Wagtail CMS - elegant, easy, open source content management. Migrating a Django app from MySQL to PostgreSQL. We just finished migrating the database for our Django 1.6 app from MySQL to PostgreSQL.
If you have a clean environment this process is as simple as running syncdb and/or migrate to create the tables, truncating the data in those tables, and running the dumpdata and loaddata management commands. Here are the steps to do this: Step 1: Create an empty database in your PostgreSQL instance CREATE DATABASE dbname OWNER rolename; Django - Full Stack Python. Django is a widely-used Python web application framework with a "batteries-included" philosophy.
The principle behind batteries-included is that the common functionality for building web applications should come with the framework instead of as separate libraries. For example, authentication, URL routing, a templating system, an object-relational mapper (ORM), and database schema migrations (as of version 1.7) are all included with the Django framework. Compare that included functionality to the Flask framework which requires a separate library such as Flask-Login to perform user authentication.
The batteries-included and extensibility philosophies are simply two different ways to tackle framework building. Chicago Django/Python Blog - Imaginary Landscape Blog. A core challenge of setting up a Django project is creating a production-worthy server environment and project setup.

A year or so ago I looked around at some of the tools available for doing software configuration management.
I was in the process of deploying a Django application and stumbled upon this great (and kind of long) workshop video by Jacob Kaplan-Moss, one of the creators of Django. It’s a great resource for learning about web applications in general, talking about subjects such as reverse proxys and spoon feeding and automatic deployments. One of the things Jacob mentioned in the video was that he wasn’t happy with the tools available for configuration management software within the Python space. The major options include Chef and Puppet, which both are written in Ruby and uses a Ruby DSL for configuring. I haven’t tried Chef, but I have been digging into Puppet. It turns out, that about the same time I did look around, a new alternative was launched called Ansible, written in Python. I haven’t done a lot with it yet.

Tags: django (We’re using AngularJS in a couple of Django projects, so I decided to go to an AngularJS meeting in Haarlem, the Netherlands. This is a summary of the second talk.) Adolfo’s talk is about structuring your web projects with Yeoman and Maven.
Yeoman is build by the same team as AngularJS, so he started looking at how to integrate it with his Java-based workflow. On the backend, you can control your environment pretty fine. He mentioned git flow as the ideal way to manage your source code. Maven provides developers with ways to manager builds, reports, documentation, installation and so on. Ok, in his demo he set up some java project with archetype, jersey and other things I never heard about. Good point however: he copy/pasted a testcase into the project, too, so he did test driven development. Multiple sites, single application in Django.
