Still sounds like an issue with the docs to me, and while they do still have some issues, I'm a big supporter of the CBVs.
I've posted this here before, but http://ccbv.co.uk/ really helps cut out most of the pain of the "looking through the source code" stage of understanding the CBVs because it squashes the class hierarchy and allows you to "see the wood for the trees" as it were. There are UX issues and even the odd bug, but it helps. In other words: it's a work in progress, but until the docs are fixed, I think it's a very useful resource. Disclaimer: I was involved in creating it, but it's not-for-profit, and there for everyone to use. I would really like to get involved in getting the docs to the stage where they display something more similar to this, so if you know how I could do that, I'd really like to know. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
