Make DATABASES[x]['TEST']['USER'], etc available for non-Oracle DBs

2015-09-20 Thread matt
Currently, the TEST database settings like USER and PASSWORD are only used by the Oracle backend. See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#std:setting-TEST_USER I just hit a case where it would be nice to use a different database user during testing -- and I don't use Oracle.

Methodology for increasing the number of PBKDF2 iterations

2015-09-20 Thread Tim Graham
The latest guidance on increasing the number of PBKDF2 iterations for each release of Django was written by Alex in July 2014: For each release... "Increase the default PBKDF2 iterations in django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher by about 20% (pick a round number)." He noted in that c

Unfortunately here is where we hit an asymmetry: single threaded performance of PBKDF2 _as realized in our pure Python implementation_ indeed does not improve by 25% every 8 months. Unfortunately 24k iterations is behind where we'd want to be (~100k iterations, or a factor of 4, last I checked).

Some love for admindocs

2015-09-20 Thread Žan Anderle
Hi folks! I've been thinking about admindocs lately and that they would really deserve more attention than they currently get. It's a quite useful feature and I think a very underrated one. They were initially there to provide documentation for 'front-end people', when working on templates. Wh

Re: Making max_length argument optional

2015-09-20 Thread Podrigal, Aron
Iv'e started to work on this ticket [1] today and here [2] is my work so far. I'd appreciate some feedback on the implementation. There are a couple ways to handle the database type length. 1) Separate types one with a length spec and one without (as mentioned by Ben Davis in the ticket) 2) Some i
