Filter to add zero-width space to break up long words

If you have long words (no spaces) that are so long that it's messing up your design, add a 0-width space in the word every X chars. Usage: Step 1. Inside your app's directory, create dir called 'templatetags'. In that directory, create a .py file (say 'app_extras.py'). Make sure you make this a python module, make an empty the init .py (with the 2 underscores on each side). Step 2. Inside template (make sure app is on INSTALLED_APPS list in settings.py): {% load app_extras %} Step 3. Enjoy! {{ some_long_word_with_no_breaks|zerowidthspace_separator:25 }}

Better debugging mail server

Python includes (and [Django recommends](http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/?from=olddocs#testing-e-mail-sending)) a simple email debugging server which prints mail to stdout. The trouble is, unlike any half-competent mail reader, long lines are broken up, and thus long URLs don't work without modification. This snippet simply unwraps long lines (broken by "=") so long URLs can be easily copied/pasted from the terminal. Save this snippet into a file named "better.py" and execute it.
