Re: filesystem path in settings.py

The static files app doesn't serve static files (except in development). What it's primary purpose is to take a list of "finders", and locate all of the static files from a variety of places, and collect them into one directory. This allows reusable apps to package static files within their

Re: Long usernames in auth_user?

This is a known limitation and it's something that people _want_ to get fixed (but just merely increasing the length isn't helpful, because soon someone comes along with the new length + 1 and the same problem occurs). The issue is that the django.contrib.auth User model while providing a

Re: Templates available to a cluster

The template system uses pluggable loaders that can locate a template based upon it's name. So using that you can store your template anywhere. There is already an app for storing templates in the db, you could easily make one to store it somewhere else as well. On Wednesday, October 19,

Re: a django question about "python manage.py syncdb"

You need a __init__.py in your models.py. You also need to import all your models into that __init__.py. If I recall you'll also want to set class Meta: app_label = "the name of your package" Because the models directory will screw up Django's ability to auto figure it out. On

Re: Second coming of Java?

+1 for what Tom said. Django is perfectly capable at working at every level of the web. While it's true that once you start scaling at super high loads that you start having to do some lower level stuff to cope, the same is true of any application framework really. If your shop prefers Java

I think it's a load of tripe. There's plenty ways to speed up Python. And it's fast enough. It's not about being the fastest, but about being fast enough to get the job done, and having an enjoyable experience writing your web application. Java is not that thing. On Wednesday, October 12,

Re: When is a good time to use db_index? Rule of thumb?

To expand, a better answer is when you have profiled your application and have shown a bottleneck, and have tested it with an index on that column and seen an improvement. db_index isn't free, it incurs a penalty on writes so you need to be careful when using them. On Friday, September 16,

You could pick one site to be your canonical site, and add it as a second db to the first, and then use a custom authentication backend to auth against that site, then create a local user with the same password hash. On Monday, September 12, 2011 at 7:38 AM, Markus Gattol wrote: > Say I have

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: >

We talked a little on IRC, but just thought i'd reiterate my thoughts. This should not be in core, and I don't believe it ever has a chance of being in core. That being said, I think that an external "installer" app like this wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, and could help to make
