Django-template is python application for creating django project (instead django-admin startproject) using some specific convertions, that we use in our development process.

• Create new django project, with folders: apps (for your applications), deploy (for deploy scripts and data), develop (for developing scripts and data), templates, static (both static and media here)
• Setup virtual enviroment
• Setup git repositort, creates first commit with all folders and than add .gitignore to ignore local_settings, deploy/lock, deploy/var/log, temprorary files and etc.
• Runs develop/update.sh that contains call for install all needed packages, including django, python-mysqld, south, django-misc.
• Update your project with new feathures from template
• Works on windows (if virtualenv and git (with all utils) installed)

• To create project, type:

  ./create_project.py my_proj

• To create project in some specific directory:

  ./create_project.py my_proj /some/specific/directory/

• To update your project with new feathures fromn templates, use:

  ./update_project.py /path/to/your_project/

• Arguments for additional configuration, for example:

  ./create_project my_proj --no-git

  Possible arguments:

  • --no-git - disable git stuff
  • --no-env - disable virtual env
  • --no-langs - disable multilingual part

• Make update more stable (now it very fragile). Check how update work if there are a lot of changes in project, etc.

• Add full support of multilingual - from apps to folders with compiled translations for default apps

  • Multilingual flatpages
  • Database translation
  • Making and compiling translations
