#django

it's a "potential" query which, when iterated, will yield records

I thought it already had the records hmm

is there any method to slice the QuerySet object?

how are you guys ?

jayant__: Not too bad. It's friday, after all!

hahaha :D

nice

uuball_gabriel: You can't slice it from the end, only the start.

schinckel: ooh.. getting close to beer o'clock

I actually had a G&T last night: first one in months.

uuball_gabriel: but you can reverse() it and the slice from the start

Speaking of beer.. *heads out*

ooh

i am leaving on monday so will have to cover some time on the weekend :P

anyways, i need a few answers

mattmcc, I still have one Friday exam. yay

i have a custom registration that handles token generation and email that token to the user, i tested the registration app by writing tests script, it works good but the same doesnt work in another tests script in a different app

the custom registration basically acts on post_save signal of the User model

yello

but the tests in the registration app passed, i got another app depending on the token to be generated but its not working any ideas?? or am i still unclear

another problem http://dpaste.com/1205889/ there is something wrong in this code that i cant figure out, here is the traceback http://dpaste.com/1205888/

jayant__, your PasswordChangeForm requires an extra parameter, and thus cant be used like that in a FormView

you'd have to override get_form_kwargs

right, that was the way

twoface: alrite, but i am using the forms in the auth app

even though i have a prototype app with ~30 cbvs :/

twoface: well i am not sure about me too

we need IDEs where parent classes are layered behind those in the file you're looking at, like transparent overlays in a medical textbook

not a bad idea

twoface: that method to override was right there in the traceback :P

would be interesting to toggle showing inherited things in my editor

possibly color coded to let me know when I'm overriding things

FunkyBob, i guess i just saw CBV and gave up :)

Pycharm lets you break off editor tabs into their own windows, and also has an effective goto-declaration choice in the context menu

actual IDEs probably alreayd do that, but I'm pretty sure python-mode doesn't do that

and has some shortcuts for going to overridden methods

find me an editor that will tile windows

I can't speak for every IDE, but PyCharm works very nicely for exploring inheritance relationships.

FunkyBob: emacs, dude

FunkyBob: twoface override the get_form_kwargs to what?

eppa|codeshop: bit me :P

eppa|codeshop: vi does it just fine

it'd be nice to say ,ca ,cA ,ci to toggle class inheritance views in vim the same way that I can toggle folding via za zA and zi

jayant__: to return the extra arguments the form needs, of cours

jayant__: didn't you read the code in the traceback?

i use pydev

Also, PyCharm lets you split editor tabs into tiles.

FunkyBob: vim will tile windows for you

FunkyBob: yes, but i cant see any extra arguments the form is expecting :(

bja_: as I said, vi does it fine [and, therefore, so does vim]

jayant__: that's where you looka t the source of the form, of course

jayant__, its python - its easy to read your libraries source when you have issues like this :)

jayant__: it inherits from SetPassword form, which has def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):

FunkyBob: aaah thanks, my eyes skipped that

bob is too funky imo

in fact, help() on that form would have told you the same thing

phix: I shower (almost) every day!

an

btw, can anyone think of an ide that does inheritance toggling out of the box?

and ,

I think he means the music that plays when you enter a room.

and use deorderant?

schinckel: I must be more deaf than I realised...

phix: of course

you should invest in something a bit stronger :)

heh

does this make sense to anyone? I have a CharField that sometimes mysteriously seems to lose all its line breaks

yes - you made a mistake somewhere :)

Do you actually not see them in the DB? Or do you just not see them in the browser? (Browsers strip whitespace)

or you are rendering it in html and expecting linebreaks to be visible

they disappeared from the database

then you have edited it somewhere that didn't preserve them

i've been switching back and forth between branches

nothing in django strips your whitespaces for you

the only place i modify that CharField is in profile.profile = pForm.cleaned_data['profileText'] -- maybe cleaned_data is acting weird

no, nothing is acting weird!

perhaps your form cleans the field and does something to it

my form has no cleaning code itself, plus I never hit the endpoint to activate that code

profile.save() is called elsewhere, but if I haven't made any modifications to profile.profile, that value should stay.. maybe it's MySQL's fault

I don't suppose you're using an IDE where you can just throw a breakpoint in and inspect the data that's coming in.

That really would be ideal.

also using build in pdb or separate ipdb is another good options for debugging.
