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 [...] -

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, [...] -
Serving favicon in an Django App using Apache
I got a free few minutes to work on my own site here. Since I migrated the site from all static pages to Django served, I still haven’t put back the favicon icon back onto the site. The sites runs under a virtual host in apache2 at WebFaction. This is what you need to put [...] -
Django CSRF Migration
Like many of you, I am migrating all my Django sites to Django 1.2.1. For sites that are currently in production, I am doing the slow migration route. Just trying to get the site up with 1.2 without using any of the new features yet. One thing that I ran into is the new CSRF [...] -
Jacob Kaplan-Moss on DevOps

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? Django actually provide a nice mechanism to report error in its “batteries included” goodness. You can easily setup the Django environment so [...] -
My Accidental Connection with Senator Ted Kennedy
Being Chinese in Boston, I always hear positive stories about the late Senator Ted Kennedy helping immigrants. In addition, I agree with most of his political views, he seemed like a good Senator. After learning of his death, I felt we had lost a great man. I added one of his biographies to my Amazon [...] -

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 ... -

The talks were very Air focused, I ...
