Empty Thoughts

I think I’m hanging out in the wrong channels:

Thanks Alex Gaynor, that was very creative.

Based on our discussion on the latest episode of This Week in Django we have decided to go ahead and set up a #django-dev IRC channel. This is not anything official—just a place to hang out and get help. This channel will only be for questions related to developing Django itself, not general user questions. So if you’re working on a Trac Ticket and need some help or have some questions, join us here and hopefully someone will be around to give you a nudge in the right direction. As always, be sure to read about how to contribute to Django before asking a bunch of questions that have already been answered.

Peter Sheats mentioned today in the #django IRC channel that he wrote a script to autoload his installed application models automatically in the shell. This is something that I’ve had on my todo list for some time. All the importing when I’m trying to quickly test out something small in the shell can get quite cumbersome.

Peter’s approach is a short and nifty piece of code. Check it out and save yourself a lot of typing. Now I owe Peter a beer.
