Re: Creating User Profiles with Image Thumbnails in Django

antani perdue — Mon, 03 May 2010 08:39:42 -0000

I make use of signals to handle thumb/post processing of images:
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
def image_postprocess(sender, instance=None, created=None, *args, **kwargs):
""" Image postprocessing """
...
post_save.connect(image_postprocessing, sender=Image)

It's more reusable than overriding the save() method

get_urls is in both AdminSite and ModelAdmin (see http://docs.djangoproject.c.... And I guess it's not really harder, but it is more code to override get_urls than to add a single line to url patterns.

get_urls is in ModelAdmin, not AdminSite, it is the preferred way to do this and it is not harder:

def get_urls(self):
mypatterns + super(MyAdmin, self).get_urls()

I realize this article was from a year ago, just thought I'd mention I ran into some issues talking SOAP with a C# web service, but they all went away when I started using Suds (https://fedorahosted.org/su....

Re: How to Call a .Net Webservice using Python

Test — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:27:18 -0000

Any Idea how do we pass values to the calling function of a web service in python:
>>> from elementsoap import ElementSOAP as ES
>>> sr = ES.SoapRequest("{http://tempuri.org/}AddNumbers")
>>> serv = ES.SoapService("http://localhost/WebServices/Service.asmx")
>>> result = serv.call("http://tempuri.org/AddNumbers", sr)
>>> result.find("{http://tempuri.org/}AddNumbersResult").text
'0'
>>>
I need to pass values to AddNumbers method, 3 and 4 so that i get the result as 7

Thanks for your help in advance!!

No sorry, I don't. These days I try and avoid coding in C# where possible :)

Hi Beardy,
This article looks great. I am trying to call a python web service in .NET. You have any related articles or source code for the same (as I am short of time).
Thanks for your help in advance!!

Re: Nickel Allergy – Allergic to my own Guitar Strings

tonysayers — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:16:22 -0000

STAY DRY
I have the same problem, just came on in my thirties, never had nickel allergy before. Strangely, my hay fever stopped and nickel allergy began. I've since learned they call this 'allergy transfer'.
So what can you do? Well, firstly, stop playing for a month and let your hands heal.
When you start playing again use stainless steal strings or polymer coated Elixir strings. I tried using stainless steel strings and that significantly reduced the rash, but not entirely. I'm now using Elixir and....so far, so good. You can have your guitar re-fretted (haven't done this yet), but the thing I've not seen or heard mentioned yet is.....STAY DRY.
The nickel is leached out of the strings when they come into contact with your perspiration and then absorbed into your skin.
I've discovered that covering my hands and guitar neck with talcum powder keeps my hands bone dry and since I've been doing this the problem has almost gone.
I'm about to add 'anti-perspirant' and 'barrier cream' into the equation to see if this helps further. Good luck!

Re: Nickel Allergy – Allergic to my own Guitar Strings

Apparently it’s quite common to be allergic to nickel, which is used in most cheap electricguitars strings, and also guitar hardware such as frets. Oh dear.
