From 8f5236fa359d91acbd67993b76b83ce0cff158f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell Keith-Magee Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2010 12:01:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [1.2.X] Fixed #13747 -- Reverted documentation suggesting the use of self.stdout/err in management commands in 1.2. Thanks to metamemetics for the report. Strictly, self.stdout/err is a feature addition; however, it's a feature that is required in order to achieve a massive speedup in the tests and to maintain parity between 1.2.X and trunk tests. However, the feature is completely transparent -- the old technique will work fine, it just isn't as testable. Therefore, we'll treat this as an undocumented feature in the 1.2 branch. git-svn-id: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/branches/releases/1.2.X@13364 bcc190cf-cafb-0310-a4f2-bffc1f526a37 --- docs/howto/custom-management-commands.txt | 9 +-------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/howto/custom-management-commands.txt b/docs/howto/custom-management-commands.txt index 3f5feaa67a..3e7af8a8de 100644 --- a/docs/howto/custom-management-commands.txt +++ b/docs/howto/custom-management-commands.txt @@ -62,14 +62,7 @@ look like this: poll.opened = False poll.save() - self.stdout.write('Successfully closed poll "%s"\n' % poll_id) - -.. note:: - When you are using management commands and wish to provide console - output, you should write to ``self.stdout`` and ``self.stderr``, - instead of printing to ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` directly.
