Re: ImportError at/ No module name

We just tripped across something similar here as well. The person doing the tutorial had flipped the 'startup' and 'put "blog" in the INSTALLED_APPS' steps of the tutorial. She commented out 'blog' from INSTALLED_APPS and startapp worked as intended. -scott On Sunday, August 11, 2013 at

Re: django-php - yeah, it happened.

Well, things like Twig are based on Django templates. We're currently migrating from PHP to Django, and if something like Django-PHP made that easier I would most definitely use it. To be honest I wish there were a Twig-like solution for Django. We're going to try adding the missing tags to

Re: How many workers do you run on one machine using django celery?

You can't test a system like this by sending one message: you're just testing the latency, not throughput. Latency is the end-to-end time it takes for a single message to make its way through the system. Throughput is the number of total messages per second that can make their way through. As

Django registration is not compatible with custom user models in Django 1.5, as it directly references django.contrib.auth.models.User in several places. If you want to maintain your own copy you can swap those refs for those of your own User model. -scott Via mobile phone On Apr 16, 2013, at

Improper quoting using extra() in Postgres

Hi all, I'm using the extra() method to add a calculated field to my object: Table.objects.extra(select={'level':'nlevel(hierarchy)'}) where nlevel is a function defined in my PostgreSQL database. The problem is that either Django or the driver is quoting the function instead of inserting it
