The Signature API (PEP 362) has better support for decorated functions
(by default, it follows the __wrapped__ attribute set by
functools.wraps for example).
This makes it equivalent to: `from django.contrib.auth.models import User`.
Thanks Aymeric Augustin for the initial patch and Tim Graham for the
review.
This allows using a UUIDField primary key along with the JSON session
serializer.
Thanks to Trac alias jamesbeith for the report and Simon Charette
for the initial patch.
This is the result of Christopher Medrela's 2013 Summer of Code project.
Thanks also to Preston Holmes, Tim Graham, Anssi Kääriäinen, Florian
Apolloner, and Alex Gaynor for review notes along the way.
Also: Fixes#8579, fixes#3055, fixes#19844.
Returning None on errors required unpythonic error checking and was
inconsistent with get_app_config.
get_model was a private API until the previous commit, but given that it
was certainly used in third party software, the change is explained in
the release notes.
Applied the same change to get_registered_model, which is a new private
API introduced during the recent refactoring.
Since the original ones in django.db.models.loading were kept only for
backwards compatibility, there's no need to recreate them. However, many
internals of Django still relied on them.
They were also imported in django.db.models. They never appear in the
documentation, except a quick mention of get_models and get_app in the
1.2 release notes to document an edge case in GIS. I don't think that
makes them a public API.
This commit doesn't change the overall amount of global state but
clarifies that it's tied to the app_cache object instead of hiding it
behind half a dozen functions.
Current language is no longer saved to session by LocaleMiddleware
on every response (the behavior introduced in #14825).
Instead language stored in session is reintroduced into new session
after logout.
Forward port of c558a43fd6 to master.
The current auth backend code catches TypeError to detect backends that
do not support specified argumetnts. As a result, any TypeErrors raised
within the actual backend code are silenced.
In Python 2.7+ and 3.2+ this can be avoided by using inspect.getcallargs().
With this method, we can test whether arguments match the signature without
actually calling the function.
Thanks David Eyk for the report.
Those methods were only used by `contrib.admin` internally and exclusively
related to `contrib.auth`. Since they were undocumented but used
in the wild the raised deprecation warning point to an also undocumented
alternative that lives in `contrib.auth`.
Also did some PEP8 and other cleanups in the affected modules.
Removing a backend configured in AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS should not
raise an exception for existing sessions, but should make already
logged-in users disconnect.
Thanks Bradley Ayers for the report.
