import urllib, hashlib
from django import template
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.staticfiles.storage import staticfiles_storage

# To use this template tag:
# 1. Add it to the templatetags/ directory of your Django app.
# 2. Then load and use it in the template like so:
#
# {% load gravatar %}
# {% gravatar_url '[email protected]' 96 %}
#
# 3. Configure settings.py:
#
# GRAVATAR_DEFAULT = 'mm'  # Mystery Man.
# GRAVATAR_RATING = 'pg'   # PG rated only.
# GRAVATAR_SIZE = 40       # Size to use if not specified.
