django-removals 1.3.1

Tool for finding removed features in your Django project

Welcome to the django-removals - a maintainer's best friend for finding removed features in your Django project

PyPI • GitHub • Full documentation

Creator & Maintainer: Beyonder Deutschland

Features

This package will throw Django system checks warnings for all known removals from Django v1.0 to today.

Here's an example:

The checks will either be triggered when using the Django development server

python manage.py runserver

or when you call the checks manually

python manage.py check --deploy

It focuses on Django settings but might also add more checks in the future.

Sources

You can read up on Django deprecations in the official docs.

Installation

• Install the package via pip:

  pip install django-removals

  or via pipenv:

  pipenv install django-removals

• Add module to INSTALLED_APPS within the main django settings.py:

  INSTALLED_APPS = (
      # ...
      "django_removals",
  )
  

Since this package adds only Django system checks, which don't run on production, you could add it only when being in (local) debug mode.

if DEBUG_MODE:
    INSTALLED_APPS += ("django_removals",)

Releasing a new version

Releases are fully automated. Push a version tag and the pipeline will build, sign with Sigstore, publish to PyPI via Trusted Publishing, and create a GitHub Release — no API tokens needed.

git tag v<version>          # e.g. git tag v1.2.3
git push origin v<version>

Tags must start with v. Tags without the prefix won't trigger the pipeline.

First-time setup

Before the pipeline can run for the first time, an admin must:

1. Create GitHub Environment pypi

   • Go to Settings → Environments → New environment, name it exactly pypi
   • Under Deployment branches and tags, add a tag rule with pattern v*
   • Optionally add required reviewers for a manual approval gate

2. Configure PyPI Trusted Publisher

   • Go to PyPI → Project settings → Publishing → Add a new publisher
   • Fill in: Owner ambient-innovation, Repository django-removals, Workflow release.yml, Environment pypi

Publish to ReadTheDocs.io

• Fetch the latest changes in GitHub mirror and push them
• Trigger new build at ReadTheDocs.io (follow instructions in admin panel at RTD) if the GitHub webhook is not yet set up.

Maintenance

Please note that this package supports the ambient-package-update. So you don't have to worry about the maintenance of this package. This updater is rendering all important configuration and setup files. It works similar to well-known updaters like pyupgrade or django-upgrade.

To run an update, refer to the documentation page of the "ambient-package-update".
