Hi, i want make a view to add elements to a m2m relathionship, i want be able to add 5 at same tame so i think i need to use modelformset_factory, right now my formset display correctly the 5 elements, other think what i want to do is change the queryset for exclude one option but i am not be able to do it: https://dpaste.de/GJWb#L64,65,66,67

thepeculiarform: a formset is the right way to go, yes

theshit123: even

but i have problem giving the queryset

first i think i need tell it the queryset for what fk is it, or not?

one of these days I'm going to sit down and learn formsets...

FunkyBob: They are great, for certain sets of problems.

schinckel: oh, I don't doubt it

It’s a shame there’s no supplied FormSetView with CBV though.

even if several major people think they're broken :)

link?

schinckel: The stuff in django-extra-views works pretty well.

(I’d like to know _how_ they are broken)

mattmcc: Hmm. Don’t think I’ve seen that one.

Ta.

I’ll have to see how they compare to my mixins/base views

oh, just chats with people, thinking the API is too complex

Yeah, it’ probably possible to come up with a nicer API.

IIRC, it took me some time to really grok what to do when.

modelformset_factory() and all that sh*t

well, since you've done that, perhaps you can help theshit123 :)

You can just not use modelformset_factory if you don't want to.. :)

Anyone help with an exception? http://dpaste.com/2CQKPND I have a custom middleware to catch this exception. Problem is, this is happening so early in the request processing that Django never actually loads the middleware's, etc. (I guess?) because it's not processed. I tested and verified it's never actually getting there. Any ideas on how to handle this? I'd like to log the error but return a customized template with a 200 error (off hand 500's cause Varn

I think I do not use it: but I remember when I was learning how to use them.

pjs: Yeah, there’s no django code running at all in that stack trace.

pjs: Do you know what causes it?

Oh, hang on, missed those django lines.

pjs: Does the problem persist if you _don’t_ use new relic?

Just blame Graham.

Looking for a python/django developer interested in crypto currencies.. please private message me if this describes you!

schinckel that's not entirely true, there is Django code running.. and UnreadablePostError is, afaik, a Django only exception (django.http)

Yeah, I missed that. Not enough coffee this morning.

schinckel occassionally I see it coming from django.core.handlers.wsgi

pjs: Do you know what causes it?

but mostly from the newrelic module

(ie, what is wrong with the request?)

schinckel yea.. some bot that keeps switching IP's, creating connections and dropping the connection mid-request.

not a huge issue, but was causing like 50 ISE's a day.. which causes our LB to think the site is unhealthy and display a maintenace page. My middleware took care of 95% of the ISE's but these from high up the chain don't make it to the middleware for some reason

anyways.. this ticket is in our next sprint list and I'm having a hell of a time tackling it.. not really sure what else can be done without actually altering the newrelic module, which is not something I want to do (for obvious reasons)

pjs: Can you inspect the request in some other way, perhaps using a WSGI middleware (and prevent it from reaching django)?

pjs: ie, is there something identifying about those requests that you can block?

hi. I'm having a field that is of BinaryType, and I want to just download the content as binary file, does Django Admin support this?

schinckel there is, however they keep coming from different IP's, user agents, etc. Also, this is happening high in the chain before the app can block it with a middleware or something.

how bad of an idea is it to use 1.7 rc2 in production?

ralph4100: not that bad

like - it's not particularly a security concern is it?

ralph4100: no

Wow. I have a form that seems to have picked up a ‘forms’ field from somewhere.

oops

(it’s in self.base_fields, so it’s not something I’m doing in __init__)

Aaaaah!

wage_type = forms = forms.ChoiceField(choices=PLEASE_SELECT + Wage.WAGE_TYPE)

woops ;)
