Jinja2 Final aka Jinjavitus Released. The Jinja template engine now has auto-escaping as an optional feature, disabled by default. Worth considering as an almost drop-in replacement for Django’s template language if features such as macros and compilation to Python code appeal to you.

Django idzie dużymi krokami do przodu. Coraz większe zmiany zachodzą w głównym repozytorium. Niedawno pojawił się tam patch o nazwie Large streaming uploads, czyli możliwość użycia Django do wysyłania bardzo dużych plików, które bezpośrednio, podczas wysyłania, mogą być zapisywane...

Опять говорю "Ура!". В предыдущий раз это это было в связи с апгрейдом ORM. На это раз кардинальным улучшениям подверглась ещё одна очень важная часть Django - автоматический CRUD, она же в официальной терминологии - админка. После достаточно продолжительного этапа разработки и тестирования NFA бранч влился в транк и подарил пользователям джанги кучу новых ощущений: от радости за сей факт, до тревоги по поводу необходимости переписывать имеющийся код. Но нас, любителей самых "свежих срезов", это никогда не останавливало.:) Многие уже успели изменить транку с NFA брачем и некоторое время погонять новую админку в своих проектах. Но не все такие смелые:) Вообще это очень интересный процесс когда ты видишь по увеличившемуся числу changeset'ов перед релизом чего-то нового, что вот оно скоро свершится. Так было с Малкольмом, когда он допиливал рефакторинг ORM и произошло сейчас, благо спринт организовали. Эти приятные хлопоты по полировке деталей, правки уже кажущихся не очень существенными сообщениями об ошибках, именования переменных и функций, и т.п. Так что же мы получили? Во первых случился важнейший переворот в принципе описания админки. Если раньше её описание было частью определения модели, то теперь оно происходит отдельно. Что, наконец, дает возможность кастомизировать админку для моделей сторонних приложений без всяких хаков и редактирования чужого ...

I and a host of other folks have been waiting anxiously for this merge for a while now. Excited to see it happen tonight. Good job, Brian Rosner et al.

Brian Rosner just now, with Changeset 7967, merged the NewForms-Admin branch of Django into Trunk. This is a huge step forward in the push to version 1.0. I want to personally thank all of the numerous contributors that have made NewForms-Admin possible. It’s been an enormous amount of work, and I am so appreciative. Thanks!

Watch Brian Rosner merge Django NewForms-Admin live. This might be a first.

Just looking through DjangoSites.org and Googling around, I'm absolutely puzzled by the lack of Django-based browser games. It is such an idea platform for developing these, yet there are only a few that are actually open to the public (some of which aren't in English, and are thus inaccessible to me). There seem to be a few games out there in French, Chinese, and some other things I don't really recognize, though. Here are a few games in English I've been able to round up: My Dark Secret - A murder mystery game of some sorts. You Are Hunted - I'm not really sure :) I'm particularly interested in anything open-source, as I'd love to contribute from time to time, but I'd love to hear of any playable games that I have missed, or any open-source games in development. As far as close-sourced games in development, they're not of much interest to me if they're at least not open for testing. Without access to the source or a reachable site, it's as good as vaporware (and many of them never see completion). So speak up, let me know if there's something that I've completely missed!

The fiinal version of the Jinja2 Django-inspired template engine was just released. It comes with tons of improvements over the older Jinja1 engine and breaks backwards compatibility to some point over the old Jinja1 engine. It’s packaged as a separate package so that you can use both right next to each other for an easier [...]

An email from Dreamhost indicates official support for running Django. I'd like to learn a bit more before I trust their announcement.

Every once in a while I’m really impressed by a library I stumble upon. A while back that was virtualenv, now i stumbled upon fabric. I was using capistrano for a project I was working on which was kinda okay but somehow I wasn’t sold to it. Yesterday however apollo13 stumbled upon fabric which is capistrano [...]

(Regular readers, please pardon a small, targeted begging request.) I'm trying to make it to Washington, DC, for the Django sprint on August 1. Is there anybody in the area who has a couch or floor I could sleep on for the night before the sprint and the night afterwards? If I can save having to buy a hotel room around the area in the peak of summer, that would be nice. Any responses to "malcolm at pointy-stick" (or firstname.lastname at gmail). Thanks.

Прошел месяц с переезда моих форумов на Cicero и мне захотелось поделиться тем, как оно все живет и работает. Благо, живет оно, если вкратце, хорошо, и делиться этим приятно :-) Месяц прошел в неспешном рефакторинге (наконец перевел формы на ModelForm, которых не сущетсвовало, когда начинал их писать), добавлении мелких удобств (автоподсветка URL’ов, чтение SRE из OpenID) [...]
