There's always a better way of doing it

This discussion and related article really made me think: Building a higher-level query API: the right way to use Django's ORM - Blog - DabApps - Brighton, UK

You can always DRY (Don't repeat yourself) more.

Seems especially useful now that more and more web apps also have mobile apps associated with them, so need to expose an API.

or you can just use rails and use render :json

The point is keeping views clean of queries, which can be considered information that can be reused in an application, therefore shouldn't be duplicated. Perfect for bots maybe?

in django, a view is the equivalent of a rails controller yeah? if so, there's been a topic discussed for years in the rails community: the { buckblogs :here }: Skinny Controller, Fat Model

Yes I know, the end of the world has come, sorta. Can't say I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Some cool stuff, some gay stuff. Still stand by most of what I've said in the past.

Django is a god awful piece of shit.

That said, the logic in the article is pretty solid.

I should force my coworkers to use Python. They seem to have problems with improper use of whitespace and bad indenting practices. A bit of Python might sort that out for them...

nice, favorited this article... I've been using Managers a lot, this is definitely a cleaner implementation.
