I'm guessing you want this pronounced like "DJ easy" or something. That's the closest I came up with that didn't sound like "disease". This seems really cool and I'd LOVE to try it out. Please contact me.

You could get the warnings and still exit with a 0 status and continue, or override the validations. Pre-commit hooks can still get you valuable information.

You could do alright (and very customizable) with the django admin and introspection. "Somebody" should probably write up a guide on doing that.

What was in my mind is more like what you describe as "Doodling" in [ http://paulgraham.com/ideas.html ]. NOT the type thinking that gets you with the next social geofenced daily deal. There is some differentiator between the two that I thi

You attacked that sort of thinking a couple of times at Startup School events. In certain ways, it was troublesome, because I like to think that's the sort of person I am, or the business that I want to start. But now hearing you say again

With the way that apple computers hold their value, I'm surprised that there aren't physical leasing systems from third parties. $30/mo on a mini, $45 on a low-end air seems doable.

I had assumed that it was on purpose so that you might have one more pre-screen type opportunity, or one more point of data, apparently not.

I know this is "standard wordpress". The problem with this is that your email isn't secure password storage, neither is the delivery of your email. Reset forgotten passwords, don't store or transfer them in plain text. Please.

That's usually my first reaction to the AGPL -- Because most open source projects I try to file away as "This might be useful for XYZ client, or in a project that does UUU" I'm not sure that this fits in that criteria, I could imagine insta

Start by putting your email in your profile ;-) -- Where are you located? I'd guess that somebody local will be best for you.

It is unlikely that you'll be able to administer a test like this effectively. A test with difficult enough problems is about the WAY you think, not the ansewer you end up with. That even disregards programming tests as a decent measure of

I think that what I'm actually torn about is if this actually means anything or not. YC is so methodical, and everybody can say on an application "I love this" but I'm guessing what really has to happen is that it has to show in your work,

For those interested in getting to know requests vs urllib2, I gave a talk @ PyOhio, covered some simple examples in each (and why requests is super great) http://python.mirocommunity.org/video/4388/pyohio-2011-consu...

There is support for arbitrary verbs, just more direct API support for the common ones. here's the api for a generic request, get is right under it: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/blob/develop/reques...

cd ~Path/to/django; pip install -e .; It feels better than symlinking to me. I would really only do this if I had a custom patched django though. If speed/bandwidth is a concern, just make sure your pip cache is setup properly.

If you like render_to, you might also like TemplateView http://django.me/TemplateView Class Based Views are awesome when you get the hang of them.

You can directly implement views based on the request method with django's class based views (View) in 1.3. The dispatch method does almost exactly what your restful function does. Just inherit from View, and define get(), post(), etc.
