I don't think anyone can be truly sure: if it is working now, and the
OpenID specs are stable (I assume they are), then it should work for
the forseeable future. Django may (but is unlikely to) change making
it not work, but if it is written "properly", then such a change is
likely to break innumerable third-party apps.

At the very least, you will have access to the source code, and be
able to make it work again.  Which, frankly, you will need to do if
you write your own OpenID library.

Matt.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for replying. The information is really useful.

however, when i checked out the openid link you gave me, the project
seems still on a testing stage, and on the website, it says: "A modern
library for integrating OpenID with Django - incomplete, but really
nearly there (promise)"

are you sure that it's working and wont break after some time?

thanks.
Yu

I think the semi-official Django book is where most people start. It's
available online and currently covers 1.1 (at least according to chapter 1).

The best practices for Django would be to break functionality for these
features into seperate "applications" in Django speak. See: Writing your
first Django app: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

The part where you start creating models is where you actually create a
Django "application" using the "startapp" command..
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/#id3

That said, there are a number of applications that are written by others
that you should be able to use right out of the box for most of your
functionality.

Django Newbie seeking for advice

[Mister Yu]

Hi experts,

i m a newbie and i m self learning django and writing an web app as i
go along. i learn django by following this great screencast tutorial
from here: http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/series?name=PPN7NA155
called Django From the Ground-up.

it's a really great serious of tutorial. however it doesn't cover what
i/everybody else' need. so i come here for some advice from you
experts:

1. can you suggest an up-to-date(django 1.1) book which can guide a
newbie to a higher level? ebook is ok, free is more than ok  :)

best practice for the following things under django 1.1, (i tried
google, but some of the material might not fit for 1.1 anymore), you
can just name a library or which built-in module is best, as these are
the features in my mind for my little project
2. tags
3. open-id
4. user avatar
5. ajax form
6. twitter api

thanks very much in advance for any kind of advice.

Cheers!
