no way to use tag names with commas in TagField

[carljm]

Which sucks if you happen to have a dataset where tag names are predefined, and some of them must include commas.

django-tagging has a very effective little tag-string parser that handles space-separated tags in the simple case, comma-separated if unquoted commas are found, and allows quoting of tag names that include commas.

Is taggit's "stupid" tagstring parsing a fixed design decision? If not, I'll port tagging's parser, with tests. If so, I'll do it anyway, but keep it in a private branch :-)

Not a design decision :) Patch ahoy!

[carljm]

Awesome. Coming right up. Note that the patch will be slightly backwards-incompatible, in that currently tags must be comma-separated, but with django-tagging's approach if there are no unquoted commas, tags are space-separated. Which means that currently entering "one two three" creates a single tag; with the patch it'll be three tags.

Personally I think this is a big improvement, but it should be noted somewhere as a change in behavior.

[alex]

Sounds reasonable to me, can you start a changes.html file and note the change there?

[carljm]

Will do.

[alex]

Fixed in HEAD, thanks carljm!

[carljm]

Erm. I didn't do this yet. Planning to soon, but haven't gotten to it. And it doesn't appear you did it either?

[alex]

Ah shit wrong ticket, I can't reopen this either :/ Can you refile?

[carljm]

GitHub's issue tracker is terrible. And yes, I'll refile :-)

Hi, Alex,
Why refile? 'Open' option under 'Actions' dropdown (just below '« Back to Issues' link) doesn't work?

[alex]

Ok this was fixed!
