You all inspire me! 💕

@AdamChainz Indeed, I think I wrote those before I read your most recent article and then forgot to change them.

Excellent suggestions. Much appreciated, Adam! 👏

Do you use a set of base model fields for your #Django projects? If so, what fields do you include & apply to most of your models?

Here is a set of four fields that tracks created/updated date and who created/deleted the record. Anything missing or awry with this set of fields?

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

@webology Could you elaborate what you mean here? I *think* you are saying folks who post Django models on Twitter are usually also folks who the Django Admin, but I can’t tell for sure. 😊

Aside from that, anything you would change here?

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

@be_haki Interesting. Could you elaborate why you regret it? What were the downsides?

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

Do you use a #Django custom user model? If so, what do you do differently from the built-in User, and why?

I like django-improved-user. Why?

(1) email as username

(2) full-name field instead of first/last names

(3) short-name for preferred first name

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

Do you use (1) the built-in authentication provided by #Django, (2) django-allauth, or (3) something else? What made you choose it over the alternatives? What don’t you like about it?

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

On this day 10 years ago, I made my first commit to @GetPelican.

I can hardly believe it’s been a decade. Quite a milestone! 🎊

It has been an honor to have played a part in nurturing the growth of this community. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Y’all are the best. 💗

Pelican 4.7.1 is out! ✨

Thanks to the Rich project by @willmcgugan, Pelican’s dev-server component now has richer logging output.

Plus, Pelican is now being tested on the recently-released Python 3.10, and we made a few other minor improvements.

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

I’m happy to announce the release of Pelican 4.7, with improved default theme rendering on mobile devices, hidden article support, richer logging, and other tweaks & enhancements. Many thanks to the contributors who made this possible! ✨

If you are interested in contributing to #Python open-source projects, Pelican plugins are a great place to start. They are small and relatively easy to understand, and contributions to them are usually reviewed quickly. 💫 https://t.co/SZLmJ5tg1C

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

@tweeshan @feoh If you set the appropriate environment variable, it should be honored:

CONFIGURE_OPTS=“-​-
enable-optimizations” asdf install Python 3.9.1

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

Do you use Homebrew Python? You may not realize this, but Homebrew Python is not meant for you.

My latest article explains why, as well as what I think you should use instead when developing with #Python. 🐍

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

@JulianWasTaken I can understand that and would normally eschew another packaging tool on my system. But I’ve had such a pleasant experience with asdf that I don’t consider the extra tooling a burden. It’s been wonderful for me.

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

@marskar Having never used the other tools you mentioned, I am not well-positioned to comment on their relative advantages/disadvantages, unfortunately.

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

@webology That wouldn’t surprise me. I don’t use Zsh/Bash (I use Fish), but I ran into similar issues when testing asdf with Bash & virtualenvwrapper, as I mentioned here:

https://t.co/j5tXVUGZP2

I think virtualenvwrapper causes issues with lots of things, to be quite honest.

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

@webology @jezdez What trouble did you have with asdf? It uses the same underlying back-end (`python-build`) that is bundled with pyenv, so I’m surprised the end result would be all that different. https://t.co/VEvq8mspX0

[Justin Mayer 🐘 @[email protected] @jmayer]

@tweeshan asdf uses the “python-build” back-end provided by pyenv [1] to build Python from source. What are “optimised” Python binaries?
