Django-Celery Progress Bar backend

This is my POC code for a progress bar backend (for delivering JSON to some AJAX frontend) in Django using Django-Celery (with RabbitMQ). It is quite concise, yet it took me a while to get there because Celery's Documentation is IMHO rather puristic. Web development is meant to be copy-paste! Here you go!

Proper fixtures loading in south data migrations

South documentation [contains a description](http://south.readthedocs.org/en/0.7.6/fixtures.html#fixtures-from-migrations) of the way you can load fixtures inside the data-migrations. def forwards(self, orm): from django.core.management import call_command call_command("loaddata", "my_fixture.json") It seems pretty clear and easy, but in fact it does not work the way you expect from south migrations, because the fixture loading does not engage the **orm** object. So, it allows **loaddata** management command to use standard models loading mechanism, and it would provide the most recent version of the models, obviously, which may not correspond to the schema of the fixture`s data. To be ensured that migration will use appropriate version of the models for fixture loading you could use code like follows: class Migration(DataMigration): def forwards(self, orm): load_fixture('my_fixture.json', orm) class Migration(DataMigration): def forwards(self, orm): with southern_models(orm): call_command("loaddata", "my_fixture.json")

Header view decorators

This file includes two Django view decorators `header` and `headers` that provide an easy way to set response headers. Also, because I have to work with a lot of cross domain requests, I include few shortcuts for convenience to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header appropriately.

Gravatar support in model save override

Overridden save() method that adds Gravatar support for a user with a profile photo field (and presumably an email field). Checks to see if user has provided a photo. If not, then query Gravatar for a possible photo. Finally, if Gravatar does not have an appropriate photo for this user, then use whatever default photo is available (in this case, 'users/photos/default_profile_photo.png'... change as necessary).

Custom collectstatic that uses etag and md5 digests to determine whether files on S3 have changed

For use with S3 BotoStorage STATICFILES_STORAGE ="storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage" and AWS_PRELOAD_METADATA = True Custom management command that compares the MD5 sum and etag from S3 and if the two are the same skips file copy. This makes running collect static MUCH faster if you are using git as a source control system which updates timestamps.

decorator to add GUID Field to Django Models

A decorator to add a GUID Field to a Django Model. There are other bits of code out there that do similar things, but it was important for the field to have a unique value _before_ it is saved in the database. The contribute_to_class method therefore registers the field class with the post_init signal of the class it's being added to. The handler for that signal is where field initialization is done.

Allow foreign key attributes in list_display with '__'

This snippet provides a subclass of admin.ModelAdmin that lets you span foreign key relationships in list_display using '__'. The foreign key columns are sortable and have pretty names, and select_related() is set appropriately so you don't need queries for each line. EDITS: * Fixed error when DEBUG=False. * Broke out `getter_for_related_field` so you can override short_description manually (see example). * Added regular foreign key fields to select_related(), since this is overriding the code in ChangeList that usually does it.
