New book: Instant Django 1.5 Application Development Starter

[Mauro Rocco]

Hi everybody,
I just wrote a book to get started with Django and I really hope that the 
book will drive more developers to use Django and increase the success that 
this great framework is already having. 
Thanks also to PacktPublishing that aims to help sustain the projects which 
it publishes books on by paying royalties to them. 
I just want to make clear that this book is for real beginners and for that 
doesn't touch any best practices and advanced topics. Due also to Packt 
rules this book was really restricted to the minimum useful content for let 
the reader start with Django.

Here you found the book in different formats:

Thanks

New release of Instant Django

[Kevin]

For the Windows users out there, or for those with friends who use Windows, 
this is for you.

Some of you may recall Instant Django, there should be a post from the 
original author on this group about it.

Basically Instant Django is a self contained Python+Django installation 
within a single directory.  It can run on any Windows platform without any 
further software installations.  It can even run alongside your existing 
Python installation, without interfering with it.  It is an entirely 
self-contained Python+Django installation to easily engage with future 
Django developers, or those who merely want to check out Django just to see 
if it's right for them.

Changes from the original Instant Django include:
Django 1.4
Setuptools-0.6u11
pip-1.1

The inclusion of setuptools and pip allow new users to Python to easy 
install new packages and explore PyPi to see what there is offer in the 
world of Python.

Unlike normal Python installations, the included batch file will setup a 
perfect "PATH" variable, to make the command shell in Windows feel exactly 
like a *NIX.  Python and django-admin are in the PATH. :)  This will allow 
users to easy use the package with no knowledge of setting up their Windows 
environment, and this also makes most, if not all online Python tutorials 
just work.  Normally a Windows user will need to either alter their path 
settings, or type in the entire path, for django-admin.py this can be a tad 
annoying.  This can also deter users from exploring Python or Django, as it 
can be a lot of work to configure your Windows environment.

Everything from the original Instant Django are all left in tact.  I added 
a readme file and a packages file which explains some basic operations to 
get new users up and running quickly.  The batch file is the same as in 
Instant Django.  Notepad++ is also included, just as the original Instant 
Django.

Check it out, and let me know what you think: 
http://www.pythondiary.com/blog/Apr.10,2012/instant-django-release-information.html

Best of all, the actual ZIP file is hosted on a CDN(Content Delivery 
Network), which means all users regardless of their region will be-able to 
download the file at very fast speeds(does depend on your local connection, 
don't expect fast on your 56k).

Re: Anyone want to take over maintaining Instant Django?

Hi,

Whatever happened to this?

@sidmitra - did you manage to take over maintainership of this project?

If not, @cjl - do you still have the scripts for this?

Cheers,
Victor

Hello Cjl,

I can host it for you and spend some time keeping it up to date.  I
have built windows installers before so I could probably fix the

Hi,

I wouldn't mind taking it on. I can host it on my hosting server and
maintain your child for you. Do let me know and we can exchange the
information.I am an eager new learner of django but am creating an
enterprise level application for a university at the moment and will
get up to speed rather fast.

Hi there. While I cannot extend on it for a while yet, I have a few thoughts
on why one would keep this site "alive".

Please email me some stats like total running costs, average monthly hits?
Would be nice to see Google Analytics stats.

Thanks.

Anyone want to take over maintaining Instant Django?

[cjl]

Djangoholics:

I no longer have the time or interest to maintain my little project:

http://www.instantdjango.com

If anyone would like to take over the project, I would gladly give it
away. Right now it costs a few dollars in shared hosting a month, and
a few more dollars for the downloads I host with AWS. If you take over
the project I will give you the domain, but I'm not going to pay the
hosting.

I'll also give you my 'build' script, but it no longer works correctly
because the Python core devs broke the Windows installer, and mocked
me when I reported the bug.

The project website gets a hundred or so hits a day, and several
thousand downloads a month. It also ranks highly for a few different
google searches related to Django.

Let me know if you have any interest. It wouldn't take much effort to
maintain, I just can't do it anymore.

Instant Django for Mac?

[Michael Meier]

Hi

I'm trying to install Django on my Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 10.5
(Leopard)) since weeks and I've spent about 15 hours and I haven't
succeeded so far.

What I want is a local PostgreSQL database server on my Macbook, so I
tried all Tutorials I've found on the internet, most with MacPorts.

Actually it's just for development, but I want the real PostgreSQL
server to test it. Is there a package with all stuff in there? Like
"Instant Django" for Windows - but for Mac?

I just don't have any remaining nerves for that installation.

One small problem with instant-django and old local python
installation:

- Instant django (latest version)
- local python 2.4.3 (!) installation

Problem:
When using sqlite db backend. It seems that django have been looking
for an old module because it has got error on db backend file (sqlite)
about not
finding pysqlite2 (and not sqlite3 module from python 2.5).

After locally upgrading from 2.4.3 to 2.5.1 everything seems to work
just fine.

Author was notified about this issue.

Thanks for the follow up bug report.  It looks like I was using
ExeMaker incorrectly.

In the utilities folder is a file named 'update.bat'. Change the
following line:

exemaker %CD%\Utilities\django-admin.py %CD%\Utilities

To read:

exemaker -i %CD%\Python25\python.exe %CD%\Utilities\django-admin.py %CD
%\Utilities

Then double-click start.bat, and type 'update' and the command prompt,
and press enter.  This should re-create django-admin.exe using the new
directives, which specify which python interpreter to use. I am
curious to see if this solves your problem.  If so, I will update the

reasons dajngo-admin.exe call python installed on my computer not the
one in your package.
However this is working fine "E:\instant_django\django>python
Utilities/django-admin.py" but this is not working :
E:\instant_django\django>E:\instant_django\django\Utilities\django-
admin.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\instant_django\django\Utilities\django-admin.py", line 5,
in 
from django.core import management
ImportError: No module named django.core

It seems that django-admin.exe behave like "E:\instant_django\django
\Utilities\django-admin.py" instead of  "python Utilities/django-
admin.py"

Thank you for your effort in helping me.

Re: Instant Django

Thanks again for the bug report, I have found the problem.

Change the 'path' section of start.bat to read:

path = %CD%\Python25;%CD%\Utilities;%CD%\Utilities\svn-
win32-1.4.4\bin;%CD%\Utilities\exemaker-1.2-20041012;%CD%\Utilities
\npp.4.1.2.bin;%CD%\Utilities\sqlite-3_4_0;%PATH%

I had %PATH% first, and it needs to come last, because order matters,
and it needs to find my python before it finds the previously
installed python.

I will make the change, and upload a new version later.

Thank you for the bug report.

I thought I had tested this use case, but obviously I missed
something. I'll check into it, and get back to you with an answer.

Re: Instant Django

[yml]

Hello,

I have downloaded your package and launch the start.bat
Then in that console I have entered: "django-admin startproject
test_admin"

Unfortunatly the system raises this error message:
"""
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\instant_django\django\Utilities\django-admin.py", line 5,
in 
from django.core import management
ImportError: No module named django.core
"""
It looks like the system is using my "installed" python and not the
one provided in your package.
Could you please let me know what need to be done to fix this error?

Thank you very much for your effort of making django moveable.
Regards,
yml

Re: Instant Django

Pretty sweet, good job!

I would recommend echoing some info when one runs start.bat. I thought
it wasn't working right at first because it just opened a normal
command prompt. Just telling people a few of the Django commands that
are available to them would probably be enough.

Jazz is good music. I suppose you've never seen a good Jazz trio play
at a nice club while you sip some wine with a lovely woman. Otherwise
you would like Jazz a little more.

I looked at this earlier today. Excellent work! As a windows user, I
really appreciate your efforts here and I'm going to install a copy
onto my flash drive.

Instant Django

[cjl]

Group:

Over the last few weeks I put up a little website called Instant
Django:

http://www.instantdjango.com

It includes a simple tutorial, and a no-installation-required,
portable django development environment for windows that can be run
from a USB thumb drive.

I have just finished a very rough first draft of the tutorial, and I
am interested in community feedback.

Over the next few weeks I hope to write additional tutorial chapters.

If you get a chance, check it out and drop me an email telling me what
you think.

Quite interesting for me.
Solicited suggestion (or random thougth) follows.

I have something similar in my some-day-perhaps projects queue. I
thought rather to use a 2 steps approach.
First step is a django application that generates django applications
(it's better than a script to allow anybody to install and test it, and
you have a GUI for free).
Second step is part of the generated application: run a shell script
that create the environment, sync the database, load test data...

It will work like this:

 * The app will allow to upload one or more text files (CSV mainly)
 * File names inspire model names. Field names came from fist line
header.
 * Within a simple wizard UI you can choose the relationship between
models (just a bunch of select boxes with model and field names, KISS
philosophy)
 * Choose app name, and press "generate"
 * You get a tar.gz with python code, ready to un-gzip-tar anywhere,
run a shell script that setup the environment, create database, syncdb
and load test data
 * Test data will be loaded with python code like
MyClassOne(field1="aaa", field2="bbb",
field3=MyClassTwo(field1="ccc")).save()
 * The generated app run like any other, python manage.py runserver...

The app will store uploaded files with some other information (custom
templates, media files...) just to allow later modifications and app
regeneration.

I've take a glance at your script, it seems your approach is more
auto-contained but the target is the same, i.e. to generate easy apps
fast, isn'it?

Difficult to explain in a foreign language. Next time I'll try to
express myself in python.

Re: instant django

[ross.lazarusatgmail.com]

Eric: feel free to "clean up" my script, but maybe take a closer look
first :-) It does use the csv module for csv - I think I even tested it
once - but I mostly deal with tab delimited files.

I wonder if you're looking at complexity related to wanting an iterator
for either csv or generic delimited files and to the challenge of
sniffing file types and field types. My plans for this script are
related to my work, but I'm interested to see if there are people
willing to work on it as a django utility. All suggestions welcomed.

Hey Ross,

I just gave your script a cursory glance.  It looks interesting.  I wonder if 
you considered using the Python csv module.  I think it does a lot of the 
csv/tab drudgery that you are doing near the top of your script.  If it meets 
your needs, it might clean up your script a bit.

Have fun,

Eric.

instant django

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Anyone interested in a django project generator I just hacked up?  Take
a look at
http://ross.lazarus.googlepages.com/dJingle.py

It's a python program that loads enough django to create a complete
project - it takes a delimited file path as the CL parameter, reads the
header, sniffs column lengths, bangs out a complete sqlite django
project and app, loads all the data (!) and starts the built-in server.
Kind of scary. Needs a full 0.95+ django install and sqlite to work of
course, but py2exe does beckon...

sqlite only so there's no requirement for any backend configuration.
Seems to work ok on windows if everything's there. The fugly hack I'm
using to start the built in server and spawn a webbrowser to the new,
shiny admin interface doesn't work right on linux yet.

Needs lots of work, but the proof of concept is definitely there. If
anyone else wants to help me with this, please get in touch.
