Trouble expressing a query in the ORM

Hi. I have a query I am trying to perform in the ORM and I'm not sure how to do it. I have two models: Target and Property with a one-to-many relationship. One Target can have many Properties. I want to list all targets along with their latest properties (as stored under Property.export_date)

The subject of self contained deployments has already been *heavily* discussed in other threads. Self contained / single binary deployments is something that Roberto @ UNBIT is currently working on (and myself), and if you do a search on the mailing list, you'll see tons of ideas on this already.

This is a hard question. It would probably be nice to offer a self contained deployment that nginx/apache could just proxy too, maybe pick that as the default, and then add in writing a fcgi or wsgi file for use with regular hosting. On Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 7:34 AM, graeme wrote: >
