Handling choices the right way

This solves the problem with **choices** described [here](http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2007/nov/02/handle-choices-right-way/) Define your choices like this (in models.py): statuses = MyChoices(BIDDING_STARTED=10, BIDDING_ENDED=20) And then: status = models.IntegerField( default=statuses.BIDDING_STARTED, choices=statuses.get_choices() )

A custom 500 handler which is AJAX-aware

The default 500 handler does not take into consideration if the HTTP request made is an XMLHttpRequest. If it's an XHR, then it may not be a good idea to send back your default 500 HTML page. To use this custom 500 handler, just add the following to your urls.py: handler500 = 'my_project.my_app.views.my_500'
