Removed empty_iter dependency

[hassa]

Django 1.5 does not have the compiler. empty_iter function, they directly use

iter([])

instead. This commit covers that.

[ebrelsford]

1.5 support would be nice. @jmoiron and @hassa, let me know if there is some way I can help make it happen.

[hassa]

@ebrelsford, last time we tried running johnny with 1.5 the commit above worked, not sure about now though since we stopped using it a while ago.

[ebrelsford]

Thanks, @hassa, I'm running it against Django 1.5 without any problems.

Would be really awesome to have this merged in. Since 1.5 is now the current version, I think getting a release out with this patch is pretty crucial, or else johnny-cache won't work on any new apps.

[borgstrom]

We just ran into this in a project we're in development on.

+1 on getting this merged ASAP.

[markekramer]

I have validated this patch and deployed. Solves the problem. The empty_iter exception is easily recreated when using pagination and an empty set is returned. Again, this patch fixes that issue.

[dlo]

I have also validated this patch and used it in production.

[natethelen]

Me too!

[borgstrom]

@jmoiron can you please merge this? Django 1.5 has been out for nearly 2 months now and using a manually patched version of johnny cache for each build we're working on is a PITA.

[jself]

Thanks all, it's merged, but we preserved 1.4 support as well with compiler.empty_iter. Pypi will be updated after we clear the other tickets.

[borgstrom]

@finder any update on a pypi release? Anything I can do to help it along?

[jmoiron]

I really wanted to implement the deprecation policy before a new push. The 1.1 removal has been done by @finder, but there are a few outstanding critical bugs before a release. However, 1.5.1 is nearly out, and you're right it's past time to release some of these improvements. I haven't been able to find time to work on the release but I'll try to get around to it this week.

@jmoiron what needs to be released? I can help!

[Wilfred]

@jmoiron @finder which tickets need to be fixed before release? There are even Django 1.6 issues in the tracker now.

[vchakoshy]

i disabled johnny cache in django 1.5,

[famoraes]

👍 Would be great if the Pypi was updated.

[davesque]

Yes, please update Pypi.

[ckcollab]

@jmoiron Any expected Pypi release? If you need help please let us know!

[ivorbosloper]

Would be great if Pypi was updated! 1.5 is not that new any more...
