mongoengine

I am trying to use MongoEngine in a django project I am writing. I am having difficulty getting (or understanding how) the authentication backend works. The user object as far as I can tell is not stored in the request. I have it working but I am not sure if I am doing it in the right/safe way. If someone could look at my code I would be much appreciated. def login(request): user = authenticate(request.POST['username'],request.POST['password']) if user is not None: request.session['user'] = user if user.is_authenticated: return HttpResponse(user) else: return HttpResponse('login failed') def

I use mongoengine with Django and python. This is my code: class Chambre(EmbeddedDocument): max_personne = IntField(default=0) prix = IntField(default=0) class Hotel(Document): code = IntField(default=0) nom = StringField(max_length=200) chambre = ListField(EmbeddedDocumentField(Chambre)) resume = StringField(max_length=200) 1 - I want a query to filter all Hotel that have at least a Chambre with prix >= a (a floeat number) 2 - also have that Chambre Any idea?

EmbeddedDocument will allow to store a document inside another document, while RefereneField just stores it's reference. But, they're achieving a similar goal. Do they have specific use cases? PS: There's already a question on SO, but no good answers. The answer to this really depends on what intend to do with the data you are storing in mongodb. It is important to remember that a ReferenceField will point to a document in another collection in mongodb, whereas an EmbeddedDocument is stored in the same document in the same collection. Consider this schema: Person -> name -> address Address ->

I am trying to start a new thread in Python inside of a Flask application. I am doing background work that gets triggered by the request, but I don't need to wait for the work to be done to respond to the request. Is it possible to set the flask request in this sub-threat to the request that came in? Reason being, our ACL on our queries to our DB (mongoengine in front of mongoDB) relies on the request's user (it grabs it from flask's request object) to see if they have access to the objects, and its blowing up because the request is not available in the sub-thread. Any thoughts would be much
