= Simple Bash Script To Setup Development Environment = Don't know why the '''sh''' wiki processor ain't workin', maybe the server doesn't have `enscript` installed, so here's a plain and not that neat view of the script: {{{ #!sh #!/bin/bash # Project Name, for example: # DJANGO_PROJECT="$(basename `pwd`)" #DJANGO_PROJECT='' # Django's HTTP server settings #SERVER_ADDR="192.168.0.2" #SERVER_PORT="8080" # Database Settings DJANGO_DB_NAME="${DJANGO_PROJECT}" DJANGO_DB_USER='' DJANGO_DB_PASS='' # Project's unique ID setting DJANGO_SECRET_KEY='YOUR_SECRET_UNIQUE_ID_HERE' # Update our Python path if [ "$(echo $PYTHONPATH | grep $(dirname `pwd`))" == "" ]; then PYTHONPATH="$(echo $PYTHONPATH):$(dirname `pwd`)" fi" # Setup DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="${DJANGO_PROJECT}.settings" # Check argument passed to script, if '-S', it starts Django's HTTP server if [ "$1" == "-S" ]; then # If SERVER_ADDR is not setup, use the default if [ -z "${SERVER_ADDR}" ]; then SERVER_ADDR="localhost" fi # If SERVER_PORT is not setup, use the default if [ -z "${SERVER_PORT}" ]; then SERVER_PORT="8000" fi # Start the Django's HTTP Server django-admin.py runserver ${SERVER_ADDR}:${SERVER_PORT} \ --settings="${DJANGO_PROJECT}.settings" fi }}} {{{ #!/bin/bash # Project Name, for example: # DJANGO_PROJECT="$(basename `pwd`)" #DJANGO_PROJECT='' # Django's HTTP server settings #SERVER_ADDR="192.168.0.2" #SERVER_PORT="8080" # Database Settings DJANGO_DB_NAME="${DJANGO_PROJECT}" DJANGO_DB_USER='' DJANGO_DB_PASS='' # Project's unique ID setting DJANGO_SECRET_KEY='YOUR_SECRET_UNIQUE_ID_HERE' # Update our Python path if [ "$(echo $PYTHONPATH | grep $(dirname `pwd`))" == "" ]; then PYTHONPATH="$(echo $PYTHONPATH):$(dirname `pwd`)" fi # Setup DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="${DJANGO_PROJECT}.settings" # Check argument passed to script, if '-S', it starts Django's HTTP server if [ "$1" == "-S" ]; then # If SERVER_ADDR is not setup, use the default if [ -z "${SERVER_ADDR}" ]; then SERVER_ADDR="localhost" fi # If SERVER_PORT is not setup, use the default if [ -z "${SERVER_PORT}" ]; then SERVER_PORT="8000" fi # Start the Django's HTTP Server django-admin.py runserver ${SERVER_ADDR}:${SERVER_PORT} \ --settings="${DJANGO_PROJECT}.settings" fi }}} You also need to make some changes to your '''`~/.bashrc`'''. Add the following to it: {{{ #!sh export DJANGO_PROJECT='' export DJANGO_DB_NAME='' export DJANGO_DB_USER='' export DJANGO_DB_PASS='' export DJANGO_SECRET_KEY='' export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='' }}} {{{ export DJANGO_PROJECT='' export DJANGO_DB_NAME='' export DJANGO_DB_USER='' export DJANGO_DB_PASS='' export DJANGO_SECRET_KEY='' export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='' }}} To use it, just source it to update environment variables: {{{ source django-env.sh }}} To run the server: {{{ ./django-env.sh -S }}} This is of course, a file that you '''won't''' send/add to your revision control system, it has private data. Now, on your project's '''`settings.py`''', you can use(these are just parts of '''`settings.py`''' of course, the ones that need change from the default): {{{ #!python import os DATABASE_NAME = os.environ['DJANGO_DB_NAME'] DATABASE_USER = os.environ['DJANGO_DB_USER'] DATABASE_PASSWORD = os.environ['DJANGO_DB_PASS'] SECRET_KEY = os.environ['DJANGO_SECRET_KEY'] }}} And now, you can safely commit '''`settings.py`''' to your revision control system without double checking to see if you forgot to delete the private parts.
