

Then just build in all the hospital ERP related functions, streamline
all the interfaces (including config and admin interfaces).

If you find yourself finishing the project early, just throw in some
scope-creep :P, it's an ERP afterall!

Good luck ;)

Checklist for appreciating a project from 1.2.7 to 1.4a1

[Alec Taylor]

Good afternoon,

I'm bringing the "social-commerce" project up to the latest trunk of
Pinax and Django.

Is there a checklist of things I'll need to update?

I've begun updating it, i.e. adding the new database dictionary:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'OPTIONS': {
'read_default_file': '/path/to/my.cnf',
},
}
}

But it keeps giving me error after error once I've done that, so
instead of tackling issues one at a time, I thought their might be a
guide of some sort?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

base.css 404ing on Django 1.4a1

[Alec Taylor]

Trunk version cannot load Admin CSS.

First I tried setting the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX to MEDIA_PREFIX, when
that didn't work I tried manual replacing. Yes, I know it has been
depreciated and that the css are stored in
django\django\contrib\admin\static\admin\css, however it did not work
when omitted so I placed that \static\admin\ folder as a subdirectory
of my regular static directory.

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX is now set to: '/static/admin/' in settings.py.

This partially worked, the top of my admin pages now look like this:



So dashboard.css is loading fine now, it's just base.css which isn't.

How should I go about getting that base.css link to not 404, or
*actually* changing that ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Admin CSS not loading on dev

[Alec Taylor]

I cannot get the admin CSS to load.

The dev docs shows that:
"ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX
Deprecated in Django 1.4: This setting has been obsoleted by the
django.contrib.staticfiles app integration"

Checking another project I had which I generated with "startproject"
on 1.4a1 I found that its CSS works and is located here:
django\django\contrib\admin\static\admin\css

However I cannot figure out how to make the css load in my other
project. I have tried setting up a new virtualenv, but this didn't
make a difference.

Please tell me how to autoload the CSS without manually moving the .css files.

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

Displaying template location in html

[Alec Taylor]

With 40+ HTML files it's easy to get confused as to where each

I don't want to annotate each file with its relative path manually, as
this will prove cumbersome when the site finally goes production.

Is there a trick to displaying the template location on-screen?

Tutorial for dev version not working (Polls app): admin

[Alec Taylor]

Going through the tutorial using the latest trunk in a virtualenv.

I am getting stuck in this section:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial02/#s-customize-the-admin-form

No matter how I rearrange the fields (even when I remove the
"question" field), I cannot notice any difference in the poll admin
screens. I have tried syncdb, and restarting the server.

I've looked at the index screen
(http://localhost:9400/admin/polls/poll/), the view screen
(http://localhost:9400/admin/polls/poll/1/) and the add screen
(http://localhost:9400/admin/polls/poll/add/). There are no
differences in field order/display on any of these pages.

I have followed the tutorial exactly, but the fields aren't being rearranged.

Is there a different way of rearranging admin fields in Django 1.4?

Thanks for helping me get this working,

Alec Taylor

Learning Django+Pinax - Recommend books and/or tutorials?

[Alec Taylor]

A friend of mine is joining my team, but unfortunately only knows a
little Python (CGI) and neither Django nor Pinax.

Which books and/or online tutorials should I recommend to him?

I am thinking:
- https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/
- http://www.lightbird.net/dbe/

But not sure if the second link is still valid for 1.4, and if I'd be
better off giving a textbook of some description to him.

What would you recommend?

Model-driven Django development

[Alec Taylor]

At University I've learned various techniques for model-driven
developments, such as:
- Class diagrams (generate code)
- ERD Diagrams (generate db code [e.g. SQL])

Can any of these sorts of—or for that matter, any sort of—model-driven
development techniques be used for Django?

Multiple Symposion installs on single-domain

Symposion is the conference project built with Pinax which is used by
large Python conferences including PyCon and DjangoCon.

I would like to create a project providing the following features:
- Display list of conferences hosted on this domain
- Create a new conference "site" with one click (specific user-roles only)
- Centralised authentication and profiles (eventually expanded out
into a group-centred system [http://i40.tinypic.com/hvzdrk.png])

So the only link between Symposion "installs" is the centralised
authentication and profiles which show conference attendance history.

Any advice on how to allow multiple Symposion installs on the one domain?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

Meetup.com/EventBrite/SmallCommunities equivalent in Django?

[Alec Taylor]

Is there an equivalent to Ruby's SmallCommunities, Meetup.com or
EventBrite in Django?

I've been looking at the features of Symposion and of a few Pinax and
handstand projects, but I've yet to find something workable for a
Meetup.com/EventBrite style event repository project.

Do you know of one?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

Re: Pinax or Straight Django

[Alec Taylor]

Well if you're writing social-style apps (e.g. friends, invites,
events, groups, forums, blogs, wikis, social-networks) then Pinax.
Otherwise go with Django.
