Another important note. It's an intranet site that will run solely on http

TitaniumLeg: The security comes down to different things, but if the app is coded poorly from a security point of view then the method of authenticating to the application is irrelevant

well, if you submit the passwords in cleartext, why bother

Anyone know how to setup caching with a remote (private networked) database?

netscape101: fair point - let's assume the app is coded well

JustASlacker: would that be an argument for using IIS authentication since the Windows Authentication setting avoids clear text passwords?

TitaniumLeg: no, its an argument against http

JustASlacker: I think, could definitely be wrong, that Windows Authentication is meant for intranet sites and authenticates against an active directory account. Which means the password isn't sent on the network, right? And wouldn't Django work the same way?

JustASlacker: and I know...my hands are tied on the http piece

Sounds like django-python3-ldap with IIS is more painful than with openldap

JustASlacker: or rather the passwords are hashed rather than clear text

Lynoure: I couldn't find much info on pairing the two, do you happen to have an article?

TitaniumLeg: I havn't much with AD, might be a good question to ask on #windows. What database are you using?

TitaniumLeg: I don't really know IIS, just with openldap one could pretty much just throw in django-python3-ldap and use it

yes, ask #windows-server

not sure but I think they dislike NTLM with IIS

also windows hashes are bad

JustASlacker: yes, tearingly so

Lynoure: if you're referring to integrating AD with Django, I've already implemented it successfully. I imagine hosting on IIS wouldn't change those settings, although I could be wrong

netscape101: MS SQL server

I'll ask around over there - thanks! Not sure if they'll know the Django side of things though

well, from their point of view its just a reason to let IIS run

Just slacker: sorry, I don't quite understand that. Let it run instead of changing default settings?

nvm, I was just making chitchat

oh, shi~: Invalid field name(s) given in select_related: 'club'. Choices are: user, сlub

I think I made a field name with non-latin first letter >_<

haha I'm dense

I'm having some trouble getting celery to recognise GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS... when I do echo $GOOGLE_APP_CREDS i get the right path, but when I'm running a job in celery it can't find the creds

soo how would you combine two view mixins, that rely on different kwargs?

I'm having trouble getting the syntax right for passing the right args into each parent class

pastie the code

something like this

or maybe not, give me a sec

I thought I'd give generic views another shot

but they are such a mess

imho they add way more complexity than they save by being reusable

hi, could somebody tell me why the tests are failing at travis but working locally? https://travis-ci.org/kakulukia/django-secrets has travis problems with reloading modules? But its working nuder python2. :(

tga: depends on what you are trying to do .. i also sometimes just use the old function based views

kakulukia: I use them by default, they are self explanatory

vs classes where you have non-obvious flow

btw, in this case I had forgot to add a .to_view(), and things were blowing up, nothing to do with inheritance

I'm having trouble with memcached throwing me the following error... no idea what it means: Can't pickle <function result_list at 0x7f3330e9f6a8>: it's not the same object as django.contrib.admin.templatetags.admin_list.result_list

I've been running it successfully previously, so this error is a bit out of left field

tga: you seem to be confused with how multiple inheritance works, nothing to dow with cbvs

mixins count as multiple inheritance, don't they?

typically

sometimes. your issue is overloading same method only first super is only calling first parent in inheritance chain

Beef_wgtn: that sounds strange, why are you pickling a function?

s/only first//

fleetfox: yeah, I take that pastie back, I thought my problem was with inheritance but I was just passing a class instead of a function

you can use a mix-in with a class that doesn't inherit from another, then it would not be multi-inheritance

my statement on cbvs vs fbvs stands though

i mostly use cbvs since i tallows for easy and pretty fispatch on HTTP verbs

in fbvs it's ugly and imperative

atm I'm a bit annoyed at combining context from multiple levels

in fbv it's like context = get_foo_context(request, **kwargs), and that calls get_bar_context(), and so on, I can click and follow the chain

with cbvs it's not that obvious where things come from

yes, you have to be aware on how every mixing works in chain

right, and you can't jump to definition anymore

you can, at least in pycharm

it resolves the chain correctly

most of the time*

well you can jump to the mixin, but not to the context directly

you have to find get_context_data manually

Also your issue is not with cbvs but generic cbvs.

I also have my own mixins

long story short, I still don't see the benefit

in theory it makes some reuse easier because you don't need to do the same legwork in each view, you just go Fo(SettingsView), and the context is all there

well, it's great if works out of the box

in practice though, context = get_settings_context(request, **kwargs) is about it

and maybe login_required

if i need something more involved, i just drop down to plain View

right

oh well, enough moaning

back to writing views

ccbv.co.uk is a great resource to understand GCBVs better

honestly i prefer this way of composition over something like rails does with code generation

Hey all. I am trying to perform a bulk update on a date field in a postgres database. Each date needs to be increased by a number of months. I am trying something along the lines of .update(F(date_field

.update(F('date_field') + relativedelta(months=3)) but I am getting an error that it can't adapt type relativedelta.

What is the proper way to adjust dates using update?

it doesn't know how to cast rleativedelta to interval

tbh i'm not even sure there is support for intervals

you may need RawSql, Value

That is unfortunate. I've been trying really hard to just do everything through the ORM

you can do it with ORM, but you may need raw value for interval

delizin timedelta

woops

Thanks fleetfox and Kangermu. I'll give both of those a try
