ByteSplitterField
When you want to save integers to the db, you usually have the choice between 16-, 32- and 64-bit Integers (also 8- and 24-bit for MySQL). If that doesn't fit your needs and you want to use your db-memory more efficient, this field might be handy to you. Imagine you have 3 numbers, but need only 10 bit to encode each (i.e. from 0 to 1000). Instead of creating 3 smallint-fields (48 bit), you can create one 'ByteSplitterField' which implements 3 'subfields' and automatically encodes them inside a 32 bit integer. You don't have to take care how each 10-bit chunk is encoded into the 32-bit integer, it's all handled by the field (see also field's description). Additionally, the Field offers opportunity to use decimal_places for each of your subfields. These are 'binary decimal places', meaning the integer-content is automatically divided by 2, 4, 8, etc. when you fetch the value from the field. You can also specify how values are rounded ('round' parameter) and what happens when you try to save a value out of range ('overflow' parameter) Not implemented (maybe in the future if I should need it sometime): * signed values. All values are positive right now! * real (10-based) decimal places (actually you could probably directly use DecimalFields here) * further space optimization, i.e. saving into CharField that's length can be chosen byte-wise

create_c
Instead of creating a dictionary on every view everytime you could do this and just call it like c = create_c(request)

Registration with confirmation email
This registers a users taking data from a submitted form, sends a confirmation email, activates the account when the confirmation link is clicked and logs the user in

ultralize
This is a function based on django's urlize modified to show different media based on their url. It supports images, links, mp3/ogg links, youtube videos, vimeo videos and dailymotion videos. I added a switch called mini to have two modes to show things in different places. When mini is activated it will only parse the first url provided and discard the rest as well as limiting the height.

Template tags for localizing UTC times with pytz
For example: Last modified: {% localdt item.modified_utc %} ({% localtimesince time.modified_utc %}) Converts the input datetimes to the timezone specified by the localtz context variable (it can also be explicitly specified, and all those other sensible things). Input UTC datetimes can be specified using either a datetime or a timestamp. Provides `localdt`, `localtime`, `localdate` and `localtimesince`.

nested transactions context manager and decorator
This is a modification of Django 1.3's transaction.commit_on_success() decorator and context manager. It's inspired by snippet [1343](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1343/) which unfortunately don't work in current Django neither as a context manager. In my junior projects it works fine but I've not tested in critical projects yet! YMMV ! How it works: it simply counts the nesting level and does the real transaction enter/exit only on first call and last call respectively (code copied from Django's commit_on_success() ). It use thread local storage to save the per-thread nesting level count safely. To use it just put the code in a file (i.e. nested_commit_on_success.py) and import and use it exacly as normal commit_on_success(), both as decorator (@nested_commit_success) or context manager (with nested_commit_on_success(): ). Any feedback is welcome!

TinyIntegerField
Django lacks support of MySQL's "tinyint" 8-bit-integer datatype. This snippet gives you a TinyIntegerField and a PositiveTinyIntegerField. Falls back Django's SmallIntegerField if a different database-engine is used

Return to change_list with filter after change
This snippet allows you to return back to the filtered change_list after clicking "Save" on a change form. Other snippets I've found don't seem to take into account clicking on "Save and add another" or "Save and continue"

Dynamic Regroup Template Tag
Django's built-in {% regroup %} template tag is great, but sometimes, you need to pass in the attribute you want to group on instead of declaring the attribute when you define the tag. {% dynamic_regroup %} is identical in function to {% regroup %}, except that it will attempt to resolve a context variable for the attribute you want to group by. {% dynamic regroup %} is also backward compatible, so you can also hand in the attribute literal and it will work as expected. See the end of the code for an example of usage.

grouper tag
I needed to display formset into table and I didn´t like solution I have found. So I have written this simple tag you can use it in templates like this: ` {% for row in formset|square_it:6 %} <tr> <td> </td> {% for form in row %} <td> {% for field in form %} {{ field }} {% endfor %} </td> {% endfor %} `

Update timestamp If any instance field has changed
Needed a function to check if any field in an instance has changed. If so update a datetime field to now to keep track of changes. This function is an override of the save function in the model.

Generic view mixing that allows output to JSON, HTML, HTML SNIPPETS
Adding this mixing to your existing class based views allows for outputting of queries into any registered serialzier format -- very handy for dynamic JS based GUI on the JSON format. This generic view mixing was created on our last project which required a fancy JS based user experience and yet also needed to be accessible through non JS enabled browsers.
