This template provides boilerplate code for starting a django app as a python distribution.
The intention is to make use of the django_extensions command create_app
like so:
python manage.py create_app -t /path/to/DJANGO_APP_TEMPLATE/TEMPLATE -p /path/to/distributions {{ app_name }}
Automatic replacement of username, email and gituser in
setup.py requires django_extensions version 0.7.1 or greater. Once you've
got that, add a dictionary like this
to your settings.py:
EXTENSIONS_REPLACEMENTS = {
'username': 'My Name',
'email': '[email protected]',
'gituser': 'mygituser',
}
Then, assuming you're using github for version control, you can initialize your new repository:
cd /path/to/distributions/{{ app_name }}
git init
git commit -a
git remote add origin [email protected]:<username>/django-{{ app_name }}.git
Once you've got your version control going, you can use pip to install the distribution as an editable.
pip install -e [email protected]:<username>/django-{{ app_name }}.git#egg=django-{{ app_name }}
