Hi, since your assert-function won't be like assert in python or UnitTests, you mix semantics nobody knows everywhere else. Please remember that assert Statements have special meanings depending on __DEBUG__ http://docs.python.org/ref/assert.html http://pyunit.sourceforge.net/pyunit.html#TESTC

new field idea

Hi django-developers, I had the need for a field type similar to USStateField: an OlympicNationField which takes 3 uppercase letters to the official olympic nation abbrevation. Maybe this is generic enough to go into django.db.models.fields ? I attach my solution. Regards, Dirk -- "Feel free

Re: new field idea

Hi django-developers, a generic api for registration of new fields would be a good idea. As IOC, FIFA and ISO-3166 codes are not the same this won't help me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IOC%2C_FIFA%2C_and_ISO_3166_country_codes But IOC, FIFA and ISO-3166 should have the same api.

Hi Scott, I came back to your LDAPSupport. The pre_auth_bind is a little bit tricky evan with mk_pre_auth_bind, but I got it (after a while :) And there seems a problem with pre_auth_bind() and update_user(): You let construct somebody a pre_auth_bind() which search for the dn of a user, but

Re: django and LDAP support

Hi Scott, for sure I understand now why you need a second search on update_user() and with the defaults for mk_pre_auth_bind those two searches should be the same. A security question about get_ldap_user() def get_ldap_user(l, username): """ Helper method, makes a user obje
