may be BUG. SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg

[sector119]

Hi All!

My Transaction model have method:

def _get_serial(self):
return
Transaction.objects.filter(commit_date=datetime.date.today(),
operator__office=self. operator.office).count() + 1

CAUSE ERROR

File "/home/sector119/devel/eps_src/eps/apps/transactions/
models.py", line 30
return
Transaction.objects.filter(commit_date=datetime.date.today(),
operator__).count() + 1
SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg

"operator__office=self.operator.office" WAS truncated to the
"operator__" in traceback...

WORKS GOOD

def _get_serial(self):
return
Transaction.objects.filter(commit_date=datetime.date.today()).filter(operator__office=self.
operator.office).count() + 1


Is it a bug, or I misunderstood something in filter usage?

Thanks!

The ORM filter() method uses double underscore "__" in a magic way.
See http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#filtering-objects

It looks like you have stray whitespace or line breaks in the middle
of things which should be continuous text. This would, naturally, lead
to strange behavior. For example, this works:

User.objects.get(username__exact='bob')

But this probably won't:

User.objects.get(user name
__ exact='bob')

Double-check your code.
