Feedback from django-roa module
David Larlet
I'll try to sum up my main issues with Django, trying to add a Django
ROA/WOA/SOA/BuzzwordOA module which uses a custom backend in order to
access remote resources in a RESTful way. Basically, it calls URLs
instead of hitting database (a picture is worth a thousand words, look
at the schema here: http://welldev.org/django-roa-diagram.png for
details).
My first attempt was to create my own backend (as Oracle one) but it
eventually looks way too complicated (I don't need all SQL machinery)
and I end up with my own Model/Manager classes. I planed to use Meta
class in order to add resource URL but I can't because of Meta's
restriction:
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/db/models/options.py#L89
Eventually, I use a static method because it's easier but I don't know
if this restriction is worth the pain.
I got an issue with M2M relations because SQL is hardcoded and I can't
catch it in Query(Set) object: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/db/models/fields/related.py#L428
It is/will be an issue for all non-sql backend (CouchDB for instance)
and I think it should be fixed. Otherwise, I'll need to hack a large
part of Django just to support those relations.
Integrating auth is not as hard as I thought thanks to inheritance, I
just wrote my own remoteauth app and it works. Great. On the other
side, integrating admin is more complicated. The main issues come from
integrated ContentTypes (I'm still thinking about an elegant way to
handle that) and hardcoded way to retrieve objects:
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/admin/options.py#L584
A get_object method on ModelAdmin can solve this issue. In the same
attempt, it's useful to be able to easily change the ChangeList class
in order to customize url_for_result (for instance), it'll be solved
once #9749 is commited. I'm sure people involved in composite PKs #373
will agree with me :)
I hope it will not be considered as a rant, my English is pretty basic
but I just want to discuss those issues in order to help the community.

David Larlet

You should post this question on django-users:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users
where it belongs. This list is for development of Django itself, not user questions, as you have been told several times. Please try to use the correct list. Thank you.

I would add that this is the second time in two days you have been
reminded about the purpose of Django-developers. You were also warned
- twice - on the 16th of January.
If you persist in posting user queries to the developers mailing list,
we will be forced to ban you from the developers list.
I would also like to use this opportunity to _beg_ you - again - to
_please_ trim your signature.
Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Given the amount of answers :) let's discuss a concrete
implementation, I just submitted a ticket #10109 about that and I'd
love to know your thoughts about the design of the patch (no
documentation nor tests for now, for the moment it just works for my
project).
