Re: inspectdb throws "_mysql_exceptions.Warning: Can't read dir of './test/' (errno: 13)"

for some more info, i debugged it down to this line: File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ python2.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/introspection.py", line 70, in get_relations AND referenced_column_name IS NOT NULL""", [table_name]) it seems the table_name i

inspectdb throws "_mysql_exceptions.Warning: Can't read dir of './test/' (errno: 13)"

pretty basic database i created using the "polls" tutorial, and now trying to test inspectdb (which i need to run against a legacy db). (fwiw, i tried creating a test dir, and didn't help) thanks, bash-3.2$ python manage.py inspectdb # This is an auto-generated Django model module. # You'll have

ROOT_URLCONF

was looking for some info on how ROOT_URLCONF setting is supposed to be used? i am trying something very simple. i have a single django project. there are two apps. i want to run one app, call it foo, with a specific settings file, and set of urls, and bar with something else. so, with amy

xml -> django model

i'm working on a simple concept i'm sure others have solved, but i can't get it. basically, given some input, i parse it, find which objects to create, and do it. so with a model: class Foo(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=20) and input xml of bar my view would parse t

dynamically instantiate a model at run time

i'm trying to do some instantiation of models, based on run time parameters. i'm new to django/python so not sure the term, but the relative java term is reflection. for example, if i have a model, in my django models.py: class Foo(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=20) now i
