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 [...] -

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, [...] -
I am in the NY Times, sorta
Check out the NYTimes article on WilsonDailyPrep. We at Imperial Consulting did the application, using Django and Python.

Django’s dev server and UTF-8
From time to time I got this UnicodeEncodeError, but I had done all the things (sitecustomize.py, some more) right in order to configure the system in UTF-8. I thought. I did the usual ./manage runserver and since I assumed that on my Mac everything is already properly configured ... -

Adobe Air Tour Europe stopped in Munich
Fortunately Tobias found out one day before that Adobe was touring with Air and coming to Munich. Adobe really had provided everything, from breakfast, drinks, lunch too I guess (we weren't there) and beer afterwards (that we didn't miss). It was really impressive. The talks were very Air focused, I ... -
Customize admin for User model
Before django 1.0 I don't remember that there was a way to customize how the admin renders the User overview. Fortunately 1.0 does allow it. It took me a bit to figure out. After searching the web and the django docs I didn't find it right away, so I tried the ... -

Django Production Error Handler
I am working on an application that, besides providing a dynamic website, also talks to an iPhone application. What happens when the iPhone, or a web visitor, triggered a bug in the application?
