Template filter for formatting negative numbers

I have a need to conditionally format a negative number, a hedgefund's daily price change, Excel style. i.e. show a negative number as a parenthesized number instead of a negative sign. Here is a filter that will do that and more, solving a more general case. See the doctest for examples.

Widget for DateTime values on Geraldo Reports

This is a widget for date/time fields on **Geraldo Reports**. When you use Geraldo to write reports, date/time fields must be formatted using **get_value** lambda attribute, because ObjectValue doesn't know what mask you want to use. With this widget, you just copy it into a common use Python file, import into your reports file and use it replacing ObjectValue on elements for fields you must be formatted as date/time format. **Example:** from geraldo import Report, ReportBand, ObjectValue, landscape from utils.reports import DateTimeObjectValue class ReportPhoneList(Report): title = u'Phone List' page_size = landscape(A4) class band_detail(ReportBand): height = 0.5*cm elements = [ ObjectValue(attribute_name='id', top=0.1*cm), DateTimeObjectValue(attribute_name='birth_date', left=26.2*cm, top=0.1*cm, format='%m/%d/%Y'), ]

Widget for Money values on Geraldo Reports

This is a widget for decimal/money/currency fields on **Geraldo Reports**. When you use Geraldo to write reports, decimal fields must be formatted using **get_value** lambda attribute, because ObjectValue doesn't know what mask you want to use. With this widget, you just copy it into a common use Python file, import into your reports file and use it replacing ObjectValue on elements for fields you must be formatted as money format. **Example:** from geraldo import Report, ReportBand, ObjectValue from utils.reports import DecimalObjectValue class ReportCustomers(Report): title = u'Customers List' page_size = A4 class band_detail(ReportBand): height = 0.5*cm elements = [ ObjectValue(attribute_name='id', top=0.1*cm), DecimalObjectValue(attribute_name='salary', left=26.2*cm, top=0.1*cm, format='%0.03f'), ]

mini_render_to_response

You need the mini-detector middleware installed [http://www.iterasi.net/openviewer.aspx?sqrlitid=-e2dfig9w0yrclxaigp-uw](http://www.iterasi.net/openviewer.aspx?sqrlitid=-e2dfig9w0yrclxaigp-uw). This is a drop in replacement to render_to_response. When using mini_render_to_response it will try to load a version of your template with &#157;mini at the end. For example "home_mini.html" instead of "home.html". If it doesn't find the _mini version it falls back to the regular "home.html" version of your template. Easy way to maintain a "small screen" version of your templates for iPhone or other small screen devices.

Tuned IPAddressField with IPv4 & IPv6 support using Postgres Network Field type

I wanted to store ipv4 and ipv6 ip's in django but I wanted to use the postgresql inet network field type: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/datatype-net-types.html and I wanted to use IPy.py IP objects in python. I followed these very helpful examples along with the django documentation: http://vaig.be/2009/03/numeric-ip-field-for-django.html http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1381/ It took me awhile to figure out how this works (not that I completely understand it now..) and figured I would share it. If anyone finds problems with this or can make it better I will definitely use it.

"Zoom in" on rendered HTML that the test client returns

If you have this as your base class for all unit tests you can do the following: class TestViews(BaseTestCase): def test_generated_stats(self): "test that certain stuff in the response" ...create some content for testing or use fixtures... response = self.client.get('/some/page/') # At this point response.content is a huge string filled with HTML tags and # "junk" that you don't need for testing the content thus making it difficult # to debug the generated HTML because it so huge. # So we can zoom in on the <div id="stats>...</div> node html = self._zoom_html(response.content, '#stats') # the variable 'html' will now be something like this: """ <div id="stats"> <p> <strong>2</strong> students<br/> <em>1</em> warning. </p> </div> """ # This makes it easier to debug the response and easier to test # against but the HTML might still be in the way so this would fail: self.assertTrue('2 students' in html) # will fail # To strip away all html use _strip_html() content = self._strip_html(html) # Now this will work self.assertTrue('2 students' in content) # will work It works for me and I find this very useful so I thought I'd share it.

dumpdata/loaddata with MySQL and ForeignKeys, as django command

Based on [http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/662/](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/662/) and updated to be runnable as custom django management command. Also added option support for --exclude=someapp --exclude=otherapp.SomeModel From original description: InnoDB tables within MySQL have no ability to defer reference checking until after a transaction is complete. This prevents most dumpdata/loaddata cycles unless the dump order falls so that referenced models are dumped before models that depend on them. Caveats 1. You use this snippet to dump the data and the built in manage.py loaddata to load the fixture output by this program. A similar solution could be applied to the XML processing on the loaddata side but this sufficed for my situations. 2. This code does not handle Circular or self-references. The loaddata for those needs to be much smarter

outliner template tag

Let's say you have a dataset and you want to render a page with sections/subsections/subsubsections down to some arbitrary depth and with arbitrary keys. For example, you might want to show cars broken out by year/price_range or price_range/year or price_range/manufacturer/model. The outliner template tag allows you to support multiple breakdowns of your data in a DRY sort of way. In order to use it, you supply four things: 1. a template for surrounding each subsection (think turtles all the way down) 2. a queryset (really anything iterable) 3. sectionizer dictionary/objects (see sample code, you must supply key_method) 4. inner html to render the lowest subsections The template provides the following: 1. It recursively uses each of your sectionizers' key methods to divvy up data sets. 2. It surrounds each section with templates of your choosing. 3. It renders the inner template for all the "leaf" elements of your tree. 4. It supplies some handy context vars for things like depth and outline ids. What this is not: 1. this is not for arbitrary tree data--think of the tree as fixed depth 2. this is not as simple as the regroup tag--if you have a concrete organization to your data, you should keep it simple and hand-code your templates

Query printer coroutine

If you would like to see the latest queries you have done when running a unittest, this is not so easy. You have to initialize the queries list and set DEBUG to True manually. Then you have to figure out a way to print the queries you want to see just now and format them. I.e., monitoring queries when doing TDD is a bit of a hassle, and this should help. This little helper does all this for you; your UnitTest only needs to import django.db.connection and store the current length (offset) of the queries list. Then, using Python's coroutine functionality, all you have to do is send that offset to the QueryPrinter coroutine (which you can, for example, initialize as a global variable or a class variable of your UnitTest) and you get the latest SQL printed as a simple table.

ImageMagick commands from Django Templates

A template filter which wraps imagemagick's `convert` command. The filter acts upon a source image path, and returns the filtered image path. usage: {{ source_path|convert:"-resize 64x64\!" }} The filter parameter is the processing arguments for an ImageMagick 'convert' command. See e.g. http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/resize/ Every image created is saved in a cache folder. This code does not handle removing obsolete cached images. If the filtered image path exists already, no image processing is carried out, and the path is returned.

convenience parent class for UserProfile model

This is just a reusable convenience parent class to allow you to create and administer an automatic user profile class using the following code: class UserProfile(UserProfileModel): likes_kittens = models.BooleanField(default=True) Whenever a `User` object is created, a corresponding `UserProfile` will also be created. That's it. NB: You will still need to set `AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE` in your settings :-) (PS: It would also be nice to have the resulting class proxy the `User` object's attributes like django's model inheritance does, while still automatically creating a `UserProfile` object when a `User` object is created :-)

Language aware cache decorator

Caches a view based on the users language code, a cache_key and optional function arguments. The cache_key can be a string, a callable or None. If it's None, the the name of the decorated function is used. You can pass a tuple `func_args` of arguments. If passed, these arguments are part of the cache key. See examples for details.
