If you want to adopt the new recommended syntax but don’t want to add {% load url from future %} to every single template you have, you can simply add the following to your settings.py file:
import django.template
django.template.add_to_builtins('django.templatetags.future')
Now if you just change your {% url %} tags to the new syntax (see here), everything will work fine and will be compatible with Django 1.5 when it is released.
Prof. Dominic Lemelin is about to try to prove that 7n + 2 is a multiple of three for all n in math class at the moment, and before I tried proving it myself I decided to do a few tests in Python to make sure I wasn’t wasting my time. It was doing pretty well until it 7365 + 2 caused it to overflow, but there was some weird stuff going on in the float arithmetic. I don’t know why I was using float arithmetic, maybe it’s still too early to be programming.
>>> x = 11398895185373145
>>> x/3
3799631728457715
>>> float(x)/3
3799631728457714.5
>>> wtf()
Update: By the way, x/3 actually gives the right answer, 3799631728457715. This is a key piece of information in recognizing that I’m not just an idiot who forgot that integer division rounds in Python.
