collectmedia command: Copy or link media files from installed apps

This management command discovers media files from all `INSTALLED_APPS` (or the apps you specify) and copies or links them to `MEDIA_ROOT`. Put this code in a file like so: yourapp/management/commands/collectmedia.py ...and don't forget the necessary `__init__.py` files. This command includes an interactive mode (`-i` or `--interactive`) and a dry run mode (`-n` or `--dry-run`) for previewing what will happen. See `manage.py help collectmedia` for more options.

Timedelta Database Field

This subclass of django.models.Field stores a python datetime.timedelta object as an integer column in the database. It includes a TimedeltaFormField for editing it through djangos admin interface. Feedback welcome. 2011-04-20: TimedeltaField can now be (de)serialized. Tested with JSON. 2009-11-23: `_has_changed()` added. Before form.changed_data contained timedelta FormFields, even if nothing changed.

local django model test

Sometimes you need to test some model features without a complete django app installation. Just play only with the model object. With these small script you have a complete in memory django installation.

Copy a model instance

Create a copy of a model instance. Works in model inheritance case where ``instance.pk = None`` is not good enough, since the subclass instance refers to the parent_link's primary key during save. M2M relationships are currently not handled, i.e. they are not copied. See also Django #4027.

object-oriented generic views

Here's an example of writing generic views in an object-oriented style, which allows for very fine-grained customization via subclassing. The snippet includes generic create and update views which are backwards compatible with Django's versions. To use one of these generic views, it should be wrapped in a function that creates a new instance of the view object and calls it: def create_object(request, *args, **kwargs): return CreateObjectView()(request, *args, **kwargs) If an instance of one of these views is placed directly in the URLconf without such a wrapper, it will not be thread-safe.

Accepting and processing PayPal IPN messages (including using App Engine)

PayPal's [https://www.paypal.com/ipn](IPN mechanism) is ridiculously easy to consume. You can tell PayPal to POST every single transaction on your account to a URL somewhere, then set up a handler at that URL which processes those transactions in some way. Security is ensured by POSTing the incoming data back to PayPal for confirmation that the transaction is legitimate. These classes are probably over-engineered, but they were a fun experiment in creating class-based generic views.

Credit Card With Newforms

Alternative version of newform code for handling credit cards. Unlike the other two credit-card snippets (http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/764/ and http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/830/), this uses two drop-down boxes instead of text fields for the expiration date, which is a bit friendlier. It doesn't do as much checking as snippet #764 since we rely on the payment gateway for doing that. We only accept Mastercard, Visa, and American Express, so the validation code checks for that.
