scruz: doesn't celery support periodic tasts?

it does

Thank you, guys :)

tashi: FunkyBob meant postgresql ;)

indeed, I did

but honestly... does mysql really slow down with so few records?

I can also use PostgreSQL, prefer that in fact.

That's built-in in Django, right?

yup

as long as you have psycopg2 installed

same as mysql support is 'built-in' for django and mysql-python

g'night all. Thanks for the advice :)

Hey everyone

Anyone have any experience authenticating with SAML? Working on implementing some authentication system atm for an application.

Problem here - whenever I import a particular model (which has 18000 records and 4 ForeignKeyFields) I get hundreds of thousands of call to django's deepcopy turning this into a slug. Any help would really be great.

So the question is - what's it deepcopying and how do I prevent it?

johngilbrough: the queryset

johngilbrough: every call on a queryset [filter, exclude, order_by, etc....] creates a new queryset

AIUI this has been remedied in 1.6

So having a field like "models.ForeignKey('History', blank=True, null=True)" is creating query sets?

with a class-based view, how should I route different URLs to methods of the same class? Should I override View.dispatch in views/generic/base.py?

no

ded: no.. the as_view method of the class yields only one view function

FunkyBob: it yields a view function which calls dispatch

ded: which instanciates the class and then calls dispatch

so there's only one view

if you want multiple patterns to map to the same view... that's up to you

anyway... gotta

go

FunkyBob: it looks like it would work fine to me. I could override dispatch such that it uses different methods for the response, depending on *args, **kwargs passed it from the URL parser.

how do I make the custom django command ignore options passed in at command line

it captures all of them

and since I didn't define them with optparse, it says command not found

But, my question was whether that was the recommended way. In my case the view corresponds to a certain resource. For the client to render the resource a couple of ajax calls are necessary. It would be convenient if those ajax calls were handled by methods on the same class.

PopNotSoda: all of them? by default there's only --help and such

nkuttler: Basically I'm running a command "manage.py tool --pid"

nkuttler: I want the custom command to ignore the --pid

nkuttler: but it catches it and says "no such option"

PopNotSoda: not sure what you mean... why do you throw random args at the command?a

nkuttler: I'm going to parse them with a non-standard parser

nkuttler: I want the Django custom management thing to ignore the args

PopNotSoda: is <tool> something you've written?

ded: yep, its something I've written that I want to invoke with manage.py

when using amazon s3 with boto is it possible to store a specific static file locally and not on s3? I'm having trouble with media in my admin classes

so you can handle all the argument processing in tool

ded: right but when I pass them into the commandline the Custom Django Management catches it

ded: I want it to ignore the options

ded: so I can pass them thru to the tool

what do you mean "Custom Django Management" ?

PopNotSoda: well so *do* define them with optparse..

PopNotSoda: are you writing a management command? I.e. is the thing you're writing define a class

class Command(BaseCommand)

nkuttler: optparse is retarded, I tried defining with optparse but it doesn't work because I'm using argparse

from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand

PopNotSoda: so use that

nkuttler: they don't map 1-1

Is there some way to make it so that Django could care less what hostname is passed to it, completely bypassing ALLOWED_HOSTS?

and thus never return any form of error upon receiving SuspiciousOperation

i have this function http://dpaste.org/fQM9y/ how can return site so it doesn't escape the forward slashes?

it's an additional context_processor

Scratch that, you just set it to ['*']

why would Django escape the forward slashes out of the link anyway?

sorry this is really what's in the source

FunkyBob: OK I see what you meant now. To put it another way, since the view is instantatied and destroyed within each request, I may as well subclass the view class.
