xeberdee: I'm not sure what you're thinking. Why?

so I want to pass something like IS_PRODUCTION=1

maybe the secret key as well

argoneus: On my server, I have two copies of the source. That's usual.

CapnKernel: how do you pass the env var?

oh, you are using nginx

The settings.py for both is in version control, but at the bottom of settings.py, I'm loading local_settings.py. In local_settings, I put things like which DB gets used.

yeah

but how do you tell nginx which one to load?

argoneus: Remember that book I recommended? The local_settings trick is in there (along with lots of other stuff you will want to know real soon)

nginx doesn't know anything about Python or Django

wait

local_settings isn't part of version control?

nginx gets told to talk WSGI protocol on a particular unix domain socket

Correct

doesn't that make deployment painful

One reason is so that you can let other developers have access to the source, but they can't see the SECRET_KEY

well

what I wanted to do

No. It's the only file in the whole system that's not in version control

was pass SECRET_KEY and IS_PRODUCTION to the settings

and it will import either settings_dev or settings_prod based on that

Yes. It's possible

thing is, I read somewhere that if I SetEnv in apache, then the scripts can't see the env. vars

and I wanted someone to confirm

because the post is 3 years old

argoneus: Back to what I was saying, nginx talks WSGI to a unix domain socket.

I have a program called uwsgi that listens on that socket. That's the daemon that runs python/django

Many people use gunicorn for the same purpose

(I run Perl, PHP and Python programs from uwsgi)

oh

argoneus: This might be useful: http://ericplumb.com/blog/passing-apache-enviro...

yeah I'm reading that right now

let's hope it works

Hello. I have a model whichs has a many to many field. Before the model is saved, I’d like to do some addtitional checks. Normally I’d add a contraint in postgresql but I have no idea how to do so using django’s ORM (because I can’t/shouldn’t access the database directly). I don’t want to add the check in the form because it can be bypassed in the admin, rest API, and using `myModel.objects.all().m2m.add(bad_relation)`.

hi, I was wondering if there is a way to include stuff that acts like widgets in django.. So for instance, I have django-allauth installed, now I would like to display it's login form on different pages of my site. Is there a way to pack that form in a widtget or something and then just drop it on certain pages?

Or how do you guys do that?

Ah, I think I found it.. googled reusable templates and there is some info

argh

for some reason my website works with runserver, but doesn't with apache

is wsgi.py called when I do runserver?

ohhh

apache wasn't listening on the port

works now ._.

I am thinking about writing tests for django source code.

Does anyone know the link with official django source code coverage report?

Some kind of continious integration server or something?

If I want to start reading Django source code, where should I start? I mean which module ?

Which bits are most interesting and important ones

jita: You could look for open bugs. If there's a bug in an area, that makes it seem important, I think.

CapnKernel: thanks, I started reading ModelBase Metaclass. Will look through the tickets too.
