For those interested, the snippet I posted (#230) has been updated to

And (after checking the python docs because I still think in Python
1.5.2), random.sample() makes even more sense.

The way you're picking indices is inefficient:
while len(picked_indices) < arg:
candidate = random

Straight-up random will create dupes.
My current thinking is to have python code creeate a list of 3 from 7
sidebar features and in the template have INCLUDEDs surrounded by
IFs.
I've just uploaded a template filter called "several_random" to the
django snippets site. [0]
If you combine this with orestis's suggestion, I think you'll get what
you're looking for.
Quick side note: Using the built-in random filter in a template
multiple times could give you the same result
Put in a simple, hard coded python list and use random on this ?
You can put callables in the list that return the right info, so you
can automate the stuff...

I have a sidebar in my page design. I have 7 or so features that can
go in a sidebar (links, quote of the day, infostat, on this day in
history, etc.). I have models for each of those features.
I can easily use django to have the template fill those out for every
page, but what I want is to
7 matches
