Django Settings Splitter & Local Settings loader

Everybody know about long spagetty-style settings file for django :-) I tried to find any cool settings loader, but have no luck.I created this one myself. Ok, we forgetting about `settings.py` and creating module settings (folder named settings with file `__init__.py`). This `__init__.py` file have preloader for modules placed in settings folder and `../settings_local.py` (if exists) at the end. settings_local is awesome tool, when you use any VCS like git and have settings in vcs, but for example you have different database connection settings. You can change this settings in settings_local. Settings splitter have variable moduleweights. This variable declares weights for selected modules to allow loader sort modules by priority and use already defined settings in each other loaded module. You can define your custom modules and weights there. Ok, now few examples. settings/env.py import os # Quick-start development settings - unsuitable for production # See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/deployment/checklist/ DEBUG = not 'http/ask.helldude.ru/' in os.path.realpath(__file__) settings/assets.py # Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images) # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/static-files/ import os import sys settings = sys.modules['project.settings'] STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, 'static') STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, "project/static"),) STATICFILES_FINDERS = ( 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder', 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder', 'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder', ) settings_local.py: import sys settings = sys.modules['project.settings'] print 'I WAS LOADED KHA KHA KHA' if settings.DEBUG: print 'In debug mode' You can see amazing 'hack' there :-) I use already defined settings via sys.modules['project.settings'] (where project is common folder for my project applications). I hope you like this small lifehack for django settings! rudude.

Paypal form with better sandbox support

This is a class I use instead of the default PayPalPaymentsForm in django-paypal. I wanted to use the Paypal sandbox on my development site and the real Paypal site on my production site. Currently, if you want to output the Paypal form with the sandbox you have to call the sandbox() method on the form, rather than the render() method. Using this class instead of the default PayPalPaymentsForm, you can just set PAYPAL_DEBUG to True in the settings file and the form will take you through to the sandbox instead. Don't forget to set the sandbox merchant account's business email address as PAYPAL_RECEIVER_EMAIL too.

A more complete Drupal 7 compatible password hasher

Use this class to authenticate against Drupal 7 password strings. When importing passwords from Drupal, the database values should be prefixed with "drupal$". In contrast to the two present solutions, this class also works with passwords which were imported to Drupal 7 (e.g. from Drupal 6 or phpBB) and with passwords with variable iteration numbers. It is possible to use this class for encoding passwords, but due to questionable design decisions in Drupal (like truncating the non-standard base64 encoded hash at 43 characters) I'd recommend to do this this only if you really need to be able to migrate back to Drupal.

Dict Concat

Wanted a simple function to concatenate n dictionaries. Each dictionary passed in is deep copied to avoid any possible mutation of dictionaries being concatenated. Dictionary m's key/values will be overwritten by dictionary m+1's key/values.
