Documenting Django pluggable apps with Sphinx
I decided to document my Django projects with the same tool used by Django team: Sphinx. It is a very good documenting tool, and was used for many other projects, including the Python Project itself. But it has a simple problem with Django, that I found the solution rlazo’s blog. But it still has some problems, [...] -

Reffering to Django docs from your docs using Sphinx
Sphinx is a great documentation tool, and one of it’s built-in extensions is sphinx.ext.intersphinx. It simply takes your objects references for other projects and converts to links in the other project’s documentation. In sphinx-quickstart command, it asks if you want to add this extension. If so, It adds this code to your conf.py file: extensions = ['sphinx.ext.intersphinx'] intersphinx_mapping [...] -
MEDIA_URL and context from processors available in HTTP 500 template
It’s easy to create a custom template for HTTP 500 errors. All you have to do is create a file named 500.html in any of the application’s TEMPLATE_DIRS. But in almost all cases you want to use media in this page. It’s good to have an error page with the same look and feel of [...] -

Fix Python source code to use spaces instead of tabs
What if someone gave you a Python source file that is indented using tabs? If you are using emacs, the following will let you convert it back to using spaces: # first set the buffer tab width to 4 (or whatever you like) M-x set-variable <return> tab-width <return> 4 # then mark the entire file [...] -
