Management Command Extensions Project

Posted on November 22, 2007

If you have global custom management command extensions or if you have suggestions for some that would be useful to you in your daily work with Django, we want you. Yesterday I posted a new project on Google Code, called Django Command Extensions, that will hopefully grow into a nice repository of custom management command extensions.

Regenerate Secret Key

Posted on November 21, 2007

I had a need to generate a new secret key for a Django project that I’m working on. Often when I start a new project I’ll just copy an existing project template that I have which has all the bits and pieces in the right places. This helps me to get going quickly without a lot of fuss. Although when doing so I always need a new SECRET_KEY for the settings file. Instead of doing it manually this time, I decided to create a new custom management command and make it part of my global management command extensions project.
