Refactor to remove tight coupling with Django??

[isedwards]

Feature Request

I'm looking for a generic Python package for database backups that I can use on all projects (not just Django).

I can't find anything suitable and I was wondering whether there may be any appetite to make django-dbbackup more loosely coupled to Django?

Describe the solution you'd like

I've not dug deep enough to know for sure whether this is sensible, but I think I'm suggesting decoupling BaseCommandDBConnector and BaseDbBackupCommand so that they can be used in plain Python or with other frameworks by using alternative base classes.

To answer your question: Yes this it is possible to pull out database related features into a separate package.

While I personally don't have plans to do this, you are free to do this under the conditions of the license.

However, due a high severity issue within Jazzband, it is unlikely you'll be able to pull the project into this organization.

In fact, even if I tried to pull django-dbbackup outside of Jazzband right now, I'd likely be blocked by the same issue.
