- Django PostgreSQL Netfilters
- ============================
- This project is an attempt at making proper Django net related fields for Django
- Currently the built in IPAddressField does not support IPv6 and uses an inefficient
- HOST() cast in all lookups. Hopefully there experience from this project can lead
- to a resolution of these issues upstream.
- In addition to the basic IPAddressField replacement a CIDR and MAC field have
- been added. Furthermore a customer Manager allows for access to all of PostgreSQL's
- INET operators.
- Getting started
- ---------------
- Make sure netfields is in your PYTHONPATH, then simply use the following:
- from netfields import InetAddressField, NetManager
- class Example(models.Model):
- inet = InetAddressField()
- ...
- objects = NetManager()
- The page also provides CidrAddressField and a MACAddressField. NetManger is
- required for the extra lookups to be available. Lookups for INET and CIDR
- database types will be handled differently than when running vanilla Django.
- All lookups are case-insensitive and text based lookups are avoided whenever
- possible. In addition to Django's default lookup types the following have been
- added.
- __net_contained
- __net_contained_or_equal
- __net_contains
- __net_contains_or_equals
- These correspond with the operators from
- http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/functions-net.html
- netfields does not have to be in INSTALLED_APPS.
