I wanted to share a quick practical example of how Fabric, can make your development life easier. If you're unfamiliar with Fabric I recommend checking out its tutorial which describes Fabric thusly;
Fabric is a Python (2.5 or higher) library and command-line tool for streamlining
the use of SSH for application deployment or systems administration tasks.
The tutorial is a great resource as Fabric does not have a dense API. In fact, it has a childishly simple API. Today, I found myself using it to simplify a process I had been repeatedly performing manually. A client site of ...

GeoDjango is a very powerful tool for storing and manipulating geographic data using the Django ORM. It provides a simple API to determine distances between two points on a map, find areas of polygons, locate the points within a polygon, and much more.
GeoDjango is fairly well documented on the Django website. My aim with this walkthrough is to reduce the Django documentation to a simple set of steps that will quickly get you started experimenting with GeoDjango. As a result, some of the initial steps are summarized from the Django site with only slight modifications to fit the circumstances ...

At its minimum, the Django Admin is an effective tool for viewing and manipulating data within a Django database. At its max, it can be a robust application allowing clients and administrators to better manage their web applications. This article aims to highlight some of the admin customizations that I find particularly useful when trying to make the admin more than just a data browsing tool. If you’d like to follow along with this tutorial, you may view the associated, fully-functional Django Application at github: https://github.com/imagescape/chicagodjango-demo1. The purpose of this application is simply to demonstrate ...
