Mercurial Mirror For Django 1.4 branch
Another Django release, another branch, another mercurial mirror… Cloning this one will costs you ~35Mb on your hard disk, compared to 167Mb for the official django mirror. This is updated once a day from the official svn, and it’s gonna stay for a long time : https://bitbucket.org/orzel/django-1.4-production/ For some reason, the 1.4 branch was not […] -

Yet another tutorial for building a blog using Python and Django - part 4
Welcome back! In this tutorial we’ll continue extending our Django-powered blogging engine. We’ll add the capability to assign blog posts to categories, and comment on posts. We’ll also generate an RSS feed for our blog posts. Categories are somewhat tougher to implement than most of what we’ve done beforehand. One category can be assigned to many blog posts, and many categories can be assigned to one blog post, so this relationship is described as a “many to many relationship” when drawing up the database structure. What it means is that you can’t directly map categories onto posts and vice versa - you have to create an intermediate database table for the relationship between posts and categories. Here’s what your models.py should look like: from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User # Create your models here. class Category(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=200) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=40, unique=True) description = models.TextField() class Meta: verbose_name_plural = "Categories" def __unicode__(self): return self.title def get_absolute_url(self): return "/categories/%s/" % self.slug class Post(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=200) pub_date = models.DateTimeField() text = models.TextField() slug = models.SlugField(max_length=40, unique=True) author = models.ForeignKey(User) categories = models.ManyToManyField(Category, blank=True, null=True, through='CategoryToPost') def __unicode__(self): return self.title def get_absolute_url(self): return "/%s/%s/%s/" % (self.pub_date.year, self.pub_date.month, self.slug) class … -

Djangocon.eu 2012 and Early Registration
DjangoCon Europe was announced earlier this month and for those that missed it here are a few details. DjangoCon Europe will be held in Zurich Switzerland on June 4-6th with sprints happening on the 7th and 8th. For those who are looking to pick up a ticket the early bird prices end this Saturday, March 31st. Here’s a list of the ticket prices: Early Bird Regular Corporate 599 CHF 629 CHF Individual 429 CHF 459 CHF Student 219 CHF 249 CHF While I’ve never been to DjangoCon Europe last years DjangoCon US was amazing with a lot of great talks and sprints. I think the best part of DjangoCon is meeting the people you interact with on IRC in real life. The discussions and code that comes out of events like this are priceless.

Calendar About Nothing
On October 16th, 2011, which was one hundred and sixty-four days before I published this post, I resolved to get myself onto the Longest Streak list of Calendar About Nothing. Today, with this blog post, I've managed to do just that - get on the Longest Streaks. Calendar About Nothing tracks your open project commits on Github. It tallies your total number of days, records your longest streak, and lets you compare yourself against other committers. The idea comes from an article where Jerry Seinfeld says his secret to productivity is to get something done every day, because if you skip one day then skipping another day is easier. I feel a great sense of accomplishment. The majority of those days I would like to think I did real commits. I pledged to myself to do more than just white space tweaks or write a script to do the work for me. I wanted to accomplish things and make a difference. I started projects, wrote code, cleaned up old code, added tests, documented a lot, and moved my blog here. It's been an awesome time, and keeping my fingers constantly in projects has been eye opening. I feel a great … -

Gunicorn + Nginx - a much better way to deploy your Django website
I've been a lighttpd + FastCGI django user for a long time. Now there's a better solution -> gunicorn. What is a gunicorn? Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork worker model ported from Ruby's Unicorn project. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resources, and fairly speedy. If you -

Scrum and Bugzilla
Not all teams at Mozilla follow the same software development methodology. We’re free to design our own workflows, use whatever tools we want, and just generally work in whatever way is best for us. The one component that almost every project uses is Bugzilla for issue and feature tracking. If you’ve ever worked for, or contributed to Mozilla, you have a Bugzilla account. Apart from being a very powerful and configurable tool, this level of participation is a large part of what keeps projects using and wanting to use Bugzilla. Enter Scrum Being software developers, many of us know and like Scrum. I’ve personally found it to be a great method of answering the old questions of “How long will this take?”, and “How much can we get done?”. I won’t go into great detail on how Scrum works here, but the main points are as follows: Work units are scored by the team based on difficulty or expected time consumption. Those work units are included in a “Sprint” usually lasting 2 weeks. Lots of interesting data is generated around team performance. That last point is key. In order to be able to use and appreciate these data, we need … -

Shortcuts to goodness
Evennia, being a MUD-design system, needs to take some special considerations with its source code - its sole purpose is after all to be read, understood and extended.Python is of course very readable by default and we have worked hard to give extensive comments and documentation. But for a new user looking into the code for the first time, it's still a lot of stuff to take in. Evennia consists of a set of Django-style "applications" interacting and in some cases inheriting from each other so as to avoid code duplication. For a new user to get an overview could therefore mean diving into more layers of code than one would like.I have now gone through the process of making Evennia's API (Application Programming Interface) "flatter". This has meant exposing some of the most commonly used methods and classes at a higher level and fully documenting exactly what they inherit av every layer one looks at. But I have also added a new module ev.py to the root directory. It implements "shortcuts" to all the most commonly used parts of the system, forming a very flat API. This means that what used to be from src.objects.objects import Objectcan now be … -

Yet another tutorial for building a blog using Python and Django - Part 3
Welcome back! In this installment, we’ll make some changes to our URL structure for blog posts, we’ll add support for multiple authors and static pages, and we’ll add some more templates. First of all, our URL structure. The existing structure works fine, but it would be better if we included a representation of the date of publication. If you’re familiar with WordPress, you’ll know it offers several different URL forms, one of which is the post name alone as we’re using here, and another of which is the year, month and name. We’ll use the latter of these URL schemes with our blogging engine. This seems like a good opportunity to introduce the interactive Python shell that comes with Django. Make sure you have a few dummy posts set up, then in the project directory (DjangoBlog/, not the top-level one but the one inside that), enter the following command: python manage.py shell This will start up an interactive Python shell which you can use to interact with your Post objects. Now, the first step is to import your Post model: >>> from blogengine.models import Post We now have access to our Post objects – let’s take a look at them: … -
