$ pip install django-time-out

To get the latest commit from GitHub

$ pip install -e git+git://git.com:sparky300/django-time-out.git#egg=time_out

Add time_out to your INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...,
    'time_out',
)

Add down_time middleware class to your settings.

'time_out.middleware.DownTimeMiddleware',

Don't forget to migrate your database

./manage.py migrate time_out

Usage

This application simply runs middleware that checks to see if the site is down for maintenance based on scheduled maintenance dates/times.

Note: Time Out uses process_request with one database trip, means there will be a small performance hit on every request.
