Sphene Community Tools

I have gotten this close to a solution, insofar as temporary workarounds are solutions. This slightly rewrites how sphene constructs djano's dispatcher signals, in accordance with the present django trunk. However it results in a further exception I supply below.

I made the change to two files:

I have this problem as well.

I updated my copy of django to the svn trunk revision after reading the installation & tutorial, but the version of django seems to be the problem in this case. If you look at the module which the code is using when the error is thrown (speaking of the present django trunk, again), you'll find that Signal is an object which you'll have to instantiate first, then call "connect" -- it's method. You may need to create three objects, because SCT calls "connect" as though it is a function of the module "dispatcher" three times in sequence. (I don't understand yet whether or not this object needs to stay alive, though my intuition tells me it does.)

In Django 0.96, dispatcher.py is different, in that the SCT code in this case would not cause an exception. This is interesting because the tutorial (or install doc) specifically told me that SCT would not work with django 0.96, as I recall, though this probably owes to more than one reason.

This is a list of files in the SCT trunk which are incompatible with the present django trunk:
