Looking for a project
Hello all, As part of the third year of my computer science degree (at the University of Warwick), I need to complete an individual project. I'd quite like to use this to do something for Django. The project is meant to be done entirely individually, which means that something that works as a standalone app (rather than being a branch of Django itself) would be preferable. The project needs to be completed between the beginning of October and April, with about 5 hours a week being spent on it. I have a few half-formed ideas of my own, but if anyone else has an idea of what I could do, I'd like to hear about it.

I had a couple of ideas, but I can actually only recall one of them now[0]: a Django calendar app. This would probably break down into a couple of parts, a CalDAV server implementation and a frontend (similar to the role of, but not as impressive as, Google Calendar). The intention would be that the two should be decoupled enough to run on separate servers. If the former proves to be complex (as it may well do), I'm happy to lose the latter part. > Otherwise, you could look at the wiki for discussed features or even > get involved in 1.2? As I said, I'd like to avoid working on the core as part of my project, as there may be some problems with submitting work based on an existing free software codebase.

Filtering on Many2Many Related Objects
Hello all,
Earlier I was trying to filter for objects that had a set of other
objects related to them by a ManyToManyField. It's a bit awkward, and
I have a couple of proposals to improve it.
Consider the following models:
class Person(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=128)
class Group(models.Model):
persons = models.ManyToManyField(Person)
Consider a group g containing Persons p1 and p2. In order to filter
for groups containing p1 and p2, one has to construct a QuerySet
containing p1 and p2 and then pass that into the filter call.
I think a better syntax for this would be:
Group.objects.filter(persons__contains=[p1,p2])
The second problem I hit was if I wanted to filter to get Groups which
_only_ containing p1 and p2 then I have to do something like:
Group.objects.annotate(num_persons=Count('persons')).filter(num_persons=2).filter(persons=q)
where q is the QuerySet mentioned earlier.
This would be considerably nicer:
Group.objects.filter(persons=[p1,p2])
What do people think about this? Is it worth my looking into some code
to do it?
Cheers,
Dan

Sure, but if I want to filter on several different numbers of persons, it gets very messy very quickly. The second suggestion could also be implemented using a count, but again that's rather unpleasant in all but the simplest use cases.
