TemplateZipFile

TemplateZipFile is a class for creating ZipFiles out of Django templates. Usage example: from zipfile import ZIP_DEFLATED from django_zipfile import TemplateZipFile def myview(request, object_id): obj = get_object_or_404(MyModel, pk=object_id) context = { 'object': obj } response = HttpResponse(mimetype='application/octet-stream') response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=myfile.zip' container = TemplateZipFile(response, mode='w', compression=ZIP_DEFLATED, template_root='myapp/myzipskeleton/') container.add_template('mimetype') container.add_template('META-INF/container.xml') container.add_template('chapter1.html', context=context) container.close() return response

ModelChoiceField with option groups

This is a ModelChoiceField where the choices are rendered in optiongroups (this is already posible with a normal Choicefield) For this to work properly the queryset you supply should already be ordered the way you want (i.e. by the group_by_field first, then any sub-ordering)

create or update, then get, model instances from JSON/py dict

Basically the idea is to import/update model instances from a json data that closely matches the model structure (i.e. identical field names) From my answer to this question: [http://stackoverflow.com/a/8377382/202168](http://stackoverflow.com/a/8377382/202168) See the original question for sample data format.

Django Incremental Counter Tag

Counter tag. Can be used to output and increment a counter. For usage, see docstring in the code. This is the first complete tag that I've implemented, I hope that there are no bugs and that it's thread safe.

Active link

I needed a way to find if a menu items should be active. After searching the internet i found a few options*, but none of them did fit my needs, so i wrote my own: Usage: <a href="{% url 'view-name' %}" class="{% current request 'view-name' %}"></a> * http://gnuvince.wordpress.com/2008/03/19/the-new-and-improved-active-tag/ * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/340888/navigation-in-django

decorator for decorators with optional args

Have you ever wanted a decorator that you could apply either straight-out: @mydec def myfun(...): ... or with special arguments: @mydec(special=foo) def myfun(...): ... ? Well, decorate it with this metadecorator, and voila. (I had this idea independently, but it's been done before as decorator_withargs: http://osdir.com/ml/python.ideas/2008-01/msg00048.html. My version is actually useful because it deals with signatures and calling directly.) As http://www.siafoo.net/article/68 points out, the standard decorator module has too much magic: the "@decorator" decorator expects a wrapping function, not a working decorator. This module fixes that.

Cached model property decorator (like @property)

This is a nice decorator for using the cache to save the results of expensive-to-calculate but static-per-instance model properties. There is also a decorator for when the property value is another model, and the contents of the other model should not be cached across requests. 3 levels of caching implemented: * outermost: django cache * middle: obj._cache (for multiple properties on a single object) * innermost: replace the attribute on this object, so we can entirely avoid running this function a second time.
