RESTful class dispatch

Yet another implementation of class based RESTful dispatch. This particular implementation features: * You do not have to call __init__ from the derived classes. * Avoids __metaclass__ which (in our environment) led to unexpected method override behavior. * Method names match the google webapp API. * One new instance per request to reduce errors in multi-threaded code. Snippets of inspiration: * [436](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/436/) * [437](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/437/) * [1071](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1071/) * [1072](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1072/) * [1226](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1226/)

Custom requests auth class for Tastypie API key authentication

In case you ever use [requests](http://python-requests.org/) (or [slumber](http://slumber.in/)) to do requests against a Tastypie API that requires API key authentication, this small custom auth class will help you. Use it like that (with requests): auth = TastypieApiKeyAuth('jezdez', '25fdd0d9d210acb78b5b845fe8284a3c93630252') response = requests.get('http://api.foo.bar/v1/spam/', auth=auth) or with slumber: auth = TastypieApiKeyAuth('jezdez', '25fdd0d9d210acb78b5b845fe8284a3c93630252') api = slumber.API("http://api.foo.bar/v1/", auth=auth) spam = api.spam().get()

Extended Form Wizard with ability to go backwards

This is an extended version of django wizard with the ability to go back and execute any step directly. To define next step to execute use the form field with the name "wizard_next_step". Don't forget to specify in your form the wizard_max_step field, so the knows the step number with the highest number, where the user was. An other improvement is the variable "wizard_data". It's a QueryDict with data from all wizard forms. It can be used to retrieve values from the field values of the forms from other steps. It could be helpfully for the latest step, where the user should see an overview of his input.

Very simple email image embed

This is a simple way to embed images in emails, rather than use absolute links, which many clients will not show by default. It has not undergone extensive testing but it should get you started. Comments / suggestions welcome.

Django enumeration for model field choices

The problem with supplying a Django model field with choices parameter is the way you check a value of that field in an object. You do nasty things like this: if model_instance.choice_field == 1: The problem of getting rid of hard-coded numbers is recognized over the internet, but I haven't found any short and understandable solution. Basically, we need a enumeration in python, that is ok to use as the Django `choices` model field argument. I've seen a couple of solutions of DjangoSnippets. Mine is shorter and easier because it only works for integer field choices.

jQuery ajax search

This is the result of my first tests with jQuery and Django. After entering a search term it gets search results using ajax and json. Then is uses the rather crude `result_table` function to generate a table of results. Django is on the serverside for generating json

Database template loader

This snippet provides getting templates from the model in database. We work with templates as usual (using as a template name value of the field **"slug"**). You can do your own application without "TemplateTypes" model - it's added for ability to filter templates. You can use choices or remove "template_type" field and "TemplateTypes" model at all. For ease of editing, you can connect all this to the admin interface, adding to the field "template_body" widget with syntax highlighting (I used [CodeMirror](http://codemirror.net/)).
