You might want to check out Surlex[1], written by Cody Soyland. It basically does what you want. [1] http://codysoyland.com/projects/surlex/documentation/ On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 8:54 AM, Alexandr Shurigin < alexandr.shuri...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all. > > What do you think about adding some

Re: Feature request: ttl method for cache

Hi Piotr, For what it's worth, I have an implementation of ttl on django-redis-cache: https://github.com/sebleier/django-redis-cache/commit/626a3263c428cf59b1428f5fc2aa638efd77346a It's slightly different from your snippet in that if the key does not exist (because it is expired or didn't exist i

Re: Add support for get_or_none?

I like the implementation referenced in the SO thread, but I would just point out that `.get_or_none()` should accept both *args and **kwargs. `Q` objects can be passed in as arguments to `.get()` and `.filter()`, so it's only natural to allow that for `.get_or_none()`. On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 10

Re: Predicate as suggested new feature to extend url resolver process

I think what Rach is suggesting is different from @require_GET, @require_POST, etc. The patch essentially makes a view invisible if the predicate function returns False. I'm not sure this would be good for inclusion to django, since you are tying url resolution to application state . This could h

Re: URL dispatcher slow?

JKM, I'm wondering if it would benefit the community to house djangobench under https://github.com/django to give it more visibility. Just a thought. On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 9:45 AM, ptone wrote: > > > On Thursday, October 11, 2012 1:21:09 AM UTC-7, Russell Keith-Magee wrote: >> >> >> That said

Javascript Testing

Hello everyone, A couple months ago I started work on a django branch [1] (with the help of @jezdez) that introduces a framework for writing javascript unit tests using QUnit[2]. I started with QUnit because Django already included jQuery in the admin and seemed like a natural extension, but it w

Re: Finalizing model-validation: ComplexValidator

Honza and Joseph (and others), thanks for all your work on this. It seems to me that we are unnecessarily tying complex validators to model fields. I would rather like to see complex validators tied to the model as a Meta option since all the fields are in the validator's domain. This would get
