foo: that will blow up in your face if there is no forwarded_for (KeyError)

[redacted]

you could `request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR', request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR', '')`, but pulling it out into a function and giving it more lines would be nicer

I used methodField \o/

hi. Modifying a codebase with an existing DB. I see blankable model fields defined without defaults, e.g. `name = models.CharField(max_length=100)` ... shouldn't this produce an error when one applies migrations? or they must've "1) Provide a one-off default now (will be set on all existing rows with a null value for this column)"?

foo: it's not the middleware that's bugging you, it's the model

foo: apart from that, i don't see a reason for it not working

slowly i'm beginning to wander, why this isn't built into django

here's the loic solution to the header problem itself: https://github.com/un33k/django-ipware

[redacted]

you can google that

"low orbit ion cannon"

aka overkill

blip99: if a field can be blank and accepts empty string as an empty values, it will use an empty string as the default without asking for an explicit default

foo: as for your question: clone django-request on github, patch it, install from your own repo instead of the official one. optionally: send PR, hope for inclusion, switch back to the official repo

[redacted]

is still think the PR should work, though

unless it doesn't apply anymore

[redacted]

it's only a handful of lines. not too hard to apply manually

knbk, yeah but in the example i posted, it cannot be blank. they must've ignored the migration warning and filled in temp values

[redacted]

blip99: hm right. So the migration file was already created, and you're expecting an error when migrating?

foo: you're welcome

foo: how is it going?

very basic question, what is a good way to filter search? for eg: http://dpaste.com/3WVDG74.txt is there any way in django that can make the `size__eye,size__b,size__bridge` optional? or that has to be done in a lot of if(s)? I wonder how is it done when there is a lot of filter parameters? lots of if statements?

knbk, yeah, but the database alrady has this content migrated into it (thus i won't see the error when i apply other migrations). i think that's accurate

blip99: you can check the migration file to see if it has a default

Is anybody there?
