django-app-enabler 0.3.0

Autoconfigurator for django applications

Description

PoC autoconfigurator for django applications

django-app-enabler goal is to reduce the configuration of a django application to a one command operation to ease using django applications, both for newcomers and expert developers.

As configuring a django application can be both boring (as 90% are the usual steps editing settings.py and urls.py) and complex (as it’s easy to overlook one vital configuration parameter), replacing this with a single command sounds like a real benefit.

Key points

• zero-knowledge tool to enable and configure django applications in a django project

• rely on specification file shipped by the target application to patch django project configuration

• not a replacement for existing package or dependencies managers (pip / poetry / pipenv / …)

Caveats

• Project is currently just a proof of concept

• No formal specification or documentation exist (yet) for addon configuration file

• A lot of restrictions regarding the settings.py and urls.py files are currently in place

• Not all standard django settings options are currently supported

See usage for more details.
