Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

Hi Emil, There are projects like https://github.com/codysoyland/surlex which I like very much. In the end, whatever you can come up which translates to regex in the background would work just fine for django. I personally like what werkzeug does -- "stealing" that sounds like an idea too :D I d

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

Hi Ares, Your suggestion, used in urls.py would translate to: from django.conf.urls import simple_url from . import views urlpatterns = [ simple_url('articles/2003/', views.special_case_2003), simple_url('articles//', views.year_archive), simple_url('articles///', views.month_arch

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

This is actually an interesting concept, and wouldn't incur an, overheard at runtime if simple_url translated in to full regex format at launch time (or on first request, which is when the urls get loaded if I recall correctly). I don't think this would get in the way of includes, and if it's a tr

Re: Django Channels Load Testing Results

Hi Robert, Thanks for doing this load testing. More context would be useful to help us outside observers to understand the potentially different variables. Is redis running locally or are you using elasticache? Regards, Michael Manfre On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 9:41 PM Robert Roskam wrote: > Hey

Re: Migration Questioner and String-Type Fields

Thank you for your input, Jarek. Assuming I have an existing model, adding models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=150) to it, doesn't invoke the questioner on current master. Changing this field to models.CharField(max_length=150) doesn't call the questioner either. Looking at the SQL

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

Hi, Good to hear so much from you. Just want know more, could anyone also explain why at first Django chose to use regex instead of a simple URL routing, except for the flexibility? By the way, like you said, routing in flask (or should say Werkzeug?) is also converting the simple URLs into Rege

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

So it looks to me that the consensus is that this IS in fact a good idea, to supply a simpler, regex-free method to define URL:s. It also seems that the best liked version is something that's similar to what flask uses: /articles///. I've never written a DEP before, but it sounds like a fun ch

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

I would like to see if this could be done as a third-party project (allow "pluggable URLs" which could use any syntax). If not, then let's accept a patch to Django to support it. Over time, if there's some strong consensus about a particular third-party package, then we could bring it in to core

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

One problem with this approach, to let the community decide on this type of feature, is the target audience of it. This is mainly a feature for beginners, and more experienced users are expected to switch over to using regexes directly to get the exact behavior they want. Beginners likely won't

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

There is third party module providing third party url function. Surlex [1] have been mentionned. But any third party solution will need to provide function compatible with django.conf.urls.url. Line 64 of django/urls/revolvers.py is get_resolver. This function return a RegexURLResolver, using is ar

Re: Challenge teaching Django to beginners: urls.py

Emil, Please count me in if you'd like to start a new DEP. I'm also very interested to take this new challenge. And maybe we should dive into the code of URL resolver part of Django before we actually kick off? Anyway, I myself as a experienced user also like this idea. But as Tim and Ludovic men
