The week that was 2023 WK18 A quiet week on the surface, but lots going on underneath. We had medical appointments with my son Wednesday and Thursday. Posted a TIL on CSRF and Trusted Origins in Django 4.x+, after deploying a new project and hitting this issue again. Joined in a few discussions on the Forum, and one on Trac even. (I’m still trying to avoid the latter for now.) Bumped Neapolitan to 23.10, with minor tweaks to the object_confirm_delete.html template. That’s it for now. Mor…

The week that was 2023 WK17 My son’s illness continues. He’s no better, really, and it looks like there’s not much that doctors are able to offer him. We spent large parts of this week touring various hospitals for appointments with various specialists, all of which resulted in nothing very concrete. More again next week. I doubt there’s much market for a Medical Facilities of Catalonia guidebook. Updating django-filter… I updated django-filter to v23.2. This deprecates the inbuilt methods …

The README example is the core of it… I have a Django model: from django.db import models class Bookmark(models.Model): url = models.URL…

The Django 5.x Steering Council Candidate Registration is now open. The official announcement is here In contrast to previous runs, more or less, if you’re an active member of the Django community then you’re qualified to stand. There have been two such elections since the governance was changed in DEP 10. In both of those we had candidate pools of entirely white men.
