Setting permissions in a datamigration does not work. Why?

While not exactly new, async programming has arrived quite recently in the Python core. This enabled to create a wide ecosystem of async first or async enabled libraries and frameworks that makes async programming more available to the everyday developer. Writing an async microservice is a good way to get your hands dirty with async programming.

A novel way to configure a Django application with a single CLI command, withouwt editing project files directly

What’s AST? How django-app-enabler works? A detailed step-by-step guide at the inner working details of django-app-enabler and how it applies AST to manipulate a django project configuration

Some notes regarding pytest.mark.parametrize, a feature that can change the way you plan your tests

what if you (like me) don’t like to clean up your code while in the zone, but you value a linted and well formatted codebase?

How do I get at runtime the list of modules installed by package? Use setuptools, Luke!

Migrating django CMS plugins data from one model to another, for example during an upgrade, is a bit tricky. Thansk to its polymorphic nature, though, it’s not complicated to achieve, one you know the underlying structure.

Since the introduction of Channels, real time web has become much easier to work with in Django. It’s now possible to build real time applications with much less effort in managing the idiosyncrasies of the async programming and a lot of batteries are included. Starting with a brief introduction to Channels (targeting version 2.0), we will see how to build a real time application, both on the Django and the frontend side and how easy it’s to start experimenting with it. The talk has a very hands-on approach, to allow the attendees to experiment with the proposed solution and approach, and starting immediately building their own real time applications with Django.

django CMS is a complex Django application which heavily relies on the Django ORM to accomplish its goals. Some of its patterns are good references about how flexible the Django ORM is, others are more hacked solutions for complex problems, which shows ‘don’t try at home’ practices.

Testing applications integrated with django CMS can be complex with a lot of boilerplate code and some dark corners This talk will try to make it clearer and easier to write tests and will present tools to reduce the effort and the boilerplate.
