The nice thing is that the source to the book is on github and you can read it on ReadTheDocs.org.

It outlines some good design decisions when creating an API and is well worth taking a look. It’s not too long of a read.

<div class="row">
    <div class="span6">
        <div class="row"><div class="span3"><h2>History:</h2></div></div>
        <div class="row"><div class="span2">Date added to fleet:</div><div class="span2">{{plane.dateAddedToFleet}}</div></div>
        <div class="row"><div class="span2">Total Flight Time:</div><div class="span2">{{plane.totalFlightTime|asTime}}</div></div>
        <div class="row"><div class="span2">Total Number of Flights:</div><div class="span2">{{plane.totalNumberOfFlights}}</div></div>
    </div>
</div>

So that’s wrong. I first tried creating a custom tag to render the entire section that would be used like this within the django template:

{% specgroup "History" "Date added to fleet" plane.dateAddedToFleet "Total Flight Time:" plane.totalFlightTime|asTime "Total Number of Flights" plane.totalNumberOfFlights %}

The custom tag code for the above is:

# tags for groups of fields (such as on plane detail page)
@register.simple_tag
def specgroup(*args):
    """group header label1 value1 label2 value2 ...."""
    header= args[0]
    logging.getLogger().error(header)
    html = """
<div class="row">
    <div class="span6">
        <div class="row"><div class="span3"><h2>%s:</h2></div></div>
"""%header
    # parse remainder of args as  label1 value1 label2 value2 etc....
    data = args[1:]
    diter = iter(data)
    for d in diter:
        data = {}
        data["label"] = d
        data["value"] = diter.next()
        html += """  <div class="row"><div class="span2">%(label)s:</div><div class="span2">%(value)s</div></div>"""%data
    html += """
    </div>
</div>"""
    return html 

You cannot split the arguments across multiple lines to clean up the mess that is the call to the custom tag. So back to the drawing board.

I compromised with this:

{% specheader "History" %}
{% specdata "Date added to fleet" plane.dateAddedToFleet %}
{% specdata "Total Flight Time" plane.totalFlightTime|asTime %}
{% specdata "Total Number of Flights" plane.totalNumberOfFlights %}
{% specend %} 

The custom tags to implement this are:

@register.simple_tag
def specheader(header):
    return """
<div class="row">
    <div class="span6">
        <div class="row"><div class="span3"><h2>%s:</h2></div></div>"""%header

@register.simple_tag
def specdata(label,value):
    return '<div class="row"><div class="span2">%s:</div><div class="span2">%s</div></div>'%(label, value)

@register.simple_tag
def specend():
    return "</div></div>"

Which is also cleaner than the all-in-one tag.

It’s not for me, but Skylar Savland on github created a Django Template macros with args and kwargs gist that is another solution to this problem.

I’d love to hear ideas that solve this problem in a better way.

Adding it to django-userena sign-in was as simple as:

in userena/views.py:

from ratelimit.decorators import ratelimit, clear
@ratelimit(field='identification',rate="5/m", method="POST", block=True, error_message="You have too many invalid login attempts.  Please try again later")
@secure_required
def signin(request, auth_form=AuthenticationForm,.....
.
.
.
     #after successful login
     clear(request, field='identification') ### clear rate limiting 

Place the following code in /templatetags/my_app_tags.py:

your_app/
    models.py
    templatetags/
        __init__.py
        my_app_tags.py

from django import template
register = template.Library()

from django import template
register = template.Library()

@register.simple_tag(takes_context=True)
def avatar(context, height=None, width=None):
    """ returns html for avatar, optional height/width supplied """
    user = context['user']
    widthAttr = 'width="%s"'%width if width is not None else ""
    heightAttr = 'height="%s"'%height if height is not None else ""
    return """<img %s %s class="avatar" src="%s"" alt="avatar image"  />"""%(heightAttr, widthAttr, user.get_profile().get_mugshot_url())

The following template shows how this could be used

{% load myapp_tags %}

{% avatar %}
{% avatar height=5 %}
{% avatar width=150 %}
{% avatar width=100 height=100 %}

The solution is from peplafi on the google app engine defect list:

It looks that it gives the error when you have installed simplejson in your python
dist and dev_appserver is mixing its own simplejson (which is located in
django\utils) and the python’s sipmlejson. The solution is to go to

The solution is to go to 

"c:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\ext\key_range\__init__.py" 
, line 26

and change:

   import simplejson

 to:

   from django.utils import simplejson

The goal is to run a bash script that backs up a set of directories to a an external hard-drive. This script will run as me from a bash shell.

The destination hard drive is mounted as E: in this example. The bash script contains a series of rysnc commands similar to:

rsync -rltgovR --delete-after /cygdrive/h/music /cygdrive/e

This will mirror h:\music on E:\h\music with recursion.

The catch was getting permissions correct on the external drive. This took two commands run from a cmd.exe shell (bash shell should work if you escape the parameters correctly, but don’t bother for two commands).

E: is rsync destination for mirrors, ‘Kevin’ is the windows user name the script will be running under.

E:
cd \
takeown /f * /r /d y
icacls * /grant Kevin:(F) /T

This did it for me. Hope this helps.

Some other posts mention adding
none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user,noacl 0 0
to /etc/fstab. I tried this both ways and it did not seem to matter. For now it is commented out.
