Comments
  • get_query_set patching is very broken

    get_query_set patching is very broken

    The method included to patch get_query_set is very broken, and leads to some very bug code in circumstances where managers get subclassed - the behaviour of the subclass can be skipped. This is a very serious error for the case of Related managers, because it means that the limiting of the queryset that is added by the subclass get_query_set method gets skipped, so the related manager queries apply to all objects.

    I've created a branch that demonstrates the problem, adding 4 tests, 2 of which fails with Django 1.8, one fails with Django 1.5:

    https://github.com/spookylukey/django-compat/tree/get_query_set_patch_bug

    I've created a PR so that you can see the tests failing.

    The full details are explained in this blog post:

  • Stop use django-nose as it doesn't support Django<1.8

    Stop use django-nose as it doesn't support Django<1.8

    I think use django-nose is a bad idea because it doesn't support Django<1.8. So we cannot test this version with the ./runtests.py.

    We should use Django test runner like made here: https://github.com/django-dbbackup/django-dbbackup/blob/master/runtests.py It also allow to launch any commands like manage.py.

  • WIP django monkey-patcher

    WIP django monkey-patcher

    Hello,

    i'm planning a sprint at pyconfr to build a django compatibility module, which wouldn't behave like an intermediate module (like six for py3k, or like django-compat for django), but directly monkey-patch django with log-lifespan shims.

    Thus, django webmaster who want to upgrade wouldn't have to fork/monkeypatch all their broken dependencies, and minor django upgrades would REALLY be minor (i.e would NOT rename/remove methods and attributes used by tons of unmaintained libs).

    Would you be OK with integrating this monkey-patching utility to django-compat, to have an all-in-one solution, for BOTH library maintainers and library users ?

  • Support for Django 1.11 LTS

    Support for Django 1.11 LTS

    Django 1.11 LTS will be the last Django version to support Python 2. The next major release, Django 2.0, will only support Python 3.5+. So Django 1.11.x will probably be the last supported version for LTS-to-LTS support of django-compat (1.8-1.11). See Django's release notes for more.

  • URLs include for Django 2.0

    URLs include for Django 2.0

    The next version of Django is changing quite radically the way URLs are being included, by requiring an app name to be provided. One way to do it (and sometimes the only one) is to change the first parameter to a tuple.

    It would be great if there could be a version of include in django-compat. It looks like the new syntax is available from 1.9, and the old syntax is no longer working from 2.0.

    Would that be an acceptable change? I could try to put together a PR if so.
