Big congratulations and thanks to both the Django Security Team and the Fellows: It's their merit on security which has earned the DSF status as a CNA.

I forgot to celebrate a really cool personal milestone that happened earlier this week: I have a PR that has been merged into #Django.

https://github.com/django/django/pull/21307 adopts and slightly improves a long-standing extension command, `listurls`, which gives Django developers an easy way, built-in, to list the URLs that their application responds to. Thanks to the help from the Django fellows getting the PR into shape, and to Ülgen S for the middle pass at the PR.

Quick reminder that @carlton's talk "Async Django: The practical guide you've been awaiting for" is a wonderful resource if you're wanting to build async Django applications. Give it a watch as a #LunchTalk! #Django

https://www.better-simple.com/lunch-talks/2026/05/28/async-django/

Today I'm helping my friend @carlton present his talk "Static Islands, Dynamic Sea" at PyCon Italia 2026.

We've known each other for years through Django, and we're currently co-organising Django on the Med together.

Former @django Fellow, maintainer, and co-host of @Djangocha, Carlton is exploring how typing can add safety where needed while keeping Django's dynamic nature intact.

This afternoon I had the pleasure of introducing @sarahboyce keynote at @pycon 2026 🐍

Her talk, “Django has a marketing problem”, tackled some old myths about Django and reminded us that, after 20 years, it is still modern, fast, and actively developed.

As someone involved in the Django community, it was a real pleasure to welcome Sarah on stage 💚

#PyConItalia #Django #Python #OpenSource #Community

Just finished presenting my talk at PyCon Italia 2026: “Django GeneratedField by Example” 🐍

The schedule was a bit tight, but somehow we still managed to get through all the questions after the talk 😄

Thanks to everyone who joined the session, asked questions, grabbed Django on the Med stickers, or adopted one of the small 3D-printed Python Pescara keychains 🐬

Now time to finally breathe a little before the next hallway conversation starts ☕️

Me and @carlton used the morning to run Django Off The Med: a small @django sprint, far from the sea but with the same spirit of Django on the Med.

Beginners, first-time contributors, and more experienced people worked together on issues and pull requests.

A productive and very nice way to start the conference 🙂

Finally biting the bullet and forking django-wiki. Don't really want to maintain another package, but with all the templates I override to use #Bulma CSS it's doesn't make sense to wait for upstream to support Django-6.0.

But it was absolutely worth it. PyCon US 2026 was an intense week full of talks, keynotes, hallway track conversations, and so many encounters with people from the community.

In today's instalment of "#django is confusing": transaction.on_commit.

Consider this code - when does the on_commit fire (and "on commit" print)? A, B, C?

Alt...

A code snippet with the following code: from django.db import transaction from functools import partial with transaction.atomic(): print("before") with transaction.atomic(): print("Before inner") transaction.on_commit(partial(print, "on commit")) print("After inner") # A print("after") # B # C

It's midday on a Monday, and I've already triaged 13 #security reports for #django. 10 of which were raised in the space of 20 minutes by a single reporter.

Not a single one identified a real vulnerability. Non-issues, already documented consideration or lack of user input sanitisation. A human in the loop would have noticed all of these.

I'm not convinced this "AI Security" thing is really making life better.

I missed last week, but no worries. This week's #LunchTalk makes up for it. It's from @josh from #DjangoCon US 2024. It's his talk "An Opinionated Guide to Modern Django Forms".

Give it a watch to learn about Django's form improvements!

I’m proud that my work (https://nomnom.fans/) is helping to make the #HugoAwards happen again this year. When you vote in the Hugo Awards, or download the packet, you're using software I wrote. It's open source -- a rarity in convention software, but in my opinion, so critical to the trust we must have in the process -- and made with #Python and #Django and many other software libraries that are also freely given to the developer community.

https://django-news.com/archive/issue-335-redesigning-djangoprojectcom/

#Python #Django #DjangoNews

@davidism 👇
> Avoid using null on string-based fields such as CharField and TextField. The #Django convention is to use an empty string, not NULL, as the “no data” state for string-based fields. If a string-based field has null=False, empty strings can still be saved for “no data”. If a string-based field has null=True, that means it has two possible values for “no data”: NULL, and the empty string. In most cases, it’s redundant to have two possible values for “no data”.

RE: https://chaos.social/@carlton/116452271603429689

I’m happy to see this Django feature finished:

We replaced the blank choice label of a select form control with words, rather than only dashes.

Why?

This idea came up in a discussion about screen readers:

Not every screen reader pronounces dashes, meaning that some configurations could not read the original blank choice text.

Plus, it’s always great to have more options to customize your forms!

I ran out of spoons after coding the proof of concept, but the great thing about OSS is that there is a team that can pick up where you left off. 🚀

Last sprint morning for me at DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens 🇬🇷

Tried to wrap up a few things I had started, helped where I could, and spent time talking and saying goodbye to many people.

Also gave a hand bringing lunch for everyone, small things but part of the whole experience 🙂

Big thanks to the organizers 🙏

This trip to DjangoCon Europe in Athens wasn’t just a flight ✈️

I tried to turn it into a small “Django speaking tour”, a bit like the one I did in 2022.

Yesterday I was in Lecce for a Django talk and a walk through the city with the local community. This morning I reached Bari, had a quick lunch by the Adriatic sea with the @pybari organizer, and then flew to Athens.

Same sea, different shore, same community.

Looking forward to meetings you all.😊

https://dev.to/rodbv/djangonaut-diaries-week-6-charting-the-unknown-unknowns-of-a-pr-3ba3

He perfectly captures the difficulties of a new contributor looking to add a new feature and the existing contributors evaluating a feature request. There's also a great section on comparing the difference in environment of contributing to Django compared to a job. It's worth a read.

Finally got around to updating my getting started contributing to #Django post, with recent talks from @sarahboyce, @cliffordgama and Jacob. I ended up removing the older GSoC pages because there's already a lot of links and people can probably guess the pattern after 3 😁

https://github.com/django/new-features/issues/137
#django #opensource

Hey #Django friends! This question came up recently.

Are there any recommended 3rd party libraries if one wanted to build a light-weight data reporting tool for internally tracking various metrics? In Django.

https://www.numerique.gouv.fr/sinformer/blog/la-fabrique-du-libre-2-quand-le-secteur-public-europeen-et-lecosysteme-open-source-collaborent-le-cas-lasuite-docs/ (La Fabrique du Libre #2 : Quand le secteur public européen et l'écosystème open source collaborent - le cas LaSuite Docs )

Le choix de la simplicité radicale

L'outil LaSuite Docs est né d'une frustration bien connue des utilisateurs d'outils de traitement de texte traditionnels. Face à la complexité excessive et aux fonctionnalités parfois superflues de Word ou Google Docs, l'équipe de LaSuite a fait le choix de la simplicité radicale.

LaSuite Docs se distingue ainsi par sa philosophie minimaliste :

- Pas de choix de la police de caractères ;
- Pas de choix de la taille de l'interligne ou des titres ;
- Pas de pagination, d'en-tête ou de pied de page.

Virgile Deville explique ce choix radical : « Cette approche, adoptée intentionnellement, contraint les utilisateurs de LaSuite Docs à se concentrer sur l'essentiel : le contenu.

Nous construisons LaSuite Docs selon le principe du 'content over form'.

Le résultat ? Des documents plus simples à produire, et surtout, à maintenir. »

Au-delà de la simplicité de son design, LaSuite Docs offre des fonctionnalités essentielles pour le travail collaboratif des agents de l'État français :

- La collaboration en temps réel ;
- Accessible via un navigateur, aucune installation requise ;
- Des documents imbriqués, pour créer organiser ses documents en base de connaissance ;

- La publication par lien, pour transformer ses notes en plateforme de documentation externe ou interne ;

- Un historique de versions et la possibilité de les restaurer en cas de souci.

Les librairies open source comme socle de l'outil

Comme le souligne Virgile « Avec LaSuite Docs, nous avons fait le choix de ne pas faire de choses trop difficiles.

Nous construisons une application Django, sur laquelle est branchée l'authentification OIDC, nous gérons les permissions sur les documents, nous traitons les sous-documents et l'interface utilisateur. »

La vraie magie opère grâce à quelques librairies open source qui gèrent toute la complexité technique.

Au cœur du système, on retrouve les CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) - des structures de données qui permettent à plusieurs personnes de travailler simultanément sur différentes versions d'un même document et de résoudre automatiquement les conflits en temps réel.

LaSuite Docs repose sur trois librairies ouvertes :

- BlockNote, un éditeur de texte riche pour assurer l'interface utilisateur ;

- Yjs, une librairie CRDT pour gérer la synchronisation en temps réel ;

- ProseMirror, un framework sous-jacent pour l'édition de documents structurés.

« C'est assez fou que nous ayons cela en open source de nos jours », souligne Virgile.

« Il y a dix ans, il n'en aurait pas été question.

Et aujourd'hui, nous pouvons réaliser ce projet relativement simplement. »

Un témoignage qui fait écho à celui de Christian Quest (https://www.numerique.gouv.fr/sinformer/blog/la-fabrique-du-libre-panoramax-de-lutopie-a-linfrastructure-publique/) , à l'origine de la base de photos citoyennes libre d’accès et souveraine Panoramax : certains projets ne peuvent démarrer qu’au moment où le contexte technologique et économique le permet.

Pour LaSuite Docs, les planètes sont alignées !

Does this workflow raise any red flags for anyone?

Before you can deploy a project to Scalingo, you need to upload an SSH key. If you're familiar with SSH keys, that's not an issue. But if you've never heard of them, it's a step that can make people put off learning how to deploy a project.

This workflow offers to assist with finding and uploading an existing key.

For more info, including how to reach Anna, see: https://pychronicles.com/post_detail/calling-for-research-participants-from-django-laravel-ruby-on-rails-nextjs-and-spring-boot-communities/

@anze3db présente une démarche optimisant le démarrage d'une application #django :
- le drapeau "python -X importtime ..." mesure les temps des imports
- "if TYPE_CHECKING:" pour déclarer des imports en tête de module et faciliter les outils de vérification de type
- ruff.lint.flake8-tidy-imports.banned-module-level-imports déclare les modules à chargement localement
⚠️ ça déporte ces temps de chargement aux 1res exécutions des requêtes

I joined @kjaymiller on his live stream series, "Elephant in the room" where we discussed a package we built for #Django on top of the #PostgreSQL Anonymizer extension.

If you are interested in faking/anonymizing data in your staging/dev environments, give it a look and let us know what you think!

I'm thrilled that my current employer is a 🩶 sponsor 💸 of the @djangoconeurope 2026 in Athens 🇬🇷 I will be there too, so don't hesitate and say hi! 🤝 #django #python #conference

Oxyde looks really cool. I work with Pydantic a lot, but have missed having the Django ORM. Oxyde appears to bring a Django ORM-like experience to Pydantic, and I'm here for it.

tl;dr: #Django is the framework for perfectionists with deadlines. Please don't submit model-generated code to meet the deadlines at the expense of perfection.

TIL about Django's conditional view processing

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/topics/conditional-view-processing/

#Django

My dear #Django friends in Fedi:

I'm in a situation where I'd need to test a function that calls a 3rd party function that uses django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource to load data.

My problem is, the data is massive and from the live internet.

I want to mock what is returned when it gets the data from the URL but I can't figure out how to mock it.

Does anyone have experience with this?

A @djangonaut cohort is focusing on django-simple-deploy from now through the end of April. It's so nice to have a small, focused group of people to work with and move this project forward!

This has put renewed focus on the dsd-vps plugin. I tabled that last fall, because there are so many questions to sort through when automating a VPS deployment process. The 0.1.1 release (very preliminarily) supports this workflow now:

#Python #Django

$ uv pip install dsd-vps # Add django_simple_deploy to INSTALLED_APPS. $ python manage.py deploy --platform digital_ocean --automate-all --ssh-key </path/to/public/key>

I've been reading the book "Brand Thinking" and it's making me wonder if Django's brand should be about being more productive with less effort.

A tagline could be "Start at 80% done." as a play on the 80-20 rule.
