#django

i'm using pytz, and i have a timezone-aware datetime pulled from the database. but i'm printing this time onto a pdf, rather than rendering it with a template. if i print it as is, i get something like 2016-12-28 05:08:49.517000+00:00

i have a string containing the timezone i want to use. how do i combine "Canada/Eastern" and 2016-12-28 05:08:49.517000+00:00 to get 2016-12-28 01:08:49.517000-04:00

is there a good way to test logic in an AppConfig ready() function?

blag what does the logic look like? What are you trying to do in it?

I’m trying to check that a gpg key exists

where are you checking for it?

DB?

env?

I was trying to paginate course list view but not able to do it. I tried puting paginated_by in views and this http://dpaste.de/7Mea code in template but it seems like it does work that way and I am missing something. This is views.py http://dpaste.de/PHtZ this is related template http://dpaste.de/jk5k It looks like I am clueless about how to paginate. I would appeariciate any ahel. Thanks

rajrsohi, ugh, that view looks pretty bad

not to mention it doesn't have any pagination, why are you using (TemplateResponseMixin, View) ?

@Fuyou actauaally I am follwoing pack publishing's book "django by example" and this view is there. This is the exact code from book, I was trying to paginate but could not so I removed that code

rajrsohi, I may be not understanding something. but it seems to me more like "django by bad example" :/

e.g. there is TemplateView that already inherits from those. But since if you want list of objects, there is ListView for it

And extending get() method is not usually a good scheme for CBV. I did it first time I started using those and still struggle to rebuild that project

Fuyou :/ List view I can paginate by paginate_by = number and puting pagination in template but in this example I am not geting any clue. So shall I go my own code and use list view rather than usogn TemplateResponseMixin
