I applied and pushed all but your final whitespace revision.

When Tobias reads this thread again, I'm sure he'll give you commit.
The fail_silently sounds good, and yes these failures were a rather
big oversight.

I had no idea it said that! I had got so used to Django's style that
anything else just grated...

Also recall that PEP8 is prefaced with the comment that foolish
consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. :-)

Yes, we should be following PEP8 here, although we have a lot of code
that doesn't follow PEP8 whitespace. New code should endeavor to be
PEP8 compliant with regards to whitespace, but I'm certain that

Single lines between top level classes & functions

2009-12-01T23:06:45Z

Prompted by Luke's whitespace removal patch for django-contrib-
messages, I thought I'd bring this up.

The Django contributing guide says "Unless otherwise specified, follow
PEP 8."

Should new code use two lines between top level classes & functions,
like PEP 8 suggests, or should the contributing guide be updated?

I just converted some code, and the API seems good to me. I had one
issue, which was the fact that I had some code which only had access
to the User object, and not the request object, which had to be re-
plumbed. The only place this change will be an issue is where it is
difficult to do that (e.g. if your code is being called from somewhere

I'm sorry Russell, i'll try to be more specific.
So, i want to know how the test environment works when i run a suite
test. How can i create and destroy a separated Django testing
environment?
I want to write a tool similar zope.testbrowser*, then i need to
create a Django testing environment.

Sounds good to me.

Also sounds good.

I'll try and take a look over the next couple of days.

Re: Fixing syncdb initial fixtures overwriting existing data

It may seem counterintuitive to you, but that doesn't change the fact
that this is the way fixtures have worked since they were introduced.

You're not the first person to suggest changing this behavior, either.
Search the django-dev and django-users archives for past explanations.

It's unclear what information you are looking for. Django's
documentation contains details on the testing tools Django provides:

Plus details on how those testing tools are used to test Django itself:

I've removed Less, LessOrEqual and NotEqual. I kept 'Not' as I think
it's slightly cleaner than putting 'negate' into BaseCalc. It also
removes the asymmetry of using 'Or' at one point in the code, which I
found slightly puzzling.

Doh! Added now, along with some docs.

Fixing syncdb initial fixtures overwriting existing data

2009-11-30T18:25:03Z

Hi,

Syncdb will currently automatically load inital data fixtures if the
files are there, even they are overwriting existing data in the db.
This seems
contrary to the principle stated in the syncdb documentation that it
will never alter existing data (see [link]

Django Testing Environment

Hi guys,

I'm starting in Django and want to know how the Django test
environment works. I want to write a testing tool, similar
zope.testbrowser.
How can i start this? Where can i find information about this?
I want to contribute with Django, but i'm lost.

Thanks

I'd say reduce the code again.

And I think you missed adding some files in your repo?
