Use Django Fixtures to Automatically Load Data when You Install an App

Use Django Fixtures to Automatically Load Data when You Install an App

First, load some data via the admin that should always be there when someone installs the app.

Next, dump that data out into JSON format into a fixture:

$ ./manage.py dumpdata [app_name] > [app_name]/fixtures/initial_data.json

A module to facilitate dispatch of asynchronous tasks in a Flask App. This was designed to work standalone in an embedded fashion without dependencies like flask-celery, redis etc. This is not meant to be a reliable means to execute tasks, just a quick and easy solution for most needs.
"""
An asynchronous task manager.
This is a simple implementation for background task handing. No guarentees are
provided for task execution.
This was developed in the course of the work don for the victims project and
that version is available at
https://github.com/victims/victims-web/blob/master/src/victims_web/handlers/task.py

Workflows in Django

Workflows (States) in Django

I'm going to cover a simple, but effective, utility for managing state and transitions (aka workflow). We often need to store the state (status) of a model and it should only be in one state at a time.
