Exception swallowing in urls.py + admin.autodiscover() == a lot of frustration for developers

2008-08-23 Thread Jonas Pfeil
Dear Django developers, The code importing urls.py has a flaw that is easy to fix but has the potential to cause a lot of frustration especially for inexperienced developers -- which I do hope will try out Django in large numbers soon :) The problem is this: When importing urls.py _any_ exceptio

MySQL and Autocommit

2008-08-23 Thread David Cramer
Recently I noticed a bunch of queries I was executing by hand (one's which the ORM didn't support) were not being committed. I dug into the docs, and it clearly states that the default transaction mode is autocommit, and mysql's default transaction mode is autocommit. So, my question is, what's

It is quite common to be hit by the insufficiently verbose reporting that #8221 and #7524 fix -- e.g. see the duplicates that have popped up. As I already said, #8221 is only needed because the patch I provided in #8177 and that got commited fixed only the most burning issue I was directly hit wi

Proposal: Widget Templates

2008-08-23 Thread Aidas Bendoraitis
Hello folks! Django cares about model-view-controller separation, but the HTML for the widgets is hardcoded in the render method. I would propose to have overridable templates for the widgets, so every project could have specific presentation of widgets in the system (render method should take a
