mod_python versus mod_wsgi
January 6, 2009 at 7:09 pm | In General | 8 CommentsSo at work recently, we started looking at switching our django setups from mod_python to mod_wsgi, as we kept having memory and cpu use issues with mod_python, and mod_wsgi was supposed to be far better with performance.
Well, it’s only been a day so far, but the results have been very promising. Our memory usage was cut in half, and load bottomed out.
Edit: this is daemon mode with threads=1
Initial testing showed more drastic improvements, so for anyone else testing, take initial results with a grain of salt
With that said, here are the actual results:

Spam bots suck
March 23, 2008 at 11:09 pm | In General | Leave a CommentToday my blog was hacked, erasing the most recent post in favor of spam links. Thankfully, I was able to recover it from Google’s cache, but I’m tired of all the issues maintaining my own blog.
As a result, I’ve decided to move my blog here, so that I don’t have to deal with the hassle anymore.
Editing multiple objects in Django with forms
February 18, 2008 at 1:45 pm | In django | 6 CommentsA common problem I see when helping people in the Django IRC channel is people who are trying to create or edit multiple objects, but for some reason try to make a single form object to deal with them – this makes things quite convoluted and much harder than they have to be. My goal here is to explain a much simpler method using multiple form objects.
