Django Manage

Django minor mode for commanding manage.py

Note

Influenced by Django-mode

How to install

You can install it through Melpa:

package-install RET django-manage RET

Setup

To have package automatically turned on when you go to a Django project. Add the following hook. Otherwise, to call it manually, just run django-manage.

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'django-manage-setup)

You can also add a hook to your Html/Js/Css files if you want to be able to run one of the commands such as runserver.

virtualenv

If you develop in a virtualenv but don’t start Emacs from within, you can set the python-shell-interpreter variable to the path of the python binary inside the virtualenv (e.g. venv/bin/python.) This makes sure all your Python packages get loaded from the virtualenv, instead from the globally installed environment. You can do this with M-: (setq python-shell-interpreter "path/to/virtualenv/bin/python"), or using a .dir-locals.el file.

Features

• Ability to control manage.py, no need to switch to a shell to run commands.
• Set custom variable django-manage-root for directory where manage.py lives.
• Command completion is available when running C-c C-x mm
• Hydra menu showing most commonly used commands. (At least for my setup :P)
• Select a string you want to translate and press C-c C-x i or call django-insert-transpy. This works in both Python and templates.

Running management commands

Check out the Django menu :) BTW, only one keybinding:

• C-c C-x Shows the Hydra menu
