Python Calendar wrapper template tag

This tag gives you an iterable Python [Calendar object](http://docs.python.org/library/calendar.html) in your template namespace.

Use it as follows in your template: {% get_calendar for <month_number_or_variable> <year_or_variable> as calendar %} <table> <tr> <th>Mon</th> <th>Tue</th> <th>Wed</th> <th>Thu</th> <th>Fri</th> <th>Sat</th> <th>Sun</th> </tr> {% for week in calendar %} <tr> {% for day in week %} <td>{{ day.day }}</td> {% endfor %} </tr> {% endfor %} </table>

X-Sendfile static file serve view

This view has the same functionality as Django's builtin static view function but when the configuration option `USE_XSENDFILE = True` is specified in the settings it returns the absolute path of the file instead of its contents. This allows the mod_xsendfile module in Apache or Lighttpd to take care of efficiently serving the file while still allowing for Django to take care of other processing of the request, like access control or counting the amount of downloads.

Default to current/all sites in admin (updated!)

This code sets the default sites for a sites ManyToMany property to `Site.objects.all()`, which makes sure you don't have to bother setting it for each item on a site. This could easily be changed to `Site.objects.get_current()` to use the current site as default.

Soft hyphenation (&shy;) template filter using PyHyphen

This template filter is meant to insert soft hyphens ([&shy; entities](http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/shy.html)) in text whever it can. For this is relies on a **recent** checkout of the [PyHyphen](http://code.google.com/p/pyhyphen/) interface to the hyphen-2.3 C library, which is also used by Mozilla and OpenOffice.org. It takes two optional parameters: the language to hyphenate in and the minimum word length to consider for hyphenation. If no language is given, the default language from the settings file is used. The second parameter defaults to 5 characters. Usage example: {% load hyphenation %} {{ object.text|hyphenate:"nl-nl,6" }}
