Jordi liked this

"Django documentation (for 1.0). The documentation refactor is in: the docs for the upcoming 1.0 release have been tidied up, rearranged and ported to a new documentation system based on Sphinx. The URL has also changed to docs.djangoproject.com." - Clint Ecker via Bookmarklet

It is really great to see django using sphinx for building their documentation now. - Peter Hoffmann

Jordi, Eric Florenzano and Benjamin Golub liked this

"Well today, that vaporware solidified into something real. The new version is documented, combines the old Comment and FreeComment models, and makes use of all the modern Django APIs that didn't exist when the first version was written. It looks quite nice." - Clint Ecker via Bookmarklet

"A generic ratings module. The field itself appends two additional fields on the model, for optimization reasons. It adds <field>_score, and <field>_votes fields, which are both integer fields." - Clint Ecker via Bookmarklet

Optimizing A Django VPS Setup

August 24 at 3:32 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Thomas Brox Røst, Stanton Teters and Jon Parise liked this

"As I started moving forward with a plan to host Satchmo on my own, I began experimenting with hosting solutions. I already had a traditional hosting service and was able to get Satchmo running as a fast cgi. It worked reasonably well, but the control was less than optimal. For some reason, I never could figure out how to effectively start and stop my django processes. I also decided that I wanted to host my own Trac and Subversion instance so that I could have a similar level of integration as the Django site. For all these reasons, I decided I need more flexibility so started looking at VPS and VPS-like solutions." - Clint Ecker via Bookmarklet

Logging In With Email Addresses in Django | David Cramer's Blog

August 23 at 12:54 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Eric Florenzano liked this

"One of the tasks that seems to come up every single project we do, is changing the auth backend to accept email addresses. Since it’s such a common task for us, it can’t be that rare to want this functionality. So, here’s a quick and simply backend which accomplishes this, using the built-in django.contrib.auth module" - Clint Ecker via Bookmarklet

Persistent Django on Amazon EC2 and EBS - The easy way

luis and Guillermo Esteves liked this

"This tutorial will take you through all the necessary steps for setting up Django with a persistent PostgreSQL database on AWS. I will be assuming no prior knowledge of AWS, so those of you who have dabbled with it before might want to skim through the first steps. Knowing your way around Django is an advantage but not a requirement." - Clint Ecker via Bookmarklet

Django snippets: UnicodeWriter and UnicodeDictWriter - write unicode strings out to Excel compatible CSV files

August 20 at 7:01 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

"Exporting unicode data to Excel in a CSV file is surprisingly difficult. After much experimentation, it turns out the magic combination is UTF-16, a byte order mark and tab-delimiters. This snippet provides two classes - UnicodeWriter and UnicodeDictWriter - which can be used to output Excel-compatible CSV." -- The Python csv module is thing of majesty! ;) - Clint Ecker via Bookmarklet

Inserting and Positioning Images

August 18 at 5:45 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Eric Florenzano, Jon Parise and Ray Grieselhuber liked this

"A few days ago I stumbled upon a thread over at the Django users mailing list discussing how to handle media in Django. It raised the interesting question of how do you associate images and files with your articles, blog posts, etc. When I started this blog I — too — realized I needed a way to insert and position images in my blog posts. Django only gives you a way to store text and images and leaves the rest up to us, the users of Django." - Clint Ecker via Bookmarklet

An Introduction to Using CouchDB with Django

August 18 at 5:36 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Eric Florenzano and Ray Grieselhuber liked this

"There are a number of reasons why CouchDB is legitimately worth considering despite the inconveniences. Consider a wiki that allowed users to download a copy of its contents and modify them. If it was implemented with CouchDB, the users could then upload their contents and merge them into the database. The implementer wouldn't need to write custom code for this, its part of CouchDB's feature set. If some of the new data was bad, you could then use the versioning system to rollback to a previous revision (unless it had already gotten deleted by compacting the database... ahem)." - Clint Ecker via Bookmarklet

Serving static files with Django and AWS - going fast on a budget

Martin liked this

"Speed matters. When Google tried adding 20 extra results to their search pages, traffic dropped by 20%. The reason? Page generation took an extra .5 seconds. This article will show how Eventseer utilizes an often overlooked way of improving the responsiveness of a web application: Pre-generating and serving static files instead of dynamic pages." - Thomas Brox Røst - Clint Ecker

Best Practice file names - django-hosting.de

Martin liked this

Best Practices: file and folder names in Django projects and Apps If you develop applications with Django, there are some conventions for the benennung of files and folders, but also a lot of freedom, because Django works with normal Python modules. To the overview not to lose and also in projects with multiple developers a uniform structure to be used both documented the file names, which have a special meaning as well as those who are useful for a particular purpose. - Clint Ecker
