Not working with Python 3.X

[laurentpayot]

I'm using Python 3.3 with latest django-trunk, mongoengine and pymongo versions from github.

I had some "ImportError: cannot import name smart_unicode", same for force_unicode.
I just commented the import line of these two functions and replaced them by functions doing nothing.

I'm trying to make it work using a simple CreateView:

forms.py

class FeedbackForm(DocumentForm):
class Meta:
model = Feedback
fields = ['name', 'email', 'subject', 'message']

views.py

class FeedbackCreate(CreateView):
model = Feedback
form_class = FeedbackForm

model.py

class Feedback(Document):
name = StringField(max_length=120)
email = EmailField()
subject = StringField(max_length=120)
message = StringField(max_length=1000, required=True)
meta = {'allow_inheritance': False, 'indexes': ['id']}

But all I get is:

Internal Server Error: /fr/contact/

This doesn't really look like it's python 3 but more a general thing.

The traceback looks more like the Meta object of the form doesn't handle the alias from document to model correctly. If I remember this correctly I tried to use document instead of model internally because we are dealing with documents and not models :) I also think that the use model in the Meta part of the form should be okay, but apparently it's not.

So could you try to change every occurrence of model to document and try again?

[jschrewe]

Looking closer at this model is the wrong keyword in the meta section. It has to be document = <whatever>. This is at the moment by design. Thinking about it, it might be a good idea to accept both the Django and Mongoengine terminology however.

Thanks a lot it's working now, I just opened #27 for a simple import bug.
