This week I was out (very) sick for a few days. I’m now feeling better!

Triaged

• #35179 (Admindocs does not recognize methods containing positional-only arguments or keyword-only arguments as such) – Django - Admindocs does not recognize methods containing positional-only arguments or keyword-only arguments as such (accepted)
• https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/35178 - Override FORM_RENDERER for admin site (invalid)

Reviewed

• https://github.com/django/django/pull/17357 - Fixed #10743 – Allowed lookups for related fields in ModelAdmin.list_display.
  • Congratulations to @knyghty and @nmenezes on successfully addressing a 15-year-old ticket, now merged into Django 5.1! This is one of the oldest tickets I’ve had the opportunity to review thus far.
  • This one turned out to be more challenging than expected. Initially, there was some (anticipated) documentation polishing, but I got a bit sidetracked by the checks tests disparity (there are tests for ModelAdmin checks in two files).
  • Additionally, I faced some Selenium test failures after a refactor I pushed, due to different admin column ordering depending on the database backend. The Selenium tests on Postgresql were failing, and upon attempting to reproduce locally, I realized that my local PostgreSQL was broken due to a PG 15 → PG 16 upgrade that never completed. It was quite an interesting experience! [Mental note: do not, I repeat, do not choose Manjaro as your rebound distro. ]

Intense week! I tried to push forward as many PRs as I could, mainly because next week (week 9) I’ll be “OoO” (Out of the Office).

We’re trying to make the best of the situation by organizing a family trip!
