Ronny,
Thank you so very much for your input; it has helped this newbie user
a great deal. The one outstanding problem I'm having here (and it's
the last field in my model...) is that I'd actually like to use a
FloatField to save my data, but it's failing validation for that type
of field ("enter a valid floating point number, etc"). Did you
override the field validation using some clean() method variation, or
am I missing something? See my modified class definition below:
Thank you again,
-bkev
def feetinch_to_decimal(length):
"""convert US style (feet-inch) length to decimal feet (ft)"""
if length == u'' or length is None:
return None
m = re.match(r'^(?P<feet>(\d{1,5}))(\')(\s?)(-?)(\s?)(?
P<inch>(\d{1,2}))(")?$',length)
if m is None:
raise Exception("unable to parse length: %s" % length,)
feet = int(m.group('feet'))
inch = int(m.group('inch') or 0)
return (feet + (inch/12.0000))
class FooBar(models.Model):
length = models.FloatField(verbose_name="Length",default="0")
try:
bar=FooBar.objects.get_or_create(id='1',length='1')
bar.foo=feetinch_to_decimal(input)
bar.save()
except Exception, e:
if isinstance(e,IntegrityError):
print "Pass"
else:
print "Fail with %s" % type(e)
class Admin:
pass
