I've written some thoughts on #django settings, inspired by this week, because it's so rare to see people sticking with a single settings file.

@carlton @markwalker You can write tests for a single settings file that import it under different env var conditions to check for such errors 😉

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@webology @carlton @markwalker Yes I also like overriding test settings in a pytest fixture or the unittest runner - it definitely isolates them and reduces risk of accidental deployment.

🤔 Does anyone have thoughts on a good/reasonably priced analytics web service that's not Google Analytics (they have enough of my data)?

Emphasis on reasonably priced please.

Django Packages is 2 to 3 million hits a month, every month, which is $200 to $500 a month (browsing pricing pages) for non-Google companies.

Cloudflare has been fine, but they only show the last 30 days.

@webology I have my CDN logs in an s3 bucket and use goaccess to analyse them locally, it’s pretty good if basic

There should be a command called docker-decompose #misheard #typo

What should it do?

The #PyPI team has been killing it lately, removing the ability to upload new PGP signatures following @yossarian's audit of PGP on PyPI 🚀

@alex @sethmlarson @yossarian That was pretty good

Out of frustration, I adopted adding "--skip-checks" today to a Django project, and performance increased 1000000 billionity infinity times to the moon and back. (It shaves off 10 to 30 seconds on reloading)

🤔 This project has two apps and is about as vanilla as they come. While I suspect I am seeing a bug, is anyone else out there seeing a huge local development performance increase when disabling them?

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@webology @carlton django-watchfiles is alpha and reloads too often, though Tom Forbes has been looking into improving it.

adamchainz,
@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@webology @carlton profile with e.g. py-spy? should highlight the misbehaving check pretty quickly

I've been working with @webology on an updated version of DjangoBook.com, the original site/book by Adrian and Jacob.

They transferred it over to Nigel George of masteringdjango.com and he generously passed it on to me to be used as a community resource.

So here it is: still a work in progress, but designed to be a list of current Django books.

https://djangobook.com/

The order is mainly chronological; it's hard to curate this stuff. As long as a book is real/published, it should be here.

I've just written a async view returning a StreamingHttpResponse which streams the results of PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY messages as Server Sent Events. The future is now, using old tech. All thanks to Django 4.2 and psycopg 3 🫶

@valberg fantastic work. A win for keeping it simple and stable. Now I want a use case…

It's definitely true that a 500-line function is the wrong way to get a job done.

But 100 5-line functions is also the wrong way.

@adamchainz@fosstodon.org avatar

@nedbat would you rather refactor a hundred duck-sized functions or one horse-sized function?
