Yay! My DjangoCon US talk is up.

@EvilDMP's awesome question (from 23.34) ties right into my thoughts for Django Core from last month's Stack Report.

How do we push Django forward long-term? This is the challenge we have to solve.

Nice tip from Tom Carrick

Haha! Found it! I’m ready. #djangocon

OK, @CodenameTim had a super idea: We’re going to do a package maintainers open space @djangocon. If you’re a maintainer in the @django ecosystem (or you want to be) and you’ll be there, look out for that. We can share our woes, and joys of course, and plans, and hopes. 🤗 #Django #djangocon #DjangoconUS

> If we looked ahead at the final state of this project back when we took the very first steps, it might have seemed unnecessarily complex if you were new to web development. But we had good reasons to create each new bit of complexity as the project evolved.

@ehmatthes' series on Django from first principles is super. #Django

@brettcannon on the speed question, particularly for pip I guess, do you know of a thread anywhere discussing the lessons that can be learnt from uv and applied back? (It being Rust isn’t going to be even most of it I’d guess…, rather it being new, and unhindered.)

I can’t seem to find it, maybe @daringfireball could: there was an old Steve Jobs interview where he made a point about companies reaching a moment where they stop caring about users and just go for profits. That keeps coming to mind with this (continual) grubby behaviour from Apple.

@buttondown now I just need some kind of rotating gallery version 🥳

Adding Official™ support for the upcoming Django 5.1, and a couple of extra niceties, django-filter 24.3 is now available on PyPI:

$ pip install -U django-filter

https://pypi.org/project/django-filter/ #Django

Enjoy! 🦄

We don't often get too many new features on django-filter. (That's a good thing BTW! 😅)

But this time there's a new option for handling unknown field types — for when you use __all__ to specify the fields, and there's one of the few django-filter doesn't know about…

This has always errored, but you can now have it warn, or ignore if you're one of those YOLO types.

Thanks to Loes for this, who raised the idea at the #DjangoConEurope sprints.

Go check it out.

Hey @buttondown — I have a nice comment here. 😊 Is there any way of embedding this kind of thing in the signup page? 🤔 Thanks. 🙏

In case it’s relevant to you, the Discourse forum software has both Mute and (the even better) Ignore options for users. You click on their profile, and there’s a little bell icon 🔔. You can pick your option. May be handy.

“Can you teach me to program Dad?”
“No, but Uncle @ehmatthes can!”

Just arrived. I’ll help 😜

@buttondown Although I remember the UI be React mightn't it... 😬
