#django

this dict can have any number of keys and values

like you are doing already

Finally, I need to be able to pass this dict to the view using reverse

why would you pass that dict to reverse?

reverse doesn't call your view

hmm

so what kwargs does reverse actually take?

those it needs, given your url, no keywords it is

oh

that makes sense

apollo13, also apologies about django filter.. i missed the ref and filter docs in the source

amitprakash: np, I am not the author of it ;)

but you commit to it quite heavily

not really

I am just trying to get it in shape for django 1.5

ah ok

and release a new version

so there are a few recent commits but that's about it (for now)

Hello

Another thing, if a view is defined as def viewname(request, *args, **kwargs) .. is it possible to redirect to this view with keyword arguments? If so, how?

is there a site or book that offers a beginner tutorial on django but also sets exercises?

i need exercises because im a n00b in programming and just looking at sample code doesnt help me much

Left_Turn, the Django tutorial is a good place to start

does is set you exercises? i didnt see any

it*

Left_Turn, what do you mean exercises?

interactive ones?

like at the end of the chapter.. give you a task to do based on what the chapter taught

ah

It doesn't, though it might suggest what to do further in some parts.

ok.. i guess ill give it a try.. thnks for the help:)

Left_Turn, it is pretty good

there's also Django By Example, which I find useful from time to time

oh can i google that?

How can I approach the problem of linking multiple email addresses to one account (or possibly multiple accounts to each other)?

Left_Turn, yeah

thanks blip, it looks a lot more organzised than the main django tutorials. ill try this one:)

The main django tutorial is a lot more comprehensive.

oh.. ok youre the expect, ill keep this one for future reference:)

grr, trying pycharm once again and it sucks again :(

opening a file via keyboard from the project sidebar doesn't give it focus, waaat…

what sucks about it? aside from obligitory java remarks ;)

hello, how can I get an array of ids from a query set, rather than an array of objects?

values_list

I know .values('id') gives a dictionary

ah

thanks

kezabelle: question is rather, what doesn't suck

the list will be shorter -_-

apollo13: not really, nearly everyone in the office (me excepted) uses it ;)

then ask them how to open a file from the project sidebar and giving it focus in the editor (eg so you can start typing) without using the mouse

is there any tools available for front end build in python/django?

I got ctrl+tab+1 to switch to the project bar and arrow keys to navigate to the file + enter to open it -> no focus

I genuinely doubt they'd know, they're mousey folk mostly.

okay, ctrl+shift+n works and let's you choose a file to open *gG*

read: it makes the project sidebar utterly useless

arg and still no focus

haha

wait, values_list gives an array of tuples?

jtri: read the docs on iut ;)

rofl Alt+F1 Switch between views (Project, Structure, etc.).

now guess if alt+f1 is taken by my window manager or not :)

I'm going with yes?

gawd I hate list_display_links :(

but seriously, why would I want to leave my focus where it was when I open a new file, that makes no sense

apollo13: funny, I get annoyed at nerdtree for giving focus to the file I've just opened, when I want to open more than 1 ;)

well…

can't please everyone, evidently. Though I'm probably the niche case

I have to pimp my vim config one day

don't, you'll regret it :)

iut?

you'll end up wanting to use vim keybindings for everything, and none of the emulations come close

I had a dream in which I did ":wq" to save the dream-state, in case things went wrong later

hello gents. django always leads me to ask the most _interesting_ questions

like, are there any good examples of wrapping a RelatedManager to have it return instances of a proxy model in its querysets rather than the original model specified for it?

I am not gonna ask why :þ

apollo13: it's the same old story

apollo13: I am trying to split up a big codebase

Figured as much, you probably have to look into the source code for the manager

I may have picked the wrong axis to try to split this on

btw making an m2m relation to the proxy itself won't work right?

yes I discovered that :-/

anyway the idea was to take a few model classes with way too many methods and split them into a base model without any methods (which gets moved to a new project) and a proxy model which stays in place with all the old code

but of course, they refer to each other, and stuff ends up getting the non-proxy versions.

when you have a view, do you generally tie it to a particular template? or do you use logic in the view to make it useful for different but related templates?

I am puzzling where to keep the logic for assembling the address of a person

I have some in the model's methods, some in the view, some in the template - a mess

I would like to rationalise it somewhat

Hi everyone. I am using a FormWizard and everytime I reload the page it jumps back to the first step. is this behaviour intended or am I doing something wrong?

funkybob here?
