Various common Django-related routines.

Project description

This library consists of various Django-related routines that extend or modify the behaviour of the framework:

  • extensions for settings.py (current directory resolution, namespace package support, settings profile support)

  • Choices: an enum implementation for Django forms and models (with predefined classes for languages, countries, etc.)

  • typical filters, template tags, models, form fields, etc.

Complete documentation for the package can be found here:

http://packages.python.org/lck.django/

The latest version can be installed via PyPI:

$ pip install lck.django

or:

$ easy_install lck.django

The source code repository and issue tracker are maintained on GitHub.

This package bundles some royalty free static images that are useful in almost every Django project:

For the curious, lck stands for LangaCore Kit. LangaCore is a one man software development shop of mine.

Note: lck.common requires Python 2.7 because all of its code is using the so-called four futures (absolute_imports, division, print_function and unicode_literals). One of the virtues in the creation of this library is to make the code beautiful. These switches give a useful transitional state between the old Python 2.x and the new Python 3.x. You should use them as well.

Note: Since 0.5.0 lck.django requires Django 1.3 because it makes my monkey-patching efforts much easier. Moreover, 1.3 nicely deprecates behaviour which I consider ugly.
