django_utils.choices module

Usage

Create a Choices class and add Choice objects to the class to define your choices.

Example with explicit values:

The normal Django version:

class Human(models.Model):
    GENDER = (
        ('m', 'Male'),
        ('f', 'Female'),
        ('o', 'Other'),
    )
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDER)

The Django Utils Choices version:

from django_utils import choices

class Human(models.Model):
    class Gender(choices.Choices):
        Male = choices.Choice('m')
        Female = choices.Choice('f')
        Other = choices.Choice('o')

    gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=Gender)

To reference these properties:

Human.create(gender=Human.Gender.Male)

Example with implicit values:

The normal Django version:

class SomeModel(models.Model):
    SOME_ENUM = (
        (1, 'foo'),
        (2, 'bar'),
        (3, 'spam'),
        (4, 'eggs'),
    )
    enum = models.IntegerField(choices=SOME_ENUM, default=1)

The Django Utils Choices version:

from django_utils import choices

class SomeModel(models.Model):
    class Enum(choices.Choices):
        Foo = choices.Choice()
        Bar = choices.Choice()
        Spam = choices.Choice()
        Eggs = choices.Choice()

    enum = models.IntegerField(
        choices=Enum, default=Enum.Foo)

To reference these properties:

SomeModel.create(enum=SomeModel.Enum.Spam)
class django_utils.choices.Choice(value=None, label=None)[source]

Bases: object

The choice object has an optional label and value. If the value is not given an autoincrementing id (starting from 1) will be used

>>> choice = Choice('value', 'label')
>>> choice
<Choice[1]:label>
>>> str(choice)
'label'
>>> choice = Choice()
>>> choice
<Choice[2]:None>
>>> str(choice)
'None'
deconstruct()[source]
order = 0
class django_utils.choices.Choices[source]

Bases: object

The choices class is what you should inherit in your Django models

>>> choices = Choices()
>>> choices.choices[0]
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
KeyError: 'Key 0 does not exist'
>>> choices.choices
OrderedDict()
>>> str(choices.choices)
'OrderedDict()'
>>> choices.choices.items()
[]
>>> choices.choices.keys()
[]
>>> choices.choices.values()
[]
>>> list(choices)
[]
>>> class ChoiceTest(Choices):
...     a = Choice()
>>> choices = ChoiceTest()
>>> choices.choices.items()
[(0, <Choice[...]:a>)]
>>> choices.a
0
>>> choices.choices['a']
<Choice[...]:a>
>>> choices.choices[0]
<Choice[...]:a>
>>> choices.choices.keys()
[0]
>>> choices.choices.values()
['a']
>>> list(choices)
[(0, <Choice[...]:a>)]
>>> list(ChoiceTest)
[(0, <Choice[...]:a>)]
choices = OrderedDict()
class django_utils.choices.ChoicesDict[source]

Bases: object

The choices dict is an object that stores a sorted representation of the values by key and database value

items()[source]
keys()[source]
values()[source]
class django_utils.choices.ChoicesMeta[source]

Bases: type

The choices metaclass is where all the magic happens, this automatically creates a ChoicesDict to get a sorted list of keys and values

class django_utils.choices.LiteralChoices[source]

Bases: django_utils.choices.Choices

Special version of the Choices class that uses the label as the value

>>> class Role(LiteralChoices):
...     admin = Choice()
...     user = Choice()
...     guest = Choice()
>>> Role.choices.values()
['admin', 'user', 'guest']
>>> Role.choices.keys()
['admin', 'user', 'guest']
>>> class RoleWithImplicitChoice(LiteralChoices):
...     ADMIN = 'admin'
...     USER = 'user'
...     GUEST = 'guest'
>>> Role.choices.values()
['admin', 'user', 'guest']
>>> Role.choices.keys()
['admin', 'user', 'guest']
>>> Role.admin
'admin'
choices = OrderedDict()

django_utils.fields module

class django_utils.fields.RecursiveField(field_name=None, parent_field='parent', default=None)[source]

Bases: object

PREFIX = 'get_'
contribute_to_class(cls, name)[source]
get(instance)[source]

django_utils.queryset module

django_utils.queryset.queryset_iterator(queryset, chunksize=1000, getfunc=<built-in function getattr>)[source]

‘’ Iterate over a Django Queryset ordered by the primary key

This method loads a maximum of chunksize (default: 1000) rows in it’s memory at the same time while django normally would load all rows in it’s memory. Using the iterator() method only causes it to not preload all the classes.

Note that the implementation of the iterator does not support ordered query sets.

django_utils.utils module

django_utils.utils.to_json(request, data)[source]

django_utils.view_decorators module

exception django_utils.view_decorators.UnknownViewResponseError[source]

Bases: django_utils.view_decorators.ViewError

exception django_utils.view_decorators.ViewError[source]

Bases: exceptions.Exception

django_utils.view_decorators.env(function=None, login_required=False, response_class=<class 'django.http.response.HttpResponse'>)[source]

View decorator that automatically adds context and renders response

Keyword arguments: login_required – is everyone allowed or only authenticated users

Adds a RequestContext (request.context) with the following context items: name – current function name

Stores the template in request.template and assumes it to be in <app>/<view>.html
