Default configuration and components for Django projects.

Kition Django Defaults

This package provides default configuration and components for Django projects.

Motivation

Building, operating and maintaining many Django applications leads to repetitive code. This repository strives to reduce the mental overhead by providing code that otherwise would have to be repeated.

Installation

Requirements

Python 3.12 and Django 5.1 supported.

Installation

1. Install with pip:

   python -m pip install kition-djangodefaults
   

2. (Optional) configure any of the following components.

Default Configuration

Use the default settings by calling initialize_settings() after defining the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE within manage.py.

Example

import os
import sys

from kition_djangodefaults import initialize_settings


def main():
    """Run administrative tasks."""
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "example.settings")
    initialize_settings()

    try:
        from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
    except ImportError as exc:
        raise ImportError(
            "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
            "available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
            "forget to activate a virtual environment?"
        ) from exc
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
