1:20 PM <collinanderson> i had one really, really crazy idea that i almost posted on the thread back in the day. why no just have a _meta.fields that _is_ an OrderedDict of _all_ (non related object?) fields. it would be name -> field_instance
1:21 PM <collinanderson> that way you don't even need .get_field() (singular). you just say _meta.fields['field_name']
1:21 PM <collinanderson> though you would likely do a lot of iterating over _meta.fields.values()
1:22 PM <collinanderson> that way it would preserve the order

Fix locale problem

Run the following command

$ update-locale LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

If it failed, you will need to add the following to /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local file

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
