is there a method to compare two instances of a model, but to compare the values of every field that isn't the primary key?

i.e. every key that isn't 'id'

err, not key. field. every field that isn't 'id'

hi guys, im looking for some assistance i've been trying a few thing and nothing seem to work , all i want is when a user edit a job, if theres a new image1 in the form i want to take the old one and delete it on cloudinary but this method doesnt work and im not sure why , any idea> heres the pastebin : https://dpaste.de/AQiC

CrowX-: no, but in 1.8 it'd be mostly easy for all scalar fields, using _meta

my site-packages present in lib64/python2.7 and i see my compiler is using the lib/python2.7/site-packages what i do please as i am using opensuse

what compiler, linkedinyou ?

linkedinyou: are you using virtualenv, btw?

yes

wow... way to ignore half my questions...

i try to runserver it give me issue

what issue?

if I have an object TheObject created by using a form's ObjectForm.save(commit=False), how can I search if an identical object exists in the database? would ModelName.objects.get(TheObject) work?

No

importerror no module

how can I then?

CrowX-: actually, a Form will create the model instance at instanciation, fi you don't pass one

other than listing every field name

no module named hashcompat

a very long filter, maybe. depends on your model

linkedinyou: please read the topic

linkedinyou: which version of Django are you using? which version of Python are you using?

linkedinyou: FULL TRACEBACK OR WE CAN'T HELP YHOU

i upgraded from 1,5.1 to 1.6.7

FunkyBob, how can I check if identical object exists in the db?

python2.7.8

I just started using aws RDS with multi-az.. I am wondering in case of failover, would django reestbalish connection when an instance dies, and pickup the next one (dns failover)

CrowX-: do a get() testing all the fields you deem constitute "identical"

i upgraded from 1,5.1 to 1.6.7 django

primepie: very likely...

linkedinyou: you said that

FunkyBob: cool that's what I thought

primepie: if you haven't enabled persistent connections, Django will just try to make a connection

if you have, it will find it's failed... and try to reconnect [or 500 that page, and treat the conection as closed]

FunkyBob: I think this should be everything relevant http://dpaste.com/2HYNDBT

if I inherit from AbstractUser, do I need to write a usermanager, or it will just inherit that too?

CrowX-: you probably want to do as the docs say, and make your own

unless you think the default one knows how to properly create_user and create_superuser on your model

i just want to add a couple of fields to the default one

changes nothign of what I said

if i paste bin a view of mine, could someone help me identify test cases to adequately test it?

here is the view: http://dpaste.com/15TFD9W

linkedinyou: make line 5 request.user.player_id unless you want it to fetch the player record

FunkyBob ok i will thank you

oops, that was for limbera

linkedinyou: did you dpaste those details?

no worries

no

i thought line five in manage.py

will do FunkyBob

limbera: go through each line of code... every time there's a branch -- make sure you pass good/bad/ugly cases

limbera: every time there's reliance on a value... good/bad/ugly...

every time there's an expected outcome... test that assumption

thank you

limbera: your welcome

hey FunkyBob in your experience how much would it cost to hire a good django developer in melbourne?

just a ballpark estimate

how much are you offering me? :)

limbera: I'll do it for half the rate of FunkyBob, but it will take me at least four times as long :p

hello, what is the best way to load test a django app? ultimatly I'll be building out the REST API and service endpoints, but I'd like to stress test the server code early

any tricks/tips/tool suggestions appreciated

jtri: ab is probably a decent starting point. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/ab.html

http://multi-mechanize.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ is also handy.
