I'm using the Django Feeds Framework and it's really nice, very intuitive and easy to use. But, I think there is a problem when creating links to feeds in HTML.
For example:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ feed_title }}" href="{{ url_of_feed }}" />
Link's `HREF` attribute can be easily found out, just use `reverse()`
But, what about the `TITLE` attribute? Where the template engine should look for this? Even more, what if the feed is build up dinamically and the title depends on parameters (like [this](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/syndication/#a-complex-example))?
This is the solution I came up with. However, as you can see, there is some caveats:
* Requires Django 1.2 Class Feeds, don't know exactly how to do this with the old way of feeds.
* If the feed class uses the request object, the `request` [context processor](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#django-core-context-processors-request) must be configured, since `None` is passed if it isn't present in the context.
* There's an oddity with Feed.__get_dynamic_attr(). The Feed subclass instance doesn't have this method; instead, it appears with another name. Don't know how to figure the name out at runtime...
I've posted this problem on [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2784659/django-dry-feeds), but didn't get a better answer.

This snippet for django-1.2 allows you to use bitwise operators without using QuerySet.extra()
from django.db.models import *
from somewhere import FQ
class BitWise(Model):
type = CharField(max_length=8)
value = IntegerField()
def __unicode__(self):
return '%s - %d' % (self.type, self.value)
>>> BitWise.objects.create(type='django', value=1)
<BitWise: django - 1>
>>> BitWise.objects.create(type='osso', value=3)
<BitWise: osso - 3>
>>> BitWise.objects.create(type='osso', value=7)
<BitWise: osso - 7>
>>> BitWise.objects.filter(FQ(F('value') & 1, 'gt', 0))
[<BitWise: django - 1>, <BitWise: osso - 3>, <BitWise: osso - 7>]
>>> BitWise.objects.filter(FQ(F('value') & 2, 'gt', 0))
[<BitWise: osso - 3>, <BitWise: osso - 7>]
>>> BitWise.objects.filter(FQ(F('value') & 1, 'gt', 0) & Q(type='django'))
[<BitWise: django - 1>]
