django-robots-txt 0.1

Simple robots.txt app for django

This is a simple application to create a robots.txt for django. It has no models at all and you’re supposed to edit a template to update the robots.txt file. I just got tired of copy & pasting this into my apps.

See the robots page for details what the file should look like.

Usage

Get django-robots-txt into your python path:

pip install django-robots-txt

Add robots_txt to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...,
    'robots_txt',
    ...,
)

Add a robots.txt view to your root urlconf (urls.py):

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from robots_txt.views import RobotsTextView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...,
    url(r'^robots.txt$', RobotsTextView.as_view()),
    ...,
)

This urlconf entry is also supported:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...,
    url(r'', include('robots_txt.urls')),
    ...,
)

Create your custom robots.txt file in one of your template directories under robots_txt/robots.txt. The default template is empty.
