<p>How to make it so projects with Django as a dependency benefit from Sphinx's auto-documentation features.</p>
<h1>The Problem</h1>
<p>I want to be able to document open source packages with Sphinx (ex. <a href="https://github.com/octoenergy/xocto">xocto</a>) and have Sphinx automatically document the Django helpers. This isn't quite the same as documenting a Django project, so I wasn't sure if the otherwise awesome <a href="https://sphinxcontrib-django.readthedocs.io/">sphinxcontrib-django</a> would be the right tool. Fortunately, there's a solution that doesn't require any additional packages.</p>
<h1>The Solution</h1>
<h2>Configuration</h2>
<p>First, in the Sphinx docs folder, create a file called <code>django_settings.py</code> and add the following:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">"""
Minimal file so Sphinx can work with Django for autodocumenting.

Location: /docs/django_settings.py
"""

# INSTALLED_APPS with these apps is necessary for Sphinx to build
# without warnings &#x26; errors
# Depending on your package, the list of apps may be different
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
]
</code></pre>
<p>Next, at the top of Sphinx's <code>conf.py</code>, add the following:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python"># docs/conf.py
import os
import sys

import django

# Note: You may need to change the path to match
# your project's structure
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(".."))  # For discovery of Python modules
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath("."))  # For finding the django_settings.py file

# This tells Django where to find the settings file
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "django_settings"
# This activates Django and makes it possible for Sphinx to
# autodoc your project
django.setup()
</code></pre>
<h2>Usage</h2>
<p>In one of your documentation files, perhaps <code>docs/localtime.rst</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-plaintext">
.. automodule:: xocto.localtime
   :members:
   :undoc-members:
   :show-inheritance:
</code></pre>
<p>Or if you are using <a href="https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/">myst-parser</a> to use Markdown with Sphinx. In this case, the file would be at <code>docs/localtime.md</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-markdown">```{eval-rst}

<h3>Python Adventures — Logging</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*4HDhsI4SfcM_dGjt" /></figure><p>This article assumes that you are familiar with the following:</p><ul><li>coding in Python 3</li><li>Python classes</li><li>Python logging library</li></ul><p>The purpose of this article is to document how we can use the Python <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html">logging</a> library to record/capture/log whatever information we want in more than one destinations in the local filesystem.</p><p>At the end of this article you should be able to:</p><ul><li>use the Python logging library to save information from your Python program in selected file destinations</li><li>log various types of information</li><li>configure the logging module to display certain types of information</li><li>configure the logging module to format the logged information</li><li>understand how not to use the Python logging library</li></ul><h3>Background</h3><p>As software developers, we often ourselves using the Python print() function for debugging and/or displaying information to ourselves and our program users. What if we want to also capture some of these information in the local filesystem to be studied later or hand off to a third-party? Instead of reinventing the wheel by creating our own library to handle logging, we can take advantage of some of the useful features in the standard Python logging package.</p><h3>Logging Levels</h3><p>The Python logging system supports several <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging-levels">levels</a> of logging information — CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, and NOTSET. For the purpose of this article, we are only interested in logging INFO-level data that we cherry pick from our programs.</p><h3>Logger Class</h3><p>The <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logger-objects">Logger</a> class is the crux of the logging library. After retrieving a Logger object from the logging library, via getLogger(), we can tell the Logger object to log information for us, via the following methods:</p><ul><li><a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.warning">warning()</a> — logs WARNING-level message</li><li><a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.info">info()</a> — logs INFO-level message</li><li><a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.debug">debug()</a> — logs DEBUG-level message</li><li><a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.error">error()</a> — logs ERROR-level message</li><li><a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.critical">critical()</a> — logs CRITICAL-level message</li></ul><p>For example:</p><pre>&gt;&gt;&gt; import logging<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; message = &quot;Log this&quot;<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; print(message)<br />Log this<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logger = logging.getLogger()<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logger<br />&lt;RootLogger root (WARNING)&gt;   <br /># the default logger object logs at WARNING level<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logger.warning(message)<br />Log this<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logger.info(message)<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; <br />&gt;&gt;&gt; # no INFO-level message is displayed on the console</pre><h4>Root Logger</h4><p>Notice that the default logger object that is returned from calling logging.getLogger() is of type RootLogger with a channel name of root and logging-level of WARNING. There can only be <a href="https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/31b82abb5c545f1e0b2ebba5fa28281c2c298173/Lib/logging/__init__.py#L1945">one</a> RootLogger instance in an application.</p><pre>root = RootLogger(WARNING)</pre><p>Because the root logger is configured for WARNING-level logging, it ignores the INFO-level message we pass to it.</p><p>To log INFO-level messages, we can alter the basic configuration of the logging system with <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.basicConfig">basicConfig()</a>. For example:</p><pre>&gt;&gt;&gt; import logging<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logging.info('hello')                                                 <br />INFO:root:hello                                                           <br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logging.warning('hello')                                           <br />WARNING:root:hello</pre><p>What this does is that it allows us to log both INFO and WARNING level messages. Notice that the logged messages include a label, INFO:root: or WARNING:root: before the message. The basic configuration formats the log message as follows:</p><blockquote><em>BASIC_FORMAT = “%(levelname)s:%(name)s:%(message)s”</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>Defaults to attributes </em><em>levelname, </em><em>name and </em><em>message separated by colons.</em></blockquote><p>We can customize the log format by passing a format keyword argument to basicConfig(). If we're only interested in logging the message as is, without any label, we can try this:</p><pre>&gt;&gt;&gt; import logging<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logging.basicConfig(format=&quot;%(message)s&quot;, level=logging.INFO)<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logging.info('hello')                                                 <br />hello                                                                      <br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logger = logging.getLogger()<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logger                                                                  <br />&lt;RootLogger root (INFO)&gt;                                                   <br />&gt;&gt;&gt; logger.info('hello')                                                    <br />hello </pre><h4>Difference between logging.info and logger.info</h4><p>Both logging.info()and logger.info() in the above example were executed by the single root Logger object. But this may not always be the case. While logging.info() is always performed by the root logger, the logger instance returned by logging.getLogger() may not always be the root logger. How do we return a logger other than root? Keep reading.</p><h3>File Handler</h3><p>The prior examples show us how to log INFO-level messages on the console. What if we want to log these messages in a file instead? The logging module provides us with a <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.handlers.html#filehandler">FileHandler</a> class. Let's create a FileHandler object that will be used with a Logger object from the logging module. The following code shows us how.</p><pre>&gt;&gt;&gt; import logging<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; log_one = logging.getLogger('root.one')<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; log_one<br />&lt;Logger one (WARNING)&gt;<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; log_one.setLevel(logging.INFO)<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; log_one<br />&lt;Logger root.one (INFO)&gt;<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; fh_one = logging.FileHandler('log_one.txt', mode='w')<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; fh_one<br />&lt;FileHandler C:\python\logging\log_one.txt (NOTSET)&gt;<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; fh_one.setLevel(logging.INFO)<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; fh_one<br />&lt;FileHandler C:\python\logging\log_one.txt (INFO)&gt;<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; log_one.addHandler(fh_one)<br />&gt;&gt;&gt; log_one.info('Hello One')</pre><p>Let’s see the content that is logged in the file, log_one.txt.</p><pre>$ cat log_one.txt <br />Hello One</pre><p>Let’s analyze the above snippet line by line.</p><h4>logging.getLogger</h4><p>By default, the logging.getLogger() function returns a root logger object if we don't supply any argument to it. The root logger object as we have learned only logs WARNING-level messages on the console. If we don't want getLogger() to return the root logger, we need to supply an argument, aka channel name to it. The channel name has to be a string, in a hierachical format, e.g. a, a.b, a.c, a.b.c, etc.</p><p>Notice that we passed the name root.one to logging.getLogger(). What we're doing here is that we are creating a child logger, one, whose parent is root. The logging module will automatically create a parent logger for us, if we don't already, and associate it with the child logger. If we're writing this code in a file, it would make sense to use __name__, instead of root, so that the parent logger will take the name of the file.</p><p>One benefit of creating child loggers is to be able to customize each one with its own logging mechanism. When a child logger is created, it inherits the parent’s logger’s logging level, which is WARNING, by default. Hence, we need to explicitly change the logging level to INFO via the setLevel() method.</p><h4>logging.FileHandler</h4><p>Then, we create a FileHandler object with a filename, log_one.txt, and file writing mode, w, to overwrite the file content each time it's opened. The default FileHandler has an file mode of a, which appends to the associated file's existing content.</p><blockquote><em>class FileHandler(StreamHandler): “”” A handler class which writes formatted logging records to disk files. “””</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>​ def </em><strong><em>init</em></strong><em>(self, filename, mode=’a’, encoding=None, delay=False, errors=None):</em></blockquote><p>The FileHandler, a child class of StreamHandler, subclasses from Handler which initializes the logging level to NOTSET.</p><blockquote><em>class Handler(Filterer): “”” Handler instances dispatch logging events to specific destinations. The base handler class. Acts as a placeholder which defines the Handler interface. Handlers can optionally use Formatter instances to format records as desired. By default, no formatter is specified; in this case, the ‘raw’ message as determined by record.message is logged. “”” def </em><strong><em>init</em></strong><em>(self, level=NOTSET):</em></blockquote><p>So, we have to explicitly set the FileHandler's logging level to INFO via setLevel().</p><h4>Logger.addHandler</h4><p>We then register the FileHandler object with the child logger, via addHandler().</p><p>Notice that we don’t have to explicitly format the log record in the above example.

Python Adventures — Logging

This article assumes that you are familiar with the following:

coding in Python 3
Python classes
Python logging library

The purpose of this article is to document how we can use the Python logging library to record/capture/log whatever information we want in more than one destinations in the local filesystem.
At the end of this article you should be able to:

use the Python logging library to save information from your Python program in selected file destinations
log various types of information
configure the logging module to display certain types of information
configure the logging module to format the logged information
understand how not to use the Python logging library

Background
As software developers, we often ourselves using the Python print() function for debugging and/or displaying information to ourselves and our program users. What if we want to also capture some of these information in the local filesystem to be studied later or hand off to a third-party? Instead of reinventing the wheel by creating our own library to handle logging, we can take advantage of some of the useful features in the standard Python logging package.
Logging Levels
The Python logging system supports several levels of logging information — CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, and NOTSET. For the purpose of this article, we are only interested in logging INFO-level data that we cherry pick from our programs.
Logger Class
The Logger class is the crux of the logging library. After retrieving a Logger object from the logging library, via getLogger(), we can tell the Logger object to log information for us, via the following methods:

warning() — logs WARNING-level message
info() — logs INFO-level message
debug() — logs DEBUG-level message
error() — logs ERROR-level message
critical() — logs CRITICAL-level message

For example:
>>> import logging
>>> message = "Log this"
>>> print(message)
Log this
>>> logger = logging.getLogger()
>>> logger
<RootLogger root (WARNING)>   
# the default logger object logs at WARNING level
>>> logger.warning(message)
Log this
>>> logger.info(message)
>>> 
>>> # no INFO-level message is displayed on the console
Root Logger
Notice that the default logger object that is returned from calling logging.getLogger() is of type RootLogger with a channel name of root and logging-level of WARNING. There can only be one RootLogger instance in an application.
root = RootLogger(WARNING)
Because the root logger is configured for WARNING-level logging, it ignores the INFO-level message we pass to it.
To log INFO-level messages, we can alter the basic configuration of the logging system with basicConfig(). For example:
>>> import logging
>>> logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
>>> logging.info('hello')                                                 
INFO:root:hello                                                           
>>> logging.warning('hello')                                           
WARNING:root:hello
What this does is that it allows us to log both INFO and WARNING level messages. Notice that the logged messages include a label, INFO:root: or WARNING:root: before the message. The basic configuration formats the log message as follows:
BASIC_FORMAT = “%(levelname)s:%(name)s:%(message)s”
Defaults to attributes levelname, name and message separated by colons.
We can customize the log format by passing a format keyword argument to basicConfig(). If we're only interested in logging the message as is, without any label, we can try this:
>>> import logging
>>> logging.basicConfig(format="%(message)s", level=logging.INFO)
>>> logging.info('hello')                                                 
hello                                                                      
>>> logger = logging.getLogger()
>>> logger                                                                  
<RootLogger root (INFO)>                                                   
>>> logger.info('hello')                                                    
hello 
Difference between logging.info and logger.info
Both logging.info()and logger.info() in the above example were executed by the single root Logger object. But this may not always be the case. While logging.info() is always performed by the root logger, the logger instance returned by logging.getLogger() may not always be the root logger. How do we return a logger other than root? Keep reading.
File Handler
The prior examples show us how to log INFO-level messages on the console. What if we want to log these messages in a file instead? The logging module provides us with a FileHandler class. Let's create a FileHandler object that will be used with a Logger object from the logging module. The following code shows us how.
>>> import logging
>>> log_one = logging.getLogger('root.one')
>>> log_one
<Logger one (WARNING)>
>>> log_one.setLevel(logging.INFO)
>>> log_one
<Logger root.one (INFO)>
>>> fh_one = logging.FileHandler('log_one.txt', mode='w')
>>> fh_one
<FileHandler C:\python\logging\log_one.txt (NOTSET)>
>>> fh_one.setLevel(logging.INFO)
>>> fh_one
<FileHandler C:\python\logging\log_one.txt (INFO)>
>>> log_one.addHandler(fh_one)
>>> log_one.info('Hello One')
Let’s see the content that is logged in the file, log_one.txt.
$ cat log_one.txt 
Hello One
Let’s analyze the above snippet line by line.
logging.getLogger
By default, the logging.getLogger() function returns a root logger object if we don't supply any argument to it. The root logger object as we have learned only logs WARNING-level messages on the console. If we don't want getLogger() to return the root logger, we need to supply an argument, aka channel name to it. The channel name has to be a string, in a hierachical format, e.g. a, a.b, a.c, a.b.c, etc.
Notice that we passed the name root.one to logging.getLogger(). What we're doing here is that we are creating a child logger, one, whose parent is root. The logging module will automatically create a parent logger for us, if we don't already, and associate it with the child logger. If we're writing this code in a file, it would make sense to use __name__, instead of root, so that the parent logger will take the name of the file.
One benefit of creating child loggers is to be able to customize each one with its own logging mechanism. When a child logger is created, it inherits the parent’s logger’s logging level, which is WARNING, by default. Hence, we need to explicitly change the logging level to INFO via the setLevel() method.
logging.FileHandler
Then, we create a FileHandler object with a filename, log_one.txt, and file writing mode, w, to overwrite the file content each time it's opened. The default FileHandler has an file mode of a, which appends to the associated file's existing content.
class FileHandler(StreamHandler): “”” A handler class which writes formatted logging records to disk files. “””
​ def init(self, filename, mode=’a’, encoding=None, delay=False, errors=None):
The FileHandler, a child class of StreamHandler, subclasses from Handler which initializes the logging level to NOTSET.
class Handler(Filterer): “”” Handler instances dispatch logging events to specific destinations. The base handler class. Acts as a placeholder which defines the Handler interface. Handlers can optionally use Formatter instances to format records as desired. By default, no formatter is specified; in this case, the ‘raw’ message as determined by record.message is logged. “”” def init(self, level=NOTSET):
So, we have to explicitly set the FileHandler's logging level to INFO via setLevel().
Logger.addHandler
We then register the FileHandler object with the child logger, via addHandler().
Notice that we don’t have to explicitly format the log record in the above example. This is because a default Formatter object does not format the message at all. If all we want is to log the raw message as it is, we can skip creating a custom Formatter object.
Formatter Objects
Formatterobjects have the following attributes and methods. They are responsible for converting a to (usually) a string which can be interpreted by either a human or an external system. The base allows a formatting string to be specified. If none is supplied, the default value of '%(message)s' is used, which just includes the message in the logging call.
Demo Project
A sample demo project that uses the logging features above is available here. In this demo, I created a Logger class that wraps functionality to log INFO-level messages into a file, using the logging module, a FileHandlerclass, getLogger() and addHandler() methods. I also supplied a Logger.log() method as a convenient function to use by its clients. The source for my Logger class is as follows.
  1 import logging
  2
  3
  4 class Logger:
  5     """
  6     This class is a representation of a logging object
  7     with a custom file handler for logging INFO-level custom messages
  8     using the Python logging library
  9     """
 10
 11     def __init__(self, name: str) -> None:
 12         self.name = name
 13
 14         # retrieve a child logger from the logging library
 15         self.logger = logging.getLogger(f"{__name__}.{name}")
 16
 17         # set log level to INFO only
 18         self.logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
 19
 20         # create a file handler with overwrite mode
 21         file_handler = logging.FileHandler(f"logs/{name}.log", mode="w")
 22
 23         # associate file handler to child logger
 24         self.logger.addHandler(file_handler)
 25
 26     def __str__(self):
 27         return f"Logger.{self.name}"
 28
 29     def log(self, message: str) -> None:
 30         """
 31         A convenient method for clients to use to log a raw message
 32         """
 33         self.logger.info(message)
In this demo, I created two Logger clients, Busybody and TicTacToe, two games that illicit responses from the user and log them. Here is a sample log file from a tictactoe game session:
$ cat logs/tictactoe.log
1 2 3
4 5 6

Conclusion
The standard Python logging library is a flexible and versatile utility that lets a developer implement a simple file-logging mechanism with the least amount of code. Feel free to reuse my Logger class in any logable application which requires:

saving the transcript in a chatbot session
saving data from one program to be fed to another program
saving email drafts before sending
saving documents in an editor
saving application configuration or settings data
saving game states

and much more. Let me know if you find this tutorial useful for your personal and commercial use. Thank you for reading.

I hope that these projects, which have proven effective for me in learning frameworks, will also assist you in your growth.</p>
<p>These projects are framework-agnostic and can be implemented using <a href="https://djangoproject.com">Django</a>, <a href="https://flask.palletsprojects.com/">Flask</a>, <a href="https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/">FastAPI</a>, or any other framework of your choice. While some projects may be better suited for certain frameworks, all of them provide valuable practice. All of these projects can be completed using either the default frontend templating system or a frontend framework like React or Vue.</p>
<h1>The Projects</h1>

<p>Creating a web application to present data can be a lot of work. An alternative option is to build an API that returns the data in a well-structured format. This project is a great opportunity to practice using Django REST Framework, Flask, or FastAPI. In fact, it is my understanding that FastAPI was specifically designed for this purpose. Nevertheless, this project can be implemented using any framework and is a valuable practice.</p>
<p>Bonus points: Don't create the data that you are working with. Instead, request for data from someone else. This will not only give you practice in creating an API but also in working with data provided by others, which is an important skill to have.</p>
<h2>2. Show me the charts</h2>
<p>Graphviz is a powerful command-line tool for generating graphical representations of data. This project involves creating a simple API that takes a Graphviz file as input, and returns a PNG image of the generated graph. The API can be built using HTML form that accepts Graphviz dot format, saves it as a file on the server, and renders the resulting image for the user to view.</p>
<p>I have built this project several times in the past, with my first implementation in 2006 using web.py. It is a great project to practice file handling and working with command-line tools in a web environment.</p>
<p>Bonus points: Saving changes to files over time so the user can go back and see what they've created in the past.</p>

<p>Historical note: My first professional Django Project was this project, it was a great way to learn the framework. It resulted in the creation of what is now known as <a href="https://pypi.org/project/django-crispy-forms/">django-crispy-forms</a>. Alas, the social network we built, "Spacebook", hasn't been online for over a decade.</p>
<p>Bonus points: Add public and private groups for people who share a similar interest.</p>

<h2 id="ronards-recap">Ronard's Recap</h2>
<p><em>"It takes a village"</em> the African proverb goes. Nowhere was this as apparent as in DjangoCon. It was my first technology conference and my experience could not have been better. People from the most senior developer to fellow juniors and even one of the co-creators of Django made the experience feel warm and inviting. Perhaps knowing that you are surrounded by introverts alleviates the social pressure, knowing that everyone has a common interest, or perhaps even love for programming also brought a soothing feeling to the experience. </p>
<p>I found several of the talks and subjects interesting, but the best part by far was the people behind the stories. It was fascinating to learn that some people are using Django to <a href="https://www.caktusgroup.com/case-study/worlds-first-sms-voter-registration-system/">promote democracy</a>, others to help those in need by <a href="https://ayudapy.org/">providing them with means to access food</a>, and even to help <a href="https://www.umuzi.org/">empower social classes</a> by teaching them not only technology skills but also educating them in ways to manage the money they will earn. Those are the things that I took home with me as the plane door closed in sunny San Diego. </p>
<p>I attended the conference thinking that I would bring home solely technical skills and maybe a few new connections on LinkedIn, but I came home filled with inspiration. It was interesting seeing how people use the same tools I use every day to do so much good for society. It felt like someone using a hammer - the same tool I have at my disposal - to remove a nail, rather than hammering one. It forces me to ask myself not only why that didn't occur to me to use the tool to remove nails before, but also what other ways there are for using the tools which neither me nor anyone else has thought of yet? Simply, it expanded my horizon for what I think is possible.</p>
<p>Another great aspect of the conference was experiencing the conference alongside my coworkers. When one works remotely, meeting coworkers is always interesting. Since one has typically worked with them for some time, they are someone you know. However, there is often a bit of tension. They sound familiar (minus the sound effect that video-communication service adds to their voice). But it takes a bit of time for one to completely relax around them. DjangoCon was the ideal social scenario to get to know some of my coworkers a bit better. I was able to see them socialize, gauge what particular talks they gravitated towards, and sneak a bad joke in-between here and there. By the time I left San Diego, I definitely felt closer to them, it's like DjangoCon helped blur the invisible line that denotes them as a coworker or friend.   </p>
<h2 id="colins-recap">Colin's Recap</h2>
<p>DjangoCon 2022 returned this fall as a hybrid conference- both online and in-person. DjangoCon was the first in-person conference I have attended in several years, and it was great to reconnect with old friends and colleagues in the community. I was lucky enough to travel to San Diego with several Cakti, including Ronard, Jason, and Karen, to learn new things about Django and visit with community members. It was a great experience, thanks to the organizers, speakers, volunteers, and all the attendees.</p>
<p>My favorite talks included:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Nurturing a "Legacy" Codebase:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/km_tracey">@km_tracey</a> walks through how to think about and approach maintaining large, legacy codebases. Valuable talk!</li>
<li><strong>The Django Admin Is Your Oyster: Let's Extend Its Functionality:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/adriennefranke">@adriennefranke</a> showed simple and creative ways to enhance the Django admin, including improved search performance and dynamic help text.</li>
<li><strong>Building a dev-focused learner management system with Django:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/sheena_oconnell">@sheena_oconnell</a> spoke about quickly pivoting the learner management system at Umuzi to be remote-first during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa.</li>
<li><strong>AyudaPy.org: From Weekend Project to Key Civic Movement During the Pandemic:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/melizeche">@melizeche</a> discussed building AyudaPy.org, a tool for people in Paraguay to find and offer assistance during COVID-19.</li>
<li><strong>Scheming with CSRF: When platforms manage to break things:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/glasnt">@glasnt</a> gave a fantastic recount of her deep dive into how CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS behaved differently between two deployed environments.</li>
<li><strong>A pythonic full-text search:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/pauloxnet">@pauloxnet</a> provided an overview of using PostgreSQL Full-Text Search (FTS) on the djangoproject.com site.</li>
<li><strong>Home on the range with Django - getting comfortable with ranges and range fields:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/JackDLinke">@JackDLinke</a> discussed the value and utility of Django and PostgreSQL's range fields.</li>
</ul>
<p>DjangoCon 2022 reminded me of the value of the open-source community and sharing the experience with old and new friends. I didn't realize how disconnected I felt over the past few years from canceling conferences and moving to remote work until I reconnected with everyone in person. And further, it is challenging to convey the value of these experiences to others without experiencing them yourself, so I hope Ronard and Jason both enjoyed their first DjangoCon experience as much as I enjoyed my return. I heard, "I came for the framework, but I stayed for the community," repeated several times throughout the conference. It captures how I feel about Django and the community, and I look forward to DjangoCon 2023 in North Carolina!</p>
