Django the 404 and 500 pages the fun and easy way.

Like https://github.com/404 and https://github.com/500, but for Django.

Warning

Not yet tested in production anywhere.

Usage

Get the package:

pip install django-blarg

Wire into your project’s root URLConf:

from blarg import error_500, error_404

urlpatterns += patterns("",
    url(r"^500$", error_500, name="error_500"),
    url(r"^404$", error_404, name="error_404"),
)

python manage.py runserver

Test it out!

• http://127.0.0.1/404
• http://127.0.0.1/500

Troubleshooting

You probably already have them, but you’ll need 500.html and 404.html templates in the the root of a templates directory.

Features

• The 500 error template is 100% isolated from Django’s template mechanisms.
• Works with Django 1.0 upwards. Maybe for earlier, test it and see!
• Works with every version of Python ever supported by Django.
• Works on every HTTP method.
