Yipit Django Blog: Sharing Everything We’re Learning

There's "Django Best Practices", which was discussed two months ago (although it doesn't seem like it grew a lot since): http://lincolnloop.com/django-best-practices/

HN discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2936364

Any effort to assemble "field" knowledge around Django would be great. For instance, I was looking for best practices for splitting settings.py (separating dev, test and prod-specific configs). If anybody's interested, I went through: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/88259/how-do-you-configur... , http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter12/ (under "Using Different Settings for Production") and https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SplitSettings ...

Have you all ever taken a look at Django-DBBackup?

http://pushingkarma.com/projects/django-dbbackup/

What is your opinion on it? Compared to South?

There is no comparison to South. South is used for migrating table schema, not backing up.

As someone also doing production Django for a web-app (as opposed to a news/content site) I'm thrilled to see a team committed to posting lessons-learned... but I'm always suspicious of "We're gonna post lots of great stuff here.. you know, soon." So hopefully you start coughing up the content. Looking forward to it :)

Can anyone recommend any similar existing resources?

I always liked Jacob's http://www.slideshare.net/jacobian/django-in-the-real-world-...

It is great! Unfortunately, it can't be downloaded from SlideShare, although you can from here: http://toys.jacobian.org/presentations/2009/oscon/real-world...

It's always a challenge to get more posts out but we're committed to it :-)
