Re: Which IDE should I use for Django?

Personally - I'd recommend Sublime Text 2 - but this is a text editor, not really an IDE. But, it doesn't come with 'useful' code completion or code intellisense. It also really depends on what sort of developer you are.. If you came from a background of using a text editor like vi/nano/editra,

Weekly discussion/randoms thread..

Since starting, PythonWeekly seems to have been sending out some quite useful and interesting information.. Although it's not directly related to Django, a lot of the information is highly relevant to every day Django use. It also got me thinking, perhaps it would be nice to have a weekly thread

Re: Bulk import of data

Faster in what sense? Prototyping/development time, or run time? If it's only a few MB, I see little reason to go as far as to writing it in C. Unless you are performing the same import tens of thousands of times, and the overhead in Python adds up so much that you get problems. But, quite frankl

Re: aggregate(Sum('x')) returns None

None != 0 If no rows were encountered, then None should be returned, because there was no data to aggregate, thus how can it logically come back with 0? I'm -1 on this On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 6:24 PM, M. Can Bayrak wrote: > Agree, i think sum must return decimal. Same problem with me. > > -- >

Re: Online Django meetup at 10am EST to discuss basics

Hi William, You might want to give a bit more advanced notice when doing online presentations/meetings.. It's not unusual to give 7 days notice.. 48 hours is usually the minimum.. Also 10am EST is not very 'timezone friendly'.. Usually the best is around 6pm GMT (10am PST, 2pm EST), as everyone is

Re: [] Re: memcached - Errors and Solution - please provide comments!

+1 on hashing the key. Just my two cents worth but, the way our company does it as standard is something like this: import hashlib def generate_key(*args, **kwargs): return hashlib.sha224(pickle.dumps([args, kwargs])).hexdigest() Then you can do stuff like: lol = YourModel.objects.all()[0] g

Django class based views - not keen - anyone else??

Hey all, I took a look through some of the documentation for class based views - and my first reaction was "Eww.". Imho, it looks much like the "admin section" customization stuff, and would quickly become a pain to work with if you deviate away from 'the box'. This comes from me having absolute

You're correct :L Thanks for this - I think I might replace my daily break with random Python docs pages, rather than 'theregister' for a few weeks! Cal On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 3:09 PM, Tom Evans wrote: > On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 7:17 PM, Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd

So, just out of curiosity, how many other people didn't realise you could do this: >>> print '%(language)s has %(number)03d quote types.' % \ ... {"language": "Python", "number": 2} Instead of this: print "%s has %03d" % ( "python", "2" ) 6 years of python development, and I never found
