Re: Packaging django apps

2005-09-08 Thread Jason Huggins
older of a user's Django installation. Your installer script should look for where the Django library has been installed, and then save your app in django/contrib. Simply host your "egg" on your website for now, and edit the Django project wiki with a link to your file (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki). Hope this helps! And I hope the core Django devs add their opinions on this topic. Django-all-the-way-ly yours, Jason Huggins

Can a field's validator access the request object?

2005-10-07 Thread Jason Huggins
By default, it looks like validators in Django are only given the new field's value and the posted form data... I have a custom validator for my model that depends on information only available in the request. How can I get to the request object from inside the validator? I've added a keyword arg

Yeah, my thoughts exactly on the turbogears thing... I like Rails, Django, and gosh, even Plone, specifically because they're used in large, referenceable, high-traffic *production* sites. The Rails gang are very handy about documenting knowledge of their production support and deployment tips and

I wrote the patch using Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows XP and Python 2.4.1. I'm hoping to set up a dev server (or at least VMPlayer image) that will test the patch against Windows and Red Hat versions of Oracle 10g. I highly doubt there are version specific differences in the patch between 9i and 10

I don't know what is wrong in this particular scenario.. but all I have to say is Memory leaks should be taken very seriously and should be hunted down and exterminated with extreme prejudice. Yes, Python has built-in garbage collection, but is way to easy to create circular references betwe

Good to know. Then I stand corrected. But I guess this proves the point that I *still* don't know what the heck is causing my very real and very "now" memory leak problems in my Plone app :-) (And I should probably switch my rant to the Plone boards, not here). I like to think to that I'm relativ
