Updating instances of related models

Hello everyone. I've been spending some time with django and I must admit I find it very intuitive. Hat off to the devs. What I'm trying to do is write a small survey app. It has these three basic models:

newbie startup question about ImportError on Windows with Apache/mod_python

I'm on Windows XP, Python 2.4, Apache 2.0, Subversion, mod_python, MySQL, PostgreSQL (just in case), etc... My project is named "mydjango" (instead of mysite in the tutorial). I can see the lovely Django welcome screen in my browser, so Python, mod_python, and Django should be working properly.

How much do you cost?

Hi there. I hope this isn't a completely off-the-wall question. I'm the editor of a small alt-weekly newspaper with a hideous web site. We want to re-do it in Django, to snap up the presentation and also add some new features that will move us at least slightly into the 21st century.

POST Behavior

I am looking for advice on best practices. I have an intranet application running (on Django) for which there is a process that POSTs a request to print checks. It is a POST because it creates entries in the checks table but the result is a PDF file that the user can then print. But, because

Jay, Many thanks for this. As a recent newbie to Django and Python could you give me a steer what I would need to do to make this tag. (I familiar with making tags and filters, but can't see how I can use a tag to solve this problem.) MerMer Jay Parlar wrote: > On 11/10/06, Jay Parlar

Sorry, I did not get you... What I do in those cases is indeed put a variable in the settings.py, and a default value in the models.py of each app: try: myvar=settings.myvar except: myvar=default_value I then use the variable in the model to construct the get_absolute_url function. You

Kamil, many thanks but your suggestion does not work. I should have mentioned that I had already tried that. I am returning a dictionary nested inside the main dictionary like so:- return render_to_response ('myapp/detail.html', { 'key1': value1, 'key2': value2, 'campaigns':dict1}), so I
