Hi all,
Just coming back to Django after an 18 month absense, great to see
some of the work that's gone on here, i'm really impressed! Been using
Rails for a while (not by choice) and it's a joy to get back into
Django.
Enough of the fluffing though, and down to business.
render_to_response is a great shortcut, however in my opinion it's let
down by not supporting request. I see this has been discussed a bit on
the ticket, however that's more in respect to replacing the existing
shortcut.
I propose a new shortcut of the following form:
Index: django/shortcuts/__init__.py

from django.db.models.manager import Manager
+from django.template.context import RequestContext
def render_to_response(*args, **kwargs):
return HttpResponse(loader.render_to_string(*args, **kwargs))
load_and_render = render_to_response # For backwards compatibility.
+def render_to_response_with_req(request, *args, **kwargs):

if isinstance(klass, Manager):
manager = klass
def get_object_or_404(klass, *args, **kwargs):
if isinstance(klass, Manager):
manager = klass
If anyone has any ideas for better names, please chip in.
Regards,
Paul
