As James and Fredrik have implied, I believe the proper solution here is to abstract things enough so that you *can* map the concept to a relational database; in this case, assuming that every 'Page' has an identifier, a 'Title' and, perhaps, multiple 'Sections' (each with an identifier and text),

URLpattern kwargs becoming corrupted over time

2007-03-14 Thread Jeff Forcier
Greets all, Been having the most bizarre issue for quite some time now; it seems as if the 'kwargs' portion of various URLpattern objects/views are 'bleeding' into one another once the server has been under moderate load for at least a short period. I will have e.g. a specific view that displays

Thanks a lot for the reply, Malcom! Here's an example of the sort of urlconf/view setup that I've got. The code has some legacy junk that looks odd (like 'session_extract' instead of simply calling request.session.xyz) but is there due to a previous server setup. I'm porting this code to 0.95 in

'Faking' related-object managers on instances?

Hi all, I have an object hierarchy with varying levels of depth, and have a few relationships that span multiple objects - in other words, if A is related to B which is related to C, I will want to find all As related to a given C object, even though they are *indirectly* related. Since I use th

However, keep in mind Pedro's example, where he uses "import x.y.z as a" and then later calls "reload(a)". In other words, using the "as" functionality of import lets you have the best of both worlds--reload() will work, and you can still get a single-word binding in your namespace for your Model

Yea, oftentimes strange behavior is caused by stale .pyc/o files, so a good troubleshooting tactic (that I myself often overlook, unfortunately -_-) is to always blow away all such files in your project and then restart whatever server you're using. Note that there should never, to my knowledge,
