I just wrote this proposal that #Django’s third-party package tutorial recommend using a django_ module prefix to prevent name collisions, such as the historical one between django-ratelimit and ratelimit.

What do you think?

✍️ New post covering a “diffing” unit test in #Python, which checks copy-paste-tweaked code is in sync with the upstream library.

I used this technique recently on a #Django upgrade and I’m curious if anyone else has done similar.

🚀 I have just released a major update to my book Boost Your Django DX.

✍️ This update contains new content, a bunch of edits, and uses the latest versions of tools, including #Python 3.12 and #Django 5.0.

🙏 In the two years since I published the first version, I have learned a lot from the Python and Django communities. I’ve added and edited several sections to reflect these new ideas.

🍞 In 2018, I updated the #Django contributor tutorial to walk readers through an imaginary ticket adding a make_toast() function.

So far, about 60 new contributors have accidentally made a full PR with their results: https://github.com/django/django/pulls?q=is%3Apr+toast+is%3Aclosed

I bet you some future LLM product will recommend adding django.make_toast() for real because it looks like such a popular suggestion!

🏎️ Last night, I fixed a segmentation fault bug in my #Python testing library time-machine.

🤷 There were several outstanding issues about segmentation faults with unclear causes, and I didn’t have time to dive into them.

🐛 Then I received a new bug report from Marcin Sulikowski with a minimal reproduction. This research pointed directly at the problem and revealed the other reports as duplicates.

👏 Clear and reproducible bug reports are very valuable contributions!

🕺 From #Python 3.13, virtual environments created by venv will come with a #Git ignore file, thanks to @brettcannon ’s PR merged yesterday. There’ll be no need to add .venv (or whatever) to your .gitignore file then..

FYI the virtualenv package already does this 😁

🌍 Getting #Django to load the #Homebrew GDAL/GEOS libraries can be tricky. I’ve tried several options and found using symlinks in /usr/local/lib to be the best.

Yay, #GitHub updated their docs to recommend the ~/.config/git/ignore for #Git’s global ignore file over ~/.gitignore_global. Using ~/.config is a standard, avoids cluttering your home directory, and requires no extra configuration.

♦️ There is a safer alternative to 'git push --force'!

🫸 Use --force-with-lease and --force-if-includes to restrict force pushes so that they don’t unintentionally overwrite commits pushed by others.

Explained in my post: https://adamj.eu/tech/2023/10/31/git-force-push-safely/
