lachesis: says who? you could end up with user-upload js and stuff

lachesis: users can upload files over your static files

nkuttler: i was called in to rescue a django 1.3 project

jtri: the cached staticfiles storage thing md5sums all your static files

trying to bring it up to 1.6.2, and this has so far been my biggest hurdle - the old dev used media path everywhere

so fix it

i'd do incremental upgrades though, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6

I have model Vote and model Review, after a vote is cast I would like to take the total likes - total dislikes and update the vote_status field on the review model, what would be preferred, post_save signal on Vote model or setting up a trigger on the db side ?

preferred = speed and least amount of race conditions as the tables are rather large and have large amount traffic

xsamurai: why do you need to save the (total_likes - total_dislikes)? Why not a function in Vote that returns the difference?

does the docs explain the hidden form field.. i can't seem to find it

ignite: I would like to sort reviews via the vote count, tables are rather large and doing a sort each time would be very expensive

plus I dont know if its possible to sort by function , unless I do it in the view ?

but then again with such a large queryset that will likely causes lag

so im left with a signal or a trigger

xsamurai: .objects.annonate(difference=F('total_likes') - F('total_dislikes')).order_by('whatever') possibly. haven't tested

is 'save' on a through ManyToMany model trigered when the model which contains that ManyToMany is saved?

ignite: thanks I'll take a look at it

Getting a really weird error when trying to pip install mysql-python:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 65: ordinal not in range(128)

rabbite: what version of python?

1.6

Trying to upgrade to 1.6.2 from 1.5.4 in a vagrant box

rabbite: python version?

2.7

er

wait, 2.6.6, though I should be running 2.7

rabbite: which pip version?

pip 1.5.4

You really think it's related to version conflicts?
