hyp3rkyd: yeah, I hear you.... I'm just trying to gague what you know, what you have ,etc...

FunkyBob: I've read that mod-wsgi should be the easiest and simplest to do

it's certainly the preferred approach with Apache

is it being used in production ?

absolutely!

FunkyBob: that's nice to know

FunkyBob: I hope there won't be a problem running php and django projects at the same time

not that I have a problem ...because they are testing projects

but just want to know

hyp3rkyd: I've heard there can be an issue because some people compile mysql into their mod_php

but I may be confused...

and I never use PHP, or MySQL.. so it was never an issue for me

FunkyBob: thanks for the info... I'll start experimenting with mod-wsgi right away..

FunkyBob: next thing I'll try is nginx

for both languages... I have been reading only positive feedback and a lot of performance increase

hi!

I have a little doubt

I know we can use humanize in template views

is there any way to use it in views.py

?

sure, just import it an use it

it's all just Python

actually i thought that was django template special

thanks guys

)

Template filters are just Python functions with a little extra decoration.

Template tags are another matter.

okay

what should i import in views to get intcomma function

i tried from django.contrib.humanize import *

git grep "def intcomma"

django/contrib/humanize/templatetags/humanize.py:def intcomma(value, use_l10n=True)

star imports are bad

I am a windows user so no grep for me

P

thanks

mascot66991: haha, get a proper environment…

Hi! A signals related question: If I have a foreign key in my model A, pointing to the model B, will the A "post_delete" signal be launched when a B object is deleted?

i.e. will the signals follow the cascade delete?

Does CSS have a way to display text vertically ? (rotated 90 degrees)

tapia: probably, but just try?

when serializing a object such as 'albums' that has a nested related field with a many to many relationship with 'songs' i need to prefetch all of song's details in order to avoid hitting the db multiple times, I do this here: https://dpaste.de/1mcQ

I think it does. Then how do I select such text ?

anyone know of a better way? as you can see, it can get pretty big and monotonous and i don't know if it's the right way that i am doing it

apollo13: I've tried, and it's not happening, but maybe I'm doing something wrong

apollo13: the B post_delete is executed, but the A's one isn't

tapia: sounds odd

(and I'm positively sure that an A object is removed from the DB)

actually, depending on how django deletes them, it might be that it issues a signle query for all the A and doesn't issue any signals

would have to check the code for that

I expect it'd happen in minimal queries via a Collector, which probably means it wouldn't fire signals

kezabelle: yeah, but then again the collector also issues an __in query to delete iirc :þ

apollo13, kezabelle: no, I was wrong. It is correctly called. I had a typo in my code :-)

thank you :-)

tapia: good to know

anyone maybe got some advice for me?

regarding my earlier question? ^^

Zac12: I'd probably do something like https://dpaste.de/LyRG

clever, that'll make it a bit more readable

and you can re-use it if you need to prefetch all relations on songs again at a later stage

but is that the best and only way to do it? isn't there anyway to just specify that i wanna get back all related fields on songs for the album itself?

Zac12: no, cause that's generally a bad idea imo

eg imagine you change the table and everything now includes an extra join which you might not want

that's also why select_related() [sic] is deprecated
