Re: dbsettings, and user configurable app settings

Whatever configuration system using variables of a language is a disaster and it's going not maintainable as has been showed in Django. My solution was to use YAML, and then to use a class to convert it to Python. Features: * The python configuration is only re-built if yaml config. has been chan

Re: dbsettings, and user configurable app settings

It's a disaster from the maintenance view point. If it were not so, then people would not be proposing to refactor the settings as has been made in Pinax, or from multiple posts so many times. This is nothing new. Many people dislikes that kind of configuration, of the same that many people hates

Re: dbsettings, and user configurable app settings

I really don't see how your YAML file is any more maintainable than Django's settings.py approach? If anything, I would argue that it is less maintainable, as you would have to maintain not only your YAML files moving forward, but also the code which transposes it into a settings.py. On Wed, Mar 1

Re: dbsettings, and user configurable app settings

1) In implementation, how is a YAML configuration file any different than the Java/XML example that you offered? Syntactical differences between XML and YAML aside, both systems define settings in markup languages (which by definition have minimal capability for logic) that are eventually parsed (b

Re: dbsettings, and user configurable app settings

As far as a solution that "magically solves everyone's problem nicely", that's what django-appsettingsis trying to be :). It handles quite nicely the issues of scoping and maintainability that you discussed, organizing everything in a pythonic manner.

Problems with DatabaseCreation, table names, and index names

Hi all, I'm posting this here, not as a ticket, as I'm not entirely sure it's Django's problem, and so would like some input*. [Base]DatabaseCreation has a method sql_indexes_for_field, which, handily, returns the SQL indexes for a field. Less usefully, both PostgreSQL and MySQL have limits

Proposal - hook to modify links in object-tools

Currently to add a link to object-tools one has to modify a template. I think that in most cases it would be much easier to do that through python - if admin actions have a mechanism for removing existing ones/ adding new ones why object-tools does not? Sometimes it's impossible to modify an admi
