Hard fork at django-ltree-2

[baseplate-admin]

Hi,

I don't think this repository is in development anymore, I have a fork at django-ltree-2 which addresses :

• Possible bug at this line where str should be value in "/" if "/" in str else "." #16
• ♻️ REFACTOR check_database_backend_is_postgres #15
• Admin panel doesnot work with paths that start with an integer #20

Along with some new features available in python :

• Use string instead of writing alphabets manually baseplate-admin/django-ltree-2#3 [ Check in value instead of str #26 ]
• Use modern imports baseplate-admin/django-ltree-2#4 [ Modernize imports #24 ]
• Remove next property from paths.py baseplate-admin/django-ltree-2#11 [ Fix regex to accept integer #27 ]

Along with automatic label generation

• Work on label generation baseplate-admin/django-ltree-2#6

Along with documentation

• https;//django-ltree-2.readthedocs.io

The test suits are identical. The project is a drop in replacement for django-ltree.

I am open to collaborations, if django-ltree is open to development, I will archive the fork.

Thanks a bunch

Thank you, @baseplate-admin! I really appreciate your stepping in for the existing users

[baseplate-admin]

Heey, thanks for reaching out, if this package is maintained, i dont see the reason to continue development of django-ltree-2, ( if you wish, i can archive django-ltree-2 )

Judging by

• Fix Outdated Approach and package not working. Plans for 0.6 and 0.7 version #22

If you need any help ( or want to merge some changes back ) i would be very glad to help you.

Thanks and welcome back :D

Thanks, @baseplate-admin! I'm happy with that. I'm currently fixing local things for the project, but I can merge your fork, and we can continue together.

To bless this, you can create a "Merge django-ltree-2" ticket, and we can work together there in a branch for the merge.

Sounds very very good proposal :)

I would be very willing to merge our project.

Do you have anything that you dont like?
These are 3 extra features i added:

• Use string instead of writing alphabets manually baseplate-admin/django-ltree-2#3
• Use modern imports baseplate-admin/django-ltree-2#4
• Remove next property from paths.py baseplate-admin/django-ltree-2#11

[mariocesar]

The three are great !

Hi, I have submitted PR for all the improvements that i had.

Also i have a new proposal to get path value:

• Work on label generation baseplate-admin/django-ltree-2#6

But i am afraid this is a breaking change, it will require the release of a new version.

_{on a side note, i think you should add some more maintainers to this repository, so that if you need some time off, they can take some of the burden off you}

[mariocesar]

Thanks for all your work! All look awesome.

Yes Label generations needs more work, I understand what you want to do.

One thing that I want to do is try to create a path to migrate from django-treebeard with their paths 0001.0002.0003 pattern, and I know it will need some refactor on the label to do so

Hi,

I'm looking for a django lib to use the ltree extension and I don't which one to choose between this one and django-ltree-2. Is it still a work in progress to merge both in the current project or are you diverging and the idea to have only one lib is no more something you are working on ?

Thanks

[mariocesar]

The ltree main is now merged with the latest from django-ltree-2. You can use it with a development install via pip. Currently, there is no new release for the merged project, as some tests and packaging work are still in progress.

[lunika]

Thank you.

So the new requirements of the ltree's main branch follow the one from ltree-2 ?

• Python 3.9 to 3.13 supported.
• PyPy 3.9 to 3.10 supported.
• Django 4.2 to 5.1 supported.
• Postgres 13 to 17 supported.

[mariocesar]

Yes, that is right

[baseplate-admin]

Hi, sorry for late response.

Python 3.9 to 3.13 supported.
PyPy 3.9 to 3.10 supported.
Django 4.2 to 5.1 supported.
Postgres 13 to 17 supported.

I recon it would work for other (older) versions too. These versions are actively tested in github-actions

Is it still a work in progress to merge both in the current project or are you diverging and the idea to have only one lib is no more something you are working on ?

Yep, most of the changes are merged in mainline django-ltree, the only change is that, django-ltree-2 does automatic label generation. That means if you use django-ltree-2 and then switch back to django-ltree, you might have to tweak the LABEL_SIZE in django-ltree

• Work on label generation baseplate-admin/django-ltree-2#6

Thank you for your interest.
