I love Django, not just because it on top of Python, but more because it keeps its philosophy: All Zen of Python is respected with batteries included. The Ponies' framework has basically most tools and mechanisms a WebDev would want to have as such authentication, ORM multi-DB or template engine. But where Django becomes definitively ...

I'm updating Django-DBBackup's documentation and don't want to copy/paste piece of code in docs, especialy commands' usages text. Fortunately optparse and argparse have the helpful parser.print_usage() method. Unfortunately there's no Sphinx plugin to simply get these outputs and include in docs. It's time to get on the job.

It's been several months now I release Flickr-Pony and implement a photo gallery on my website. I choosed Unite Gallery for displaying my photos, a nice JS library for create a wall of pics (or slider, or other).

As explained in previous article, I decided to store my photos on Flickr. It isn't written on the paper but's it's a quite cheap cloud solution. And like all object storage, it has a public HTTP API for automate actions. Open source communities purpose a lot of client implementation in many languages ...

I'm looking for a new job, so I need to update my resume again. As a Django Dev I should store and display these data in my blog's about page. Because I'm a geek, I chose to write a Django third application for this usage and integrate it in my blog project. Obviously this app is free on GitHub: ZuluPro/django-cv.
