Today I made a #Django management tool to scaffold starter models, admins, + tests for tables in an existing database, because I have better things to do than write boilerplate for dozens of tables. Not sure if it's shareable outside of work or even interesting to Django people, but I did it.

Oh, nicely timed @wagtail! I just published my blog post on why we should feature third-party packages in the #Django documentation.

Wrapping a #Django project in an electron app and shipping it to windows / macOS running a full data science stack (>1gb .venv) using a bundled relocatable Python interpreter with django-tasks for long running simulations and htmx to be able to show interactive progress. Still baffled that this works at all.

Funny how DjangoCPH is smaller and further away than PyConNL, but I'm still holding off on buying a ticket to the latter until I know it doesn't conflict with the former.

Priorities.

If I want to go the VPS route but don't want to use Hetzner, what are decent alternatives that are less expensive than DigitalOcean?

And SHOULD I be looking at VPS for #Django?

My goal is to get off of Fly.io.

And while we're at it, if I want to host outside the US, does it matter if the company is US-based vs wherever the server location I select is?

Days since I've been confused between django.template.base.Template and django.template.backends.django.Template: 0 #Django

Rewatching the 2023 highlights… getting excited for this year’s DjangoCon Africa in Arusha, Tanzania ! One month to go!

I am working on extending the #Django test framework to include comprehensive performance testing for the open-source project https://github.com/ibrahim-sisar/EduLite, but hopefully I will #opensource the test extension itself with the name 'Django-Mercury'

This test framework introduced a new class, `DjangoPerformanceTestCase` that automatically tracks the stats of three important things:

1. View response times and memory usage
2. Serializer payload sizes & performance (specific to DRF)
3. Model queries and creations.

New asserts like `assertPerformance`, `assertResponseTimeLess`, `assertMemoryLess`, `assertPerformanceFast`, `assertPerformanceNotSlow` can join your existing test suite, just configure what 'Fast' and 'NotSlow' means in your settings.py!

I am excited to share how it actually works behind the scenes (spolier; I put my newfound C knowledge to use- it's lightning fast!)

Working on translations in Django, for now four languages

What pipeline checks do you use for your projects to check if everything is translated?(or what other checks should we have as well?)

Any cool linters? Bash-bangers? or other cool tricks?
