Dajaxproject, primera part
Una de les preguntes més recurrents en les llistes de Django, junt amb la de quin editor fer servir és la de com fer cridades AJAX i quina llibreria utilitzar. Django és agnòstic en el que fa a les llibreries javascript, tot i això la part de l'admin fa servir jQuery, però oficialment no hi ha cap llibreria especialment recomanada, Django és pot utilitzar amb qualsevol llibreria i dependrà del projecte que en triem una o altra. El problema de que no es faci cap recomanació de com integrar cridades AJAX amb Django ens dóna molta llibertat, però també te l'emperò de que no hi ha cap guia de bones pràctiques sobre com fer-ho, des d'on posar la llibreria, quin nom li hem de donar, si la posam al views.py o no. El la comunitat de codi obert quan hi ha un buid així i una necessitat ben aviat sorgeixen projectes que intenten donar una resposta. Un d'aquests projectes és el que us present en aquest article el dajaxproject. Djaxaproject són de fet dues llibreries, dajaxice i dajax, la primera podríem dir que respon a la necessitat que us comentava de fer més senzilla la comunicació asíncrona entre les aplicacions … -

5 open-source Python/Django apps we love
The Python/Django duet is fantastic, everyone knows that. However it can be even more awesome with these apps: 1. South This is an intelligent schema and data migration tool. If you don’t use it yet, you will want to after reading this post. Okay… but what it is exactly? When you create a Django app, you are using the “syncdb” command. After a model changes you have to delete the whole database and run “syncdb,” or manually do SQL changes directly in the database. It’s even more tragic when you already have production data. Not so fun, right? Enter our hero: “South.” Its main objectives are to provide a simple, stable and database-independent migration layer to prevent all the hassles schema changes bring to your Django applications over time. Simple example Let’s create a model in our “southtut” app: class Knight(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) of_the_round_table = models.BooleanField() Then let’s create our first migration: $ ./manage.py schemamigration southtut --initial Creating migrations directory at '/home/andrew/Programs/litret/southtut/migrations'... Creating __init__.py in '/home/andrew/Programs/litret/southtut/migrations'... + Added model southtut.Knight Created 0001_initial.py. You can now apply this migration with: ./manage.py migrate southtut And apply our new migration: $ ./manage.py migrate southtut Running migrations for southtut: - Migrating forwards to … -
Running sentry on DotCloud
Sentry is a realtime event logging and aggregation platform. At it’s core it specializes in monitoring errors and extracting all the information needed to do a proper post-mortum without any of the hassle of the standard user feedback loop. The main feature of sentry and the ability to send all of your application logs to one place, and then aggregate them, so that you only get one error email for the same error. This will keep your mailbox from flooding, when something goes wrong. Putting your logging server on a different server or network then your production servers is a good idea. If something goes wrong, and you can't access your servers, you can still see what errors were getting thrown before the servers started having problems. Follow these easy steps to get sentry up and running on DotCloud. Create a place to store your project $ mkdir -p ~/projects Go into the projects directory $ cd ~/projects Clone git repo from github, requires git client $ git clone git://github.com/kencochrane/sentry-on-dotcloud.git Go into the new project directory $ cd sentry-on-dotcloud Creating the virtualenv (using virtualenvwrapper, virtualenv, and pip) $ mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute sentry-on-dotcloud Install all of the Sentry requirements via pip … -

How to justify attending PyCon sprints
Sad that the PyCon sprints fall on business days? Wishing you could stay but the boss/client won't let you and demands you back so 'you can work'? This is how you make it so that the sprints are something your management is demanding you attend every sprint ever.Make it foremost in your mind that the wonderful thing about the PyCon sprints is that the odds are that anyone who knows anything about whatever you are doing in Python will be there.Write up a list of the things that you are finding challenging, hard, or impossible to do with Python.Now go to the boss and say something like: "Because the experts and leaders of the open source tools we are using are going to be there, I want to attend PyCon sprints. All my time at the sprints will be focused on sitting around them and working on our tools. I'll focus on things that directly impact our agency / company / organization, specifically things I wrote down on this list."If the boss says, "Why not just use IRC or email?"Then you say something like, "Well, IRC/email is not the same as sitting next to these people. I'll be so much … -

Connecting Django Models with outer applications
Preface: Sometimes, parts of the data that you have to display in your application reside out of the Django models. Simple example for this is the following case – the client requires that you build them a webshop but they already have CRM solution that holds their products info. Of course they provide you with [...] -
