Do NOT do this! You know Django will e-mail you error tracebacks if you've set it up correctly, right? See this document: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/error-reporting/

There are many ways to judge jazz music, but in my opinion, a really good jazz solo works as a standalone melody. As (I think) George Harrison said, the best guitar solos are the ones you can hum along with. Listen to a solo by Django Reinh

"Imagine" is a song by John Lennon, during his solo career, not a Beatles song.

You've seen EveryBlock ( http://www.everyblock.com/ ), yes? Among many other things, it'll give you newspaper/blog articles for a specific address in 15 U.S. cities. Not international or even U.S.-wide, but very damn good for its 15 cities.

Acoustic guitar, mostly gypsy-jazz style (Django Reinhardt) and a lot of fingerstyle. I play with some gypsy-jazz bands in Chicago and post YouTube videos here: http://youtube.com/adrianholovaty -- more than 12,000 subscribers! :-)

Hey aditya, I was responding specifically to your confident assertion that "no one is bringing it together," which is a bit of a stretch, in fairness to the many projects that already exist. Lots of people are doing this sort of thing, both

Ellington does not run the entire Washington Post site. A number of specific applications on washingtonpost.com use Django (e.g., projects.washingtonpost.com/congress), but the main site (articles, columns, etc.) does not use Django. Sign

"the tech is mostly out there but no one is bringing it together to really reshape communities and help spread information" I beg to differ! :-) That's exactly what we're doing at EveryBlock.com. We do the work of bringing together news and

I can't comment on the other sites you mentioned, but at EveryBlock, we've heard very positive things from publishers regarding the traffic we send to them. One local news outlet (not a blog) gets 20% of its traffic via referrers from Every

The first is the datetime module. The second is a class. It comes down to how you import it. These two bits of code are equivalent: # Example 1 import datetime; print datetime.datetime.now() # Example 2 from datetime import datetime; print

Chicago winters make you appreciate the summers, just as the smaller Chicago Web-dev scene makes you appreciate the startup folks here, just as the lack of web-2.0-echo-chamber-ness makes you pay more attention to Normal People who don't kn

I've seen a couple of implementations of "Python as a template language with 'end' statements" over the years. Here's one: http://www.kryogenix.org/code/vellum/docs/templates.html Another one is Python Server Pages: http://www.ciobriefin

Not using/allowing Python code in HTML templates is a deliberate Django design decision. We created Django in an environment where the designers didn't know Python (or much programming, in general), and it was much simpler to explain a simp

I think you'll find that the stuff Django does behind the scenes is quite clear, with very few exceptions. The basic parsing of HTTP requests is dead simple, and although the code for the ORM is hairy in places, what really matters is the
