"Python CSS/Javascript minifier"

"Read/sync your IMAP mailboxes". Using this to back up Gmail.

Could have done with this recently. Next time.

"A realtime event logging and aggregation platform built on Django"

Ah.

Tests python for PEP 8 style conventions. Thanks, Rolo!

More fabric examples.

HTML version is free. eBook is supercheap. Not that one should choose programming books on cost.

Lots of useful things here. Use Vagrant.

Very early days.

"A highly scalable real-time graphing system".

"Reusable apps, sites, tools, and more for your Django projects".

"A utility for arming (creating) many bees (micro EC2 instances) to attack (load test) targets (web applications)"

Constructive criticism from the DjangoCon keynote (in the spirit of Cal's highly amusing "Why I Hate Django" from 2008).

Fairly hardcore.

"All the tools you need for Screen Scraping & Data Mining."

"Employing an internal data griot makes a lot of sense: someone who can spend the time looking for both large trends and individual needs and uses that illuminate and portend. It’s a hard job, needing a mix of skills rarely found – a smidgen of hard maths and statistics, a pinch of programming, and dessert spoons of various liberal arts. The Economist (sub required) posits them as data scientists (a position Flickr are currently looking for), but this misses the ability to ask interesting questions, and having hunches – being so immersed in the data that relevancy screams out."

"You didn't write that awful page. You're just trying to get some data out of it. Right now, you don't really care what HTML is supposed to look like. Neither does this parser."

"South is a Django project which [provides] “consistent, easy-to-use, database-agnostic migrations for Django applications.” Below are the most basic steps for getting South up and running in your project."

"Django allows you to serve static files through your sandbox. By replacing Django's standard static "serve" function with the one below, you will be able to serve images locally, but look for them on a remote URL if it's not found locally."

"Cleaner. Much cleaner. Proper unit testing. Real reusable components across applications. An ORM rather than a just a series of functional query helpers. Tighter conventions (q: how often do people using Python argue about bracing styles? a: they don't). We can update then test a Django core change without worrying about having to take apart our applications, and if we do need to make a change, it's easy to do because there's less, much more readable code. Every member of the tech team can meaningfully contribute because there are fewer specialized or hacked together pieces."

"All deployments need to be automated. No ad-hoc, one-off deployments allowed. If you do allow them, they can quickly snowball into an unmaintainable, unreproducible mess."

"The Python Module of the Week series, or PyMOTW, is a tour of the Python standard library through short examples." Nice.

Code and configuration used in [Jacob Kaplan-Moss'] Django Deployment Workshop.

"I’m interested in looking at the loudness for the recordings of a number of artists to see how wide-spread this loudness war really is. To do this I used the Echo Nest remix API and a bit of Python to collect and plot loudness for a set of recordings. I did two experiments. First I looked at the loudness for music by some of my favorite or well known artists. Then I looked at loudness over a large collection of music."

Lots of rather exciting music analysis APIs.

"django-devserver provides a simple drop-in runserver replacement. It allows you to run a command, python manage.py rundevserver, and to get some additional information. As of writing, that additional information includes real-time SQL logging (aka mass query spam in your terminal), and a summary of cache calls."

"A comprehensive environment for interactive and exploratory computing [featuring] an enhanced interactive Python shell [and] an architecture for interactive parallel computing."

"A Python script that uses [the Webfaction] API to create all of the DNS overrides you need to use Google Apps for your email."

"A web-based application for managing software and software-based consulting projects. Currently it uses Trac to handle individual projects but adds the ability to create new trac instances, svn configurations, etc."

"Reports on common programming errors and bad code smells, including checking for nullable CharField field types, the use of brittle or deprecated Django features (such as auto_now_add) as well as the absence of recommended options in settings.py. It aims to encourage the development of high-quality re-usable Django applications."

Lots of useful-looking django apps.

Early days but looks promising. "I have decided to use cpython as platform, django as web framework for the server and Fabric as library to automate the task execution."

"Aims to provide an easy to setup continuous integration server and client. The server side infrastructure is built on top of django. The tasks are described using fabric."

New Django mag.

"Two case studies of building Django applications irresponsibly on tight deadlines, and some thoughts on more sustainable ways of developing with Django."

"A brief talk about getting started with automating deployment [...] nice and simple and [doesn't] focus on any specific technology or tool – just the general principles and pitfalls of doing anything manually."

Webfaction's new Django documentation.

"Bitten is a Python-based framework for collecting various software metrics via continuous integration. It builds on Trac to provide an integrated web-based user interface."

"A system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes. By automatically rebuilding and testing the tree each time something has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before other developers are inconvenienced by the failure. The guilty developer can be identified and harassed without human intervention."

"There’s plenty of material (documentation, blogs, books) out there that’ll help you write a site using Django… but then what? You’ve still got to test, deploy, monitor, and tune the site; failure at deployment time means all your beautiful code is for naught. This tutorial examines how best to cope when the Real World intrudes on your carefully designed website."

"A Python library and command-line tool designed to streamline deploying applications or performing system administration tasks via the SSH protocol. It provides tools for running arbitrary shell commands (either as a normal login user, or via sudo), uploading and downloading files, and so forth."

"The most interesting thing for Python fans will be undoubtedly their selection for the Web application framework. Maybe again unsurprisingly, they chose...Django"

"A full-featured content management and website development system, with Django templates and a custom data model integrated with GIT."

"A URL shortening app for Django."

"I persevered, I obediently followed the tutorial, and I discovered all the things that make Django such a powerful framework; the excellent separation of concerns, the superb templating system, the lack of so-called front-end “helpers” that cripple other server-side frameworks. I think Gareth was really onto something when he noticed the way that the web standards world appears to be choosing Django."

"Journalism has been crowdsourced before, but it’s the scale of the Guardian’s project — 170,000 documents reviewed in the first 80 hours, thanks to a visitor participation rate of 56 percent — that’s breathtaking." Brilliant.

"It works directly with Django Models and provides a familiar API to people who are comfortable with Django."

"A Django application that automates CSS/JavaScript compression and helps in making delivery of static media more efficient"

"Bloom is set of open source pluggable applications for rapidly developing mobile websites in Django."

"Reversion is an extension to the Django web framework that provides comprehensive version control facilities."

"An open-source collection of re-usable apps for the Django Web Framework. By integrating numerous reusable Django apps to take care of the things that many sites have in common, it lets you focus on what makes your site different."

"dmigrations is a Django migrations tool. It addresses a common problem in Django development: if you change a model after creating the database tables for it with syncdb, how do you reflect those changes in your database tables without blowing away your existing data and starting again from scratch?"

Handy intro.

"This tutorial will take you through all the necessary steps for setting up Django with a persistent PostgreSQL database on AWS. I will be assuming no prior knowledge of AWS,"

"Djangobile is a django extension for render web pages according to device capabilities. Therefore djangobile offers an implementation for W3C Working Draft IDEAL (Interface DEscription Authoring Language)."

Free beginner's Python book.

"The BitNami DjangoStack is an installer that greatly simplifies the installation of Django and its runtime dependencies. It includes ready-to-run versions of Python, Django, MySQL and Apache. DjangoStack is distributed for free under the Apache 2.0 license. "
