Threespot Django Project Bootstrapping

What is this?

This is a project template for Django 1.5.X. It should be used whenever a new Django project is started to ensure the consistency of all of Threespot's Django project layouts. It also provides lots of useful features which will get development up and running more quickly.

What's in it?

• A basic folder structure for templates, uploaded media and static files
• Stub requirements files for the project and for developers
• The admin (with password reset capabilities) and admindocs apps are already enabled
• A stubbed-out Sphinx documentation directory with a working autodoc configuration.
• A method of versioning settings by development, staging, and production environments; a way of locally overriding settings; sane settings defaults.

What's not in it?

• Initial static files (like jquery.js or any reset.css files)
• Any template structure beyond a base.html template
• Apps
• Documentation for your apps

How do I use it?

Clone the repo from github:

?> git clone git@github.com:Threespot/django-project-template.git

Then run the startproject command with the following arguments:

?> django-admin.py startproject myproject --template=django-project-template/project_template/ --extension=py,rst,html,txt

And that's it! You should now have a directory called myproject that is a fully-bootstrapped Django project.
