remove magic
We have a bunch of thing that works, and a bunch of thing that kind of does not. For 1.0 release lets remove all magic.
What is importd?
Its a way to django projects, with less fuss. It has a settings framework, and it encourages sane and useful configuration for teams, like using envdir.
What we should keep
- @d("/") decorator for views
- settings framework
- single file setup.
- dj_database_url
- smart return (how to do this without auto adjusting middlewares?)
- auto wsgi setup
- auto APP_DIR (call it PROJ_DIR?) and d.dotslash()
- secret.txt support (optionally read it from ENV?)
- auto set template dirs
- auto set static dir
- auto set DATABASES
- auto set TEMPLATE_DEBUG to DEBUG
- auto set MANAGERS to ADMINS
- auto import .views and .admin etc for each app
What we should discard
- modifying INSTALLED_APPS etc beyond what is done by settings framework (debug: and prod: prefix handling)
- auto configuration of admin
- werkzeug, django_jinja, django_extensions
- d.get_object_or_404 etc (i have never used them personally)
Lets also deprecate < 1.8 in 1.0 release so we have less mess.
Nice ideas Amitu :grey_exclamation:
I been thinking of secret.txt support (optionally read it from ENV?),
I think that should be a JSON file, because we all know how the structure of a JSON file is without reading any specific Documentation, but when people see a *.txt you dont know what to put there :grey_question:
To read from ENV should be a nice addition, but put passwords on ENV is widely used :grey_question:
Lets also deprecate < 1.8 in 1.0 release so we have less mess. Im so happy with this :grey_exclamation:
Have you seen that Coffin becomes only a pair of template tags since Django now supports Jinja2, so I suggest removing Coffin integration by default, since Coffin itself recommends doing so, or at least explain what I said.
I would say try to improve and update the Documentation :grey_question:
Upload the new version to PyPI of course :grey_exclamation:
:octocat:
- Some of this changes are now on Master.
- All Tests passing, if you run it manually, even if Travis CI gets confused with Python2/Python3.
- Secret Key improved, optionally read it from ENV.
- werkzeug, django_jinja, django_extensions, coffin, etc etc all Clean Up.
- Working with Django 1.9
:smile_cat:
With modern Djangos:
- d.models is broken.
- /admin/ is broken.
- django-debug-toolbar is broken.
- django-debug-toolbar itself seems unmaintained(?).
- fhurl is broken.
- I want to drop mandatory fhurl.
