It’s hilarious, if you’ve got a twisted sense of humor, it’s nosql insql, a special bread of nosql with ponies and butterflies.

Seriously, this article about how technology hijacks peoples minds from a magician is pretty cool, check it out !

A presentation by James Pic, founder of YourLabs, was filmed at djangocong 2016 Rennes:

• video (french)
• slides (english)
• docs to reproduce demo
• source code

An interresting series about reverse engineering has been posted by Juan Carlos Jiménez.

django-autocomplete-light v3.1.6 was released, thanks to these fine contributions:

• #671: Create_field support with querysetsequence by @jpic
• #679: Allow create message translation by @maisim
• #682: Extend ‘forward’ attribute to creating objects as well by @toudi
• #666: Improved missing ‘created_field’ error by @guettli
• #670: Javascript loading documentation by @jpic
• #678: Added example to update autocompletes in JS by @jpic

ZNet explains Invisible Programming Language and Invisible Data Theft , the new threat on the internet.

This release enables field-forwarding in formsets and forms with prefix.

Also note that several things have been made to help users: a new tutorial section showing placeholder and minimum-input-length select2 options has been added and a system check will raise an error if select2’s js is not present - typically for users who have git clone’d the repo without --recursive, resulting in a wc without select2.

For devs, we’ve moved from django-sbo-selenium to pytest+splinter and it’s pretty cool !

This release provides commit e612748 which fixes a bug in the TaggitSelect2 to reproduce the bugfix in 15f27871 that was issued in 3.1.2.

django-dbdiff was released. It allows to exclude fields from tests with the new exclude parameter, ie::

        Fixture(
            'tweets/tests/after_create_retweet.json',
            models=[Tweet, Retweets],
        ).assertNoDiff(
            exclude={
                'tweets.tweet': ['datetime'],
                'tweets.retweets': ['datetime'],
            },
        }

This was initially requested by Nicolas Joyard for the Political Memory project.

Note that you shouldn’t use exclude for datetimes like in the above example, but instead use something like freezegun to force datetimes to an arbitrary fixture.
