Greetings All,
Now, you may think me a bit of an asshat for doing it this way, but....
I have a MySQL db backend, DJANGO admin, and a self-coded desktop
application ('InsectApp') written in Python. The 2 apps, DJANGO-Admin &
InsectApp, both use the same 'settings' file and access the same data (I
coded InsectApp so it would use the DJANGO database API because I thought it
would make life easier!).
The problem: is that there are now 2 ways of entering data, one via either
app. For example, I'm in InsectApp and have imported model 'species'
(InsectApp.models.speices) - meanwhile I add a new 'species' record via the
Admin. On returning to InsectApp, I cannot access the new record unless I
exit and restart the app. I have tried reloading InsectApp.models but it
doesn't work.
I'm assuming it's something to do with caching the data on first import of
model 'species', but I have no CACHES in my settings.py. In any case both
apps use the same settings.py.
Can anyone explain and/or help me? Is there even a way of doing it?
Thanks in advance
p.s. I need the Admin site because we need certain database info, eg species
taxonomy, to be updated remotely by taxonomists. The InsectApp is for rapid
entering of large amounts of data wihtin our local network, which would be
too clunky using the Admin alone. Hence the 2 apps
