Found another way cool app shared by Linus Lewandowski on django-dev mailing list, here’s the excerpt from django-12factor: “The Twelve-Factor App” is an awesome methodology for building SaaS apps. django-12factor makes Django more 12factor-y. Right now, this focuses on the Config - “Store config in the environment”; Heroku users with addons will be particularly familiar with this. Still not sure of the benefits? Check out “Twelve-Factor Config: Misunderstandings and Advice”.

I’m pretty lazy when it comes to writing tests for existing code, however, I’m even lazier when it comes to repetitive manual testing action, catching up with untested legacy code when I want a lot of coverage now, at least to ease upstream dependency upgrade testing. PHPUnit has had a DBUnit component since at least 10 years, and Junit too, I ported the concept to Django, first in several apps. Extracted it in the package to de-duplicating the data import tests from django-representatives and django-representatives-votes which is re-used in django-cities-light. Read More

Dvorak-intl-code is a keyboard layout optimized for polyglot hackers I’ve started working on and using in 2008. This article demonstrates how to easily create your own keyboard layout by extending an existing one, storing your config in your home directory and load it with a command which .xinitrc or whatever can call. Just add a file in ~/.xkb/symbols, for example I put mine in /home/jpic/.xkb/symbols/code, and looks as such: // Dvorak variant for polyglot coder Read More

Which may save quite some SLOCs (Single Line Of Code) Curry is nothing more than a function returning a function to call a function

Hello everybody <3 Let’s talk about ideas for deprecation / discouraging the use of get_context_data(). get_context_data() is useful to support legacy templates from the pre-CBV era, since CBV we can now access any attributes from the view instance with {{ view }}. I’ve seen things like this in many projects, I wonder if it’s the case for other people too: def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): c = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) c['something'] = self.something return c And I’m guilty as charged you can find commits from myself like this all over internet.
