@djangochat @wsvincent @carlton I was checking GitHub and realized that Sara opened an issue with exactly the same idea I had after listening to the Django Chat episode about Django 6.0. I only noticed it today and this really surprised me 😄

Sara opened the issue, then Natalia commented on it, and after listening to the same episode I ended up commenting too. Same podcast, same ideas, different places, all crossing in one thread 🤯

DjangoCon Europe 2025 in Dublin 🇮🇪

Looking back at DjangoCon Europe 2025, a few months later, this was a really good way to start the in-person conference season ✨

I was there as a speaker and a DSF board member: a talk on mentoring in Djangonaut Space, a short PyCon Italia mention during the lightning talks, and many good hallway conversations 🎉

Today on my walk, I was listening to the DjangoChat episode on Django 6.0 with Natalia Bidart, hosted by Carlton Gibson and Will Vincent, and in just the first 15 minutes I got so many cool ideas to share!

For example, how we might help the community test new Django versions more easily or align releases more smoothly.

Just a little daily inspiration from a nice stroll! 🌿

Give it a listen and get inspired! 🎧

It includes the abstract, slides, the recorded video, and a short overview of the topics I covered.

DjangoCon US is also, and maybe mostly, about people.

Meeting in person folks you usually talk to online, having long conversations between talks, sharing meals, and spending time together without any agenda.

This human side is what keeps Open Source healthy and sustainable over time. It is one of the reasons why these moments matter so much to me.

Looking back at DjangoCon US, these photos bring back many great moments.

I was there as a speaker and as a member of the Django Software Foundation board. I gave my talk and spent some time on stage sharing updates about the work of the DSF, from governance to long-term sustainability.

In the end, conferences like this are about people, trust, and things built together over time.

🌕 Django 6.0 重大更新：範本局部元件與背景任務框架
➤ 深入解析 Django 6.0 的範本局部元件與任務框架技術細節
✤ https://adamj.eu/tech/2025/12/03/django-whats-new-6.0/
Django 6.0 重磅登場，為這款 20 歲的 Python 網頁框架帶來了諸多新功能。其中最引人注目的包括範本語言新增的「局部元件」(partials) 功能，讓開發者能更輕鬆地封裝和重複使用範本中的小片段，並大幅簡化了程式碼的維護。此外，Django 6.0 還引入了內建的「任務框架」(Tasks framework)，讓開發者能夠將非 HTTP 請求週期的程式碼（如寄送郵件、處理資料）卸載到背景工作執行，解決了長期以來 Django 在背景任務處理方面的不足，可望藉由第三方套件提供更完善的解決方案。
+ 太棒了！局部元件聽起來能省下大量重複的範本程式碼，尤其在維護大型專案時肯定很有幫助。期待它的廣泛應用。
+ 終於有內建的任務框架了！之前都得仰賴 Celery 這些複雜

#Django

@nanorepublica OK, so...

https://github.com/django/django/compare/main...carltongibson:django:tweaks/simplify-form-templates

... is the start.

Don't know if there'd be appetite for that in #django? (cc @davidsmith )

"A key part of the new feature is that nonce generation is now built-in to Django, when using the CSP middleware. Nonces are a security feature in CSP that allow you to mark specific <script> and <style> tags as trusted with a nonce attribute:"

Uhm. #django people. I don't know if "nonce" was constructed by the django project or comes from an existing web standard, but, here in the UK, at least, "nonce" is slang for a child molester.

Two great Django Async projects highlighted in this week’s Django News.

DjangoRealtime, which is SSEs using Postgres as the messaging layer, and Django-Liveview, which lets you build real-time, reactive interfaces with Django using WebSockets, based on Channels.

django-new is designed to be used with uvx or pipx. uvx django-new [--api] [--web] [--worker] name [folder] django-new has some opinions about the folder structure and what files are most useful for certain use cases. For example, config is used to store "project-level" files like settings.py. The --api, --web, and --worker flags can be used as an additional modifier to create a specific type of application. Along with the typical Django files, django-new also creates a few typically used files (if they do not already exist) when creating a new project: - .env - Environment variables - .gitignore - git ignore patterns - pyproject.toml - Python project configuration (PEP 621 compliant) - README.md - Project documentation Create a new API uvx django-new --api name [folder]

It was a winding road, but ended up here: https://github.com/adamghill/django-new/blob/creators/README.md.

Mostly thinking about:
- provide patterns for a small set of use cases: API, website, and worker
- be un-opinionated about actual libraries used for those use cases
- remove manual chores that always need to happen
- paper over the distinction between "project" and "app” because I think the terminology is confusing as heck for new #Django devs

We'll have to get you on @djangochat in the new year so you can tell us all about it! 🎙️ #Django #Channels #LiveView

Channels v4.3.2 is now available on PyPI. 🚀

Adds the official markers for Python 3.14 and Django 6.0 and there's some new community provided stub files you can get with an extra.

Let's try that:

$ pip install -U channels[types]

You might need to quote that if you have one of those fancy shells that like quotes 👾

Enjoy! #Django 🦄

Dear #django
Every time you refresh the page with DSF Board Candidates, the candidates’ order shuffles.

So, if you haven't fully reviewed 19 people at once, you have to re-sort them in your mind. Over. And. Over. And web pages get refreshed A LOT.

WHY is this the case @thibaudcolas and @bmispelon? Why do you hate us, who only want to vote for board members?

Question Django :
Dans une app, je souhaite avoir un Model qui fait référence (façon ForeignKey) à des objets qui ne sont pas dans un Model, mais dans une source JSON en lecture seule, qui peut évoluer de son côté au fil du temps.

Je me dis que je dois construire un Model simulé, qui expose les objets du JSON à la relation avec les objets du Model de l'app.

Donc on aurait le Model A, stocké en bdd, qui aurait un champ ForeignKey faisant référence à un Model B. Le Model B n’aurait pas de vie, à part pour exposer ses objets au Model A (et au reste de l’app).

J’ai bon jusque là ?

Donc en gros il faut une étape de sérialisation du JSON au moment du démarrage de l’app, ou de l’instanciation du Model A, c’est ça ?
Pour ça, vous connaissez des guides un peu précis ?

#django

What is the current best practice to have different #settings in a #django project to run inside of a #container? The goal is to have default settings for development and let folks put production configuration values via mount in #production.

If you're curious about trying PyCharm for #Django, a way to test it, is to buy a license through the current campaign since the cost (€76) becomes a donation for the DSF! (excl VAT)

I like PyCharm a lot, but I'm not in love with any specific IDE, so I'm not trying to win anyone over... you could be a happy LiClipse/VIM/Emacs/Sublime etc user and simply consider it a donation and then just install PyCharm to try it out... nothing to lose (except some disk space) 😎

🤔 I have been sitting on Emma's Django Admin Deux article all day and I think it's super cool.

I struggled with it at first out of fear of how different the examples looked compared to the existing Admin code which IMO should continue to just work.

Seeing "7. Familiar Django Admin Patterns" really took the edge off for me, and it seems like once complete, we might have the best shot at expending the Django Admin another decade or two.

I've had some thoughts brewing on DEP 15, which expands on the functionality that `startproject` offers.

The discussion on that DEP PR was mostly about drafting the DEP, so I wrote up my thoughts in a new forum post:

Tentative plans for the next two #WagailCMS release, now ready for review ✨ https://github.com/wagtail/rfcs/pull/111

Next release:

- Autosave MVP

Next + 1:

- Customizable page explorer
- Independent security audit
- Package maintainers guide
- Natural language search

#Django #OpenSource

TL;DR; rewrite it in #Rust! To reduce energy use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAHYQNG1qYI Full podcast coming soon (with way more nuance included 😉), there are lots of things we can do as #Django / #Python tech people to build leaner

Django's built-in admin is powerful, but it's essentially a separate framework within Django. After attempting to modernize django-admin2, I realized we needed a fresh approach: an admin interface that works like the rest of Django, built on generic CBVs, plugins, and view factories. Meet Django Admin Deux: a proof-of-concept admin where CRUD operations are just actions, knowledge transfers both ways, and everything feels like Django.

I've been trying to fully grasp the discussion to move to CalVer versioning, and its benefits for users and app maintainers. I can say that I'm CONVINCED that it's a good idea because it has some real advantages 👍

What really convinced me is knowing that here is 1 feature release per year. Not 0. Not 2. But 1. This solves a planning problem with routine and reliability.

Let's try something here... If I told you that you could get Extended LTS support for some older Django versions (5 years instead of 3 to start with), how much would you be willing to pay for that?
This poll is probably mostly directed at SMB Django shops.

Nothing, all my clients run supported versions:	0
Less than 100€ / year:	0
Less than 1K€ / year:	0
1K€ / year or more:	0

Yesterday we were having the old built-in vs write your own discussion about templates for the DTL. @nessita mentioned that bootstrapping the templatetags module can be a pain. It’s a one time cost but it’s still multiple steps.

“I bet django-extensions already does this”. And sure enough:

https://django-extensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/create_template_tags.html

It really is a great little add on. ⭐️ #django

https://hakibenita.com/django-reliable-signals#django-tasks

Django signals are extremely useful for decoupling modules and implementing complicated workflows. However, the underlying transport for signals makes them unreliable and subject to unexpected failures.

In this article, I present an alternative transport implementation for Django signals using background tasks which makes them reliable and safer to use in mission critical workflows.
--<--

#Django has built-in support for sorting a dictionary in the DTL, but not for fetching the value from a dictionary using another variable as the key. Maybe we should add it?

I wanted to add a progress SVG to my new project's #Django template via https://github.com/adamghill/dj-spinners.

1. `uv add dj-angles dj-spinners`
2. Add mapper to `dj-angles` settings in my project (https://dj-angles.adamghill.com/en/latest/mappers.html#string-value)
3. Add `"dj_spinners.templatetags.dj_spinners”,` to `TEMPLATES[0].OPTIONS.builtins`
4. Instead of `{% spinner "3-dots-bounce" %} ` use `<dj-spinner name="3-dots-bounce" />`

Voilà!

Django 6.0beta1 is out! 🎉

It brings new built-in features like CSP support, background tasks, and partial templates, all ready to use without extra packages. 🧩

It’s not ready for production yet, but now is a good time to test it, report bugs, and get your projects ready for the final release. 🚀

📣 An Introduction of sorts
📄 My personal Django journey
🔗 https://softwarecrafts.co.uk/100-words/day-291
#100_words,#django,#career,#community

The amount of my own code I am going to throw away moving to #django generic views is ridiculous. As is the amount of time I could have saved had I #RTFM 'ed a little harder. #python

Could any web devs here who are using #django point me in the right direction on this?

I have a multi-tenant blog app where the templates for a given blog are found in subdirectories of `<app>/templates`. For non-class-based-views, I can pull the tenant from the request and use that to build the template path for `render()`.

I'm now trying to add some generic class-based-views, and the template loading insists on a template resolution scheme that is independent of a request object, so I am struggling to figure out how to isolate templates by tenant.

Any thoughts or tips would be very appreciated.

🚢 Just released Django Keel – a production-ready Django starter.

For 10+ years I maintained a popular Django cookiecutter template used across client projects and FOSS. Django Keel is all those lessons distilled into something cleaner and more modern.

Tired of spending 2 days on boilerplate every time? Me too.

Not a toy. Not a tutorial. Just the boring defaults that actually work in production.

If you were in Office Hours yesterday, this is the post about using proxy models (my brain was stuck on abstract models) which I liked because it's clever and simplifies search vs. trying to search over several models.

#Django

This week has added controls for controlling related object fetching and now DB level cascades to the ORM. At this rate I’m going to be skipping Django 6.0 and running 6.1 off of main instead. Django is on fire 🔥 #django

Django 6.1 will support database-level delete options for related fields 🚀 The database variants are much more efficient because they avoid fetching related objects ⚡ This is a great win for Django on the Med 🏖️ Let's dance 💃🕺

#Django people, what do you use by way of #emacs packages these days?

(Or should I ask #emacs people what packages you use for #Django? Whichever way it goes round 😅)

It's not quite in a release yet, but I just got automated deployments using SQLite working on Railway.

It uses dj-lite under the hood, so thank you @adamghill! It's really satisfying to offer flexibility in which database to use through a django-simple-deploy plugin.

I wrote about git exclude before, and now I've added a Django-specific quick tip to my blog:

Using git exclude for personal Django management commands.

A super helpful and simple trick; it's even reduced my need for Jupyter Notebook with Django shell.

If you would like to learn more before to apply, @thibaudcolas and I are happy to answer your questions! 💚

Feel free to ask them below, and we will do our best to answer them 👇🏽

🎉 I hadn't kept up with what Django's Steering Council had been up to outside of random board updates, and I'm happy to share how impressed I am with how transparent they are.

They are meeting several times a month and sharing their minutes as they go. https://github.com/django/steering-council

They are even sharing on the Django Forum to bring more visibility to what they are doing https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/django-steering-council-meetings-2025/38306

These are very welcoming changes. 👏👏

Another stellar post from previous @djangonaut, Philip Narteh 🚀

https://labs.quansight.org/blog/migrating-pyopensci-to-django

> This blog post is about that journey. It's about learning about tools, meeting brilliant people across Quansight, and discovering that open source is less about the code you write and more about the people you collaborate with along the way, as well as what you learn. The goal isn't perfection. It's progress.

This week I found a bug in #Django that turned out to be a regression introduced 12 years ago. Somehow it went unnoticed (or at least unreported) in all that time.

My one-line fix was just merged, so for the 3 people out there still using flatpages, you're welcome! 🫠

🌘 Django：一套 ORM 統馭所有資料庫
➤ 一覽 Django ORM 在主流資料庫後端的功能支援度
✤ https://www.paulox.net/2025/10/06/django-orm-comparison/
本文旨在釐清 Django ORM 在 PostgreSQL、SQLite、MariaDB、MySQL 及 Oracle 等主流原生資料庫後端上的支援情況。作者透過建立一個功能矩陣，直觀比較各資料庫在模型欄位類型、約束、進階查詢、交易處理、完整性及空間地理資訊等方面的支援程度，以協助開發者快速瞭解各資料庫的優勢與限制，並期望推動 Django 官方提供自動更新的功能比較表，優化開發者選擇資料庫的決策流程。
+ 這篇文章實在太實用了！一直以來都對 Django ORM 的跨資料庫支援感到困惑，這份比較表清晰地指出了各項功能的支援狀況，省了我不少試錯的時間。
+ 我非常贊同作者的觀點，官方應該提供一個自動更新的功能比較矩陣。這不僅能幫助開發者，也能鼓勵社羣為填補支援空缺做出貢獻。

A morning of leisure and relaxation after three intense days of sprints was just what we needed to recharge and unwind 😌

Of course we kept talking about all the ideas we shared these days but this time far from the computer while exploring the old town of Girona 🏰
