One very stupid question: Can you use the Django's ORM way *outside* a web application (i.e. to replace SQLAlchemy)?

asarch: Sure. It's all just Python.

Thank you mattmcc

Thank you very much

so i created the polls directory within the mysite directory as instructed by the tutorial, but the new directory does not appear in the mysite directory. I tried to import polls into mysite, but I'm getting a "source is in the hierarchy of the destination". I tried to refresh pydev as well, but the polls directory is not showing up. googled for a solution, but went on a wild goose chase.

sorry i wasn't clear. the polls directory does exist in the mysite directory, but it does not appear in the project files within pydev.

so i want to know how to import the newly created polls directory into a pydev project

that was very confusing. paste ls -R

./mysite:

__init__.py settings.py urls.py wsgi.py

__init__.pyc settings.pyc urls.pyc wsgi.pyc

./polls:

__init__.py models.py tests.py views.py

the polls directory does exist in the file system, but it's not showing up in pydev.

how do i work with the polls directory in pydev?

just for the record, if you're going to paste something and it's more than 2-3 lines, use a pastebin, not the channel

ok

also, most likely, your issue is with pydev... unless you have a specific need for an IDE which is apparently not Django-friendly...

yes, it's a pydev issue. does anyone on this channel have expertise with it?

is there a pydev channel?

Ok, i'm getting closer to my goal, but I'm having one hickup, which might be my fall. How can I refer to a field created by 'annotate' in .extra :o/

Not a django question but can anyone just go to http://typezebra.com/ and see if a list of fonts appears on the left sidebar before it hides?

charas: just looks black to me

the list hides first, then the fonts appear about three seconds later and remain on the page.

Thanks folks, for me it appears after a while and then disappears forever

this is happening for local fonts but google fonts and edge fonts are appearing just fine

Hello

I've been on the page for about a minute and the font list remains visible.

NeilB4Zod: I know. This is what making me crazy, sometimes it is visible sometimes it is not. For example in Safari it is never visible but in firefox always visible but in chrome sometimes yes sometimes not

where can I get help with PyDev?

Pydev Docs

I used that for a while

i didn't like it

I am using PyCharm

Its very good.

hi

Hi

Any questions guys?

If you could help with mine, that will be awesome

I don't know your problem

It's driving me nuts why sometimes the list of fonts appears on the left here http://typezebra.com/

I just joined, and i can't see your question

and sometimes not

ok

Let me have a look

thanks

I am using django class based views it gives an error if i try to assign reverse('home') in success_url where 'home' is a named url can somebody help me ?

charas, always visible, chrome

chromium*

madprops: can you try again in incognito mode?

biggenius: i got one, how can I use .extra on fields that have been created by .annotate ?

refreshed 5 times, always visible

I solved the problem.

ah i see the problem

On Mozilla Firefox

biggenius: Did you?

Its not visible

on Chrome/Chromium

its visible on left

I gave up on PyDev and Eclipse. Emacs and python-django.el rock my world.

For me Pycharm does the trick

Mathuin: i use Komodo

Its really good, i can design database structure, it comes with DB viewer too

biggenius: Exactly, it is visible sometimes and sometimes not, very random behavior across browsers

So

what do you want?

To make it visible, or hidden?

I've been using Emacs since the early nineties, so I'm on the wrong end of that learning curve.

Always visible

ok

biggenius: any idea how to solve my problem ?:P

let me look into that too.

if you find a solution to that, i'm sure lots of people will like you ;)

Solved

Dude, this is problematic

Text Rendering CSS property

Have a look at my link

It was never a problem before even with that tag, let me remove and try again

ok

when django admin docs say to only use the django admin for 'site managers', what does that mean? Webmasters or any user i want to allow to edit content of part of the site?

Site managers --> who manages content.

They people you trust for not playing with it.

It depends on how you setup for user.

so only for people you trust? Not just different roles?

You can add diff, roles.

But for that you need to take some precautions so casual user don't trick your system

biggenius: Text Rendering CSS property removed but I still see the problem. Safari browser seems to be biggest culprit as it never appears on it, however on other browsers it's random, sometimes visible, sometimes not

ok

what can change during each reload?

are you running any interval things
