DataURI.py

Data URI manipulation made easy.

This isn't very robust, and will reject a number of valid data URIs. However, it meets the most useful case: a mimetype, a charset, and the base64 flag.

Parsing

atenni

Problem: When linking to the raw version of a gist, the link changes with each revision.

Solution:

To return the first file from a gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/

• Example: https://gist.github.com/atenni/5604522/raw/
• Works even when you change the filename.

To get a file from multi–file gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/[file_name]

Subcommander

Managment commands are assumed to be unique across all apps in a Django project. This can lead to long or obscure command names in attempt to namespace those commands.

Subcommander acts as a proxy command giving the real commands a namespace. The subcommander module can be named after the app name or some derivation. The structure looks as follows:

myapp/
    management/
        commands/
