It's not pretty without a lot of work, but it works right away. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2008-09-24T17:53:00.000 | 4 | 0 | false | 128,689 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | Are there any good packages or methods for doing extensive CRUD (create-retrieve-update-delete) interfaces in the Turbogears framework. The FastDataGrid widget is too much of a black box to be useful and CRUDTemplate looks like more trouble than rolling my own. Ideas? Suggestions? |
Style - When to serialize a Django model Instance: signals vs model's save method | 136,399 | 2 | 1 | 1,205 | 0 | python,django | If it's core functionality for saving the model you'll want it as part of the save method. However, if you already have a functioning model and you want to extend it for other purposes then signals are your best bet since they allow for properly decoupled modules.
A good example might be that you want to add event logg... | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2008-09-25T03:25:00.000 | 2 | 1.2 | true | 131,327 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | I plan to serialize a Django model to XML when it's saved or updated. (The XML's going to be imported into a flash movie). Is it better to listen for a post_save() or pre_save() signal and then perform the serialization, or to just handle it in the model's save() methon |
Style - When to serialize a Django model Instance: signals vs model's save method | 131,383 | 0 | 1 | 1,205 | 0 | python,django | Post save. That way the new data (the reason for performing the serialization) is already in the database. It'll make for a much cleaner bit of code that simply takes from the database and doesn't have to worry about adding an extra value.
The other way that comes to mind is to maintain the xml file in parallel to the ... | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2008-09-25T03:25:00.000 | 2 | 0 | false | 131,327 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | I plan to serialize a Django model to XML when it's saved or updated.

Is Google App Engine a worthy platform for a Lifestreaming app? | 139,634 | 1 | 7 | 1,087 | 0 | python,django,google-app-engine,web-applications | If you're app solely relies on Django, then App Engine is a good bet. However, if you ever need to add C-enhanced libraries, you're up a creek. App Engine doesn't support things like PIL or ReportLab, which use C to speed up processing times. I'm only mentioning this because you may want to use C to speed up some of... | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2008-09-25T18:46:00.000 | 7 | 0.028564 | false | 135,169 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 4 | I'm building a Lifestreaming app that will involve pulling down lots of feeds for lots of users, and performing data-mining, and machine learning algorithms on the results.
