askvictor: Override get_object

anyone here have any experience with splitting words using elasticsearch or haystack, like hotels in north carolina to have it split on in?

hey folks, I'm having trouble with using a DecimalField as the primary key

more specifically, it's when I'm trying to access it from other models via ForeignKey, it's trying to access it as an integer

I am trying to filter the queryset for a m2m field in admin site, i just read this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contr... but i am doing it wrong or something: https://dpaste.de/ikYT#L67,68

since I added celery to my __init__.py uwsgi fails randomly

what's the deal?

I keep getting this --- no python application found, check your startup logs for errors ---

Is there are 'cleaner' way to send variables to a template than to override get_context_data()? Seems a lot of lines of code...

uwsgi celery is messed up

frege: sure you don't access django.conf.settings in celery.py?

asksol: I do access it

asksol: interesting; I was just checking that; could it be clash in import?

from django.conf import settings

app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)

the import should be fine, it's actually accessing the setting attributes that will cause import problems

same with that line, since it has the lambda:

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yeah I do this; os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', '%s.settings' % settings.APP_NAME)

now it's working fine

ah, that would be a problem :)

thanks asksol

was driving me nutz

:)

should be added to the docs, several people has been evaluating the settings too early

there already exists two stages in django, pre and post evaluating the settings. Some modules will target the pre stage but there is no mechanism to avoid confusion. I guess django.setup could resolve this if it raises an exception if a setting is accessed before .setup is called

hello how is everyone

does anyone know a method to start a django project with an existing directory/files?

dbieon12: See the template argument

i copied my directory from an old machine onto a new one and just installed django

Oh, so you're not really starting a project.

Are you using virtualenv?

Will south fall back to Django 1.7 migrations if they aren't south migrations? I have multiple apps in a project, and I don't know if I'll be able to move them all to the new migrations at once.

no, it won't

Is it possible to have one model write it's data to an relational db and another model write to something like mongodb?

jnoob22: not yet...

darn :(

what are you using mongo for?

blast. OK. thanks FunkyBob

to hold variable data from tests that don't fit neatly into a relational database and for speed for search/output since this is also going to fill up with many many rows of data.

right... and we all know sql DBs cn't deal with millions of rows... oh wait...

maybe i can write something manually for it.

can't just use a JSON field?

didn't know we had that ... <off to look up JSONField> ;)

it's not part of django core

but there are a number of 3rd part apps to add one... several using the postgres native json field type

still i do wonder FunkyBob ... if db's can do that with speed why is a company say like Alfresco using Solr/Lucene for searches?

as opposed to just querying a database

because search is a different game

pg does have a FTS solution
