Edward Tufte’s books do a beautiful job of illustrating how to present huge amounts of information clearly and simply. Well presented information is critical to good interface design, but it’s not the whole story. Guidelines on how to present complex functionality clearly and simply are harder to find.
Instructions for packaging and distributing Django apps with setuptools and easy_install
Django's testing framework assumes you will be running your tests against "live" views that have been plugged in to your site's URL configuration - but sometimes you might want to run a test against a view function without first wiring it in to the rest of the site. This class makes it easy to do that by providing a "factory" for creating mock request objects, re-using the existing test Client interface (and most of the code). Once you've created a request object in your test you can use it to call your view functions directly, then run assertions against the response object that gets returned.
Many sites need to notify users when certain events have occurred and to allow configurable options as to how those notifications are to be received. The project aims to provide a Django app for this sort of functionality.
A reusable Django app for queuing and throttling of email sending, scheduled sending, consolidation of multiple notifications into single emails and logging of mail failures.
With South, you install it and then give one or more of your apps some migrations (either writing them by hand, or autogenerating them from your model definitions). When you syncdb, you'll only sync apps that don't have migrations (things like django.contrib.auth, for example, which have a fixed schema), and then when you run ./manage.py migrate, South kicks in and does the migrations. Intelligently.
