can i store non-db-related variables in a model? i'm running into some problems and i want to know if it's because of this. example: http://dpaste.com/819631/

NaOH: Well, a model is still a Python class, so it can have attributes that aren't fields.

mattmcc: okay, thanks

Foxhoundz: you might want to look into virtualenv

why can't I .pop a value off of a querydict?

Kapura: It's immutable.

Kapura: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/reque...

so I added an additional field in an inline formset form at the template level

I'm making a copy of the data and popping the extra value off; why cna't I validate?

Extra data wouldn't affect validation. Forms only validate data they're told to validate. What errors do you get?

validation error: opy

sorry

validation error

ManagementForm data is missing or has been tampered with

Do you have the management form in your template?

?

what does that mean

no, I guess

ok

I put a {{ formset.management_form }} in the template

and I got a MultiValueDictKeyError

What does it say?

er

a lot of things

can you create a signal for an abstract model and it will work for all actual models derived from it?

A signal, or a listener?

listener... just tested it and it didnt seem to work

whats the best chat app ?

MSN Messenger.

lol

for django that is !:)

i wanna build a streaming site, like ustream

I dunno, I just link to qwebirc

I don't know if a irc based client would do

johnnny22, streaming site for video ?

ya

not like youtube, but only for live streaming that is.

Build your own? :p

How do you set like... "Do not reply here! <noreply@mydomain.com>"; I have django-registration set to send email from noreply@mydomain.com -- but how do I "label" that email as something instead of just receiving an email from "noreply@mydomain" it says "Domain Web Team" or something?

syst3ml00t: that's what I'm thinking of doing, just wondered if there was some nice skeleton apps, or some examples. Also, i'm not yet sure how I'll handle the chat feature, pondering between having the chat go through the webserver/comet(or something like that), or simply having the chats go through the video stream socket.

johnnny22: See if this works for you - http://ajaxim.com/

I think you'll want to do separate because if you have it go through the video stream, it may affect performance of the stream.

the problem with having the chat go through the webserver, is that it might be totally offsync with the video, while instream, it'll be more synch'ed, no ?

but you've got a point, it might affect the quality of the stream.

syst3ml00t: I'm also pondering about having the stream not go through a server but it being p2p style. That is sort of why I'm pondering about having the chat's go through the streaming p2p sockets.

johnnny22: In that case, if it's p2p, than yeah, I would probably go through the streaming sockets

has anyone here used tastypie? How would I make a simple API call that takes a POST of some kind, applies it to a django form, and returns as a result whatever the validation errors were that were produced? I recognize that this isn't REST as such, but it's still an API call I'd like to have in the same place as our restful interfaces.

syst3ml00t: all that my server would have to do, is handling the user channels I'm guessing :o|

This is pissing me off! Arrrgh. I have 2 unit tests, a_test, b_test, testing two method a, b. the problem is, when a throws an exception test fails in b_test. I've been looking at why and it's getting more aggravating.

syst3ml00t: nevertheless how i stream, the list of user channels could be accessible via a channel list page, but I'd also like it so that the server can "push" notifications to the browsing users that a new channel was "opened", and I'm not sure what's the best way to go about that.
