Description

Tools to facilitate application development for Django

Console utility for those who have more than one Django reusable application to maintain.

It allows certain actions to be done in batch mode over all you apps.

Supported commands:

• bootstrap
• add_migrations
• make_trans
• list_apps
• list_venvs
• install_package

Requirements

1. Python 2.7+, 3.2+
2. Python virtualenv package (or just Python 3.3+).

How to start

1. Make a new directory, where you want your workspace to be, and step into it;

2. Run > django-dev bootstrap to create basic directory structure;

3. Symlink your apps into apps directory (was created by step 2 in your current directory).

   Example:

   ln -s /home/idle/dev/django-sitetree/sitetree /home/idle/dev/dj_workspace/apps/sitetree

   Notice, that symlinked is a directory containing models.py (not setup.py).

Making both South and Django 1.7+ migrations

Use add_migrations command.

• Relocate old South migrations into south_migrations and create new migrations in migrations:

  > django-dev add_migrations --relocate_south

• Create/update migrations both for South and Django 1.7:

  > django-dev add_migrations

• Create/update migrations for certain apps:

  > django-dev add_migrations --apps sitecats siteflags

Updating translation files

Use make_trans command.

• Update existing .mo and .po files for every locale available in app:

  > django-dev make_trans

• Update/create .mo and .po files for certain locales:

  > django-dev make_trans ru en

• Update/create .mo and .po files for certain apps:

  > django-dev make_trans ru --apps sitetree sitegate

Satisfy your app requirements

Use install_package command to install packages into virtual envs to satisfy app requirements.

Exact version numbers could be given as in PIP: somedep==1.5.
